what can i say? this beloved classic now turned into a feature film will captivate your heart. this movie was more emotional than i thought it would have been, but it was still fun loving and completely child-like. it brought me back to my days when i rolled down hills, played in leaves, built forts, climbed trees...oh wait! i still do those things.
maurice sendak's book was beautifully portrayed, and enhanced by the added dialogue (the book only has 10 sentences) and the whimsical soundtrack. i do not want to give too much away, but trust me, and the critics, when i say that it is worth seeing. you will fall in love with all things wild and you might shed a tear or two as you empathize with max and his monsterly subjects. so let the wild rumpus begin and go see this heart warming film.
if you live in the nyc area and want to grab a bite after your movie, my pick for the week is pio pio. there are a handful of these peruvian gems in the city, each unique in their own way. try the chicken pio and dip it into their famous green sauce. wash it down with the best sangria around. the pio pio i visited tonight is located on 10th avenue between 43rd and 44th. i felt like i was walking into the "wild things" fort! i frequent this restaurant and am never let down by the deliciousness of the food.
tomorrow i am off to the bedell winery located on the north fork of long island. i will be taking a back stage tour, thanks to my friend adam davie, to see how the wine is made and do some tasting right down in the cellars. i am excited to go back to this winery, which is my pick for the best on the whole northfork wine trail.
this is beth signing off.
mission accomplished.
