Because movies like The Neverending Story, Mac and Me, and E.T. made a permanent impression in my consciousness as a child (I honestly believed there was a giant flying dog slash dragon somewhere), because only movies like these can coax an emotional reaction from me AND because I have an uhm, fertile imagination...I AM SO GONNA CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE.
The movie adaptation of Maurice Sendak's award-winning children's picture book Where the Wild Things Are is coming to theaters near me this year!
So lucky to have stumbled on this on wecouldgrowup2gether's fabulous blog (thanks much!)
Watch the trailer here.
"Inside all of us is a wild thing."
Indeed.

The Fujiwara effect or Fujiwara interaction is a type of interaction between two nearby cyclonic vortices, causing them to appear to "orbit" each other. (from Wikipedia)
With the Filipinos' penchant for Taiwanese (Meteor Garden) and lately, Korean soap operas (Full House and Princess Hours - to name a few), I've always wondered why nobody has thought about producing a project with these guys yet. And now, after being fed with a strange concoction of aliens that look like burn victims, remakes of past drama hits, remakes of other soap operas, and the usual lost-child-true-child formulas, finally, something interesting.
Produced by Ignite Media Inc. and GMA Films, and filmed in the islands of Batanes - is Batanes (thank God not another song title for a movie title!) starring Iza Calzado and Ken Chu (of F4 fame). And it's not just a TV drama series, it's a movie. I checked out the trailer on youtube and it looks quite promising.
I know, I know, just another love story right? But at least we won't be seeing people in stupid costumes and pretend there's a story there somewhere.
Hopefully Batanes is the start of something good for the (dying) Philippine film industry. There has got to be something more, something better, out there.
Right, Amber? lolz.
