Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Where The Wild Things Are (out Dec 3) is about a young boy named Max who runs away from home and finds himself in a fantasy world filled with emotional monsters. Max is anointed their king but it turns out being a leader isn't as easy as he thought. Director Spike Jonze (Being John Malkovich) describes it not as a kid's film but rather a "movie about childhood". An apt description and we can all relate. Grade: A-.
