Danny Elfman Teaches Music for Film

This week my main pick is Spike Jonze‘s new adaptation of the classic children’s book Where The Wild Things Are. The film is doing pretty good in the reviews with a 67% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The critics weren’t so generous with the other releases with the horror remake Stepfather getting a 20% Fresh rating and the thriller Law Abiding Citizen getting only a 16% Fresh rating.

And that’s This Weekend in Movies.
