THE RULE OF THREE'S.....
is a principle in English writing that suggests that things that come in threes are inherently funnier, more satisfying, or more effective than other numbers of things. From slogans ("Go, fight, win!") to films, many things are structured in threes. There were three musketeers, three little pigs, three billy goats Gruff, Goldilocks and the three bears, and Three Stooges.
A series of three is often used to create a progression in which the tension is created, then built up, and finally released. Similarly, adjectives are often grouped together in threes in order to emphasize an idea.

One of our favorite books as a child...
Click here to see the trailer. "WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE" a classic by distinguished author-illustrator Maurice Sendak, has been made into a feature film by director Spike Jonze combining puppetry and amazing cinematography. I can't wait to see it on the IMAX screen! The film stars Max Records as Max and Catherine Keener as his mother, with Lauren Ambrose, Chris Cooper, James Gandolfini, Catherine O'Hara, Paul Dano, and Forest Whitaker providing the voices of some of the Wild Things. The film opens nationwide this Friday, October 16.
Now if they would only make "REALLY ROSIE" into a feature length film starring Ellen Page!
