more like Golden Compass.

Recipe:
1. Get ALL the actors from Lord of the Rings and James Bond to be in your movie.
2. Take all the “epic” lines and soliloquys from movies like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter, and give them to actors and actresses that have no idea how to say them so they actually mean them.
3. Have all those actors and actresses be in a closeup so that you can’t see body language, and can only make out their flat, uninspired, facial expressions.
4. Repeat.

some things about the whole atheist bent on the movie:
a. Screenwriters and Directors: look up the word subtelty in the thesaurus. You’ll notice the golden compass is listed as an antonym. I was honestly expecting it to be a little more covert, or at least insidious. Nope. Screenwriters meeting: Got the anti christian ideas? Check! Got the sledgehammer? Check! Got the lack of talent to anything other than hit people over the head with our beliefs? Check! Let’s get to it then!

b. For a movie from a book that was supposedly the atheist’s answer to the Chronicles of Narnia, there sure were a lot of previews about the upcoming narnia film and others from the company that made them. I find this hilarious.

Pullman should be disappointed with this film. It didn’t drive people away from god at all…in fact, I was praying through the entire thing that it’d be over.
