THE GOLDEN COMPASS NOW AVAILABLE

THE GOLDEN COMPASS NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE

HERE IS THE SUMMARY FOR THE MOVIE THE GOLDEN COMPASS FROM IMDB

It was no ordinary life for a young girl: living among scholars in the hallowed halls of Jordan College and tearing unsupervised through Oxford's motley streets on mad quests for adventure. But Lyra's greatest adventure would begin closer to home, the day she heard hushed talk of an extraordinary particle. Microscopic in size, the magical dust- found only in the vast Artic expanse of the North -was rumored to possess profound properties that could unite whole universes. But there were those who feared the particle and would stop at nothing to destroy it. Catapulted into the heart of a terrible struggle, Lyra was forced to seek aid from clans, gyptians, and formidable armored bears. And as she journeyed into unbelievable danger, she had not the faintest clue that she alone was destined to win, or to lose, this more-than-mortal battle... Written by Krista

Adaptation of the Carnegie Medal-winning novel by Pullman, the first volume in the His Dark Materials trilogy. In a parallel Oxford, young Lyra Belacqua begins a dimension-crossing odyssey that builds from a merely atypical children's adventure into a complex (and frequently quite dark) philosophical epic. Written by Tom Aylward-Nally

Lyra Belaqua, living in Oxford's Jordan College, is not but a young girl living among scholars. Her world may seem diverse, from physical embodiments of souls that take the shape of an animal, but similar with people around you to become friends and enemies. She is thrown into a perilous adventure when she overhears a conversation of an extraordinary microscopic particle, Dust. This particle is said to unite different worlds, and is feared by many who want to destroy it forever. As Lyra is flung into the middle of this horrible struggle, she meets wondrous creatures both big and small, and villains who are not what they seem. Gobblers, that kidnap children, will turn out in the most unexpected places. And a magical compass of gold that will answer any question if one is skilled enough to read it. Lyra's adventure continues throughout these three books, and the first is about to be told. Written by Reaz

HERE IS A REVIEW FOR THE MOVIE THE GOLDEN COMPASS FROM DVDTALK

"Golden Compass" is one of those outrageously expansive fantasy tales with enough characters to fill three movies and a perplexing vocabulary that stacks up in a hurry, leaving the bewildered viewer gasping for air. That's not to say this is a bad film, but it's a tough nut to crack. As fantasy epic book-to-screen adaptations go, this has the most intimidating thickness to date.

Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards) is a precocious 11 year-old roaming the collegiate home of her uncle, Lord Asriel (Daniel Craig), with her animal other half (known as Daemons), Pantalaimon, at her side. Gifted a truth-revealing compass device called an Alethiometer, Lyra finds herself in severe jeopardy when the wicked Mrs. Coulter (Nicole Kidman) shows up to claim the girl and the compass for the benefit of the vile Gobblers. Meeting up with loyal Gyptians, cowboys (Sam Elliot), witches (Eva Green), and earning the life debt of a bruiser Ice Bear (a polar bear crossed with a punch in the face) named Lorek Byrnison (robustly voiced by Ian McKellen), Lyra heads to the arctic to save a group of children undergoing experiments performed by the Gobblers and find the secret of a mysterious luminescent substance called Dust.

Phew. If any of the above synopsis made sense, congratulations! You're already halfway to understanding the riches "Compass" offers. Adapted from the Philip Pullman trilogy of novels, "Compass" is setting out to be the next "Lord of the Rings" franchise dynamo, complete with sophisticated special effects, a sparkling cast, and labyrinthine source material that is begging to roll out over three movies. So much so, "Compass" actually fails to contain an ending.

I'm new to Pullman's vast imagination, which leaves me at quite a loss over how to interpret writer/director Chris Weitz's compacted adaptation. Weitz is not the first director that comes to mind when dreaming up the possibilities of a fantasy free-for-all; clearly the people financing the film could make the artistic credibility leap from "American Pie" to "Compass" that I couldn't. Actually, Weitz does an admirable job stapling down a coherent narrative, keeping his camerawork clean and always goading a sense of awe into the forefront. He seems fearful of pushing his luck with the script, so the ambition of the picture is limited to character introductions, not stylish widescreen wizardry.

If the sheer amount of story doesn't feel heavy enough, "Compass" spends almost every scene explaining itself, as if stuck in permo-exposition mode. It's exhausting trying to keep up with everything onscreen (the Dust subplot is left painfully unexplained), but the basics are covered, even if they discharge from characters who spend more time spitting out plot points with puckered pusses than engaging in bewitching verbal warfare.

HERE IS A REVIEW OF THE MOVIE I KNOW WHO KILLED ME FROM DVDTALK

When some mystery thrillers reveal their secrets at the end, you say, "Aaaahh," in a mix of surprise and satisfaction. When "I Know Who Killed Me" unveils everything, you say, "What? Are you serious? That's stupid." I have to assume that this was not the filmmakers' intention. Lurid, over-sexualized, and boring when it's not being actively unpleasant, "I Know Who Killed Me" stars Lindsay Lohan as Aubrey Fleming, a talented high school senior with a football player boyfriend (Brian Geraghty) and a scholarship to Yale. She writes fiction and plays the piano, both allegedly with great skill, though the examples we're shown aren't very impressive.
