Click here for trailer

Based on author Philip Pullman's bestselling and award-winning novel, "The Golden Compass" tells the first story in Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy. "The Golden Compass" is an exciting fantasy adventure, set in an alternative world where people's souls manifest themselves as animals, talking bears fight wars, and Gyptians and witches co-exist. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by newcomer Dakota Blue Richards), a 12-year-old girl who starts out trying to rescue a friend who's been kidnapped by a mysterious organization known as the Gobblers - and winds up on an epic quest to save not only her world, but ours as well. "The Golden Compass" stars an ensemble cast that includes Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Sam Elliott, and Ian McShane.

Reviews

Latest Review Additions:
  
Juno (in Film)
The upshot is a terminally-clever comedy that’s laced with lots of inspired sardonic humor but can’t quite convince you to take its slowly thickening plot seriously

 

American GangsterPirates of the Caribbean At World's End DVD (in Film)

Best thought of as a Johnny Depp vehicle to be savored as a mindless, mildly scary escape.

American GangsterThe Diving Bell And The Butterfly (in Film)

The magnificence of this film is in its storytelling; narrative and metaphorical, visceral and poetic, in the specificity and trauma of one man's life.

American GangsterSuperbad DVD (in Film)

You will be richly rewarded by this testosterone-fueled fantasy which is easily the funniest movie of 2007.

American GangsterThe Savages (in Film)

You couldn’t ask for a better pair of leads to execute the character-driven script than Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman. And they never disappoint, disappearing into roles which fit like gloves.

American GangsterMargot at the Wedding (in Film)

Baumbach’s storytelling about this dysfunctional family is hardly satisfying or comical.

American GangsterNo Country for Old Men (in Film)

What makes the film memorable is the trio of powerful performances turned in by its three principals.

American GangsterWaitress DVD (in Film)

Waitress is a warts-and-all tale of female empowerment featuring adult-oriented humor as sophisticated as the mature themes it tackles.

American GangsterAugust Rush(in Film)

All in all, a fanciful fairytale blending elements of Oliver Twist, Ferris Bueller, Peter Pan and The School of Rock likely to entertain

American GangsterThis Christmas(in Film)

While formula is still the same, it’s quite amusing, romantic, and a delightful holiday treat for a family to enjoy.

American Hustle(in Film)

This pimpalicious DVD is likely to resonate with Katt’s loyal fans, those unshockable and very open-minded “real [N-words]” in his desired demographic.

Love in the Time of Cholera (in Film)

This sorry interpretation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ novel has merely reduced his masterpiece into a titillating, superficial soap opera.

Redacted (in Film)

This unfortunate outing is destined to leave an embarrassing blemish on what has generally been a stellar body of work

What Would Jesus Buy? (in Film)

A film as hilarious as it is thought-provoking, thus apt to keep you in stitches as you contemplate spiritual alternatives to material satisfaction.

Somebody Help Me(in Film)

Omarion Heads Ensemble Cast in High Attrition-Rate Horror Flick

Ocean's Thirteen DVD (in Film)

You’re likely to enjoy this downright comfortable diversion that doesn’t ask much except that you turn off your brain, sit back and relax.
