The Golden Compass

Last night I was dragged from my writing, hauled by my coat sleeve for a full half-mile, then pushed through the doors of the cinema.

“I can’t believe I haven’t seen it yet!” said my friend.

“It only opened yesterday,” I said.

“Exactly!” she said.

Luckily, from the very first scene, we both LOVED The Golden Compass.

This gorgeous, high-production-value film is one of the best I have seen this year. It's wonderful!

Mr. Pullman should be very, very pleased.
