The Golden Compass

As a movie fan I've been interested to read some articles about The Golden Compass which opens in theaters December 7th. My family saw an impressive trailer for the film last week when we went to see Enchanted together (which we enjoyed very much, by the way).

The Golden Compass is adapted from a novel by proudly-self-proclaimed-atheist British author Philip Pullman, and it has generated quite a bit of controversy. It certainly isn't my place to tell you what movies to see and what to avoid, but I thought it might be helpful for you to go in with your eyes open if you're considering buying some tickets. So, here are a couple links for your information:

The Chronicles of Atheism - from Christianity Today Magazine, December 2007

The Golden Compass - from Snopes.com, a site that verifies/debunks all the valuable information and urban legends that get forwarded in emails.
