The Golden Compass

Haven't watched a movie in a long long while. Went to see The Golden Compass this afternoon. I read the books already. The Golden Compass is the first book of a trilogy about this girl Lyra's adventure. Like the usual, the book is way better than the movie. But to be fair, it is almost impossible to condense a rich story into a 113 min-long movie. Dakota Blue Richards is perfect for the role of Lyra and so is Nichole Kidman for Mrs. Coulter. Towards the end of the movie, I can see the beauty and the maturity of Dakota Blue beyond her age. Go see the movie... but make sure you read the books too!

I hope I can finish the books in time before going to the theater and watch it. :)

you'll finish the book in no time. Coz you won't be able to put it down.
