The Golden Compass

So today I was lucky enough to get to see The Golden Compass. I've been looking forward to see this movie since Harry Potter and it was the one movie I truly wanted to see. I read all three books back in 8th grade (or around there) and fell in love with them with The Golden Compass being my favorite and I reread that one a couple times. I also did an 8th grade English project on it in which I cast the movie and wrote about how I'd do it. So I was really happy to see the movie made and couldn't wait to go see it. I haven't read the books since then so I was hoping that the little details and even big ones they changed wouldn't matter and I could truly appreciate the film for what it was.

Spoilers for The Golden Compass movie AND book. Don't say I didn't warn you. )

I definitely recommend reading the book before (preferred always) or after you see the movie. Which I do recommend just to see what you think of it. It's definitely the kind of movie to see in a theater.

I have lots more I have to write about including my new addiction to Project Runway (OMG SO MUCH LOVE) but I'm just not in the mood to do it right now. Le sigh.
