|
|
|
|
||
| FEATURING:
Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Zach Mills, Madalena Brancatella, Paula Boudreau |
||
| Molly Mahoney is the awkward and insecure manager of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, the strangest, most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world.

This isn't quite the
over-the-top fantasy you'd like it to be, but it's a charming enough little
movie, and probably the younger you are, the more charming. Helm gets huge bonus
points for noticing everything that's annoying about modern children's
films and including none of those things in his movie. As gentle and sweet
as it may be, this movie's a treat, but not a treasure. |

THE GOLDEN COMPASS | |
| FEATURING:
Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Dakota Blue Richards, Ben Walker, Freddie Highmore, Ian McKellen |
||
| 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 (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. | ||
| Genre:
Fantasy / Adventure / Drama Director: Chris Weitz Producers: Bill Carraro, Deborah Forte Runtime: 113 Minutes Rating: PG-13 Versions: Theatrical / Edited |
||
|
The blend of live
action, CG and visual effects is superb, making what must have been a
technological nightmare look easy as pie. A darker, deeper fantasy
epic than the Rings trilogy, The Chronicles of Narnia or the Potter films.
It springs from the same world of quasi-philosophical magic, but creates
more complex villains and poses more intriguing questions. [An] ultimately satisfying
and successful version of the opening volume of the celebrated His Dark
Materials trilogy |
