Fear Not the Compass

My mother sent me this excellent review of the new fantasy movie The Golden Compass. The review is fair, balanced, cool-headed, and avoids the anxious modernism that so often infects Christian discourse. (When I say anxious modernism, I mean the anxiety that if we can't prove something, it is disproven, or that if we can't disprove something, it is proven. I believe it effectively makes us the arbitrers of reality. Lousy job!)

I hope to post my own review of the movie after I see it.

Thanks for this, I've been curious about this but probably won't read it myself, being a mostly non- fantasy kind of guy (except Harry Potter and James Bond, of course). Now I have somewhere to tell people to look.

Thanks for the link to the review. I'm looking forward to seeing the film, I've been meaning to read the books for a while.
