I've been receiving and passing along much information about the soon-to-be released movie
The Golden Compass, starring Nicole Kidman. This appears to be yet another instance of how false teaching and secular values can seep into the lives of unsuspecting parents and their children via movies and books. Although I stop short of telling anyone what to see or not see, I do believe that most parents fail to adequately research and critique their children's entertainment choices, relying instead on movie trailers, mainstream media reviews and word of mouth.
I for one am tired of settling for mediocrity and lesser evils, and I believe it is my responsibility as a mother to seek excellence for my children (and myself). Nowhere is this more difficult than in the entertainment arena (and politics!). I am well aware of the time and commitment involved in scrutinizing every TV show or movie release that comes along, but thankfully the internet has made this job doable, even for the busiest among us.
In the case at hand, here are some online articles regarding "The Golden Compass":
