Philip Pullman’s novel The Northern Lights has been brought to life on the blue screen and I loved every minute of it. Even the pathetic guy that works in the cinema at Be’er Sheva’s Canyon complex didn’t make me feel that bad. (I still wanted to break his neck know!)I had a blues moment there. For he told me not to put my foot on the seat! My foot hardly touched the seat in front!

Back to the film, which had a cast of top notch actors and actresses, can anything go wrong? But nothing went wrong. All played excellent roles, Nicole Kidman was playing a mean character again and played it superbly. The animation, effects where of high quality. The blue screen didn’t bring down the acting at all. I was drawn in to this lovely film and it gave me a sense of power.

If you didn’t know, the world as you know it, the realm created by Pullman each person has a pet daemon, an extension of the soul. To which him or her can talk too, converse and learn from each other. This design is in danger of an element called dust and is the subject of how to save this existence from a possible evolution.

This is a story of a mans imagination and we are free to imagine and see what we wish. I enjoyed it and appreciate it. But for the life of me I can’t understand why American Christian groups were trying to boycott the film. Do you want to burn a creation? I don’t think they have a right to do that and I think they should go back to wasting their time praying too that which you can’t control.

So a beautiful well crafted film, crazy battle scenes a story which does make sense no matter what some might say. A cast of excellent quality and acting that supports them. I am giving this one five stars.

The best thing about the whole film would have to be the background music. I really did love the songs, it added a bit of dimension. But in truth, there was very little dimension in this film and the acting was rather static by all. The best had to be Olga Kurylenko hands down. The lead Timothy Olyphant seemed too be simulating the hitman, but the character hitman was rather dull!!

I thought the stage would of been rather grand, but it didn’t feel that way on screen. There didn’t seem to be much depth and the background story was left with many questions. I am assuming this is only for those that have played the game? Even the action doesn’t seem that impressive to me and I wonder why did they bother making this film. It was a waste of my few quid, but there was some entertainment value here. That’s basicly listening to the background music.

O well, I look forward to the next Batman film, I am sure I will enjoy that more.

1.5 out of 5.

It seems like and feels like I am nearing the end of the ulpan with the current events. Yesterday was Ricardo’s last working day and he joined us in the Noy (Garden scalping). Ricardo is from Mexico and is going back there on Sunday so he wanted me to take some pictures of his last day at work on the kibbutz.  >>

The Party

We also threw a bonfire party for him and another girl called Alex, she is very nice also. But I really didn’t get to know her that much. She is from New York and I not sure what she is doing next. But I got them both cards and wished them the best of luck.

Alex is the one on the left with the dark hair, with Roxanne followed by Rebecca. They are all very nice. We all had a party after the dinner with lots of firewood, I danced for a bit until Ivan the Destroyer decided to punch poor Max and then I decided to goto bed. Ivan is one crazy mofo when drunk.
