Hey, guess what's being delivered on Saturday from Netflix!
1.The Golden Compass: Bonus Material (!!!!!!)
As a follow up to the movie Golden Compass, this package of "making of" films and galleries is rather astounding. The impressive scale of the props and costuming is worth seeing alone, plus there are massive galleries of concept art, character design notes, open casting footage for Lyra, footage of the metal workers and other artists actually making the artifacts, and a interactive explination of the meanings of the symbols on the golden compass.
2. Righteous Kill
Academy Award winners Robert De Niro and Al Pacino star in this taut thriller as a pair of New York City detectives tasked with investigating a rash of vigilante killings linked to a case years ago, suggesting they may have put an innocent man behind bars. John Leguizamo, Carla Gugino, Brian Dennehy, Donnie Wahlberg and rapper-turned-actor 50 Cent also star in this crime drama penned by Russel Gerwitz (Inside Man) and directed by Jon Avnet.
Take a STAB at who picked what.

Ahh Netflix. This IS our social life.
But I have a bone to pick with Netflix on one thing. Wait lists! Damn them! I have been waiting to see Wall E since it came out on DVD. What was that, 3 months ago? And despite my diligence to keep it on the top of our queue. It is constantly wavering between "very long wait" and "short wait".
Is there only 1 DVD to go around?
I feel like someone in the Greater Hartford area is trying to screw with me.
End rant.
That's really weird, cuz we just returned The Golden Compass to Netflix...the movie, not the bonus material, but still. My husband's choice, I'll admit; he dug it.
We just got the Mummy 3: Scorpion King. AND it was cracked. As in broken. Back it goes, and new one is coming.
Guess who's choice THAT was?
oh yes...i watched about four hours of Golden Compass documentaries on Saturday afternoon. I can completely understand why this film cost $300 million, and it makes me even sadder that they are apparently not making the rest of the trilogy, which I am re-reading for the fifth time.
