"Vatican criticises anti-Christmas film "Golden Compass."
Advertisements [?]
VATICAN CITY (AFP) - The Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano has criticised the children's film "The Golden Compass" starring Nicole Kidman, calling it "anti-Christmas."

Co-starring British actor Daniel Craig, the film is a "fantasy saga with 1960s sauce," the paper said in its Tuesday evening edition.

"The fact that the film earned only 25 million dollars in box office on the first weekend is a consolation," L'Osservatore Romano said.

Hey, I'm going to go see it Christmas Day.

How "anti-Christmas" can it be?

It only made 25 Mil its first weekend. Hardly a great showing. I wonder why. The protests usually help a movie. So what gives?
