 Opteka OPT-SC37FE Platinum Series 0.3X HD Ultra Fisheye Lens for 25mm, 30mm, 30.5mm & 37mm Digital Video Camcorders $299.95 I was put on to this product by a friend of mine that owns the Century Optics Baby Death Lense. This one is almost identical and for only 1/3 of the price...It's easy to install & take out and it has a better fisheye than the old lense I used (Opteka .43X HD). I recommend this to anyone looking for great fiseye effect on their videos.

The Golden Compass (New Line Platinum Series Two-Disc Widescreen Edition) $34.99 Before I start this review, I would like to comment on the "religious" factors of this film. I am a Catholic and loved this! There was nothing atheist about it. The way I viewed the Magisterium was a Communist government. Even if it was a jab at the church, it was probably referencing back to old times when the people of the church did want to control everything (Uber-Christians should really learn their history). And, judging by how some people reacted to these "atheist" tones, they must be working for the Magisterium, trying to say what's best for others when they should just mind their own business and let people decide for themselves. Now to the movie. Dakota Blue Richards is a very good actress and one of the very few child actors who aren't annoying. She seems undaunted for her first film and I really hope they film the next two installments as I would like to see her improve and hone her talent. Daniel Craig, Eva Green (reuniting from Casino Royale but have no scenes together), Sam Elliot and Nicole Kidman (can't believe I'm saying something good about her) are all excellent in their supporting roles. Though I will admit that Craig floats in and out of the picture like that Prudence character from Across the Universe (though not as much as her, at least Craig's character is important to the plot) and Kidman's revelation that she is Richards' mother seems a little out of left field though Mrs. Coulter could be lying. Christopher Lee has very good billing in the end credits for having one line of dialog in a very small scene. I wish the explanation of dust had gone into a little more detail instead of the Magesterium just talking about it like its a drug or whatever. Action scenes are spectacular, especially the final battle in the north. Music is also very good and, if they ever film the next two, I certainly hope they use the same composer. A fine film that I hope to be the next successful book-to-film translation like Lord of the Rings/Harry Potter/James Bond.  12V, 3 Outlet Platinum Series Fused Cigarette Lighter Adapter w/90 Swivel $14.99 The plug easily slips out from the cigarette lighter socket.
