    The Secret of Kells

    Not sure if any of you have seen this, it's on Amazon Prime Instant Video. I didn't really realize it was about a religious book as the movie doesn't seem to be all that religious. It is an animated movie but the artwork is quite incredible! The kids have watched it a couple of times and it seems to be quite good, and worth a watch just for the artwork.

      I saw this a while ago and was quite impressed with the animation.

      The actual history of the Book of Kells is quite amazing itself. Arguably, it is the single greatest work of illumination the world has ever seen. The fact that it even survived over 1000 years until today is a miracle unto itself.

              My daughter and I watched this movie on BD last night and it was visually stunning. We have seen many of these 'Japanamation' style films in the past but never in BD format. This is animation done in the 'old school' way and it is truly wonderful.

              The story is top notch also if not maybe...

              SECRET WINDOW coulda been a contender
              by George Bellefontaine
              This film is based on Stephen King's novella Secret Window, Secret Garden. I don't know how closely the script follows the novella because I have never been that great a Stephen King fan. It stars Johnny Depp as a recently divorced writer and John Turtorro as a deranged stranger who claims Depp stole...
