Movie of the Week: The Secret of Kells.

I saw The Secret of Kells a couple of weeks ago, over at my mom’s. She absolutely insisted that it was worth my time, and it was; my only quibble is that the message of ‘the only way to deal with a Viking horde is to run away’ would come as a bit of a surprise to, say, Brian Boru*.

And so, farewell to Trainspotting. Which was a very good, yet very messed up, film.

*Unless, of course, you believe the scurrilous arguments to the contrary – ones made no doubt a vicious cabal of English and Scandinavian spalpeens jealous of Boru and his way of killing any random screaming Viking that himself happened to see hove into view – but I’m sure that none of you would be along of shaming yourself by repeating such obvious lies.

  3. Yeah, Catseye, but Brian and eldest son Murchad were both killed there, ushering in a whole new period of instability for Ireland…
    .
    In other words, the situation reverted to the normal state…

  4. The artwork was very nice in this movie. It was my favorite non-Miyazaki animated film in quite a while. It’s almost on a level with “Howl’s Moving Castle” and “Spirited Away” maybe a little better than “Ponyo”.
