Viewing Notes

This morning as I attempted to sleep I picked off The Secret of Kells (2009) from NWI. Had heard great things about this flick when had its limited release earlier in the year. Unfortunately the animation is really the only shining star here. The story is a bit weak. A wooded village controlled by monks builds a wall to prevent the inevitable onslaught of warriors. Yeah, see it for the animation.
