I’m home sick today and Netflixing out the wazoo.  Fortunately for me, there was a little gem under “Movies You’ll Love,”  called The Secret of Kells.  Visually, it’s one of the greatest movies I’ve seen in a long time–every frame a work of art similar to the illuminated manuscript the film is based upon.  The music’s good too, and even when the Vikings descend upon the monastery, the visuals are incredibly striking.
