Legend of the Viking Cross


Length: 94 Minutes

I've seen this one.

Is it loyal to the book? Haven't read the book. Christmas present anyone? lol

Best character: Awasis, I loved him in the first film and I still love him. If he isn't a well-rounded character than I don't know who is.

But is it art? So not only does this one have the made-for-TV vibe but it also has the sequel vibe, and as both o those things go, it isn't bad. I prefer the first, but this is still a good option for movie night at my place.

Major Flaws: Seriously, do archeologists often become obsessed to the point of craziness? It seems to be a theme.

Karol: A Man Who Became Pope


Length: 240 Minutes

I've seen this one.

Is it loyal to the book? No book.

Best character: Karol

But is it art? A touching biopic for sure. I like that it goes more into his life in Poland than some other films.

Major Flaws: I haven't seen it in a while, but nothing springs to mind.

Celtic Woman: A New Journey



Length: 80 Minutes

I've seen this one.

Is it loyal to the book? No book, this is a concert.

Best character: Girl with the violin.

But is it art? Yup, music is an art.

Major Flaws: I suppose it is possible you don't go for this kind of music...

Blinky Bill The Complete Series



Length: 22 Minute Episodes... or as my dad would say, "Too long."

I've seen this one.

Is it loyal to the book? No. Maybe the first episode... no, probably not.

Best character: I guess Blinky Bill, although my dad is of the opinion that his voice could cut through reinforced steel doors...

But is it art? I haven't got much to compare it with, being relatively unfamiliar with Australian animation, but it is quite cartoonish by my usual standards.

Major Flaws: I don't like that I have three discs worth of Blinky Bill and only get the theme song ONE TIME. C'mon Australia, the theme song is the only thing that brought me back to Blinky Bill.
