Nuggets from the Nugget, 7/2-8

01 Jul Nuggets from the Nugget, 7/2-8

For the week of Friday, July 2 through Thursday, July 8 Telluride's Nugget Theatre is presenting two movies, "The Secret of Kells" and "Prince of Persia."

"The Secret of Kells" was nominated for an Oscar as Best Animated Feature. We have come to think of animation as a 3D concept, but properly done, flat drawings can engage at least as well as the "Transformer" variety. From the trailers, I would say that "Kells" does that. The art work is beautiful: Remember "The Man Who Planted Trees"? That movie was what I thought of when I watched the clips of "The Secret of Kells." The story is about a young Irish monk and a magical book, a hero's quest, and is rated PG.

Another hero's quest, a magical dagger, a rogue prince, a mysterious princess (always about to be kissed), the sands of time: "Prince of Persia" promises plently of action, a fair amount of violence, and is rated PG13. Your Gameboy playing 14 year old will probably love it.
