Here's my review.

Pretty field. Nice flowers. "Cinematography" - clear picture, I would say it was edited in iMovie, but the lack of obligatory cheesy transitions makes me think iMovie was not the editing app.

Musically not as good as that 10 year old severely mentally challenged savant who was on 60 minutes last weekend, and the repetition made the video seem a lot longer than it was, but still it's a lot better than most 10 year-olds could do. The violinist did better keeping on pitch than either of the singers did, which for a 10 year old isn't an easy thing to do.

update: I just noticed they are 13, not 10. I am not as impressed.

sidenote: "Lynx" and "Lamb"? Who the hell names their kids Lynx and Lamb? OK, even assuming their parents might be a bit off kilter, and that the names are probably supposed to be a reference to Isaiah's prophecy about the end-times commonly MISQUOTED as "the lion will lie down with the lamb" (it's really " The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."), and I can see why no one would want to name their kids "wolf" and "lamb", or "leopard" and "kid" or "young lion" and "fatling", but still, naming your kids after a misquoted bible passage is like telling someone your favorite bible verse is "Cleanliness is next to Godliness". If you are going to be an extremist fundamentalist of ANY religion I think you should at least get the _fundamentals_ straight.

I wasn't aware that National Socialists believed in the bible.

I don't know if they believe in the Bible or not, but given the family's fondness for borrowing myths (e.g.Valhalla, Nazis) and their beliefs about a coming uber battle/war, I don't think it's much of a stretch to think they would name their children from a Bible verse associated with a prophecy about the end-times.

Of course I am open to other interpretations or hypotheses as to why parents would name their twin daughters lynx and lamb.

btw: I probably misspoke in referring to the family as extremist fundamentalists, I didn't see any reference to their religious beliefs or lack thereof. I kind of assumed from the kid;s names that they were some variant of "christian-in-name, but not what I would call Christian", but that's only a guess. It wasn't fair for me to label these nazi-wannabes as members of any religion without evidence. My apologies to any religious people who are upset that I didn't name them as part of your religion.
