March of the Penguins


I went to see March of the Penguins last night. It was very good, but perhaps I wasn’t knocked out by it like most of America has been ($77 million at the box office). The cinematography was excellent and it was a fascinating story, that of the penguins, but it was more sad than anything else for me.

The fragility of the penguins existence and the trauma the things suffer at the loss of their young made it more uncomfortable for me than life affirming. That’s not to say it wasn’t a very well made documentary that’s well worth seeing.

Speaking of movies, I finally have my dozen movies of 2005 posted. However since I started it on 30th December it's got lost further down the page, scroll down or click here.
