Penguin Sex Without Burgess Meredith
It was beautiful. And facinating. And cute.
But I dozed off during it two or three times, one of which I convinced myself I started storing and nearly left the theatre. I think it was all the brightness from the snow and the repetition of the action. I mean, it had kinky sex, but where were the explosions? (I keed.)
It certainly was a stunning film, even if all the best and most artistic shots of the 110min film were already shown in the trailer. I also could have done without Morgan Freeman's voiceover, both his voice (which, frankily, I'm growing very tired of) and the cheesy script. But, hey, it was probably better than The Island. Did I like March? I will say that I appreciated it.
Overall, March of the Penguins is what it is. And what it is it is a movie about penguins. Only penguins. And a scary seal. Just be aware of the before you plunk down your cash-money (I was) -- and be sure to bring something to keep you awake and warm.
What, no love for the huge pelican/vulture/hawk thingee?But yes, for all the cute penguins, it was definitely a little snooze-worthy. All that marching back and forth. I bet the gay penguins just stay behind, spending their winters bathing in the balmy (!) Arctic waters.

I'm a bird-lover (but there is no inter-speicies stuff going on here), so I really like the film. The most shocking thing for me was the amount of people that went to see the movie. The very large theater was almost filled to capacity. PS. ...And Yes. When the big "pelican/vulture/hawk thingee" terror bird flew in and started taste testing little penguinets, I did resist the urge to yell at the parent penguins "Don't just stand there! Do Something!!! It's eating your children!!!".

Is it lame that it took me about 5 minutes to figure out how to leave a comment? This is why I can't use Blogger! I am Blogger-Incompatible (yes it's hyphenated).Anyway, per your request, here is your comment...one of many to follow I am sure. While I have yet to see March of the Penguins, I can tell it is not for me. I'd probably love it but the idea of little cute animals being eaten by seals and birds of prey? Hmm, I think I'll pass.

Burgess Meredith was the Penguin on the old Batman show. You are so funny! (sarcasm)
