March
I saw the trailer a while ago, but now that it seems to be in theaters, I decided that it was time for a post.
Trailer
Salon.com review
June 24, 2005 | Luc Jacquet's luminous, moving documentary "March of the Penguins" is enough to make you hope there's no such thing as reincarnation: Human beings have it hard enough, but the life of the emperor penguin, one of strife, deprivation and against-all-odds adaptability in one of the most unforgiving corners of the earth, is far rougher.
I gotta say the trailer looks amazing. Normally I don't do nature documentaries, but this looks like a keeper folks. I spent about 1 hour today trying to find a place that was showing it, but no luck. I guess there are way too many high budget films that are demanding screens in order to be shown. How this reflects on us as a society that we would rather watch an over hyped 'mega-hit' or an arthouse type film speaks volumes. From the looks of things I might need to wait until I go back to bosto in order to see a screening of it :-( oh well goot things come to those who wait.
