march of the penguins.

last night i went to see march of the penguins with my mom and dad.

first of all, how cool is the naro cinema? i hadn't been since we saw spellbound. for whatever reason, when you go to the naro, it feels like you're actually going to the movies-- it has a stage in front of the screen and a curtain. they showed a daffy duck cartoon before the movie. it reminds me of when we used to go to the 99 cent second-run movie theatre.

i don't know why i go see these nature movies! there are always dead baby animals and it always upsets me. yes, i know it's part of nature but last night i had to cover my eyes when i saw the leopard seal swimming around the penguins trying to feed.

in march of the penguins, though, i thought the filmmakers did a great job balancing the traumatizing parts with the endearing penguin chicks and other little funny moments. morgan freeman's narration was well-timed and, really, how can you beat narration by morgan freeman?

next up? mad hot ballroom, about kids who participate in ballroom dancing competitions.
