Penguins Marching

March of the Penguins Poster

We went to see March of the Penguins today, and it rocked. The first thing I heard about it a few weeks ago (besides it being good) was the fact that it was grossing a lot more than anything else on a per-screen basis than anything out there, even though it was only out in a handful of theatres:

Around Hollywood, they’re calling it the “Penguin Movie.” And although it doesn’t offer any challenges to Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise in the leading man department, the film nabbed at least one box-office bragging right this weekend: On a per-screen basis, ticket sales for “March of the Penguins” were far more than for any other movie, $26,269, compared with $19,719 for the overall box-office champ, “War of the Worlds.”

After seeing it, I know why. The cinemetography is amazing. The story is epic. The writing iis great, and Morgan Freeman does a great job narrating. We were in a smaller theatre, but if it wasn’t completely sold out there couldn’t have been more than a few empty seats.

Needless to say, I highly recommend it as long as you can handle something that’s not full of special effects and bad acting.

    This page appears to recieve a good ammount of visitors. How do you get traffic to it? It gives a nice individual twist on things. I guess having something useful or substantial to post about is the most important thing.

    This is a really good read for me, Must admit that you are one of the best bloggers I ever saw.Thanks for posting this informative article. While we must assume her heart was in the right place, the strategy was fairly ineffectual, garnering more snickers than adherents among the target group.

    You gave nice ideas here. I done a research on the issue and learnt most peoples will agree with your blog. Photos and blogs are digital, but a baby book is something you can still hold in your hands.

    The following advice comes from my heart and my personal experience. Actually, family lawyers have been trained to deal with sensitive issues and are able to give you an unbiased opinion about the solution to the problem.

    Why did the last person move on. wait for answer Is this a trend over the recent few years. This puts the ball in your court, shows you are confident and gives you important information about the position you are considering stepping into. Don’t be too honest. Of course the point of a second interview is usually to further explore what qualities you bring to the table and how you can benefit a company and it’s important that you’re honest and professional in your answers to their questions.
