March of the penguins
On Sunday, I went to see March of the Penguins with all the Goldberg penguins up in Evanston, IL (the older penguin is attending journalism summer camp at Northwestern University). It was visually stunning and moving to all of us penguin lovers, but even those less attached to Aptenodytes forsteri should enjoy this flick. The movie chronicles the amazing and iterated 70-mile march of emperor penguins to mate, give birth, and feed their young in the harshest environment on the planet. Normally a natural documentary such as this would not be shown in mainstream movie theatres, but penguins are currently hot in Hollywood (e.g. Madagascar).
