This movie for grown-ups is an edge-of-your-seat thriller/suspense movie starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin.

There are real heart-stopping moments here, and a very good story. It is well-written, photography is great, acting is terrific. Who is that bear? The very well-trained Bart the Bear (now deceased) who has starred in many Hollywood movies through the years. For people who like to watch bears, this is the movie for you, but it is not for children due to really scary parts. Filmed in Alberta, Canada; a U.S.A. film, in English and color. Copyright 1997.

"MARCH OF THE PENGUINS"

At 1 1/2 hours, this is a beautiful program to watch. Like all good stories, it incorporates comedy, drama, and tragedy into the story-telling. "March of the Penguins" shows us a year in the life of emperor penguins. The storyline is the main focus here, not the taxonomy and history of penguins. And it is an incredible story, oddly enough, about things that are not unlike human experiences, such as love, endurance against all odds, and family devotion. Since we humans tend to relate well to those things that remind us of, well, us, this story hits close to home. In this case, a picture is worth a thousand words, and these pictures of penguin predicaments say it all. Non-Fiction. Most Unusual Photography: The delicate and difficult task of passing the egg from one parent to the other. Most Emotional Photography: The long walk (70 miles) back to get food after months with none. Theatrical release, Copyright 2005 - Color, English, subtitled in French and Spanish.

"WOLF - RETURN OF A LEGEND"

A wonderful program about the Sawtooth Pack, Wolves of the Nez Perce (gray wolves). After seeing this program, Kate Marshall Graphics, Inc. officially sponsored two of these wolves, early on, in Idaho: Amani (gray) and Motomo (black). Motomo has taken over leadership of the pack in recent times, and sweet Amani is still there also. Amani changed when he lost his brother, Matsi, in 2004, and was inconsolable for a long time, spending mornings howling sorrowfully. Check out the Wolf Education and Research Center at www.wolfcenter.org for lots of information and how you too can become involved with these beautiful animals. (The original five wolves of the Sawtooth Pack were: AMANI, MOTOMO, MATSI (these 3 were brothers), KAMOTS and LAKOTA. You can read about them also at the website.)
