"8 BELOW"
We watched a movie last night on cable TV and I was on the edge of my seat for the entire length of the film. I highly reccomend it to any of you who like beautiful cinematography and tales of survival against all odds.
"8 BELOW" is the story of a team of Siberian Huskies who survive for months after being abandoned at the South Pole due to unfortunate circumstances. These dogs are amazing.
This is a Disney family movie that is way above average.

"Plot Summary for
Eight Below (2006)
In the Antarctic, after an expedition with Dr. Davis McClaren (Bruce Greenwood), the sled dog trainer Jerry Shepherd (Paul Walker) has to leave the polar base with his colleagues due to the proximity of a heavy snow storm. He ties his dogs to be rescued after, but the mission is called-off and the dogs are left alone at their own fortune. For six months, Jerry tries to find a sponsor for a rescue mission while his dogs fight for survival."
Of course if you are in a part of the country where you have been blessed with 6 feet of snow you may want to wait until summer to watch this movie..:)

Sounds appealing. No snow in my part of the world at the moment. I'll look it up. Thanks
Is it a sad movie? Someone told me it was - and I chose not to watch it - but if you say it is good, maybe I should see it.
Kenju I didn't think the movie was sad. A few down moments but otherwise uplifting with the devotion of the guide who loved his dogs and the sheer grit and determination of the dogs themselves to make it.
I have heard only good things about this movie.. but I am such a sap when it comes to dog movies.. I am afraid that if I watch it, I will end up crying through most of it.
