Kind of dry by M. Shepherd  3 Stars
June 01, 2009
There is some really interesting info in this film, if you can stay awake long enough to watch it. Somehow their delivery is about like reading a computer manual.
Get some extra strong black coffee and watch it. If you can stay awake long enough to watch it all, it will give you plenty of interesting things to think about later on.
