I&#8217;m unlikely to change my mind about this issue unless and until good evidence &#8212; well conducted double blind testing, a reasonably sized group, replicated &#8212; emerges.

This is an interesting movie. Not a great one, but interesting and well worth watching at least once. In a way it&#8217;s a little like watching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0104815\/\"><em>El Mariachi<\/em><\/a>: noticing how this movie was made with little more than pocket money, yet still manages to be quite effective. No box, but the same as a bought one. To go to the first to ask for it in comments.
