Amazing how the mind is. From the opening CREDITS I went "Waaaaait a second.." and I knew instantly that Louise Branch, the director of this film, was the same person who gave us "Brandon", simply the worst piece of tripe (in a bad way) on this site. And, although this film does also have that annoying apparently royalty-free score, the meandering shots of nothing at all, and the knowitall narration (this time by a male!), this is a bit more informative and interesting this time out, and you get to learn some things, but not much!
