Cool It -- complete with its own slide show and witty graphics -- amounts to a devastating rebuttal to Gore-ism. Read full review

By bringing in a diverse group of big thinkers to take part in a very animated, sometimes agitated, discussion, the filmmaker has succeeded in bringing what could have been a very dry mountain of data, theories and experimental research to vibrant life. Read full review

Jam-packed but never disorienting, Cool It will definitely get your head spinning. Read full review
