The Union: Business Behind Getting High – Music

BC’s illegal marijuana trade industry has evolved into a business giant, dubbed by some involved as ‘The Union’. Commanding upwards of $7 billion Canadian annually, The Union?s roots stretch far and wide. With up to 85% of ‘BC Bud’ being exported to the United States, the trade has become an international issue. Who are the players, and when do their motives become questionable?

Follow filmmaker Adam Scorgie as he demystifies the underground market and brings to light how an industry can function while remaining illegal. Through growers, police officers, criminologists, economists, doctors, politicians and pop culture icons, Scorgie examines the cause and effect nature of the business behind getting high.

Nobody’s innocent in this exploration of an industry that may be profiting more by being illegal

Think Apple is Secretive? Wait Until you learn about Netflix

So we recently subscribed to Netflix’s rental service, and I was wondering how it works, how they get there shipments out the door so fast, how they get such a big library.

In the tech world, we usually see Apple as the most secretive company around. But it turns out Netflix might be just as paranoid, and just as fascinating. This expose will make you see DVD-rental-by-mail in a totally new light. (more…)

500 Days of Summer

The best part of 500 Days of Summer is that it doesn’t attempt to be a fantastic movie, it doesn’t suck up to the viewers, and it doesn’t flaunt itself in front of viewers saying “look how insightful I am”.

RAAAAAAAANDY!!! (Part2) Funny People

Brüno review

Although Borat was “so 2006″, some may prefer it to this restyled and redone Sacha Baron Cohen mockumentary style comedy.

Does it do it’s job? Absolutely. Certain segments are absolutely hilarious, and will leave you laughing long enough to miss other jokes.

And that’s about it.

While Borat offered plenty of innocence, heart, and improvised candid comedy, Brüno sets out to just try and make you laugh. Occaisionally it becomes evident that they try too hard to make the audience laugh, and in those places it loses its comedy. The planned script absolutely murders the laugh factor of this movie, and it only gets back on track during its moments of candid comedy, and improvised trickery at the expense of others. Some people that Brüno encounters are paid actors, and when we realize that it loses its fun. (more…)
