Puff-my-gosh there's so many, and so little time. I thought I could - nip it in the bud- as it were, in only one hub. But then I kept running into another film or a documentary that had the presence of the Herb, or about it entirely. Just last night I saw the Bill Maher's film Religulous. And low and behold, or rather high and behold he met with a preist of the THC Ministry, and naturly, Bill sparked-up. I would have liked him to talk to members of other religions instead of just the top four. Is there a part II coming up ?


 Religulous  2008

Politically provocative talk show host Bill Maher skewers the current state of organized religion in this hot-button documentary that derives its title from a blend of the words "religion" and "ridiculous." Making stops in Jerusalem, the Vatican and other holy destinations, Maher travels the world to talk to believers from a variety of faiths to find out why they're so sure their religion is right -- and why they're so certain others are wrong.

In the wake of a personal tragedy, Hollywood's psychiatrist to the stars (Kevin Spacey) devolves into a slovenly pothead and worries he's become incapable of helping his patients in this sharp indie drama that premiered at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival. The film also stars Saffron Burrows, Robin Williams, Jack Huston, Griffin Dunne, Gore Vidal, and Mark Webber as the shrink's diverse brood of showbiz clientele.

Half Baked  -1998  

Three ganja-smoking dimwits hatch a plot to raise bail money for their jailed friend by selling dope on the street.

Totally Baked -2007

Following in the tradition of such cult classics as Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke, Half Baked and Friday, this offbeat comedy satirizes the controversy and politics surrounding marijuana use and pot culture. Through hilarious sketches, sidesplitting stand-up routines, roundtable discussions and revealing interviews, director Lee Abbott's one-of-a-kind "Pot-U-Mentary" dares to ask the question, should the weed be freed?

Thelma & Louise -1991

Waitress Louise Sawyer (Susan Sarandon) and naive housewife Thelma Dickinson (Geena Davis) take off for a simple weekend free of men … and become outlaws blazing a cathartic trail across America. This Special Edition video includes audio commentary with director Ridley Scott, writer Callie Khouri and the two stars; four documentaries; deleted scenes; an alternate ending with director's commentary -- and much more! This is Brad Pitt's first film, and no he doesn't fire one up in the film, per say, a dread headed biker does. And where he blows the smoke would make any stoner screem, "all-right!"  The ending still chokes me up.
