HOW HIGH (2001)
Certification15 Our Rating
Two buddies smoke some "magic" weed and get themselves accepted at Harvard, which roles you into the old social/culture clash gigglethon. How High pretty much obligates you to be drifting high above your hubbly bubbly to squeeze out the laughs, think poor cousin of ‘Friday' and presuming you're well stocked this might just work. NB in 2002 the movie won the 'Stony Award' for the Best Stoner Movie!

HUMAN TRAFFIC (1998)
Certification18 Our Rating
Writer/director Justin Kerrigan's debut follows half a dozen Cardiff clubbers through one frenetic, drug-fuelled weekend. Unfettered by anything resembling a plot, the film concentrates instead on the motley assortment of characters, including love-hungry raver Jip, whose tackle, unfortunately, just isn't larging it lately. Much of the dialogue grates profoundly on the nerves, but the film really kicks off when it hits the dancefloor. Stylised and often self-concious, but very amusing in places.

MR NICE (2010)
Certification18 Our Rating
The life story of Howard Marks is not one that hides its light under a bushel. Since the original publication of his candid autobiography, it has been toured around the country by the man himself for the past decade. While the book read like an enjoyable, stoner Bond-adventure, this effort to translate it to the big screen comes across a little smug, and somewhat tired. Rhys Ifans sleepwalks through the role, and the direction is unimaginative and unevocative, despite the apparent efforts at aut
