If you’ve never picked up a copy of the “Vice guide to….” in the sleaze section of your local bookstore you are denying yourself a very great pleasure. Established in Montreal in 1994, Vice is both a free magazine and a media conglomerate with offices currently in New York City. Focused on indie and youth culture initially, the Vice folks have branched out into strange and controversial topics. They take an ironic approach to culture with no concerns about morality or ethics. Hence their stuff is often hit or miss, but never dull, never uninteresting.

Being a connoisseur of sleaze myself, I was overjoyed to discover that Vice has their own internet TV/Film site VBS.TV. One of their first releases was a very cool documentary called “Heavy Metal in Bagdad” which follows the members of a metal band there. Very, very cool. Now, from an article on Twitch.com, I see Vice has to released their very own “Vice Guide to Film” series and are featuring a 3 part series on Mexican Narco Cinema. This engaging documentary is full of strange, dirty fun. I’ve always loved Mexican Cinema (especially the horror films of the 50′s and 60′s), but I don’t know much about Narco Cinema. That is until now. Check out the first episode in the series. Thank you, Vice!
