Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)






Dr. Strangelove. You know, I've heard about this movie for a long time, but never got around to watching it. I just thought it would be some stuffy, old, boring movie made in the 60's. Man, was I wrong.

Inception (2010)



Chances are you've heard of Inception. If not, you've heard the countless internet references. I have a problem with these though, and this is time to be pedantic. People keep talking about something inside something. That's not Inception. Inception is the act of PLACING an idea within the dream. OK, rant over.

Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

First off, Rocky Horror Picture Show is in my top 3 movies of all time. Maybe that makes me weird, but the people who go to the midnight screenings dressed in fishnet stockings would beg to differ...actually, reading that last sentence makes me want to reconsider my last choice. Anyways, moving on. Now, this movie has been critically acclaimed and universally hated. What I mean by that is, you'll probably hear just as many people say they hate this movie as critics saying they love it. Personally, I think this might be just because of the content. You know, Tim Curry dressed in drag and in severe danger of his man beans spilling out. That content. But looking at that as awkward funny (of which I'm a big fan) makes it better. Seriously, look.

But now to the review.
