High Movie Review #14: Dr. Strangelove
All right, it’s about time to write about this movie. It’s one of my favorites of all time, I’ll just say that right out.

The colors, the whimsical nature of it, the weird fanciful story, it all adds to the weed/psychedelic drug culture. But that hippie/hipster/druggie thing didn’t really seem to be the mainstream until the second half ofContinue reading “High Movie Review #007: Alice in Wonderland”
