Rorschach Reviews
Like most art forms, a Rorschach personality test shows us something abstract and allows us to determine our own interpretation of what it is and what it means to us. This blog is my attempt to explain what I see when I look at these metaphorical movie ink blots, and I hope that along the way I can learn what you see from time to time as well.

Olympus Has Fallen Review: Welcome Back, Mr. Butler
Between Olympus Has Fallen, The Last Stand, and GI Joe: Retaliation, 2013 seems to be the year Hollywood tries to prove that it’s not a godless hive of unpatriotic liberals by taking up the age-old chant; America (F*ck Yeah!). Whether or not you’re … Continue reading

Dead Man Down Review: The Girl Who Messed Up Colin’s Revenge
