		Rev. Ron reviews "21 & Over" I'm not entirely sure who the audience was for this college party film but I clearly wasn't it. Maybe if you're a fan of predictable, brash, racist, homophobic, sexist and all-around douchy humor, then this might be your film. If you watched the completely unlikeable characters be gigantic dicks ... Posted by Rev.Ron_MovieReviews at 6:42 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Movies & TV

		A Tall Order Tuesday June 11th, 2013 – Milwaukee, WI    I got a call from my friend Dennis DeBondt a few days ago asking if I felt like riding along to a show he had in Milwaukee this afternoon. Dennis is a talented comedy magician, and I happened to have today free so I said yes for a numb... Posted by ItsMrLucky at 11:57 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Arts & Entertainment

		Heidi Ho Monday June 10th, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL    Once, maybe twice a year - if that - I’ll get an especially dark, nasty, venom soaked email from out of the blue. It usually has misspellings of easy words and embarrassingly poor grammar, and without exception gets sent under a ma... Posted by ItsMrLucky at 6:37 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Arts & Entertainment

		Rev. Ron reviews "Jack the Giant Slayer" We all know the story of Jack, those magic beans, a beanstalk and a giant. Hell, I'm pretty sure I once lived it after I got some magic beans from a crazy old man and, after they fell into the ground, I found myself on a journey into the clouds to do battle with a giant who clearly had a problem ...

		Black Friday goes back to being Just Another Friday The Faux American shopping holiday known as “Black Friday” will only exist as a memory of a time “gone by” in 2030 as old-timers reminisce about how people were lured out of the warm comfort of the after-Thanksgiving meal to camp out on the hard, cold concrete outside the ...

		A Human Armadillo Sunday June 9th, 2013 – Fox Lake, IL    Back up on life’s horse. I’ve been kicked off before, and will get it again. It’s not the end of the world to get blown out of that contest yesterday, but the way it happened was extra harsh. I drew a bad spot on a bad n...

		Rev. Ron reviews "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" If you read the title to this movie there's a good chance you are having one of either two reactions: The first possibility is that you rolled your eyes and sighed so loud in irritation and contempt that you simultaneously detached your retinas and asphyxiated yourself and are probably still pass...

		Shoot Me Now Saturday June 8th, 2013 – Rosemont, IL    Shoot me now. Please. Anyone who has a few spare bullets lying around, could you please go find your gun and pump a few rounds in the back of my head while I’m sleeping? Sell whatever organs you can on Ebay, and keep the money. I&... Posted by ItsMrLucky at 3:34 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Arts & Entertainment

		Comedy Competition Friday June 7th, 2013 – Rosemont, IL    If the universe isn’t going to give me a break, I have to go out and make my own. I don’t know why life has gotten to be so difficult right now, but it is. I need to rustle up some work, and that’s one of many cold reali...

		Rev. Ron reviews "Oz: The Great and Powerful" Like many people in this world (read that as ALL people), MGM's 1939 The Wizard of Oz has been a staple of my life. Even now, as an adult with all those lame bills I have to pay, I still find that throwing on Dorothy's adventure to the magical land of Oz is capable of returning me to a simpler, n...
