		Rev. Ron reviews "Superman: Unbound" I'm a big fan of Superman. I've been enjoying the escapades of the big Boy Scout in Red & Blue since I was just a wee widdle boy but there was a time when I felt he needed to be retired. Not long after the boy from Krypton was killed by Doomsday and returned, I started to feel like he ran hi... Posted by Rev.Ron_MovieReviews at 10:01 a.m. | Talkbacks Category: Movies & TV

		Rev. Ron reviews "Iron Man 3" Phase 2 of the Marvel cinematic universe has begun and we are now building towards The Avengers 2: Electric Boogaloo. Since Phase 1 started with Iron Man, there's no reason why Tony Stark shouldn't be the one to rocket boost this project into the stratosphere all over again. ...

		Rev. Ron reviews "13 Assassins." The samurai are cool; one cannot deny such a thing. I'm kinda a samurai myself-well, I own an umbrella that has a samurai sword handle and I totally thing that counts.13 Assassins is a 2010 remake of a 1963 black and white film of the same name. It is set in the 1840s and tells the tale of some s... Posted by Rev.Ron_MovieReviews at 5:18 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Movies & TV

		Rev. Ron reviews "The Guilt Trip." Ah, the road trip...a time where you're stuck in a car with a loved one or friend (or a bitter rival, if you are incredibly unfortunate) with hopes of laughs and a grand adventure but, by the time you hit your final mile and reach your destination, you're ready to murder each other in the most vi...

		Rev. Ron reviews "Silver Linings Playbook." It's safe to say that this was one of the big films of 2012. It was nominated for a bunch of awards (somewhere around 300 thousand [citation needed]) and Jennifer Lawrence even won best actress for it. Some publications even placed it on their "must see" lists and, more importantly, som... Posted by Rev.Ron_MovieReviews at 5:03 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Movies & TV

		Rev. Ron reviews "Broken City." Ah, the story of political corruption. Such a staple in the world of cinema (and the real world) that I think it would actually be quite shocking if we got a movie that featured a decent politician doing decent things with a clean record...but where's the fun in that? Broken City is about an ex-c... Posted by Rev.Ron_MovieReviews at 6:40 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Movies & TV

		Rev. Ron reviews "A Haunted House" The parody is a lost art form. While it still exists, it is no longer the witty rib on the subject material it was when films like The Naked Gun, Airplane and even the first Scary Movie came out. Instead, the parody has become a lazy attack of the subject material with its jokes being nothing muc... Posted by Rev.Ron_MovieReviews at 6:45 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Movies & TV

		Rev. Ron reviews "Promised Land." It's a movie about fracking...and not frakking as in the swear word from Battlestar Galactica (I really wish that was the case-so say we all!).Promised Land is about a natural gas company coming into a dying farming town with promises of riches if the townsfolk lease their land for the purposes o...

		Rev. Ron reviews "Gangster Squad" Anyone else felt the need to play L.A. Noire after watching this? Gangster Squad-despite sounding like a bad rap super group-is a film loosely based on the real life Gangster Squad of the late 40s. Tired of dealing with mobster Mickey Cohen's nonsense, Chief Bill Parker (Nick Nolte) tells Sgt.... Posted by Rev.Ron_MovieReviews at 4:39 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Movies & TV

		Rev. Ron reviews "The Impossible." The Impossible is here to rock you like a hurricane...and I can make that bad joke because the film is about the 2004 tsunami and by making a reference to the Scorpion's rock song it is not offensive because it literally makes no sense. The Impossible tells the true story of a family on vaca... Posted by Rev.Ron_MovieReviews at 5:08 p.m. | Talkbacks Category: Movies & TV
