Review of Killing Them Softly (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 07 Oct 2012

A grimy, well orchestrated, coiled-spring crime drama that morphs into a pessimistic disquisition on the systemic nature of corruption in unregulated…

Review of Butter (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 07 Oct 2012

A heartland-set train wreck of purported satire that is confusingly edited throughout, and full of false moments which betray a lack of rigorous…

Review of Smashed (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 02 Oct 2012

An unconvincing portrait of downward-spiral alcoholism that trades on surface-level melodrama before finally fumbling away any credibility…

Review of Pitch Perfect (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 26 Sep 2012

A well-groomed, funny and altogether special musical comedy, Pitch Perfect hits an abundance of right notes, resulting in one of the most full-bodied…

Review of Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 25 Sep 2012

A compelling documentary that explodes proper and stuffy notions of what a foreign intellectual dissident looks and sounds like…

Review of Ballplayer: Pelotero (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 25 Sep 2012

Illuminating -- gets into the uneasy combination of moral benevolence and almost parasitic business interest that informs non-familial adults…

Review of Big Boys Gone Bananas!* (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 25 Sep 2012

A compelling story about freedom of speech, and how in a worldwide economy and digital age companies are even more apt to take aggressive measures…

Review of Downtown Express (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 25 Sep 2012

Marked by wide-eyed charm, though not particularly adroit -- a marginal pan, owing to its somewhat lazy and functional narrative…

Review of Of Two Minds (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 25 Sep 2012

Swollen with feeling -- an enormously empathetic documentary that highlights the diversity and range of experience within the diagnosis of…

Review of Nipples & Palm Trees (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 25 Sep 2012

There's plenty of color and sizzle but precious little of substance in this unenlightening tale of a down-and-out Los Angeles artist and his…

Review of True Wolf (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 25 Sep 2012

Frustratingly shapeless and rather bewildering, True Wolf fumbles away interest in what by rights should be the fascinating tale of a Montana…

Review of Of Two Minds (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 25 Sep 2012

Swollen with feeling -- an enormously empathetic documentary that highlights the diversity and range of experience within the diagnosis of…

Review of Union Square (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 25 Sep 2012

A half-sketched tale of familial floundering, Union Square is a suffocating and pantomimed drama that makes an especially unconvincing and…

Review of Speak (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 25 Sep 2012

Most of Speak is an uplifting portrait of friendly competition, and it's when the film embraces this narrative track, and the illumination…

Review of Dredd (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 09 Sep 2012

An action movie with confidence, style and unapologetic brawn…

Review of Side by Side (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 04 Sep 2012

A film about film that matters -- one that ably sums up an art form, where we've been and where we're going…

Review of Heist: Who Stole the American Dream? (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 27 Aug 2012

Heist is a cinematic gut punch, to be sure, but not one entirely devoid of hope…

Review of Searching for Sugar Man (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 18 Aug 2012

An unexpectedly fresh nonfiction tale that rustles up deep feelings of a life stolen -- part docu-mystery, part uplifting valentine about the…

Review of The Bourne Legacy (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 18 Aug 2012

An intelligent, fantastic piece of well constructed pop entertainment that has a certain air of erudite emotional remove…

Review of ParaNorman (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 18 Aug 2012
