Review of Wanted (2008)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 14 May 2012

The movie never convincingly sells us on its tone, and setting…

Review of Kabluey (2007)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 14 May 2012

Hey, ever wonder about the secret lives of those guys dancing around in the Subway sandwich outfits in 100-degree summer heat, and all that…

Review of Secrecy (2008)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 14 May 2012

A messily structured look into the hidden world of national security policy and the 'classification universe,' Secrecy comes off as not much…

Review of The Perfect Family (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 07 May 2012

A resolutely middle-of-the-road affair that never locates and communicates a very persuasive reason for its existence, or even a compelling…

Review of ATM (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 05 May 2012

Spatially contained thriller ATM squanders the efforts of a solid young cast, fumbling away viewer sympathy via increasingly harebrained scenarios…

Review of Suing The Devil (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 04 May 2012

Aiming for some theoretical sweet spot between comedy, courtroom drama and Up-with-Jesus…

Review of Bernie (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 04 May 2012

Another treat from American original Richard Linklater -- a fantastically absorbing and comedically inflected docu-drama, kind of a slightly…

Review of Elles (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 30 Apr 2012

A ponderous, self-satisfied drama that can't be saved by a characteristically nuanced performance from Juliette Binoche…

Review of The Five-Year Engagement (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 30 Apr 2012

Possesses the same nougaty center of ribaldry and sentimentality in which Judd Apatow specializes, but falls victim to a sagging hour-plus…

Review of Restless City (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 27 Apr 2012

Beautiful but inert, Restless City is like a grimy lost verse of Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind' -- a film concerned with locating the quiet…

Review of Sound of My Voice (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 24 Apr 2012

A gripping, low-fi, arthouse mystery/thriller that steadily swells the pulse of viewers, Sound of My Voice is a joint exercise in disquiet…

Review of 96 Minutes (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 24 Apr 2012

Overly familiar plotting and a dearth of insight doom this padded, grandiloquent carjacking melodrama, no matter its claim that it's based…

Review of Jesus Henry Christ (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 22 Apr 2012

Its casually whimsical tone and esoteric asides come across less as emblematic of a genuinely original voice, and more like an amalgamation…

Review of Darling Companion (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 21 Apr 2012

An ambling, pleasantly inoffensive ensemble dramedy which suffers from a dearth of insight or elevating banter, and which mistakes authenticity…

Review of Fightville (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 20 Apr 2012

A shrewdly observed MMA doc [that's] the equivalent of an unexpectedly delightful conversation with a potluck-seated dinner companion with…

Review of Monsieur Lazhar (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 18 Apr 2012

Perceptive and humanistic, Monsieur Lazhar unfolds in a world that recognizes and embraces complexity and duality, and isn't dishonest about…

Review of Keyhole (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 17 Apr 2012

Characteristically full of some beautiful and evocative images, Maddin's latest film seems doggedly intent on achieving art status merely through…

Review of Chimpanzee (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 16 Apr 2012

A heartwarming and astonishingly intimate nonfiction feature that engagingly locates the parallel drama, sadness, curiosity and uplift of the…

Review of American Reunion (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 11 Apr 2012

More middling than ineffective -- laughs are intermittent but the tone is lively throughout -- the film is a reminder that there is a time…

Review of The Island President (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 11 Apr 2012

A socially engaged documentary with more heart than head, this slice of boosterism focusing on the exiled Maldives president achieves unexpected…
