Review of Informant (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 13 Sep 2013

It suffers from a slow start, but blossoms into a rather fascinating piece of nonfiction psychological portraiture…

Review of Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 11 Sep 2013

Insidious: Chapter 2 returns all of the major players in service of a story that feels at once convoluted and undernourished…

Review of The Lifeguard (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 29 Aug 2013

With apologies to Thomas Wolfe, you can go home again; The Lifeguard just proves that sometimes it's not the best course of action…

Review of Smash and Grab: The Story of the Pink Panthers (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 23 Aug 2013

A delightful documentary that dances along the edge between intellectual think-piece and ring-a-ding, Ocean's-style criminal lifestyle celebration…

Review of The Patience Stone (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 22 Aug 2013

A unique, intimately scaled and enormously affecting dissection of patriarchal culture, anchored by a wonderful performance from Golshifteh Farahani…

Review of Spark: A Burning Man Story (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 22 Aug 2013

There's a spark here, but as beautiful as a lot of the captured spectacle is, the film doesn't truly catch fire for the layperson…

Review of The Frozen Ground (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 22 Aug 2013

A true crime period piece that somewhat interestingly eschews a lot of investigatory grind in favor of moral certitude and throwback, cat-and-mouse…

Review of We the Parents (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 21 Aug 2013

A fascinating look at the new frontier of America's public education crisis -- a timely, relevant snapshot of a cause in active motion…

Review of Jobs (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 21 Aug 2013

A serviceable little amuse-bouche [which] trades readily on the tremendous native interest that attaches itself to and drives this story, given…

Review of The United States of Autism (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 21 Aug 2013

A unique road trip documentary that, in attempting to throw a spotlight on the wide range of autistic spectrum disorder, broadens horizons…

Review of The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Screen International (2,241) on 20 Aug 2013

Starts out strongly but loses steam after a half-hour, cycling through a catalogue of tween-stamped CGI mayhem en route to a conclusion less…

Review of In a World... (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 16 Aug 2013

So alive, identifiably clumsy and deliciously complicated -- so of the real world -- as to put a smile on viewers' faces…

Review of The Social Network (2010)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 16 Aug 2013

Fincher keeps the movie's tech-y elements on the periphery, focusing instead on the time-honored dramatic elements of isolation, determination,…

Review of Cutie and the Boxer (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 16 Aug 2013

Imparts glancing lessons about the uncertainty of love and the almost necessary dance of responsibility and care-taking involved…

Review of Clear History (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 14 Aug 2013

There's enough here to still merit a curious click, but Clear History may not be what hardcore David acolytes most crave…

Review of When Comedy Went to School (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 13 Aug 2013

Too scattered and bereft of focus to connect with viewers outside of the most sympathetic and devoted habitués of old-school comedy…

Review of Prince Avalanche (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 12 Aug 2013

Deeper meaning rises sneakily to the surface in the offbeat, austere Prince Avalanche, writer-director David Gordon Green's re-imagined, loose…

Review of Drug War (2012)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 12 Aug 2013

Breaking Bad fans, foreign film cineastes and gangster flick aficionados should all find something worthwhile in Johnnie To's taut, impeccably…

Review of Europa Report (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 12 Aug 2013

A solidly cast, interesting budget concept is absolutely wrecked by terrible editing and needless voiceover that is at first wearying and then…

Review of I Give It a Year (2013)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 09 Aug 2013

A fun, amusing, will-they-or-won't-they confection -- a love rhombus wherein a hastily married couple grapples with mutually wandering eyes…
