Review of The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day (2009)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 30 Oct 2009

Review of New York, I Love You (2008)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 05 Oct 2009

Review of The Boys Are Back (2009)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 23 Sep 2009

Review of Funny People (1976)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 03 Aug 2009

Expected Apatowian excesses aside, Funny People mostly pops as a comedy, even though its last two reels are gear-grindingly inefficient and…

Review of Brüno (2009)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 09 Jul 2009

Review of Surveillance (2006)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 02 Jul 2009

A wholly engaging partial misfire, if that makes sense -- a spare yet stylish marginal recommendation that connects due to its provocative…

Review of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 02 Jul 2009

Review of My Life in Ruins (2009)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 11 Jun 2009

Review of Pontypool (2009)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shared Darkness (279) on 28 May 2009
