Review of A Love Affair of Sorts (2011)

Review of Bride Flight (2008)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 17 Jun 2011

Stuffy and a bit predictable from the outside, this nicely mounted Dutch melodrama eventually blossoms if one gives it time and an open heart…

Review of Jig (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 16 Jun 2011

Review of Green Lantern (2011)

Review of Empire of Silver (2009)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 01 Jun 2011

A beautiful but stolid, screamingly boring period piece with acting so wooden as to invite unfavorable comparison to a collection of popsicle sticks…

Review of Some Days Are Better Than Others (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 30 May 2011

Review of X-Men: First Class (2011)

By Perri Nemiroff (375) for Shockya.com (657) on 30 May 2011

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 28 May 2011

Review of Beautiful Boy (2011)

By Perri Nemiroff (375) for Shockya.com (657) on 22 May 2011

A tough watch and when the sadness peaks, it leads you to write it off as the slightest bit exploitative, but the performances are so raw,…

Review of Hard Breakers (2011)

By Brent Simon (1,142) for Shockya.com (657) on 21 May 2011

Woefully inept and stupendously unfunny -- a movie that slots into that special sub-category of terrible, the one that calls out for alcohol…
