Verona

Verona is a modern adaptation of a famous play by Shakespeare. The handsome and hunky Shannon Kook-Chun who is best known for his outstanding work in Degrassi: The Next Generation is given outstanding material to be lead star of a major motion picture and he lives up to all the excitement about him. He is ready to become a top Hollywood star for sure. Shannon's performance made me think of the famous movie Shelter. His acting is exquisite and his romantic scenes are emotional and riveting. I would definitely view the short if it plays in a theater near you. If it is not in a theater near you, I would definitely go to your favorite one and demand that they book the short. Then, plan on dreaming about the full length motion picture soon to be released! TWO THUMBS UP!

"Romeo and Juliet"has many adaptations. "Verona" is one of them. not the worst. only unconvincing. because the performance of John Bregar is blank and the sensuality of Shannon Kook works but could not be the axis of a story who seems start with ambitious premises for become a sketch abandoned. sure, it is nice. but confusing. it is seductive in few scenes. but the end seems be just an improvisation . and this does "Verona" example of good intentions. but nothing more.

A gay adaptation of "Romeo & Juliet." It's OK ...and it's short, so you don't feel as if you wasted a lot of time after watching it. Having recently watched "Romeu & Romeu" (which was MUCH better) ...I can only give this an "average" rating.

A sport fraternity version of Romeo & Juliet, but with gay men. The storyline could of been more convincing with the acting and script. Hopefully, there is a better version created.
