Review of December Boys (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 23 Sep 2007

Review of The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2007

An ensemble dramedy of manners that wrongly thinks it's clever and insightful, and will curdle the blood of all but the most soft-hearted viewers…

Review of Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2007

Even more boring than it was the first couple of times...a cross between Mad Max and Day of the Dead, though markedly inferior to both…

Review of Good Luck Chuck (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2007

Review of Sydney White (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2007

While amiable, it doesn't manage to be inventive enough to escape the feeling that this is a fairy tale that hasn't been sufficiently fractured…

Review of In the Valley of Elah (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 13 Sep 2007

Like Missing, a critique of U.S. government policy disguised as a mystery about a father searching for the truth about his son…

Review of Mr. Woodcock (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Sep 2007

It's not offensive, just anemic. And even Coach Billy Bob can't whip it into shape…

Review of Eastern Promises (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Sep 2007

Review of The Brave One (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Sep 2007

The very fact that it's so well-made actually makes the picture all the more morally dubious…

Review of The Brothers Solomon (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 05 Sep 2007

There are two Wills in The Brothers Solomon, but there's still no way it's a remotely good movie...a hopelessly feeble comedy sketch cruelly…

Review of Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 05 Sep 2007

Viscerally exciting, but without a brain in its head...like an outstanding ten-minute audition reel repeated nine times…

Review of 3:10 to Yuma (1957)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 04 Sep 2007

Review of This Is England (2007)

Review of Halloween (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 29 Aug 2007

Just the latest misguided attempt to recycle an old horror classic, replacing suspense and a sense of mystery with splatter movie cliche and…

Review of Balls of Fury (2007)

Review of The 11th Hour (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 23 Aug 2007

Review of Resurrecting the Champ (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 22 Aug 2007

Review of The Nanny Diaries (2007)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 22 Aug 2007
