Review of Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Sep 2004

One big, stinking bomb...a drearily repetitive collection of tepid battle scenes, thrown together with little skill and less imagination…

Review of Evergreen (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 08 Sep 2004

There's a hopefulness to its title that Evergreen never earns. This is one undernourished, stunted little sapling…

Review of Criminal (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 08 Sep 2004

May not be any great shakes as a cinematic puzzle, but it gives Reilly and Luna an opportunity to perform a thespian song-and-dance routine…

Review of Paparazzi (1998)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Sep 2004

A crude, violent tale of vigilante justice...[that] panders to the basest instincts of its viewers, and does so in the most coarsely calculating way…

A crude, violent tale of vigilante justice...[that] panders to the basest instincts of its viewers, and does so in the most coarsely calculating way…

Review of Vanity Fair (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 29 Aug 2004

Not unpleasant in a bland Masterpiece Theatre way, but not very faithful to its astringent source either...easy to sit through but not particularly…

Review of Vanity Fair (1932)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 29 Aug 2004

Review of Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 25 Aug 2004

The original 'Anaconda' was dumb fun; this sequel is just dumb…

Review of Mean Creek (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 25 Aug 2004

A combination of River's Edge and Bully that's gentler but ultimately more compelling than either...told with uncommon authenticity and sensitivity…

Review of Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 18 Aug 2004

A grimly goofy, tediously bloody, dismally un-scary trashing of Friedkin's original that fits comfortably with the myriad other 'supernatural…

Review of Code 46 (2003)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 18 Aug 2004

One of Michael Winterbottom's interesting failures--intriguing to look at but curiously hollow inside…

Review of Without a Paddle (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 17 Aug 2004

May not sink as far into the muck as most movies of its type, but despite its treasure-hunting theme it unearths no comic riches…

Review of AVP: Alien vs. Predator (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 11 Aug 2004

In this contest it's boredom and stupidity that are victorious...though loud and brutally paced and edited, far more silly than scary…

Review of We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 10 Aug 2004

So 'literary' that it's drained of every drop of life and truth, it's...rather like a soap opera thoroughly scrubbed of its characteristic…

Review of Outfoxed: Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Aug 2004

As one-sided as Fox News is, but at least it doesn't pretend to be otherwise, and it's much more fun to watch…

Review of The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Aug 2004

Doesn't measure up even to its mediocre predecessor; it's a shallow, predictable effort that evaporates as soon as the images hit the screen…

Review of Stander (2003)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 04 Aug 2004

A picture we've seen quite often before, and one that doesn't offer sufficiently new insight into its standard plot to make it fresh or compelling…
