Review of Crimson Gold (2003)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 May 2004

Review of Carandiru (2003)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 May 2004

Though the picture is only sporadically powerful and shows a streak of sentimentality beneath its gritty exterior, its strengths outweigh the…

Review of Love Me If You Dare (2003)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 May 2004

An extravagantly florid romantic comedy in which the lead couple are so self-absorbed and obnoxious that a viewer can barely tolerate their presence…

Review of Shrek 2 (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 May 2004

Review of Breakin' All the Rules (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 13 May 2004

A sadly ordinary bit of fluff, a romantic comedy that aims to be wacky and charming and winds up being neither…

Review of Troy (2004)

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

For two hours or so, 'Troy' is a reasonably good boys' adventure story--a sort of Classics Comics version of Homer…

Review of New York Minute (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 05 May 2004

If it actually lived up to its title and lasted a mere New York minute, it might be tolerable…

Review of Godsend (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 28 Apr 2004

So not scary that it's positively frightening--and not in a good sense...Just stamp it as you would a piece of unwanted mail: Return to sender…

Review of Mean Girls (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 28 Apr 2004

Genuinely spiky and amusing...much sharper and funnier than most movies of its ilk…

Review of Laws of Attraction (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 26 Apr 2004

While it's done up with gloss and good will, it falls far short of its models and winds up innocuous, but thin and decidedly creaky…

Review of Man on Fire (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Apr 2004

Cruelly underwritten but wildly overproduced, this latest Hollywood example of the vigilante vengeance movie is...at once sensorily fatiguing…

Review of 13 Going on 30 (2004)

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

A sprightly surprise...a girl's wish-fulfillment fantasy that's engaging rather than trying, a chick flick that even their dates can enjoy…

Review of Two Men Went To War (2002)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Apr 2004

A curiously feeble wartime comedy...to be filed under the heading of 'Might Have Beens…

Review of Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Apr 2004

Review of Dogville (2003)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Apr 2004

Artifice without true artistry...the writer-director means to excoriate American hubris, of course, but what he makes all too evident is his own…

Review of The Punisher (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Apr 2004

Aptly titled: it's punishingly long, slow and tepid, as flat and glossy as any issue of the comic...a long-winded, curiously unexciting revenge…

Review of The Whole Ten Yards (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 07 Apr 2004

The original may not have offered a full nine yards of laughs, but the comedic value of this moronic sequel would have to be measured not even…

Review of The Alamo (2004)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Apr 2004

A big, sprawling movie with remarkably little grandeur; what's worse, it's emotionally hollow...with cardboard characterizations and wooden dialogue…
