Review of Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 30 Jul 2014

The very empty-headedness...will probably insure its enormous success, since many in the audience will be able to identify with it…

Review of Magic in the Moonlight (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 30 Jul 2014

A stiffly-choreographed period piece [in which] the sleight of hand proves all too slight…

Review of Lucy (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 23 Jul 2014

Loony and laughable...There's something outlandish about Besson trying to infuse ideas into his usual jumble of over-the-top action and comic-book…

Review of And So It Goes (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 23 Jul 2014

It's like watching Oscar the Grouch turn into Mister Rodgers in ninety minutes…

Review of A Most Wanted Man (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 22 Jul 2014

If Hoffman's splendid, subtle performance might not be the apex of his wide-ranging career, this intelligent, engrossing film proves a fitting…

Review of I Origins (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 21 Jul 2014

There's no doubt it wants to be clever and deep. Unhappily, it's actually rather goofy…

Review of Cannibal (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 21 Jul 2014

The film ultimately fails to work except as an aesthetic exercise…

Review of Sex Tape (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Jul 2014

A farce that tries so hard to be naughty without becoming tasteless and raunchy without becoming gross that it winds up exhausting its stars…

Review of Coherence (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Jul 2014

A 'Twilight Zone' dinner party whose guests frankly wear out their welcome…

Review of Wish I Was Here (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Jul 2014

Never becomes anything more than an anemic sit-com leavened with heavy doses of mawkishness. 'Wish I Was Here' will make you wish you weren't…

Review of Venus in Fur (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Jul 2014

A playful-yet-serious rumination on sexual gamesmanship presented through a form of theatrical artifice that Polanski embraces while giving…

Review of The Purge: Anarchy (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Jul 2014

A surprisingly humdrum affair, notable only for the mixed messages it manages to deliver along its corpse-strewn route…

Review of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Jul 2014

A canny continuation of the saga that delivers mood and action in approximately equal measure to compensate for a threadbare plot…

Review of Life Itself (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 03 Jul 2014

An admiring, and admirable, portrait of Ebert as a writer and as a person...not merely touching but honest…

Review of Deliver Us from Evil (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Jul 2014

Marked by a solemnity that frequently lapses into either silliness or tedium, this thriller ultimately fails to deliver the goods…

Review of Earth to Echo (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 01 Jul 2014

Charmless and visually oppressive, it only serves to highlight the superiority of the movies it's so crudely copying…

Review of Third Person (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 30 Jun 2014

One of those imperfect films that's nevertheless more intriguing than conventionally stronger but less challenging ones…

Review of Snowpiercer (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 30 Jun 2014

It may not be the brightest movie around, but it's almost insanely watchable...deliciously different from run-of-the-mill doomsday pictures…

Review of Ivory Tower (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 25 Jun 2014

The treatment...is rather scattershot, but even if some of the targets get only glancing blows and others are ignored almost entirely, 'Ivory…
