Review of Need for Speed (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 13 Mar 2014

A movie about fast cars that makes 'The Fast and the Furious'...look literate and clever...hilariously melodramatic muscle-car camp, unbearably…

Review of Veronica Mars (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 13 Mar 2014

A workmanlike but hardly scintillating mystery that spends more time and energy reintroducing characters from the show and trying to capture…

Review of Mr. Peabody & Sherman (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Mar 2014

Has its less inspired stretches, but for the most part it's charming and funny, a nostalgia trip that should also appeal to newcomers…

Review of 300: Rise of an Empire (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 05 Mar 2014

History takes a beating in '300: Rise of an Empire,' and viewers get a pretty good pummeling, too....another wacky, CGI-dominated, ultra-macho…

Review of Son of God (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 28 Feb 2014

Will probably be embraced by committed Christians for its obvious sincerity and fidelity to the gospels...despite its many cinematic flaws…

Review of Odd Thomas (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 27 Feb 2014

Isn't terrible, but it tries much too hard to be hip and sassy while telling a story that, to be honest, is far less fresh than it wants to be…

Review of Non-Stop (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 27 Feb 2014

A committed cast and crew do their best to keep this airplane thriller aloft, but ultimately a ludicrous premise and multiple plot inanities…

Review of Tim's Vermeer (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 27 Feb 2014

An irresistibly engaging documentary that might be described as a lab experiment in art history presented with Las Vegas-style showmanship…

Review of Pompeii (2014)

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

While...a pleasure only in the guiltiest of senses, if you're willing to leave your brain in the lobby it can be giddily amusing as an exercise…

Review of 3 Days to Kill (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Feb 2014

At one point in '3 Days to Kill' Kevin Costner says, 'I've done some terrible things.' The movie proves it…

Review of In Secret (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Feb 2014

A respectable, though hardly entrancing, adaptation of Zola's once-notorious novel, though there's a whiff of minor Masterpiece Theatre about it…

Review of Winter's Tale (2014)

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

A dud of epic proportions, a fantasy that's less magical than risible…

Review of Endless Love (2014)

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

Mawkish folderol...so glossy and bland that you'd swear it had migrated from the CW onto the big screen, and feel yourself inclined to doze…

Review of RoboCop (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 13 Feb 2014

A competent action movie, but one that could have been, like the 1987 film, something more than that...the set-pieces are impressively choreographed…

Review of The Lego Movie (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Feb 2014

Even those who have never touched the little plastic blocks should find it unexpectedly enjoyable…

Review of The Monuments Men (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 05 Feb 2014

A fascinating story tepidly told...a prosaic, pedestrian take on a subject that should have elicited real passion from its makers…

Review of That Awkward Moment (2014)

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

Awful rather than awkward is the operative adjective here...you wince as the game cast strives to make the picture tolerable, and fails miserably…

Review of Labor Day (2013)

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

A plodding, mushy melodrama in Nicholas Sparks mode [that] might have been a labor of love for Reitman, but for the audience is just laborious…
