Review of Hotel Transylvania (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 26 Sep 2012

Ought to have been an agreeable place to spend an hour-and-a-half. Instead after ninety minutes you'll find yourself wishing you'd checked out early…

Review of Samsara (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 26 Sep 2012

Its impact is sporadic and spotty...at times it's mesmerizing, at others simply tedious…

Review of Won't Back Down (2014)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 26 Sep 2012

Broad and simplistic...the sort of earnest but pandering pabulum that might do more harm than good…

Review of Pitch Perfect (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 26 Sep 2012

Despite its ebullience, technical polish and desire to please, the picture comes across as overly derivative and hits a surprising number of…

Review of Looper (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 26 Sep 2012

Faintly absurd, but done up with such confidence that you're willing to go along for the ride…

Review of Dredd (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 21 Sep 2012

While Dredd fares better here than in Stallone's Hollywoodized version, the picture fails to convince that this Robocop retread deserves screen…

Review of House at the End of the Street (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2012

Ultimately it's just an old-fashioned shocker--'Psycho' crossed with 'Jane Eyre,' and reworked for the teeny-bopper crowd…

Review of Trouble with the Curve (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2012

One expects a sports movie to have plenty of cliches, but 'Trouble With the Curve' is so loaded with them...that by the end it collapses under…

Review of End of Watch (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2012

Adam-12' on steroids....Much of Ayer's picture has the feel of reality, but the last twenty minutes move into empty spectacle and heart-on-sleeve…

Review of 10 Years (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Sep 2012

Anybody who's debating whether to attend his high-school union will certainly be dissuaded from doing so by watching a few minutes of this…

Review of Stolen (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 14 Sep 2012

Unconscionably boring. The real act of theft here is of the ninety minutes the picture steals from your life…

Review of Arbitrage (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Sep 2012

Basically a high-toned soap opera, the lick but shallow movie is entertaining enough on a lowbrow level…

Review of Sleepwalk with Me (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 10 Sep 2012

A pretty flimsy piece, but a likable cast and a laid-back attitude make it moderately agreeable…

Review of Chicken with Plums (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Sep 2012

Mostly delicious...a whimsical but bittersweet love letter to the lost Iran of Satrapi's youth…

Review of The Possession (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 30 Aug 2012
