By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 01 Aug 2012

Review of Ice Age: Continental Drift (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 11 Jul 2012

Review of Ted (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 27 Jun 2012

Review of Magic Mike (2012)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 27 Jun 2012

Review of Your Sister's Sister (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Jun 2012

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 20 Jun 2012
