Review of Straw Dogs (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 15 Sep 2011

Prose rather than poetry, basically an impersonal work without any strong directorial imprint...the new 'Straw Dogs' is superior to most of…

Review of I Don't Know How She Does It (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 14 Sep 2011

A chick flick that feels thirty years behind the times…

Review of Drive (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 14 Sep 2011

A throwback, but one with a stylish new spin...alternately solemn and explosive, it's a wild ride, though like any such enterprise more notable…

Review of Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 10 Sep 2011

A comic monstrosity...plays like an unfunny idea for a raunchy five-minute sketch that's been cruelly extended to an insufferable ninety-six minutes…

Review of Creature (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 08 Sep 2011

A sinkhole features prominently in the final confrontation between man and beast in 'Creature.' It would have been wiser to chuck the negative…

Review of Contagion (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 07 Sep 2011

More a cinematic autopsy than an affecting drama--a cool, detached dissection of an enormous human tragedy; and while it certainly succeeds…

Review of Chasing Madoff (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 07 Sep 2011

If you want a factual primer on Madoff's crimes, you should look elsewhere…

Review of Apollo 18 (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Sep 2011

The stream of jerky, fuzzy, static-riddled and otherwise distressed visuals...[is] a trick that's gone stale, and 'Apollo 18' doesn't freshen it up…

Review of Seven Days in Utopia (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 31 Aug 2011

Heavy-handed and sanctimonious...the advice from this quarter isn't 'See it, feel it, trust it,' but 'Skip it…

Review of 5 Days of War (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 29 Aug 2011

One can imagine a powerful film being made using the brief 2008 'war' as a backdrop. Unfortunately, this isn't it…

Review of Our Idiot Brother (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 24 Aug 2011

A movie that has a few laughs, but despite its laid-back hero has a forced, oddly strident feel…

Review of Senna (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 22 Aug 2011

As sports documentaries go,...excellent, though in a fairly conventional way…

Review of Attack the Block (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 17 Aug 2011

Has energy and some laughs, but in the end suffers from a familiar threadbare quality…

Review of Conan the Barbarian (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 17 Aug 2011

Conan the Borebarian'...directed by the guy responsible for 'Pathfinder' and proves as silly and visually overblown as that movie…

Review of The Future (2013)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Aug 2011

Too ostentatiously whimsical to be much more than a weird curio…

Review of Final Destination 5 (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 10 Aug 2011

Review of The Help (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Aug 2011

A cunningly--but not cynically--manipulative picture...that makes the canny mix of drama, sentiment and comedy a more palatable brew than it…

Review of Beats Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest (2011)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 03 Aug 2011
