Review of Cairo Time (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 18 Aug 2010

While slight, it has the texture and mood of a nice short story, and comes as a relief after so many loud, blustery Hollywood pictures…

Review of Animal Kingdom (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 18 Aug 2010

Review of Love Ranch (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Aug 2010

Review of Flipped (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 11 Aug 2010

Though...an improvement on [Reiner's] recent efforts, it's still too frail and cutesy to be much more than passable…

Review of Get Low (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 11 Aug 2010

Review of The Expendables (2010)

Review of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 11 Aug 2010

An instant cult movie, and while it certainly succeeds on that level and members of the cult will embrace it for that very reason, the uninitiated--though…

Review of The Other Guys (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 04 Aug 2010

Definitely funnier than other spoofs of the buddy-cop genre, but it's still a very mixed bag…

Review of The Nature of Existence (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 02 Aug 2010

A journey that prizes intellectual search over simplistic solutions, and if you come to it with a similar attitude you should enjoy ambling along…

Review of 9500 Liberty (2009)

Review of Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 28 Jul 2010

A rather tepid special-effects spy movie for kids, in the same vein as 'G-Force,' if you'll forgive the expression…

Review of Agora (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 25 Jul 2010

Despite the open-air connotation of the title, there's a curiously constricted, even suffocating quality to 'Agora' that leaves it...a chore…

Review of Ramona and Beezus (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 21 Jul 2010

Amiable but innocuous family movie, which would be more at home on a cable channel than theatre screens but should nevertheless amuse young…

Review of The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 13 Jul 2010
