Review of A Serious Man (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 05 Oct 2009

Piercingly funny, wrenchingly sad and always brilliant...a small but genuine masterwork from a team that's already given us plenty of them…

Review of Zombieland (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 30 Sep 2009

Nothing more than a Troma schlockfest with a bigger budget, but it boasts an amusing script, a quick tempo and...a cast that milks the madness…

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 30 Sep 2009

Colorful and witty...the mixture of action and humor proves as irresistible as ever…

Review of The Invention of Lying (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 30 Sep 2009

Starts with a clever premise and raises the prospect of really biting satire, only to trail off into weakly sweet comedy that falls far short…

Review of Pandorum (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 28 Sep 2009

So bad it ought to be based on a video game…

Review of Love Happens (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 17 Sep 2009

Yeah, love happens. So does something else. Sappy, overemphatic and cloying...[a] mountain of narrative cliches…

Review of Jennifer's Body (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 17 Sep 2009

You have to give Cody and her cohorts credit for trying to pump some new blood into a stale genre, and there are moments of inspired cleverness...but…

Review of Bright Star (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 16 Sep 2009

A mellow, pictorially attractive period piece in which the characters seem actually to breathe rather than merely pose, as so often happens…

Review of The Informant (2008)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 15 Sep 2009

A movie of chuckles rather than belly-laughs...but they really add up. In its unforced, loopy way, this is one of the funniest pictures of the year…

Review of The Burning Plain (2008)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 15 Sep 2009

Intricacy of construction takes precedence over depth of meaning or characterization, and the work entailed in figuring things out isn't rewarded…

Review of Sorority Row (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 10 Sep 2009

You have to admit that it's faithful to its source. The original was lousy, and so is this retread…

Review of My One and Only (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Sep 2009

A sweet, sentimental, occasionally naughty, attractively mounted piece of old-fashioned hokum that will appeal to audiences, mostly female,…

Review of The September Issue (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Sep 2009

Plenty of glitz but precious little substance...an oddly toothless portrait of a bruising business…

Review of Whiteout (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Sep 2009

An Antarctic-set murder mystery that might have played well on the printed page but emerges as a slushy mess on the screen…

Review of Play the Game (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 09 Sep 2009

This isn't so much sitcom fare as dinner-theatre material, directed without an ounce of style or panache and played more broadly than an old…

Review of All About Steve (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 05 Sep 2009

One might be tempted to call it perfectly dreadful if it didn't seem inappropriate to utter the word 'perfect' anywhere within miles of it…
