By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 26 Aug 2009

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 19 Aug 2009

Review of The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Aug 2009

Review of District 9 (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 12 Aug 2009

Review of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)

By Frank Swietek (3,473) for One Guy's Opinion (3,473) on 06 Aug 2009

Review of Tetro (2009)

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

Old-fashioned melodramatic claptrap, served up in ridiculously overblown style...another deeply embarrassing misfire from a man once considered…
