If you want to read lengthy, drawn-out reviews of the movies in theaters now (or soon to be) then this isn't the blog you should be reading. Most of the posts from The Other Critic are short, sweet and to the point; that's how we roll here.

We also don't just focus on current movies. Let's face it, there are plenty of good movies that have been made, and sometimes viewers have a tendency to forget that there is more to life than movies in the theaters.

With all that said, please enjoy the short and concise, and sometimes opinionated reviews. If you don't like them, that's okay—we won't hold it against you.

The Time Traveler's Wife

Okay, here's my take on this novel turned to film.

When I first saw the trailer, I thought "hmm, interesting concept, might be worth renting." Then my wife read the book, finished it in a matter of days and proclaimed that she wanted to see this film opening night.

This was a very good movie, full of emotion. A good combination of laughter and tears, this romantic, sci-fi drama left me wanting to read the book - if I can find the time, I just might do that. Eric Bana's performance was outstanding, as was that of Rachael McAdams.

It's a great thing when a novel gets turned into a movie that actually follows the original plot.
