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.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel

Okay, Christmas Day is always a great day to go see a movie, weather permitting and once all the presents are opened.

This Christmas Day I had the opportunity to see the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks movie. It was everything I expected it to be - no more, no less. It wasn't a bad movie, and there were definitelty some funny parts - both for the kids and the parents (if you've seen it, think "Dutch oven").

Will it win any awards? Probably not, but it was entertaining and I think my kids liked it. The music was upbeat and popular, so that's a good thing. Will I see it again in the theater? No, probably not - maybe as a rental in the future.
