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 Blind Side Opened My Eyes

I love movies that are based on true stories. I think they are easier for most people to relate to. This movie was no exception.

It never ceases to amaze me that in a world full of problems, conflict and constant day-to-day chaos, there are still good Samaritans.

Sandra Bullock did an amazing job portraying her character in this movie, as did the rest of the cast. There were emotional parts, humorous parts and parts that made me think if something like this can happen to someone, then I should be able to overcome anything that stands in my way.

Is this movie worth seeing? Definitely. Will you tear up? Probably, although I must admit, I thought it was going to be more of a tear jerker for me than it actually was.

Good movie.
