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.

Daybreakers

Ready for this? Daybreakers, the newest vampire-based movie to hit the big screen, is awesome. Starring Ethan Hawke (Training Day), this vampire movie is set in the near distant future where due to a virus, vampires and humans have switched places—that is to say that the vampire population far outnumbers the human one.

Being a fan of the vampire genre, I really enjoyed Daybreakers, even the fact that the humans were still using modified crossbows as a main defense against the vampires. The story was unique enough to keep my attention, which is always a plus. Visually, the movie was awesome. I really like it when movies are filmed in that sort of mono-chromatic way—very fitting for this movie.

One funny thing, and this is pure speculation, about Ethan Hawke's character—his name is Edward. Now, I don't know if that was done on purpose to spite the Twilight fans or if it was purely accidental, but it gave me a good chuckle.

I think this is a movie that a lot of people will be able to sink their teeth into, and enjoy at the same time. I know I did.
