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 Book of Eli

I had the chance to see this in the theaters last Saturday night with a good friend of mine. We were originally going to see the new Mel Gibson movie or Legion. I still have interest to see both of those movies, even with the poor reviews Legion is getting., but we compromised and saw The Book of Eli.

Let me say this about the movie: if I had three thumbs, they'd all be up in favor of this movie. It was amazing, in an odd sort of a way. Granted, it wasn't non-stop action from the beginning, but when there was action, it was solid. The story and concept for the movie were equally impressive. Very well thought through, with just the right amount of twists to really make it interesting. And the ending. Wow. I never saw that coming, but once it was there, it really drove home how much we take everyday things for granted.

Definitely worth the time, definitely worth the price. Great movie.
