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.

In Four Sentences: Alice in Wonderland

After thinking about it for a while, I'd describe Alice in Wonderland like Chronicles of Narnia meets Pan's Labyrinth. Tim Burton really went off the deep end (in a really good way) with the visuals, but it lacked his darkness. This was a surprisingly tame telling of a story with very gruesome elements, the red queen has a moat of all the chopped heads, really nasty stuff. Overall though it had that heart and soul we come to expect and love from Tim Burton, worth the trip.
