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: Brooklyn's Finest

I really enjoyed Antoine Fuqua's movie Training Day with Denzel Washington, even though Training Day was extremely harsh and dark. In Brooklyn's Finest Antoine manages to take Training Day to the next level with more characters and more plot. There is this amazing point in the film about 2/3rds of the way through where everything builds and you think this is it, this is when everything falls apart, but it doesn't, everyone makes the right choice and goes home happy. Then the finale comes and it's 10x more intense and dark and incredible, like watching things fall apart in an epic Emmerich movie, only this time it's people's lives falling apart.
