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.

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

I was actually excited to see this one, although I have never read the books. I have always been a huge fan of Greek mythology. Besides having a pretty big cast of well known actors, and some newbies, it also has a pretty decent story. Director Chris Columbus did a good job of melding the new-comers with the veteran actors. Many people might not like it, but then again, I am not part of that crowd.

Simply put, although it will probably not win any awards, there's a spot on my wall of enjoyable movies for Percy Jackson & the Olympians.
