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.

Where the Wild Things Are

When I saw that they were making a movie based on Where the Wild Things Are, I thought to myself this is definitely going to go one of two ways. Either it's going to be awesome—like the memories I have of the book from childhood—or it's going to bomb.

Unfortunately, I found the 101 minute film to drag on slower than The Ten Commandments. It had it's moments, but all in all, I wasn't really a fan. There were things in there that I can see being very scary for kids, plus I can see it hitting very close to home with some children based on feelings of being alone and feeling neglected.

Again, I didn't really care for it, although I am sure there are some out there that would disagree, and that's fine.
