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.

Easy A

Easy A is as much a chick flick as the book The Scarlet Letter is appropriate reading for young teenage girls. While this isn't a remake of the Scarlet Letter (thank goodness), it is a great spin on the idea of it. Be warned, though, the language is a bit rough, especially for a PG-13 movie (another reason this country needs a ratings overhaul).

All in all, I would have to give this movie an A, both for originality, and a superb cast, but knock a few points off for the excessive use of the "s" word. Not a good movie for young teens, in my opinion—best leave this one for the grown ups (and old married couples).
