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.

New Jack City

Any idea what Wesley Snipes, Ice-T, and Chris Rock did before they were popular movie stars? I do. They starred in 1991s New Jack City (along with some other actors that have since disappeared). I know that this was supposed to be a serious movie, but I had to stifle more than one giggle during it—especially when Wesley Snipes appears in the club wearing a Flava-Flav necklace. Decent enough story, but the acting left me wanting something...oh, yeah, talent. I guess that's why some of them went onto bigger things and the rest of them stayed in New Jack City.
