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.

127 Hours

Let me start this review by saying that this is one of the most realistic and intense movies that I have ever seen.

This has to be James Franco's best acting performance, in my opinion. I remember back in 2003 when I first heard about the story of Aaron Ralston, and thinking to myself wow, that had to have been some experience to go through. I think the movie captured the intensity of the situation perfectly. The way this story was told was like my arm was pinned by the same bolder; I truly felt like I was there.

Excellent movie. Great story. Awesome ending.
