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.

The Karate Kid

Okay, I'm not going to lie when I say I had serious doubts about this film. I love Jackie Chan—just not sure about the young Jaden Smith.

After watching this remake, I can safely say that I really enjoyed it. I love the fact that the story was kept the same, with a few tweaks to really make it seem different. A younger cast, a new setting, and even a "sweep the leg" moment really brought back memories from watching the original The Karate Kid.

Definitely a movie that I will let my kids watch, once it comes out on DVD. Should be out the first part of October.
