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.

Felon

You know, I never thought I'd like anything that Val Kilmer did after Willow (laugh if you want), but I think I just found one. Felon has Kilmer playing second fiddle (good spot for him) to Stephen Dorff (Blade, Public Enemies) as a convicted killer and cell mate to Dorff. Aside from the fact that the language and violence in this movie was over-the-top, the story was really good, and Kilmer actually made me think he was the character who he portrayed. Dorff was excellent as well, and believable.

Definitely not a date movie—but interesting and entertaining just the same.
