1.5/5
 
"As pure cinema, however, it is a punishing ordeal just to get through a single screening of this pretentious piece of nonsense." -- Jam! Movies

The 4th Life (2008)60%

"The Promotion is generally harmless but boring." -- Jam! Movies

"Denys Arcand's Days of Darkness have arrived, and not just as a film title." -- Jam! Movies

Days of Darkness (2007)n/a

"A light-hearted yet razor-smart, bittersweet comedy about life in Beirut." -- Jam! Movies

3.5/5
 
"While not overtly done, the entire movie explores what America is laughing about at this point in time -- and what people in the heartland don't find funny. Either way, it is illuminating." -- Jam! Movies

4.5/5
 
"Both perplexing and engrossing as it explores humanity's animal instincts. This being McCarthy and the Coens, nothing is spelled out. The seeds are there and they will flourish in a fertile mind." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Nov 9, 2007
 
No Country for Old Men (2007)95%
/
4/5
 
"Simply put, do not go to this film if you are looking for a romantic comedy or a routine drama. Things We Lost in the Fire offers no such escapism. Instead, even in a fiction, it brings us face to face with the demons of life." -- Jam! Movies

"It is interesting and not riveting, lovely and not luxurious, good and not great. Some may even find it boring. It certainly is repetitive." -- Jam! Movies

Across the Universe (2007)54%

"As a fictional version of historical fact, it artfully tells a story of humanity that will interest anyone who wants to understand what happens in a war zone when the shooting stops." -- Jam! Movies

"Robertson, making her directorial debut with this American production, manipulates her images in a manner that distorts the truth and brings into question what a documentary film is supposed to do." -- Jam! Movies

"If what Bier and veteran co-writer Anders Thomas Jensen created is melodrama, then so is the stuff of life." -- Jam! Movies

Sleeping Dogs (2006)n/a
/
0.5/5
 
"The roman numeral in the title is the most sophisticated thing about the sequel. Otherwise, this radioactive spawn of Wes Craven is abysmal, stupid and -- horror of all horrors! -- incredibly boring." -- Jam! Movies

The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)12%

3.5/5
 
"Even with its weaknesses, such as those many coincidences that keep the plot going, the film offers a unique and playful adventure seldom found in Hollywood cinema." -- Jam! Movies

Congorama (2006)38%

"It is forceful. It is advocacy journalism. It is a documentary with a social conscience and a scientific agenda." -- Jam! Movies

1.5/5
 
"The problem is everything in between the production numbers. In most movies, that is called plot and character development. In Stomp The Yard, it is a rip-off of a bunch of beat-up, banal, and intellectually empty cliches." -- Jam! Movies

Stomp the Yard (2007)27%

"Not perfect and meant to be disturbing for its take on complex moral issues, this British film is so well acted that it is Oscar-bound." -- Jam! Movies

"Rarely in film history has such elaborate fantasy been put in the service of such a profound and serious treatment of reality. But Pan's Labyrinth is an extraordinary film made by an exceptional visionary." -- Jam! Movies

"Not to everyone's tastes, this Quebec film is nasty, brutal and pulpish. But it has wry humour, too, and works by sucking you into its low-rent world." -- Jam! Movies

"So what exactly, or even vaguely, is Mel Gibson trying to say that is not obvious, primitive and ridiculous? Mad Mel kept the answers to himself. They are not in the film." -- Jam! Movies

Apocalypto (2006)65%

"Some movies are Hollywood's version of littering: Like half-eaten pizzas or rancid burgers, these flicks are tossed aside to rot in empty cinemas." -- Jam! Movies
