3/5	"*Who knows? You might be in the mood for a slowly unspooling objet d'art filmique with flashes of brilliance in composition and framing. Or you might want to see Iron Man* again.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted May 16, 2008	The Flight of the Red Balloon (2008)	80%
3.5/5	"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian represents a moody, action-packed flashpoint in the arc of Narnia." -- Jam! Movies Posted May 16, 2008	The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)	69%
3.5/5	"Son of Rambow is too lighthearted a movie to seriously play buzzkill with the audience's good time. And feature film first-timers Milner and Poulter play off each other so smoothly, they could be the Coen brothers as schoolboys." -- Jam! Movies Posted May 9, 2008	Son of Rambow (2008)	77%
3.5/5	"Redbelt, David Mamet's characteristically sinister take on the mixed-martial arts craze, is like a noir, grownup version of The Karate Kid or of the recent featherweight teen MMA drama Never Back Down." -- Jam! Movies Posted May 9, 2008	Redbelt (2008)	72%
3.5/5	"If imaginative presentation is Standard Operating Procedure's biggest fault (and it does arguably create a dispassionate tone, ill-befitting an atrocity), it does make two hours of talking heads easier to absorb." -- Jam! Movies Posted May 2, 2008	Standard Operating Procedure (2008)	79%
4/5	"It is light, rather than heavy metal, marked by invigorating war-machine FX and a smart and subtle acting performance, at least by the standards of this genre." -- Jam! Movies Posted May 1, 2008	Iron Man (2008)	93%
2.5/5	"The ongoing corporatization of war is definitely ripe for satire of Catch-22 calibre. One hopes others will rise to the bait and hit the target dead centre." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 25, 2008	War, Inc. (2008)	25%
2/5	"Predictable double-cross piles on predictable double-cross, leading to a conclusion so shocking, you could have knocked me over with a wrecking ball." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 25, 2008	Deception (2008)	12%
3.5/5	"*Nothing matches your first time, but Escape From Guantanamo* is still a liberating low humour experience.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Apr 25, 2008	Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)	56%
4/5	"Funny and achingly sad." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 18, 2008	Young@Heart (2008)	87%
3.5/5	"[Director Balthazar] has made a vivid little film about bullying and cyber-bullying, and done a remarkable job of opening up the head of a silent witness." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 18, 2008	Ben X (2007)	83%
3.5/5	"The writing is sharp throughout, and the interplay -- particularly when the two couples finally stake their battle lines -- is juicy and believable." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 18, 2008	Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)	84%
0.5/5	"*Even for the low expectations of this genre, Prom Night* is gob-smackingly stupid.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Apr 14, 2008	Prom Night (2008)	9%
4/5	"The most laughs I've had watching a movie so far this year came from Kenny -- a surprisingly sensitive and well-drawn Australian mock-documentary about a decent bloke who just happens to clean porta-potties for a living." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 4, 2008	Kenny (2008)	100%
4/5	"To paraphrase the Bard, I come to praise toilet humour, not to bury it and let it decompose." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 4, 2008	Kenny (2008)	100%
2/5	"The worst movie of Jodie Foster's adult career, Nim's Island is as big a mess as you might expect from a movie with four credited writers (which means there were probably more) and two directors, all at apparent cross-purposes." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 4, 2008	Nim's Island (2008)	48%
3/5	"A movie that is smartly written, boasts plenty of funny lines and rides hard on Pegg's ability to look and act like the most stoically put-upon person on the planet." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 28, 2008	Run, Fat Boy, Run (2008)	48%
3/5	"Married Life is a sumptuously shot homage to the spirit of noir. It is enjoyably sour for its own sake and not dependent on a gruesome payoff (in fact, it sets up a few that pointedly don't come to pass)." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 21, 2008	Married Life (2008)	55%
2.5/5	"*As middling mock-docs go, I'll put The Grand* ahead of that paintball one (Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story) and Bob Saget's Farce Of The Penguins. And then I'll fold.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Mar 21, 2008	The Grand ()	42%
2/5	"*The weak Drillbit Taylor* is doubly disappointing -- it's one of Wilson's worst movies, and it's the first big mis-step for the Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen freight-train.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Mar 21, 2008	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	26%
3/5	"City of Men at times seems like City of God-lite, which, mind you, still provides for some heavy moments." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 29, 2008	City of Men (2008)	77%
3.5/5	"There are great swaths of plot in Charlie Bartlett that seem unlikely. And yet, there's a likability to the character and a fair bit of thought to the premise and execution that make it one of the better teen movies in recent years." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 22, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	53%
4/5	"Eran Kolirin's insightful little film -- about a starched band of cop-musicians whose travel plans go awry -- is more than about what happens when ostensible enemies get to know each other." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 15, 2008	The Band's Visit (2007)	98%
2.5/5	"*Every new Romero film is an occasion for me. But he looks too much like a follower with Diary* -- several years behind the pace at that.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Feb 15, 2008	George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)	60%
2.5/5	"A mildly entertaining rom-com with obvious flaws, with nowhere near the out-of-the-candy-box approach to romance it purports to have." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 14, 2008	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	72%
3.5/5	"The effects, the pacing, the mood and the stunningly professional job the ubiquitous child actor Freddie Highmore does playing utterly different twins are enough to make you forget about what's not there." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 14, 2008	The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)	79%
3.5/5	"[Director Julien Temple] stops short of hagiography, while exhaustively positing Strummer as one of the most important cultural figures of the 20th century." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 1, 2008	Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007)	87%
3.5/5	"*A movie with a lot of pulled dramatic punches, Honeydripper* is still very likable. Its real attraction is real blues stars playing live with an energy that would float a much lesser movie than this.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Feb 1, 2008	Honeydripper (2007)	67%
	"The plot pieces all fit together nicely, the acting is fair and the scary stuff is well executed." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 25, 2008	They Wait (2008)	40%
3/5	"Waiter is hardly the mindbender it thinks it is, and there is much potential in the premise that goes unfulfilled." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 25, 2008	Waiter (2006)	n/a
0.5/5	"One very tiny part racetrack-caper-movie, and nine parts lethargy, it is wrong in every way." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 25, 2008	All Hat (2007)	n/a
2.5/5	"*A far cry from Ted Kotcheff's original Rambo movie First Blood, which was ostensibly a serious rumination on the fate of the people we train to kill once we're done with them." -- Jam! Movies* Posted Jan 25, 2008	Rambo (2008)	33%
3/5	"A dry, insightful and sensitive drama." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 18, 2008	Starting Out in the Evening (2007)	86%
2.5/5	"That Heigl's desperate flailing manages to make a movie this trite mildly entertaining speaks to her talent. Now maybe she can bury the hatchet with Apatow and they can make another good romantic comedy." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 18, 2008	27 Dresses (2008)	39%
3/5	"A thoughtful look at the complicated relationship between Christianity and homosexuality." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 11, 2008	For the Bible Tells Me So (2007)	93%
2/5	"*As the mind wanders during the first chuckle-free half-hour of the Ice Cube comedy First Sunday, a thought occurs: Shouldn't you have to win an Oscar before you make a movie this bad?" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Jan 11, 2008	First Sunday (2008)	15%
1/5	"This is a different kind of bad than, say, the glossy, homogenous, boring Hollywood bad we get from a Michael Bay. This is an impassioned, feverish bad, the kind that is as pure of heart as it is innocent of style. Ed Wood bad." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 11, 2008	In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale (2008)	5%
2.5/5	"It all moves with predictable deliberation, with a revelation at the end that will be a surprise only to those who have been asleep through the movie." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 26, 2007	The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)	73%
4/5	"The most faithful and effective transfer of a musical to screen I've seen. And bloody good fun besides." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 21, 2007	Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)	86%
4.5/5	"Part whip-smart teen comedy, part drama, backed by a quirky soundtrack and the most subtle comic performance by a youngster in years, Juno is a rare feel-good film in the morose pack of Oscar contenders." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 14, 2007	Juno (2007)	93%
2.5/5	"Alvin And The Chipmunks moves, little children love it and it's not too painful for adults. All in all, an okay little hit of helium." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 14, 2007	Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)	24%
3/5	"Great fun, an old hippie's anecdote brought to life." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 7, 2007	My Dinner With Jimi (2003)	n/a
3.5/5	"There'll be plenty of time for metaphysics and deep thoughts later. The good news for parents is that this haste makes a complicated story into short-attention-span theatre, perfect for children." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 7, 2007	The Golden Compass (2007)	42%
2/5	"Pyro, sound and fury we've all heard before in ear-splitting Dolby, signifying nothing but an hour and a half of time assassinated." -- Jam! Movies Posted Nov 21, 2007	Hitman (2007)	15%
	"Citizen Duane has a heart, and it ultimately avoids wrapping itself up into a nice, neat little package." -- Jam! Movies Posted Nov 16, 2007	Citizen Duane (2006)	40%
	"A 'nice' film, but nothing worth raising one's blood pressure over." -- Jam! Movies Posted Nov 16, 2007	Breakfast With Scot (2007)	71%
2.5/5	"The result is not only a messy and awkward montage of trendy 'new media' lazily substituting for cinematography, it stretches credulity to tell this whole story, this intimately, in this same way, from so many angles." -- Jam! Movies Posted Nov 16, 2007	Redacted (2007)	44%
3/5	"*In the end, Darfur Now* is a movie whose hopeful message is undermined by its seemingly hopeless reality.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Nov 9, 2007	Darfur Now (2007)	69%
1/5	"Come back Tim Allen, all is forgiven!" -- Jam! Movies Posted Nov 9, 2007	Fred Claus (2007)	22%
3/5	"A kid film with not enough going on." -- Jam! Movies Posted Nov 2, 2007	Bee Movie (2007)	53%
