2/5	" It's interesting and very telling that in the credits the actors are named last. It's Wiseman's way of acknowledging his films are not about performances but special effects." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jul 1, 2006	Underworld: Evolution (2006)	14%
2.5/5	" The problem lies with whoever insisted Bullock and Reeves be so dour and melancholy." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jun 16, 2006	The Lake House (2006)	36%
2/5	" It's initially very funny but it's a sight gag that runs out of steam about the fourth or fifth time Black dons his luchador costume." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jun 16, 2006	Nacho Libre (2006)	39%
3/5	" A Prairie Home Companion glides along effortlessly offering some sweet sentiment, loads of gentle laughs and some great little musical moments." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jun 9, 2006	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	81%
3/5	" The problem with front loading a film with such spectacular stunts is director Pierre Morel has nowhere to go." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jun 2, 2006	District B13 (2006)	80%
2/5	" *Lindsay Lohan's new romantic comedy, Just My Luck, is strictly for tweens." -- Jam! Movies* Posted May 12, 2006	Just My Luck (2006)	13%
2.5/5	" He [Shriner] creates some charming moments and a few exciting ones, but he can't seem to tie them all together and sustain the pacing." -- Jam! Movies Posted May 5, 2006	Hoot (2006)	26%
3.5/5	" It is because Palmer's performance is so real and centred that we become so involved in Akeelah's quest." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 28, 2006	Akeelah and the Bee (2006)	83%
2.5/5	" Stick It can't stand up under too much scrutiny. It's cliched and contrived, but it does play well to its target audience of young females." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 28, 2006	Stick It (2006)	30%
4/5	" *Paul Greengrass's United 93* is beyond devastating. His film about the events of Sept. 11, 2001, is all the more numbing because it is handled with such dignity and efficiency.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Apr 28, 2006	United 93 (2006)	91%
2.5/5	" The Sentinel is not half bad, but it's not nearly as good as it could have been." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 21, 2006	The Sentinel (2006)	34%
3/5	" *It may be seriously flawed, but American Dreamz* is still amusing and pleasantly subversive.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Apr 21, 2006	American Dreamz (2006)	41%
2/5	" Scary Movie 4 has the feel of a film thrown together for a deadline, rather than conceived to poke fun at haunted house, ghost, alien and pop culture movies." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 14, 2006	Scary Movie 4 (2006)	38%
3.5/5	" Take the Lead is equal parts To Sir with Love and Fame and it�s a surprisingly effective mix." -- Jam! Movies Posted Apr 7, 2006	Take the Lead (2006)	43%
4/5	" Ice Age: The Meltdown is a joy from start to finish, as nutty and irreverent as its tiny hero Scrat." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 31, 2006	Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)	56%
3/5	" *It's Bourne's subtle and nuanced performance, and not the veiled whodunit nature of the plot that makes Six Figures* compelling.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Mar 31, 2006	Six Figures (2006)	83%
3/5	" Slither is the equivalent of an emotional workout. It will have you squirming, screaming, jumping, chortling, howling and groaning." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 31, 2006	Slither (2006)	84%
3.5/5	" What could have been a rather nasty dark comedy is a wildly funny satire on the art of seduction." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 24, 2006	These Girls (2006)	71%
3.5/5	" It's not about ideas or insights but about cleverly calculated thrills, stunning camera work, a magnificent musical score and haunting atmospheric lighting." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 17, 2006	V For Vendetta (2005)	73%
3/5	" The incredible landscapes are breathtaking and hint at how inhospitable nature can be." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 10, 2006	Beowulf & Grendel (2005)	48%
2.5/5	" ... the film lurches more often than it launches." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 10, 2006	Failure to Launch (2006)	26%
3/5	" It is an unpleasant, vile exercise in sadism, but undeniably effective." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 10, 2006	The Hills Have Eyes (2006)	49%
3.5/5	" The Shaggy Dog may be silly, contrived and obvious, but it is wholesome, spirited family entertainment." -- Jam! Movies Posted Mar 10, 2006	The Shaggy Dog (2006)	28%
2/5	" *[Director Wayne] Kramer, who showed such promise as a filmmaker with The Cooler, takes a couple of giant steps backward with Running Scared." -- Jam! Movies* Posted Feb 24, 2006	Running Scared (2006)	40%
3/5	" *[Director] Wong and [writer] Morgan honed their skills on The X-Files, Millenium* and The Commish and it shows in their ability to create suspense and tension as well as carnage.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Feb 10, 2006	Final Destination 3 (2006)	45%
3/5	" The suspense, tension and thrills may not stop your heart, but they'll certainly rev it up a bit." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 10, 2006	Firewall (2006)	19%
3.5/5	" Steve Martin is no Peter Sellers, but he still makes a winning Inspector Clouseau." -- Jam! Movies Posted Feb 10, 2006	Pink Panther (2006)	25%
3/5	" Annapolis works because it presses emotional buttons which are virtually foolproof, not because it offers anything new to the audience." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 27, 2006	Annapolis (2006)	10%
4/5	" How the two men become friends is as wildly funny as it is improbable, but that's the joy of this dark comedy." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 20, 2006	The Matador (2005)	75%
2.5/5	" What proves most disturbing is the way in which the film portrays Homolka as a victim." -- Jam! Movies Posted Jan 20, 2006	Karla (2006)	0%
2.5/5	" *The greatest failing of The New World* is that it may dazzle our senses but it fails to involve us emotionally.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Jan 20, 2006	The New World (2005)	60%
3.5/4	" *To the credit of everyone involved with Disney's Glory Road, all things familiar still become exhilarating and inspirational." -- Jam! Movies* Posted Jan 13, 2006	Glory Road (2006)	56%
4/5	" [Y]ou'd be foolish to miss it because it does boast moments of true perfection and genius." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 24, 2005	Walk the Line (2005)	83%
4/5	" It's the kind of warm-hearted, insightful comedy that should become a holiday viewing tradition." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 16, 2005	The Family Stone (2005)	53%
3.5/5	" The animators and voice actors have a great deal of sly fun bringing this misfit foursome to life." -- Jam! Movies Posted Dec 6, 2005	Chicken Little (2005)	37%
2.5/5	" The script is not nearly clever or original enough and Gosnell's direction goes into panic mode each time he stages the chaos." -- Jam! Movies Posted Nov 28, 2005	Yours, Mine, & Ours (2005)	5%
3.5/5	" *The best thing about Just Friends* is that it never pretends to be anything other than a crass, unsophisticated youth comedy.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Nov 28, 2005	Just Friends (2005)	43%
2.5/5	" *Ramis keeps the action moving at a good pace, but his film lacks the manic menace of Fargo." -- Jam! Movies* Posted Nov 28, 2005	The Ice Harvest (2005)	46%

	" *George Clooney�s Good Night, and Good Luck* is a masterful character study that is also a taut thriller.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Nov 11, 2005	Good Night, And Good Luck (2005)	94%
5/5	" From its breathtaking cinematography and soaring musical score to its lavish period costumes and stunning sets, this is a film that assaults the senses as it takes the viewer on a wonderful journey through the pitfalls of love." -- Jam! Movies Posted Nov 11, 2005	Pride and Prejudice (2005)	85%
3.5/5	" A spirited diversion that showcases the talents of Witherspoon and Ruffalo, who should team up again soon." -- Jam! Movies Posted Oct 15, 2005	Just Like Heaven (2005)	57%
2/5	" *Many of the very attributes that made David Auburn's Proof* an award-winning stage play hamper it as a film.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Sep 30, 2005	Proof (2005)	64%

4/5	" *The characters are over 30 so the humour and situations are far less juvenile than in abominations like Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo* or any number of Will Ferrell slapstick comedies.*" -- Jam! Movies* Posted Aug 19, 2005	The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)	84%
