2.5/5
 
"Chances are you will love The Fountain. Or, you will absolutely hate it." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Nov 22, 2006
 
The Fountain (2006)51%
/
 
"Saw III is gross and squirmy, but it’s got a lot of brains and heart to go along with its guts. Better than Saw and Saw II combined." -- Toronto Sun
Posted Oct 27, 2006
 
Saw III (2006)27%
/
3.5/5
 
"Saw III isn’t just by far the best film of the series, it’s one of the better horror movies of the year." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Oct 27, 2006
 
Saw III (2006)27%
/
2/5
 
"When the lights come up after a mercifully short 88 minutes, you'll want to bolt for the exit. Faster than a speeding bullet." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Aug 12, 2006
 
Zoom (2006)2%
/
3/5
 
"What starts out as a strained, silly and strictly-for-the-chitlins collection of talking animal shenanigans redeems itself through sheer force of personality." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006)23%
/
4/5
 
"It's weirdly fitting that a movie about going down into the inky depths to face monsters both physical and psychological has actually raised the horror genre to a bright new height." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Aug 4, 2006
 
The Descent (2006)85%
/
3/5
 
"Shifting the action to Japan makes this third movie in the over-the-top street racing series a lot fresher, but you'll still need to shift your brain into neutral to keep your suspension of disbelief from bottoming out." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Jun 16, 2006
 
The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)34%
/
2/5
 
"Silent Hill starts out promisingly -- atmospheric and creepy -- but degenerates into a muddle of nonsensical plotting, dull characters and unintentional hilarity." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Apr 21, 2006
 
Silent Hill (2006)29%
/
2/5
 
"American Dreamz puts reality TV and U.S. politics in its crosshairs, then fails to pull the trigger. It's less entertaining than an average episode of American Idol. And that's saying something." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Apr 21, 2006
 
American Dreamz (2006)41%
/
4/5
 
"It might not be a classic for the eons, but Ice Age: The Meltdown is so delightfully fun, funny and action-packed that it's hard to find cracks in its slick surface." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Mar 31, 2006
 
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)56%
/
3.5/5
 
"A throwback to the classic heist flicks of the '70s but with a 21st-century sensibility, Inside Man is the kind of twisty, cerebral thriller that they don't make any more." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Mar 24, 2006
 
Inside Man (2006)86%
/
3/5
 
"Sadly, it's not human and gritty enough that we'll take anything away from it after the neatly tied-up climax and epilogue play themselves out and the credits roll." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Mar 3, 2006
 
16 Blocks (2006)56%
/
3/5
 
"Younger kids will probably love George's slapstick antics, but adults hoping for wink-wink jokes working on another level may well be bored into oblivion." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Feb 10, 2006
 
Curious George (2006)69%
/
3.5/5
 
"Allen's capable direction makes the most of the film's tiny $1-million budget, and Dupuis' performance is a revelation." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Oct 28, 2005
 
Manners of Dying (2004)60%
/
2/5
 
"If you can sit through Saw II without gagging, gasping or covering your eyes, you are made of stern stuff indeed. And you should seek psychiatric help, since you might be a closet sociopath." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Oct 28, 2005
 
Saw II (2005)36%
/
2.5/5
 
"[A] sometimes engaging but often meandering mishmash of a movie." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Oct 15, 2005
 
Elizabethtown (2005)28%
/
4/5
 
"Could be called Batman is Back, And it's About Time, Too." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Jun 15, 2005
 
Batman Begins (2005)84%
/
2.5/5
 
"Better than you might expect. But given the ultimate source material (Frank Miller's moody and moving Daredevil comics from the mid-'80s), it's a squandering of character and story that would make Comic Book Guy weep." -- Jam! Movies

"The return of Spidey marks what could end up being the best action film of the summer, and quite possibly the best superhero movie ever made." -- Jam! Movies

Spider-Man 2 (2004)93%
/
3.5/5
 
"The soundtrack, by well-known African composer Youssou N'Dour, using only traditional instruments, lends to the film's timeless feel, like an age-old fable come to life." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Jun 4, 2004
 
Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998)96%
/
4/5
 
"The movie is so crammed full of lethally funny science fiction references that even hard-core Trekkers might miss some, and many regular folk will only hear them go whizzing overhead." -- Jam! Movies

"Whether you see it as a more-raunchy The Real World or a toned-down Girls Gone Wild, the reality of this reality movie is it's nothing we haven't seen before." -- Jam! Movies

The Real Cancun (2003)34%

"The occasional good moments -- and there are some, let's be fair -- get lost in a crowd of cliches and forced comedy." -- Jam! Movies

A Guy Thing (2003)25%

"Anyway, you should totally only see this if you want to check out the Angelina chick and stuff, because all the good stuff is in the preview thingy?" -- Jam! Movies

Extreme Ops (2002)6%
/
3/5
 
"The four male leads are so engaging, and their exploits laced with such slices of real life, that anyone who has been there, done that won't be able to help but have twinges of real feeling for the fresh-faced lads." -- Jam! Movies

American Pie (1999)60%

3.5/5
 
"As bloody or breathtaking or heroic as these gussied-up Hollywood depictions of armed human conflict might try to be, none of them capture the true hellacious chaos of war like Israeli director Amos Gitai's Kippur." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Sep 30, 2002
 
Kippur (2000)78%
/
3/5
 
"Undisputed is the kind of flick that could put hair on your chest and a swagger in your stride, assuming you don't actually drown in the testosterone that pours off the screen like the sweat flying from Ving Rhames's bald head." -- Jam! Movies
Posted Sep 6, 2002

"I'm all over the action in the movie, and the last half hour alone is literally worth the price of admission." -- Jam! Movies

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)67%

"Had Super Troopers spent more time on the drawing board, or had it been pared down to a half-hour short film, it might have been a scream." -- Jam! Movies

Super Troopers (2002)36%

"The mere fact that a 90-minute documentary about a corn farmer and his crops can manage to be both occasionally entertaining and thoroughly artistic makes Hybrid worth harvesting, if you're in the right farm -- err, frame -- of mind." -- Jam! Movies

"Less a traditional movie than a lyrical photo essay of fictional characters in a world so real it's almost surreal, George Washington deserves to be seen simply because it's not quite like anything that's come before." -- Jam! Movies

"Jurassic Park III tries to be nothing more than a mindless munch-crunch-thanks-a-bunch thrill ride. And expectations or not, it does a roaringly good job." -- Edmonton Sun

"While this completely computer-generated sci-fi tale breaks new ground visually, beneath its sleek digital surface lurks a dull and nonsensical mishmash of cliches, confusion and sterile characters." -- Edmonton Sun
