Fresh A	Fresh 90%	Band of Brothers (2001)	Click here to read article — FilmJerk.com DVD REVIEW Posted Jun 1, 2006
N/A	Fresh 69%	Criminal (2004)	" The script works in spades overall, bringing viewers an enjoyable look into this shadowy world and making it truly something that can be termed "con artistry."" — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Dec 22, 2003
N/A	Fresh 93%	Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)	" Kaufman has a great concept for this film, but I feel as if he ultimately misses his mark here...[but] it still seems as if something is missing." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Dec 22, 2003
N/A	Rotten 42%	The Village (2004)	" Knowing the pedigree of the film makes the reader more attuned to what is to come� I was able to guess the twist within the first 40 pages." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Dec 22, 2003
N/A	Rotten 21%	Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)	" There were many points throughout the script that I was rolling my eyes in anticipation of what would happen next...[The script] could have been far better." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Dec 22, 2003
N/A	Fresh 69%	Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)	" Should the film stick to the same zany tone that "Zoolander" exhibited, we're looking at a big sleeper for summer 2004-- the bells and whistles here make this a gem." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Dec 22, 2003
Fresh B+	Fresh 91%	School of Rock (2003)	" "Capturing the whirling dervish that is Jack Black in a bottle, he gives the film his best performance caught on celluloid yet."" — FilmJerk.com Posted Aug 28, 2003
Fresh	N/A	Futurama - Volume 2 (2000)	" *For those who love animation and The Simpsons, [Futrama Volume 2] is well worth investing in and sure to be a keeper..." — DVDFanatic.com* Posted Aug 27, 2003
Rotten	Fresh 94%	National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)	" The only thing that makes this package stand out from previous formats is the feature-length group commentary... Warner Bros. turns in a rather pedestrian effort here." — DVDFanatic.com DVD REVIEW Posted Aug 18, 2003
Rotten D+	Fresh 88%	28 Days Later (2003)	" The first act shows a raw intensity� so much so, I was ready for a cigarette after the first 30 minutes...unfortunately, the remainder fails to live up to its opening scenes." — FilmJerk.com Posted May 19, 2003
N/A	Rotten 36%	2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)	" It isn�t Academy Award material by any stretch of the imagination, of course, but it works for what is: a summer film for the 18 � 29 demographic." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted May 4, 2003
N/A	Fresh 88%	X2: X-Men United (2003)	" In the end, I liked this script in much the same way I enjoyed the first film as a popcorn flick. It doesn�t aspire to be more...General audiences will have trouble...keeping the many characters straight." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Feb 3, 2003
N/A	Fresh 62%	Identity (2003)	" Having read the twist-laden script, I believe that Sony executives have a potential sleeper on their hands...Film aficionados are likely to pick up that the film contains a very similar plot to Agatha Christie�s "10 Little Indians."" — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Dec 23, 2002
N/A	Rotten 55%	The Girl Next Door (2004)	" "The Girl Next Door" is not here to save the genre and, without some major work done on the script, is destined to arrive as limp at the box office as its predecessors." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Dec 10, 2002
N/A	Rotten 23%	Havana Nights (2004)	" I was expecting very little from this script, and it raised my expectations for the film greatly...It molds a great deal of the franchise's first film and makes an even more compelling film than the original." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Nov 23, 2002
Fresh A	Fresh 90%	Band of Brothers (2001)	" One of entertainment's most ambitious and critically-lauded undertakings in 2001...What makes this stand apart from previous collections HBO has introduced is its delicious packaging." — FilmJerk.com Posted Oct 28, 2002
N/A	Fresh 78%	25th Hour (2002)	" "The novel is a riveting, taut attempt for a first-timer, and has an amazing ear for dialogue that should translate well to the film...While this [dark tone] may work for the novel, I�m not so sure that it�ll work with general audiences." — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Oct 21, 2002
Fresh B	Fresh 71%	The Ring (2002)	" 'The American version of the film is as taut and as gripping a film as the original...Bojan Bazelli�s cinematography is top-notch, as is the tight editing by Craig Wood." — FilmJerk.com Posted Oct 11, 2002
Fresh B+	Rotten 44%	The Rules of Attraction (2002)	" "This film is extremely faithful to the spirit of the 1987 novel...Roger Avary has done a masterful job of adapting a book that doesn�t allow itself to be easily shifted to celluloid." — FilmJerk.com Posted Sep 27, 2002
N/A	Fresh 60%	Secondhand Lions (2003)	" "Had I not known that The Iron Giant and New Line's forthcoming Secondhand Lions shared the same screenwriter in Tim McCanlies, I most likely would have written off Lions as the work of a first-timer still in the process of honing his craft..."" — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Sep 19, 2002
N/A	Rotten 16%	The Big Bounce (2004)	" *Even though the name Jack Ryan is a familiar one to most filmgoers, clear from your head of the hero you had met in The Hunt for Red October* and Clear & Present Danger.*" — FilmJerk.com* PREVIEW Posted Sep 17, 2002
N/A	Rotten 44%	The Rules of Attraction (2002)	" "Avary has done a great bit of conceptual casting here, as these are all actors that are known for their specific roles�mostly in teen-oriented product....should be an interesting film."" — FilmJerk.com PREVIEW Posted Dec 7, 2001
