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 |

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 |

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 Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006) | "
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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 Posted Jan 14, 2005 |
