Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2008) |
"Miraculously fusing the scary and ridiculous, 'Freddy Kreuger' Englund steals this show, whether steamed up from that bad plumbing, dealing with complications of male pregnancy, or weirdly delighting as the reluctant glutton just eating your heart out." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis (2007) |
"Alternately bizarre and inspired, but an appropriate tribute to a visionary impossible to pigeonhole." |

Jamie Foxx Unleashed: Lost Stolen and Leaked! (2002) |
"Jamie Foxx - The Kingdom" |

The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"The premise lives or dies on the gamble that you can perform a dramatic transplant of the Austen moral and cultural sensibility from the prim etiquette of 19th century drawing room England to today's flighty LA swingers." |

Jazz in the Diamond District (2009) |
"Fame meets Flashdance in the Chocolate City!" |

Tomato |
JCVD (2008) |
"Switching it up from dumb and dumber action thrillers to smart alek moviemaking, JCVD is Van Damme's girlie man unplugged, and literally his own worst enemy. It's no Dog Day Afternoon, but still a sensitive tough guy mock reality show with balls." |

Jean-Luc Godard - Box Set (1982) |
"The Jean-Luc Godard Interview: Embracing the role of a reluctant icon, Godard took time off from his cigar-shrouded meditations in his hotel room to reflect cryptically on his past and future creative quests." |

Jellyfish (2008) |
"Like Amelie with an attitude, this sinister flick links strangers serendipitously, but with an almost shocking absence of naivete." |

Jennifer Lopez - Rebirth (2005) |

Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"What's all wrong here, is that this girl bonding and binging horror spree isn't funny enough, or sufficiently scary when it's supposed to be. Though Megan's teen fanboys should have their satisfied fill, especially those who crave babes with bite." |

Jerichow (2009) |
"How do you say 'Three's a crowd' auf Deutsch?" |

Jesus Politics (2008) |
"Jesus Politics: The Bible And The Ballot uncovers some unexpected revelations about religious influences on politics, not so much among Republicans and their evangelical supporters which is already well documented, but in the Democratic race." |

Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007) |

John Waters Collection Volume 1, The - Hairspray/ Pecker (1988) |
"Travolta as bosomy mom Edna in perky fat suit, with flab-infatuated spouse Walken never far behind, pretty much steals the show from everybody else as he impressively shakes his bountiful booty across the dance floor." |
Prairie Miller |
Splat 1/4 |
Jonas Brothers - The Concert Experience (2009) |
"Fascinating only for the opportunity to observe the mesmerizing effect of a well-rehearsed, mass seduction on an auditorium filled with willing, adoring girls." |
Kam Williams |

Joshua (2007) |
"The kid scarefest creepy concept here is the perfect child, a well mannered, talented and freaky miniature adult. But the story feels abruptly cut off before its designated ending, so don't be surprised if Joshua returns for a premeditated sequel." |
Prairie Miller |

Joshua (2007) |
"The stress that mounts throughout this strangely tame and quietly spooky horror thriller has a masterfully palpable asphyxiating mood to it that the director exploits for maximum audience discomfort and unrelieved dread." |

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) |
"Many of the engaging scenes can be enjoyed the old fashioned way, minus the 3D glasses, simply for the sheer infusion of wacky humor and that playful force of personality Fraser provides. Who knew science fiction and comedy could reactivate Jules Verne." |
Prairie Miller |

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) |
"Brendan Fraser's playful force of personality rules, 3D or no 3D, one of the few funny guys who could grab attention away from a dinosaur in assault mode, in the center of the earth or anywhere else on the planet." |

Julia (2008) |
"Swinton masterfully pours much more than her heart into her drunken damsel in distress performance in this gin drenched drama. But the audience is unfortunately left to languish without a clue, as to how she ended up that way and who she may be when sober" |

Julie & Julia (2009) |

Julie & Julia (2009) |
"A refreshingly-charming take on an enduring cultural icon and a lady now likely to go down in history as her #1 fan." |

Tomato |
Julie & Julia (2009) |
"A hi-carb generation gap gourmet outing contrasting elders hooked on sex, souffle and espionage with postmodern workaholic, too tired for romance youth. Though what's served up is basically Julia a la carte." |
