Gary Dowell |
Splat |
Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"It's jolting that such a potentially life-affirming movie could be so lifeless." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B- |
Japanese Story (2004) |
"Collette truly has a face the camera loves, and her expressiveness gives substance and symmetry to the uneven Japanese Story." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B |
Jarhead (2005) |
"Jarhead will leave many viewers satisfied and others scratching their heads. But everybody will be asking questions." |
Philip Wuntch |

Jason X (2002) |

Gary Dowell |
Splat |
Jawbreaker (1998) |
"It's a tired lousy movie, a terrible twosome that deserves your heartfelt indifference." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"A master of the medium shot, [Smith] plops his camera down and records reel after reel of amateurish visuals and partially realized high concepts held afloat by puerile geek humor." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato B |
Jay Z - Fade to Black (2004) |
"Certainly a boon for Jay-Z fans." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato |
Jeepers Creepers (2001) |

Gary Dowell |
Splat D+ |
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"A limp sequel." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"It's a fun premise -- a twist on the usual girl-in-distress scenario of the standard-issue horror film -- enlivened by Codyspeak." |
Cary Darling |
Splat D |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"Despite all indications that he would make a fun drinking buddy, Ben Affleck, teen idol, Oscar-winning screenwriter, can't act his way out of a paper bag." |

"An unabashed chick flick that guys can enjoy." |
Philip Wuntch |

Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood (2004) |
"The film's humor generally falls flat, and its tone becomes self-congratulatory. Not that congratulations are in order." |

Tomato B+ |
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) |
"The gang at DNA shows a knack for capturing the limitless wonder and imagination we draw upon in childhood." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato B+ |
Jindabyne (2007) |
"It's hard not to admire the film's confidence in making the story its own, and Ms. Linney, a mix of iron will and emotional fragility, delivers her usual complex performance." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat |
Joe Dirt (2001) |
"Since the script was co-written by Mr. Spade (along with long-time SNL head writer Fred Wolf) he really has only himself to blame for being involved in such a mess." |
Gary Dowell |
Splat |
Joe Somebody (2001) |
"Joe Somebody is such a lightweight film it's like watching a smoke ring -- just about the time you start to pay attention, it gets all fuzzy and floats away." |
Tom Maurstad |
Splat |
John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001) |
"It's distressingly amateurish and hackneyed to the point of absurdity." |
Gary Dowell |
Splat D+ |
John Q (2002) |
"The movie sets up a skirmish between the earnest and the ridiculous, and we're lucky that the collision provides some yuks." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat C+ |
Johnny English (2003) |
"Johnny English will delight those who arrive already convinced that they'll laugh uproariously at every slapstick gag and every misused word. But it won't convince the rest of us." |

Johnson Family Vacation (2004) |
"The film does have some funny moments, but they don't come consistently." |
Matt Weitz |
Tomato B |
Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie (2002) |
"One thing you have to give them credit for: The message of the movie is consistent with the messages espoused in the company's previous video work." |
Nancy Churnin |

Joshua (2002) |

Ju-On: The Grudge (2004) |
"One of the freakiest, most unsettling movies to come out of Japan in the past few years." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Julie & Julia (2009) |
"From Child's warbling, New England-by-way-of-Paris voice to her towering yet curiously lighthearted physical presence, Streep gets everything technically right about the woman." |
Christopher Kelly |
Tomato |
Juliet of the Spirits (1965) |
"A dazzling technical achievement, from the color to the tracking shots that delight in running down every detail of Juliet's companions." |
Chris Vognar |

Jurassic Park III (2001) |

Just Married (2003) |
"A little too lacking in sophistication to really stand out." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato B- |
Just My Luck (2006) |
"Throw in a hot new British bubblegum band, McFly, a bit of magic, romance, humor and a happy ending, and you've got a good, old-fashioned escapist popcorn flick." |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato |
Just Visiting (2001) |
"Fairly entertaining, albeit in a bland sort of way." |
Gary Dowell |

Juwanna Mann (2002) |
