The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"Austen wrote six novels and The Jane Austen Book Club is about six people who meet to discuss them over the course of six months. 666. Coincidence? I think not." |

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"Though it's every bit as dialogue intensive as Smith's other films, it lacks any pretence of relevance or intelligence that make his self-indulgent rambling occasionally bearable." |

Jeepers Creepers (2001) |
"It is stylish and atmospheric; despite some problems with motivation, its main character duo is sympathetic and credible." |

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"Not consistent enough in its lore to merit much conversation, not gory enough to appall, not titillating, not scary, not exciting, a little too long. . ." |

John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001) |
"The most disturbing thing about an aggressively tame production is the suspicion that John Carpenter has been taken over by one of his own mindless zombie Martians." |
