Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2008) |
"With a Buffy-like title and a poster that recalls Bruce Campbell at his buffest, Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer should have horror fans eager for a little low-budget monster mash chomping at the bit. They won't be disappointed." |

Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"Belongs in the too-hot-for-TV direct-to-video/DVD category, and this is why I have given it a one-star rating." |

The Jacket (2005) |
"Apparently, there's a lot less to this picture than meets the eye." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jackie Brown (1997) |
"Beyond the grasp of most directors, this is tour de force stuff -- definitely meriting the price of admission and almost worth the three-year wait." |

Jalla! Jalla! (2000) |
"It's a first feature from a young director, and still has a bit of film-school gawkiness about it. But there's talent here, and probably better films to come." |

Jandek - Jandek on Corwood (2004) |
"Ostensibly a documentary about a reclusive enigmatic outsider recording artist, Jandek on Corwood is actually a revealing portrait of outsider music nerds." |

The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"The Jane Austen Book Club could be the start of a genre." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Japanese Story (2004) |
"Lots of pictures begin strongly only to lose their focus; this one gains momentum with every sequence -- ambivalent at first, we're firmly hooked by the final frame." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"A war picture that, trying to pass off fidelity to the book as objectivity, sacrifices any voice of its own, and ends up not knowing what to think." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Jason X (2002) |
"As we have come to learn -- as many times as we have fingers to count on -- Jason is a killer who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'quit.' The filmmakers might want to look it up." |

Jawbreaker (1998) |
"Not quite a satire, not quite an homage, Jawbreaker falls into a third category: audaciously unoriginal." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"Not clever enough for Smith fans, not gross enough to compete on the Farrelly brothers' ground, the movie feels like a kind of self-congratulatory fake." |

Jay Z - Fade to Black (2004) |

JCVD (2008) |

Jellyfish (2008) |
"Thematically, it's extremely precise, and one of its most compelling themes is the failure, or uselessness, of language." |

Jennifer's Body (2009) |

Jersey Girl (2004) |

Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood (2004) |
"Short's fans should wait for the DVD, where they can skip to the good scenes, which amount to 24 minutes of ace material -- perhaps not coincidentally, the same length as an old SCTV episode." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007) |
"Demme subtly portrays Carter's love affair with wife Rosalynn, and succeeds where Carter's book failed -- expertly and objectively making a movie that is provocative without being divisive." |

Jindabyne (2007) |
"There's something dreadfully wrong when the picture shows signs of completely misunderstanding, or choosing to ignore, the dead moral centre of Carver's story. Why, then, bother to adapt it?" |

Jonas Brothers - The Concert Experience (2009) |
