The Benchwarmers (2006) 13% 1/5 EDIT “There's also nothing funny in watching a grown man intentionally hit a kid in the chest with a sizzling line drive, or even worse, drop-kicking a 12-year-old catcher unconscious.” – Jam! Movies Apr 7, 2006 Full Review The Forgotten (2004) 31% 3/5 EDIT “It's fun ... trying to stay one step ahead of director Joseph Ruben (Sleeping With the Enemy), who plays the game well, even throwing in a couple of legitimate scares along the way.” – Jam! Movies Sep 24, 2004 Full Review Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) 66% 4/5 EDIT “With the ability to throw all caution -- and sometimes all clothes -- to the wind, Ferrell has that unique ability to be both funny and vulnerable at the same time, a quality that makes him hard not to like.” – Jam! Movies Jul 9, 2004 Full Review The Chronicles of Riddick (2004) 29% 3/5 EDIT “While it's impressive in scope and special effects, it comes across as a mish-mash of sci-fi films -- everything from Dune to Star Wars to Battlefield Earth.” – Jam! Movies Jun 11, 2004 Full Review Dogma (1999) 72% 4/5 EDIT “Jumping on the pre-millennium, end-of-the-world hype, Smith has chosen an opportune time to take a satirical and witty look at the shortcomings of organized religion.” – Jam! Movies Jun 8, 2004 Full Review Secret Window (2004) 46% 2.5/5 EDIT “A suspense thriller that is neither suspenseful nor thrilling.” – Jam! Movies Mar 12, 2004 Full Review The Passion of the Christ (2004) 49% 4/5 EDIT “Gibson has succeeded in making the definitive look at the final 12 hours in the life of Jesus, with a movie that is gut-wrenching in both its violence and inhumanity.” – Jam! Movies Feb 25, 2004 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 94% 4.5/5 EDIT “Peter Jackson, you bow to no one.” – Jam! Movies Dec 17, 2003 Full Review Underworld (2003) 30% 4/5 EDIT “A messy ball of pure, unadulterated comic book fun.” – Jam! Movies Sep 19, 2003 Full Review X2 (2003) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Like the original, X2 succeeds in that neither the writers nor actors treat the comic-book material, like, well, a comic book.” – Jam! Movies May 2, 2003 Full Review Dreamcatcher (2003) 27% 2/5 EDIT “Dreamcatchers, it is explained, are supposed to keep out the nightmares and let the good dreams through. Someone must have hung this one up backwards.” – Jam! Movies Mar 21, 2003 Full Review Tears of the Sun (2003) 34% 2.5/5 EDIT “Tears of the Sun would have been a much better film had it strictly focused on the band of Navy SEALs and the Willis character's struggle to find redemption in the refugees he's trying to save.” – Jam! Movies Mar 7, 2003 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 95% 5/5 EDIT “What's really scary is it will likely pale by comparison to the ultimate showdown in next year's final chapter.” – Jam! Movies Dec 18, 2002 Full Review The Tuxedo (2002) 22% 2/5 EDIT “Unlike past movies where Chan amazed us with his amazing physical prowess, here he resorts to wire tricks for his fight sequences.” – Jam! Movies Sep 27, 2002 Full Review Frailty (2001) 76% 3.5/5 EDIT “A movie that is brilliantly deceiving in its depth.” – Jam! Movies Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Resident Evil (2002) 36% 3/5 EDIT “If anyone could do justice to the hugely popular Resident Evil series ... it's Anderson.” – Jam! Movies Mar 15, 2002 Full Review The Time Machine (2002) 28% 2.5/5 EDIT “... Wells the director has created little more than a weak love story with some action thrown in to stop the movie-goers' time in the theatre from crawling.” – Jam! Movies Mar 8, 2002 Full Review The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 91% EDIT “Using rollercoaster pacing, Jackson milks the three-hour running time for all it's worth, the peaks and valleys of the adventure giving the characters, particularly Frodo, time to develop while allowing the audience time to catch its breath.” – Jam! Movies Dec 19, 2001 Full Review Jeepers Creepers (2001) 47% EDIT “The director chooses instead to take the easy way out by showing the gore in detail and letting the body count, instead of the tension, rise.” – Ottawa Sun Aug 31, 2001 Full Review The Score (2001) 74% EDIT “A movie about safecracking starring three giants of the industry should have been a blast, instead it just bombs.” – Ottawa Sun Jul 13, 2001 Full Review Evolution (2001) 44% EDIT “Evolution does boast impressive special effects and enough laughs to make it palatable. It's just not an improvement on the original as the title promises.” – Ottawa Sun Jun 8, 2001 Full Review Shrek (2001) 88% EDIT “Truly what a family film was meant to be -- a vehicle that has something for everyone.” – Jam! Movies May 18, 2001 Full Review Joe Dirt (2001) 9% EDIT “Like There's Something About Mary, it's really just a string of sight gags with little else going on in between. But there are several real belly laughs, and enough character development to make the rollercoaster ride worthwhile.” – Jam! Movies Apr 11, 2001 Full Review Spy Kids (2001) 92% EDIT “For kids, this is nothing but a guaranteed hit.” – Ottawa Sun Mar 30, 2001 Full Review 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001) 15% EDIT “If 3000 Miles To Graceland succeeds at anything it's in continuing the mediocrity attached to Elvis films. In fact this might be the worst one of them all.” – Ottawa Sun Feb 23, 2001 Full Review
