Long Time Running (2017) 88% 4.5/5 EDIT “Hip fans will enjoy not only the behind-the-scenes footage of Downie getting ready for each night's show on the trek but the entire group's collective memory of their 30-year personal and professional journey.” – Toronto Sun Sep 14, 2017 Full Review The Gift (2015) 91% 3.5/5 EDIT “Edgerton not only wrote the movie but makes an impressive directorial debut with the ripe-for-discussion subject matter of bullying and its after-effects.” – Toronto Sun Aug 7, 2015 Full Review Dirty Girl (2010) 35% 3/5 EDIT “A funny, poignant if slightly uneven coming-of-age story.” – Jam! Movies Oct 21, 2011 Full Review Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) 61% 2.5/5 EDIT “Much like its pedestrian title, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark fails to really scare.” – Jam! Movies Aug 26, 2011 Full Review Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest (2011) 90% 4/5 EDIT “It's a doozy.” – Jam! Movies Jul 29, 2011 Full Review The Smurfs (2011) 21% 3/5 EDIT “I can tell you the end result is pretty cute.” – Jam! Movies Jul 29, 2011 Full Review Zookeeper (2011) 13% 1.5/5 EDIT “A 21st century Dr. Dolittle, Zookeeper is not.” – Jam! Movies Jul 8, 2011 Full Review Happythankyoumoreplease (2010) 42% 2/5 EDIT “The territory has been well mined, most famously in Reality Bites and Garden State.” – Jam! Movies Apr 1, 2011 Full Review Phil Ochs: There But for Fortune (2010) 97% 4/5 EDIT “First-time filmmakers Wes Orshoski and Greg Olliver trained their cameras on Lemmy for three years and the results paid off.” – Jam! Movies Feb 18, 2011 Full Review Conviction (2010) 67% 3/5 EDIT “Ultimately, there's just not much tension or drama evident in a film that should be rife with it.” – Jam! Movies Oct 15, 2010 Full Review Mesrine: Part 1 - Death Instinct (2008) 81% 3.5/5 EDIT “You know you've got a really good bio-pic on your hands when it takes two movies to the tell the whole story.” – Jam! Movies Aug 13, 2010 Full Review Dinner for Schmucks (2010) 42% 3.5/5 EDIT “That the film would be funny, at times hilarious, despite having the potential to be needlessly cruel, is not exactly a surprise given the two actors' proven chemistry in those prior films.” – Jam! Movies Jul 30, 2010 Full Review Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2010) 54% 1.5/5 EDIT “Sadly, it often comes across more like a low-budget series of gross-out sketches.” – Jam! Movies Mar 19, 2010 Full Review Cop Out (2010) 18% 3/5 EDIT “While still a rude, crude and chatty man film, as Smith's movies often are, Cop Out works.” – Jam! Movies Feb 26, 2010 Full Review Creation (2009) 47% EDIT “You'd think "the biggest single idea in the history of thought" might produce a film that would reflect that importance. Instead, director Jon Amiel turns Creation into a slow moving, somewhat dour costume drama.” – Jam! Movies Jan 22, 2010 Full Review Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (2009) 21% 2.5/5 EDIT “An oddly entertaining, if mindless, way to spend an hour and a half on a Saturday morning with a seven-year-old.” – Jam! Movies Dec 23, 2009 Full Review Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) 81% 4/5 EDIT “Anyone who's a strict admirer of his musical talent, will want to observe the master -- he wasn't called The King Of Pop for nothing -- at work.” – Jam! Movies Oct 28, 2009 Full Review The Damned United (2009) 92% 3.5/5 EDIT “Their close, symbiotic relationship is the film's linchpin and the final scene where the estranged, gruff men finally make up, almost like sweethearts, has to be seen to be believed -- yet somehow Sheen and Spall manage to pull it off.” – Jam! Movies Oct 16, 2009 Full Review Flow: For Love of Water (2008) 80% 3.5/5 EDIT “One thing is for sure: after you watch Flow, you'll think about that next glass of water you drink or that next shower or bath you have and not take either of them for granted.” – Jam! Movies Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Max Payne (2008) 16% 1.5/5 EDIT “Let's hope next time they get a literate script, an engaging plot, a better-suited supporting cast and a more restrained director.” – Jam! Movies Oct 17, 2008 Full Review Patti Smith: Dream of Life (2008) 68% 3.5/5 EDIT “Dream of Life takes a while to find its rhythm but once it does, it's riveting stuff.” – Jam! Movies Sep 26, 2008 Full Review Under the Same Moon (2007) 71% 4/5 EDIT “The power of the mother-son bond is given tender-hearted treatment in Under The Same Moon, an impressive first feature from Mexican filmmaker Patricia Riggen.” – Jam! Movies Apr 4, 2008 Full Review The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2006) 81% 3/5 EDIT “A gentle coming-of-age film set in 1970 Brazil.” – Jam! Movies Mar 28, 2008 Full Review College Road Trip (2008) 13% 1/5 EDIT “What could have been a fun, lightweight family flick -- this is from Disney after all -- turns out to be a hammy, not-very-clever waste of time.” – Jam! Movies Mar 7, 2008 Full Review Mad Money (2008) 22% 2.5/5 EDIT “Mad Money is ultimately more frustrating than infuriating. Call it Maddening Money.” – Jam! Movies Jan 18, 2008 Full Review
