Taken as science fiction, it never makes much sense or makes you care much about it." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      The Jacket (2005)      "What we get is mostly a convoluted tale that tries hard to seem far more important than it is. In fact, it's all rather banal and sentimental." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      Jailhouse Rock (1957)      "...the filmmakers are savvy enough to build their movie around music, much of it pure rock-and-roll. (HD DVD Edition)" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      Jailhouse Rock (1957)      "Even if the plot is thin, the characterizations are solid, and the music is some of Elvis's best." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       6/10      James Cagney: Signature Collection (1940)      "...a lot of folks forget that he played in an equal number of straight dramatic roles, light comedies, romantic comedies, and musicals." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       6/10      James Cagney: Signature Collection (1940)      "Since Warner Bros. already showed us his darker side in their (previous) box sets, this time out they show us a broader picture of the actor's ability..." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       8/10      Jane Eyre (1944)      "Jane Eyre has seen no fewer than eighteen screen adaptations, none of them better than this 1944 production with Joan Fontaine and Orson Welles." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       8/10      Jane Eyre (1944)      "...that this Jane Eyre is more Orson Welles's movie than co-star Joan Fontaine's or director Robert Stevenson's may be a blessing in disguise." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       10/10      Jaws (1975)      "...a classic, action-adventure monster movie, maybe the best ever made." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       10/10      Jaws (1975)      "Jaws is one of those gems of moviemaking where every facet is perfect. (30th Anniversary Edition)" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)      "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back never offended or insulted me; it mostly just bored me." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)      "...a rather crude, strongly self-indulgent, and often repetitious comedy that, nonetheless, was largely amiable and good-natured." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      The Jazz Singer (1927)      "...a landmark film, and it's good to have it in so good a restored digital print and with so good a restored soundtrack. (Three-Disc Deluxe Edition)" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      The Jazz Singer (1927)      "...there's no taking away from the movie's heart and Jolson's singing. The Jazz Singer remains a classic of its kind." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      JCVD (2008)      "...amusing, insightful, touching, truthful, and ultimately entertaining, even if it drags toward the end. (Blu-ray Edition)" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      JCVD (2008)      " ...not your usual Van Damme movie...and a refreshing change of pace for the actor." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       6/10      Jeepers Creepers (2001)      "...takes an enduring monster-movie premise, starts to rework it promisingly, and then drops the ball and falls back on trite, stereotyped action until we finally stop caring." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       6/10      Jeepers Creepers (2001)      "...a surplus of clichéd segments, stereotyped characters, and a nowhere ending." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       4/10      Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)      "...just another monster flick, with most of its budget going into the Creeper's makeup." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       4/10      Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003)      "It gets sillier as it goes along and ends up being corny. Famous last words: 'It looks dead to me.' If only." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       8/10      JFK (1991)      "...if you can forget some of the hyperbole, JFK comes off as a first-rate mystery thriller." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       8/10      JFK (1991)      "...it's a darned good movie, with the Blu-ray Director's Cut adding another quarter of a hour to the running time. (Blu-ray Digibook Edition)" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       6/10      Joan Crawford Collection Vol. 2      "...the set should interest anyone who enjoys older films." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       6/10      Joan Crawford Collection Vol. 2      "...will no doubt interest any fan of the star." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Joe Somebody (2001)      "It's not an offensively dumb film, mind you, but it doesn't reach very far, either. As I say, a TV sitcom." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Joe Somebody (2001)      "...viewed as something like an expanded television sitcom, the film works pretty well, but do you really want to spend any more than thirty minutes time with it?" [movie review]      DVDTown.com       3/10      John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001)      "...mostly dull, formulaic gore, which high definition does nothing to improve. (Blu-ray Edition)" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       3/10      John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001)      "Mad Max Heads for the Angry Red Planet on a Pitch Black Night of the Living Dead." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      John Wayne Film Collection      "...to be fair, there really are some good moments in the set." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      John Wayne Film Collection      "they are not among the Duke's biggest hits. But for the dedicated John Wayne fan, no film is too small or too dumb." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Johnny Dangerously (1984)      "The jokes are largely silly, sometimes juvenile, and they come faster at the start of the movie than at the end." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Johnny Dangerously (1984)      "...the film doesn't just run out of laughs; it becomes positively leaden by the last half hour." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)      "...solid family fun...good juvenile entertainment that adults can appreciate, too." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)      "...rather juvenile...with many of its shots intended more to show off the 3-D process than to further its story line." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)      "...the most outstanding feature of the movie is its remarkably evocative musical score, composed by Bernard Herrmann." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)      "For this adult...it was a chore, in 2-D or 3-D, and not even the high definition helped. (2-D/3-D Blu-ray Edition)" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      Joy Ride (2001)      "...almost nonstop tension and excitement, while never grievously insulting the viewer’s intelligence." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      Joy Ride (2001)      "...a galvanizing amusement-park ride that only occasionally steps over the bounds of common sense." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Jump In! (2006)      "It's movies like Jump In! that make me appreciate Dodgeball all the more." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       5/10      Jump In! (2006)      "...about half of the film's eighty-five minutes is given over to jump roping and music. I tell you, a little jump roping goes a long ways." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      The Jungle Book (1967)      "...an amiable, easygoing tale, long on charm if short on edge, excitement, or suspense. (Platinum Edition)" [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       7/10      The Jungle Book (1967)      "...the characters, music, and animation more than make up for any shortcomings, and the result is pleasant entertainment for everyone." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       4/10      Jungle Book 2 (2003)      "...nobody thought to provide the new movie with anything fresh in the way of a plot or music." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       4/10      Jungle Book 2 (2003)      "...a pale imitation of the original that mainly updates the graphics without adding any new wrinkles to the story or characters." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       8/10      Jurassic Park (1993)      "...short on logic and certainly short on plot, but long on thrills and amazement." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       8/10      Jurassic Park (1993)      "It doesn't matter that the story line is slight or the characters underdeveloped. The dinos are what we come to see, and the dinos are what we get." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       2/10      Just Married (2003)      "...nails the lowest possible IQ in the audience by being as insipid as it is boring." [movie review]      DVDTown.com       2/10      Just Married (2003)      "...banal chatter, glaring insults, and juvenile slapstick. It's only the movie's PG-13 rating that saves it from being grossly crude, as well." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       4/10      Juwanna Mann (2002)      "Juwanna man? No, we wanna good laugh." [dvd review]      DVDTown.com       4/10      Juwanna Mann (2002)      "...about as exciting to watch as two last-place basketball teams playing one another on the final day of the season." [movie review]      DVDTown.com
