Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005) 79% 3.5/5 EDIT “Despite all of its impressive slam-bang, almost wall-to-wall action and awe-inspiring special effects, Episode III, though head and shoulders above the other prequels, is crippled by poor scripting and logic.” – Jam! Movies May 17, 2005 Full Review Hulk (2003) 63% 3/5 EDIT “An oddity as far as summer blockbusters go.” – Jam!

Movies May 7, 2003 Full Review The Bourne Identity (2002) 84% 4/5 EDIT “The Bourne Identity is a firm foundation for an espionage film franchise that could very well decommission Fleming's Bond or Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan.” – Jam!

Movies Jul 18, 2001 Full Review A.I.: Artificial Intelligence (2001) 76% EDIT “It falters in trying to accomplish its primary objective and that is to make us feel for David Swinton.” – Jam! Movies Jun 29, 2001 Full Review Swordfish (2001) 27% EDIT “Far better than your typical, predictable Hollywood shoot-em-up.” – Jam! Movies Jun 8, 2001 Full Review Pearl Harbor (2001) 24% EDIT “The rationale behind the making of Pearl Harbor is so transparent it's embarrassing.” – Jam! Movies May 25, 2001 Full Review Angel Eyes (2001) 32% EDIT “Mandoki and Di Pego take too long to get the motor running and by the time they do, we've run out of patience and hitched a ride home.” – Jam!

Movies Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Apt Pupil (1998) 54% EDIT “King fans will be outraged denouncing the filmmakers as gutless flakes smothering the true horror of Apt Pupil so the film would be more acceptable to the general public.” – Jam!
