Jack and Jill (PG)
USA 2011 91 mins Dir: Denis Dugan Starring: Adam Sandler, Al Pacino, Katie Holmes What could be more annoying than Adam Sandler? Why two Adam Sandlers, of course - one of them 'hilariously' done up in drag. Having…03.02.2012 READ MORE -

Jackass 3D (18) **
(Dir: Jeff Tremaine, 2010, 94 mins) Basically, ‘Jackass 3D’ is ‘A Serbian Film’ or ‘The Human Centipede’ – only after every anal atrocity, sufferers have to grin through their pain and take it all in good sport. Spun…03.11.2010 READ MORE -
Jackass Number Two (18) ****
(Dir: Jeff Tremaine, 95 mins) How do you top that first ‘Jackass’ flick? Why, come up with some reckless stunts that are even more idiotic, violent and revolting, of course. Like its predecessor, this doesn’t really…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jackass: The Movie (18) ***
(Dir: Jeff Tremaine, 85 mins) Nobody comes to ‘Jackass’ without knowing what to expect. Those who disapprove will stay away. On the other hand, anyone attracted by the prospect of a grown man shitting himself so…18.08.2010 READ MORE -

(Dir: Edward and Rory McHenry, 2010, 93 mins) Filmed in ‘Glorious Panzervision’, this British alternate history puppet animation benefits from a bit of swearing, a sex scene and a stellar voice cast (Ewan McGregor,…06.10.2010 READ MORE -
Jacket, The (15) **

Jackie Brown (18) *****
(Dir: Quentin Tarantino, 154 mins) Tarantino’s gentle tweaking of Elmore Leonard’s novel neutralises the danger of racially polarising its good and evil characters by transforming blonde Jackie Burke into black Jackie…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
James and the Giant Peach (U) *****
Roald Dahl considered this story of an orphan who flees his horrendous old aunts inside a large succulent fruit the most unfilmable of all his books, but then he never met Henry Selick, director of ‘The Nightmare before…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jane Austen Book Club, The (12A) *
(Dir: Robin Swicord, 2007, 105 mins) If the title sets your teeth on edge, be warned that it’s the least grating thing about this adaptation of the chicklit bestseller, which hijacks the novels of Jane Austen to wallow…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jane Eyre (PG)

Jane Eyre (PG) ***

Janice Beard: 45 wpm (15) *
(Dir: Clare Kilmer, 81 mins) This feeble and largely mirthless would-be whimsical comedy provides yet another opportunity to ponder the question: what has happened to Rhys Ifans's career? Janice Beard (newcomer Eileen…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Japanese Story (15) ****
(Dir: Sue Brooks , 105 mibs) Culture-clash comedy, odd-couple road movie, chalk’n’cheese romance, and gripping thriller. Sue Brooks’s elegantly written and superbly acted outback drama is certainly the first three of…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Japon (18) **
(Dir: Carlos Reygadas, 129 mins) Thirty-year-old Carlos Reygadas’s first feature is one of those long, slow, contemplative art movies that divide audiences. Even those who are partial to this stuff may find his heavily…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jar City (15) ****
(Dir: Baltasar Kormakur, 2006, 95 mins, subtitles) Superficially, Baltasar Kormakur’s follow-up to his impressive ‘101 Reykjavik’ is an upmarket cold case review police procedural in the style of ‘New Tricks’ or ‘Waking…08.07.2010 READ MORE -
Jarhead (15) ***
(Dir: Sam Mendes, 123 mins) Everything about ‘Jarhead’ will remind you of other, superior movies. The Gulf War was tackled with much more cynicism and pitch-black humour in ‘Three Kings’. The bored, pumped-up grunts…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jason X (15) *
(Dir: James Isaac, 92 mins) Hockey-masked Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder), you'll recall, was the most reactionary of the late seventies/early eighties slasher glut. Like the provisional wing of the US Moral Majority, he'd…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (18) **
(Dir: Kevin Smith, 104 mins) Kevin Smith has said that this will be his last film with the New Jersey dope dealers, played by Jason Mewes and himself, who have popped up throughout his work since 'Clerks'. The in-joke…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jealous God, The (12A) *
(Dir: Steven Woodcock, 90 mins) Plucky Manchester-based indie North Country Pictures’ brave manifesto asserts that it is “putting the quality back into British drama”. Who wouldn’t applaud that? Alas, the cold, hard…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jeepers Creepers (15) ***
(Dir: Victor Salva, 90 mins) It's got a stupid title, a cheesy payoff and never really delivers on its initial promise, but Victor Salva’s low-budget horror flick remains a refreshingly thrilling, irony-free ride whose…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jeepers Creepers 2 (15) ***
(Dir: Victor Salva, 103 mins) In common with most creature features, ‘Jeepers Creepers’ sustained its tension right up until the moment we got to see the Creeper, who turned out to be a rather silly winged monster with…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jeffery (18) ***
Billed as ‘When Harry Met Harry’, this gay romantic comedy shares its straight counterpart’s will-they, won’t-they plot and occasionally very funny moments, washed down with a fair dose of sentimentality. The eponymous…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jennifer’s Body (15) ***
(Dir: Karyn Kusama, 2009, 102 mins) ‘Juno’ writer Diablo Cody’s teen horror flick is a gift to publicists who can play the old “female take on a male-dominated genre” card to the broadsheets while selling the lipstick…08.07.2010 READ MORE -

Jersey Girl (12A) **
(Dir: Kevin Smith, 102 mins) Now notorious as the film in which Jennifer Lopez had to be killed off as quickly as possible to avoid reminding punters of the ‘Gigli’ disaster, this is more likely to alarm fans of…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jesus' Son (18) ****
(Dir: Alison Maclean, 109 mins) Kiwi director Alison Maclean distils Denis Johnson's cult short story collection into a time-hopping, blackly comic, often surreal and sometimes unexpectedly touching fable of early '70s…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Jimmy Neutron - Boy Genius (U) ***

Jingle All The Way (PG) *
(Dir: Brian Levant, 82 mins) Arnie, children and broad comedy made such a hideous combination in ‘Kindergarten Cop’, you can’t imagine why he wanted to repeat the mix. But here it is, and what’s worse it’s a…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Joan of Arc (15) ***
(Dir: Luc Besson, 160 mins) French director Luc Besson's first film since the unbelievably shite 'Fifth Element' is a more conventional historical biopic. And what better subject than the fearsome Frenchwoman who kicked…18.08.2010 READ MORE -

Jonah Hex (15) **
(Dir: Jimmy Hayward, 2010, 83 mins) Obviously, this didn’t work out the way the studio wanted. It’s one of a run of films based on second-rank comic book characters (Jonah starred in DC’s superbly-titled Weird Western…16.09.2010 READ MORE -
Jonas Brothers:The 3D Concert Experience (U) **
(Dir: Bruce Hendricks, 2009, 76 mins) Sworn Christian virgins Kevin, Joe and Nick are the antiseptically wholesome poster boys for Stepford America, the latest pre-packaged personality-free product of the Disney pop…08.07.2010 READ MORE -

Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D (PG) ****
(Dir: Eric Brevig, 2008, 92 mins) This isn’t a full-on, period-set version of Jules Verne’s much-loved yarn, like the well-remembered James Mason film from 1959, but, rather surprisingly, sticks closer to the details of…08.07.2010 READ MORE -
Joy Division (15) ****

(Dir: Nora Ephron, 2009, 123 mins) You don’t have to be a foodie to enjoy Nora Ephron’s film about two very different women driven by a shared passion for French cuisine, but it certainly helps. Julie Powell (Amy Adams)…08.07.2010 READ MORE -

Jumper (12A) **
(Dir: Doug Liman, 2008, 88 mins) Adapted from the novel by Steven Gould, ‘Jumper’ feels like it ought to be a two-hour sci-fi mind-boggler in the tradition of ‘The Matrix’. But exposition seems to have been crudely…08.07.2010 READ MORE -
Junebug (15) ***

(Dir: Jason Reitman, 2007, 91 mins) A sharply-scripted, nimbly cliché-circumnavigating black comedy, bristling with razor-sharp dialogue and boasting an unforced message, which has been misinterpreted by didactic…08.07.2010 READ MORE -
Jurassic Park III (PG) **
(Dir: Joe Johnston, 91 mins) The first problem faced by the scriptwriters of this lacklustre sequel was how to get poor old Sam Neill back on that damned island. This they do by having him tricked by apparently wealthy…18.08.2010 READ MORE -

Just Like Heaven (PG) **
(Dir: Mark Waters, 95 mins) Mark Waters breathed fresh life into the teencom genre with his agreeably astringent ‘Mean Girls’, so hopes were high that he could do the same for the post-corporeal romcom. Sadly, this…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Just Married (12A) *
(Dir: Shawn Levy, 95 mins) If in doubt, hit someone, break stuff or fall over. Yes, this depressingly witless comedy boasts more slapstick than we’ve seen on screen in a very long time. It’s an experience made all the…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Just My Luck (PG) *
(Dir: Donald Petrie, 103 mins) Take the premise of that great arthouse flick ‘Intacto’ and dumb it down to tweencom level for another lazy Lindsay Lohan vehicle. Now add Brit boyband McFly in their first movie role and…18.08.2010 READ MORE -
Just Visiting (PG) *
