This is a list of the 40 movies of the last ten years that affected me the most. They aren’t the “best” movies by any stretch of the imagination (Even the stubborn narcissist in me can’t call movies 22, 23 or 27 “good”), just the ones that moved me, entertained me, and enlightened me. [...]

Things For Which The Jay Is Putting A Ring On It
After taking under advisement Beyo-err… Sasha Fierce’s sage advice that “if you like than you should have put a ring on it”, and worried that I might possibly have offended that which I hold quite dear by NOT putting a ring on it yet, even though I love it so, I would like to take [...]

You’re enjoying your wizarding day, every spell is going your way, the along comes Harry Partypooper!
Always there to tell you about someone else who’s died, a duel that went bad or a muggle who got fried!
You’ll beg him to Avada Kedavra you, Harry please! But you can’t stop Harry Partypooper!
The Gryffindor House sits around [...]
Hermione Granger Becomes Legal, Creepy Guys Across the Globe Rejoice!
Congratulations to all you way creepy older men out there who spent the last five years locking the basement door of your mom’s house and furiously downloading pictures of innocent, pre-approved hottie Emma Watson. Your years of wrist work, tissue burnination, glitter-y collage creation and overall general disgustingness in obsessing over an underage fantasy [...]
The 2007 TheJay.com Year In Film Awards
I’m rip roaring and raring to go on ‘0JAY8 like La Lohan on an extended weekend in Capri, so before a Celebritard does something so dissgrossting that I have to break my Lost Girls ban and dip into my bag of fake whore words to describe their actions (”whoreititude” being my current favs), let’s start [...]
Harry Potter and the Life of The Jay
The most curious and wonderful thing happened to me last week. But first, a lead up…
My group and I decided to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix on opening night at the Mann Chinese 6 (we chose the small theater instead of the giant Grauman’s because we wanted stadium seating). [...]
Snape. Snape. Severus Snape. DUMBLEDORE!
In honor of Book 7 Day Eve, I give you what is quite possibly the greatest puppet show in the history of stringed up fabric (excluding Being John Malkovich, of course). I defy you not to watch this more than once. And I outright challenge you not to hum the Ticking Noise song [...]
What Is Harry Reaching For on the Cover of “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows”?
Scholastic has released the art for the cover of the zealously anticipated final book from the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It’s cool, it’s gorgeous to look at, and like a frustratingly well-written episode of Lost, it begs more questions than answers. Why is Harry in a Coliseum with [...]
The 2005 TheJay.com Year In Film Awards
The year of “the slump”. The year nobody cared. The year King Kong was a box office disappointment. The year that finally killed the Star Wars Franchise. The year Tom Cruise literally and metaphorically jumped the couch. Whatever you want 2005 to go by, you can’t deny that it was [...]
Turkey Day Movie Choices: 2005
It is a TheJay.com annual tradition to go see a movie on Thanksgiving. Nothing goes better with the best meal of the year than a big, honking, totally entertaining blockbuster. In the past there have been some great choices (Toy Story 2, Unbreakable), some not so good (101 Dalmations) and some that never, [...]
