We study relationships between the colored Jones polynomial and the A-polynomial of a knot. The AJ conjecture (of Garoufalidis) that relates the colored Jones polynomial and the A-polynomial is established for a large class of two-bridge knots, including all twist knots. We formulate a weaker conjecture and prove that it holds for all two-bridge knots. Along the way we also calculate the Kauffman bracket skein module of the complements of two-bridge knots. Some properties of the colored Jones polynomial are established.
