Rotten	Fresh 77%	Genova (2008)	" I didn't know Michael Winterbottom could make a dull movie until now. Genova, otherwise known perhaps as The Narrow Lanes of Genova, is a strange film which seems to have lost its bearings and its direction somewhere between concept and production" Posted Oct 31, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 36%	G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)	" Youngsters (anyone up to about 24) will whisper 'cool' with jaws dropped every 85 seconds or so, as the gizmos, gadgets, weapons and other toys of the future flash before their eyes" Posted Aug 4, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 67%	Greetings from the Shore (2008)	" There's a sweet tone throughout Greetings that endears us to the story and especially to Kim Shaw as the pretty Jenny, who has a promise to" Posted Jun 19, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 91%	Gomorrah (2009)	" The sinewy production could almost pass for documentary %u2013 if only doco makers could get such amazing access. But that's why the film has been hailed as groundbreaking. It is also heartbreaking." Posted May 8, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 32%	Good (2008)	" This film contributes to the important debate about morality in times of political trauma and oppression of personal freedoms" Posted Apr 2, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 33%	Gospel Hill (2008)	" Subtleties are thin on the ground, but the elements of social injustice, racial tension and character conflicts make the film engaging enough" Posted Mar 21, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 85%	Ghost Town (2008)	" The bravura blend of English eccentricity thanks to Ricky Gervais' presence and the surreal fantasy of a new take on the 'I see dead people' concept makes for highly entertaining cinema, especially in the first half" Posted Feb 6, 2009
Fresh	N/A	Guarding Eddy (2004)	" A hidden gem of a movie; instantly engaging and honest, Scott McKinsey's directing debut of this fact-inspired story impresses with its avoidance of fake sentiment" Posted Jan 23, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Gran Torino (2008)	" For all its neat moral and psychological elements, Nick Shenck's screenplay provides a terrific platform for Eastwood to tease out the many layers that make the film so satisfying and so real" Posted Jan 15, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 33%	The Guitar (2008)	" We've probably all wondered what we'd do if given a few short months to live and the premise of The Guitar takes one self indulgent option" Posted Dec 20, 2008
Fresh	N/A	Getting Gotti (1994)	" Lorraine Bracco tears up the screen in a feisty performance as Diane Giacalone, the New York Assistant Attorney who gets on the case of the Mafia thug, John Gotti." Posted Dec 20, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 90%	The Grocer's Son (2008)	" An engaging combination of coming of age, family drama and romance, with a teaspoon of Provencal remedies thrown in" Posted Sep 28, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 80%	Garbage Warrior (2008)	" His ideas attracted others & it became a commercially viable operation to help people build their own self sustaining homes in the area. Reynolds, with wild white hair and two week stubble, is energetic & obsessive, but that's what makes him a good story" Posted Aug 7, 2008
