G-Force (2009) |
"Most youngsters at the screening I attended were not amused -- not even by the usually giggle-evoking flatulence scenes." |
Betty Jo Tucker |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"Fans of the cartoon will see little resemblance to their nostalgic favorite here, while the uninitiated may be hard-pressed to find any thrills they haven't seen before." |

Tomato |
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"You get your money's worth and then some. As for the movie's stars, Tatum is suitably studly and Miller acquits herself quite well in her first turn in a blockbuster." |
John P. McCarthy |
Tomato |
Game 6 (2006) |
"Character-driven films dependent on the quality of the performances are a rare thing these days, so 'Game 6' is a movie worth embracing." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"Although 'The Game Plan' disappointed me, I wouldn't be surprised if teeny-bopper girls -- and fans of "The Rock" -- get a kick out of it." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat 2/4 |
Gamer (2009) |
"Fans of Crank will probably enjoy the same coked-up brand of cinematography in Gamer, but it fails to add any juice to the film's main set pieces." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Gangs of New York (2002) |
"Entertainment in the grand if bloody style -- and the performance of Day-Lewis alone makes this film worth the effort." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Ganja & Hess (1972) |
"A meandering but stylish jumble." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Garden State (2004) |
"It's easy to connect with and enjoy such a universal story about pain, loss, love and overcoming roadblocks." |

Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"In a way, it's the perfect representation of Garfield. A bland comic strip inspires a bland movie." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato |
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006) |
"I enjoyed the film's light-hearted script, which steals pages from Mark Twain's 'The Prince and the Pauper' and is executed well by director Tim Hill." |
Geoff Roberts |
Tomato |
Gasoline (2001) |
"Although inviting comparisons to such movies as 'Thelma & Louise,' 'Bound' and 'Boys Don't Cry,' this dark nighttime film stands on its own quite nicely." |

Gaudi Afternoon (2001) |
"A waste of talent." |

George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"Playful but more thoughtful -- too obviously so -- than most other stalker slashers, 'Diary of the Dead' ratchets up its own punditry." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"A dark, creepy and gore-soaked feast." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"With 'Land of the Dead,' Romero reminds us that he's not only a master of horror but also a great storyteller who just happens to ply his craft in the zombie genre.

Georgia Rule (2007) |
"The casting almost feels like some kind of cruel joke on Lohan." |

Get Smart (2008) |
"In 'Get Smart,' Steve Carell doesn't do anything to acknowledge Don Adams or make the Maxwell Smart role his own." |

Gettysburg and Stories of Valor - Civil War Minutes III (2004) |

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) |
"Innocence is nothing if not ambitious, and that is its best trait -- it wants to hash out ideas first and provide action second." |
Jeffrey Chen |

Ghost Of Mae Nak (2006) |
"The ghost of Mae Nak looks more like a Kabuki actress with a really bad dental plan in this 20th film version of Thailand's ancient legend." |

Ghost Rider (2007) |
"It's best to consider 'Ghost Rider' as a mild misfire -- merely a pothole in the road of comic book cinema." |

Ghost Town (2008) |
"Playing off each other brilliantly, Ricky Gervais and Greg Kinnear make their extreme-opposite characters quite believable here." |

Ghost Train (2006) |
"'Ghost Train' shifts in no time at all from an atmospheric little ditty to one of the most erratic and schizophrenic horror movies in recent memory." |

Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007) |
"The 85 minutes of this documentary are searing, not on gore quotient but through an aura of appalling violence in every frame." |

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"'Ghosts of Girlfriends Past' lacks energy and originality, plus the characters are too shallow to care about. But Michael Douglas is delightful." |

Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"Persuading the appealing Bill Paxton to come along for this undersea ride was one of James Cameron's wisest moves." |

Gigli (2003) |

Gilda (1946) |

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |

The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"A curious snapshot of urban America during a particular pressured time; it doesn't have a generally nice view of people, but a frankness about the film's subject drives it -- when the chips are down, it's all about business." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato |
Girlhood (2003) |
"Avoids talking head-itis to follow real events." |

Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008) |

Gloomy Sunday (2003) |
"An old-fashioned love-in-time-of-war melodrama such as one seldom sees anymore and which the film makes us lament." |

Glory Road (2006) |
"A successful mix of politics, social commentary and sports." |

Glory Road (2006) |

John P. McCarthy |

God Grew Tired of Us (2007) |
"Nicole Kidman's minimal narration is effective but unnecessary here, for this true-life story is told by the three English-speaking participants." |
