Splat 1.5/4 |
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"This isn't G.I. Joe so much as it's C.G.I. Joe, a nonstop orgy of computer imagery and pretty much what we'd expect from the director of the execrable Van Helsing and two dopey Mummy movies." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"Holds next to no surprises for anyone who's ever seen a movie before." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Garden State (2004) |
"[Braff] does more than knock it out of the park -- this one reaches all the way to the county line." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1/4 |
Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"The movie will feel like a slow crawl through broken glass for anyone old enough to have mastered the fine art of shoelace-tying." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"It's good, gory fun, even if its satiric jabs at societal mores come across as more heavy-handed than in the past." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Georgia Rule (2007) |
"If there's not a dry eye in the house when Lilly and Rachel finally hug, it's only because audiences will have cleared out by that point." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Get Shorty (1995) |
"Released in the shadow of Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty — for all its acclaim — has never received its due as one of the funniest Hollywood films of modern times." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Get Smart (2008) |
"In between all the gags and all the action scenes, there's an identifiable human element at work, and this empathy prevents this from being just another big, dumb summer comedy." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947) |
"Most notable for its effortless shifts in tone, starting out as a charming comedy before segueing into a melodrama ... and finally erupting as a deeply affecting tragedy capped by a redemptive ending." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ghost Rider (2007) |
"Yet another comic book adaptation that goes up in flames before our very eyes." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"Ghost Town is given a significant boost by the presence of Gervais, whose caustic wit and no-nonsense demeanor provide the picture with more of an edge than it would have received with a more conventional leading man at the helm." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"It's fortunate director Mark Waters thought to surround his pretty-boy star with so much talent -- without their combined efforts, this wouldn't stand a ghost of a chance when it comes to offering any semblance of entertainment." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"Whenever Cameron leaves the technical tricks, awkward recreations and computer graphics behind and focuses solely on the magnificent remains of the Titanic, the movie is awe-inspiring." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Girl Next Door (2004) |
"The focus is inexplicably drawn away from Danielle and placed on the antics of Matthew and his buddies, forcing the movie to deteriorate into just another chaotic teen comedy." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Similar to Shakespeare In Love in the manner in which it combines period fact with pure speculation." |
Matt Brunson |

Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004) |
"The most sobering aspect of the film is its ability to subtly highlight all the uncanny -- and frightening -- parallels between then and now." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Golden Boys (2009) |
"The three vets are a delight to watch, even if the movie around them remains soggy." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Golden Compass (2007) |
"[Kidman's Mrs. Coulter is] a movie villain worth remembering -- in fact, if she were any more evil, she would have to change her name from Marisa to Ann." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gone Baby Gone (2007) |
"Builds toward a devastating conclusion guaranteed to remain in the mind for days, weeks, maybe even months." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Good German (2006) |
"There's not much beyond self-conscious mise-en-scènes and a lead actor who isn't mysterious or magnetic as much as he's simply aloof." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Good Hair (2009) |
"Good Hair stands as an informative and entertaining documentary, and one that's pulled off with no small measure of style." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1/4 |
Good Luck Chuck (2007) |
"Cook and Alba generate about as much chemistry as a mongoose paired with a rattlesnake." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Good Shepherd (2006) |
"Patient viewers will find much to appreciate in this chilly yet absorbing drama." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Good Thief (2003) |
"This is a heist movie that's more interested in exploring its players than in impressing (or annoying) the audience with its cleverness, and therein lies its appeal." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
A Good Year (2006) |
"Scott tries to pump up this slender tale into something more meaningful: His tactic of choice is to bully us into always feeling something, which leads to an astonishing amount of clumsy comedy and overreaching sentiment." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) |
"Clearly the work of a master filmmaker whose style has never grown stale." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Goodbye Solo (2009) |
"I imagine all of us could use some quality Solo time in our lives." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009) |
"Like a Frankenstein monster that can never quite find the strength to climb off the table, The Goods is a lumbering creation stitched together from body parts of past comedies operating in a similarly sophomoric vein." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Gothika (2003) |
"Miranda's patients may indeed be not guilty by reason of insanity, but Gothika is clearly guilty by reason of stupidity." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Goya's Ghosts (2007) |
"A storyline that turns so silly, you half-expect Mel Brooks to show up reprising his "Inquisition" musical number from History of the World Part I." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gran Torino (2008) |
"It's not necessary to be familiar with Eastwood's career arc to enjoy Gran Torino, but it does amplify the appreciation for the manner in which the topic of violence is approached." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Grapes of Wrath (1940) |
"Like To Kill a Mockingbird, [it's] one of those rare motion pictures that perfectly captures the essence of its source material without compromising it in any way." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Great Buck Howard (2009) |
"A slight yet satisfying show-biz tale." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Great Debaters (2007) |
"Inspiring if overly familiar story that owes its allegiance not so much to history (it alters many facts) as to Dead Poets Society, Hoosiers and countless other "carpe diem" flicks." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Great Escape (1963) |
"McQueen's motorcycle ride has long been the stuff of cinematic legend, but the movie is packed with countless memorable episodes of this caliber." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Great Gatsby (1974) |
"Robert Redford offers an interesting take on mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Great World of Sound (2007) |
"Displays all the trademarks of a true indie effort, especially in its refusal to sentimentalize either the characters or their situations." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Grey Zone (2002) |
"Roman Polanski's The Pianist may have been showered with Oscar glory ... but the best Holocaust film of 2002 was actually The Grey Zone." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1983) |
"A bit too rigid to offer the proper degree of high adventure synonymous with the Tarzan trademark yet full of memorable sequences and strong performances." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Grindhouse (2007) |
"One's the bomb, while the other's simply a bomb." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Grudge (2004) |
"Ju-On's success rested in its powerful atmosphere... yet that aura only presents itself sporadically in the Yankee Grudge." |
Matt Brunson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Guardian (2006) |
"Director Andrew Davis and scripter Ron L. Brinkerhoff ... pummel us with the shameless ending we dreaded from the moment the opening credits appeared on the screen." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Guess Who (2005) |
"Just as Meet the Parents begat Meet the Fockers, if Guess Who turns out to be a hit, expect a sequel, Meet the Honkies, somewhere down the line." |
Matt Brunson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gunga Din (1939) |
