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

Splat
1/5

The Glimmer Man (1996)

No article available.

Matt Brunson

Tomato
3.5/4

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)

"Gunga Din has served as the inspiration for countless adventure yarns over the decades."

Matt Brunson

Tomato
5/5

The Guns of Navarone (1961)
