Tomato
B+

Galaxy Quest (1999)

"A frivolous but funny comedy with great special effects and admirable performances. This should become a lasting classic, even for people who don't watch Star Trek, which it so cleverly spoofs."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Gangs of New York (2002)

"Day-Lewis's sneering, roaring, monstrous performance as the Butcher will remind you of the seemingly superhuman work Robert DeNiro performed in his prime."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Ron Reed

Tomato
B+

Gattaca (1997)

"There's a window on a possible future, a warning about the wages of sin, and enough beauty to make this a lasting classic of modern science fiction."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Ghost World (2001)

"Zwigoff makes Enid's neighborhood a truly strange and haunted place, where plastic people robotically follow their society's norms, and those who resist are left angry, alienated, and without any ideas for how to survive."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)

"Girl with the Pearl Earring is about the liberating and inspiring experience of being seen."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Girlfight (2000)

"It's sensitive, it avoids sentimentalism, and it wins our cheers by giving us believable characters that we care about."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
C

Gladiator (2000)

"Listen to the audience as they leave the theatre. Are they talking about being moved by honor and justice, or going 'wow' at the bloodshed so spectacularly delivered?"

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A

God Grew Tired of Us (2007)

"The Lost Boys' gratitude for simple things will humble those of us accustomed to comfort and opportunity. Their endurance, ambition, and compassion should inspire us."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
C-

Godzilla (1998)

"Godzilla ... is so poorly written and so un-original that it makes Independence Day sound like Shakespeare."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
C

The Golden Compass (2007)

"There's no sense of wonder in this frantic tour of wonderland, and Lyra escapes trouble so easily, there's little suspense."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005)

"Clooney weaves in archival footage ... letting McCarthy play McCarthy, as if to say, 'See? I’m not making this up.' The problem is, in some places, he is making it up."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A

Good Will Hunting (1997)

"... beneath their arrogance and crass behavior, you'll find a lot of hurt and many defense mechanisms raised against a compassionless, manipulative society."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A+

Gosford Park (2001)

"Altman juggles about thirty different characters, moving them from the upper-class upstairs to the servants' quarters... and he does so without losing the audience."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A

Grave of the Fireflies (1988)

"... a beautiful lament and a moving tribute to the people we rarely consider when we think about World War 2: those Japanese who suffered for the crimes of their leaders."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
C

The Green Mile (1999)

"Is this movie making an argument for euthanasia and suicide? Should nice folks have the option of giving up the ghost when they get tired of the world's problems?"

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)

"The action is fast and furious, and so are the punchlines."

Jeffrey Overstreet
