Splat 1/4 |
Gacy (2003) |
"We barely learn a thing about [Gacy], other than the fact that his father abused him and he hates his wife." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"...it ultimately seems unlikely that the movie will appeal to viewers outside of its target demographic (ie pre-pubescent tots)." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gangs of New York (2002) |
"...not quite the masterpiece we've been hoping for." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Gangster No. 1 (2002) |
"...cool shots do not a riveting film make." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Garage Days (2003) |
"...[Alex Proyas'] over-the-top sensibility keeps this admittedly routine storyline from becoming an all-out bore." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
The Garden |
"...ultimately undone by its excruciatingly slow pace and overly talky vibe." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 4/4 |
Garden State (2004) |
"...Garden State is one of those rare films that manages to speak to an entire generation - much like The Graduate and Fight Club before it." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"...[the movie] doesn't completely suck ... thanks primarily to Alec Sokolow and Joel Cohen's script and Bill Murray's voice work." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Genova (2008) |
"...sustains one's interest from start to finish." |
David Nusair |

David Nusair |

A Gentleman's Game (2001) |
"...always entertaining..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"Romero has certainly peppered Diary of the Dead with a number of expectedly suspenseful and downright engrossing moments..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"...isn't quite the instant classic everyone was hoping for; it is, however, a better-than-average horror film..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
George of the Jungle 2 (2003) |
"It's hard to really criticize George of the Jungle 2, since it's clearly not intended for adults." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Georgia Rule (2007) |
"...it's ultimately difficult not to be drawn into the soap opera-ish exploits of the central characters." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Gerry (2003) |
"...there's no denying that Van Sant has crafted a film that's utterly unique." |
David Nusair |

"...a flat-out boring waste of time." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Get Low (2009) |
"...an affable piece of work whose individual elements are often more engrossing than the whole..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Get Over It (2001) |
"[Kirsten] Dunst seems to be a fairly decent actress; why she keeps appearing in the same movie over and over is beyond me." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"...a distinctly tedious piece of work." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Get Shorty (1995) |
"...it seems clear that Get Shorty will appeal mostly to those familiar with the source material - as it has to be more coherent and fleshed out than this." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Get Smart (2008) |
"...a manufactured piece of work that's been geared towards the lowest common denominator." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Getaway (1972) |
"...ultimately comes off as an above-average thriller that's elevated by the inclusion of several electrifying sequences and an expectedly charismatic turn from Steve McQueen." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghost (1990) |
"An unapologetic crowd pleaser..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |

Ghost Rider (2007) |
"...undoubtedly one of the worst comic book adaptations to hit theaters since the genre's recent resurgence..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"...the movie remains watchable even through the sporadic lulls within the narrative, something that's due almost entirely to Gervais' almost ridiculously entertaining performance." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"As superficial and melodramatic as one might've expected..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"...there's no denying that the film is always completely compelling, if only on a purely visceral level." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ghoulies (1985) |
"...they're not meant to inspire terror in viewers, as evidenced by the sequence featuring a ghoulie playing the piano..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Ghoulies 2 (1987) |
"...allows the ghoulies themselves to take center stage." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |

David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Ginger Snaps (2001) |
"...winds up wallowing
in its own detached ironic humour." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ginger Snaps 2 : Unleashed (2004) |
"...the creature effects have been improved here, which are fairly convincing this time around (rather than resembling a burly guy in a furry suit)." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"...hopelessly stale..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |

"...a sporadically overwrought but mostly compelling film..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Girl Next Door (2004) |
"...an innocuous romp for teenagers." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963) |
"As expected, The Girl Who Knew Too Much has been infused with a compelling and thoroughly memorable sense of style that's ultimately revealed as the one bright spot within a film that's otherwise fairly interminable." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Unlike a lot of films set in this time period, Girl with a Pearl Earring manages to entertain throughout..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |

The Glass House (2001) |
"...the screenplay...doesn't contain an ounce of subtlety or even intelligence." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |

David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Glory Road (2006) |
"...it's ultimately rather difficult not to get caught up in this inspirational true-life tale." |
