G-Force (2009)

"Have you ever wondered what a Jerry Bruckheimer-produced talking-animal movie would be like? Me, neither. But here's the answer."

Gamer (2009)

"Like the 'Crank' films, this is an absurdly exaggerated, outlandishly crass and alternately inventive and appalling depiction of a man violently fighting to liberate himself from the forces that seek to control him..."

Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)

"The movie is only 78 minutes long, but that's 78 minutes you could spend with your child reading A.A. Milne or Lewis Carroll or just about the entire output of Dr. Seuss. Or -- to pick a more relevant example -- Mark Twain."

George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005)

"Pogo's mournful eureka -- 'We have met the enemy and he is us' --never resonates more clearly than in Romero's work."

Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)

"No matter how accurate its rap-gangland narrative, there's little here that couldn't have been imagined by a screenwriter from suburban Des Moines..."

The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)

"For youngsters who hadn't experienced anything stronger than the attack of the ping-pong balls on 'Captain Kangaroo,' 'Mr. Chicken' -- with its spooky organ music, blood-dripping portrait and haunted 'murder house' -- was deliciously traumatic..."

Ghost Rider (2007)

"The self-conscious 'quirkiness' is painful: Nicolas Cage plays Johnny Blaze as a homespun dunce who 'drinks' jelly beans from a martini glass, listens exclusively to The Carpenters, and busts a gut laughing at chimpanzee slapstick on TV."

Ghosts of the Abyss (2003)

"If you've seen one rusticle-encrusted antique armoire, you've seen 'em all."

The Girl Next Door (2004)

"Goes through more contortions than a Tijuana pole dancer as it tries to be all things to all people, and yet it works..."

Girls Rock! (2008)

"'Why don't you start your own band? That's a lot cooler than having a boyfriend in a band!' So says 15-year-old Laura, who makes a better pitch for the 'empowerment' aspects of the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls than do the adult counselors..."

God Grew Tired of Us (2007)

"A thought-provoking film likely to make moviegoers question their own paths in life even as it involves them in the lives of several of the 'Lost Boys' of Sudan..."

Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack (2003)

"Intentionally humorous and oddly poetic..."

The Golden Compass (2007)

"Unlikely to fill theaters or to empty pews."

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008)

"In the manner of such key Thompson works as 'Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72,' the movie links entertaining personal biography with fascinating cultural history..."

The Good German (2006)

"A cold movie that sacrifices so-called 'heart' to achieve a primarily technical effect -- an appropriate strategy for a story about death camp inmates enslaved to produce rockets for the Nazis."

Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005)

"We may recognize that the film is something of a nicotine-stained hagiography; but such recognition doesn't dilute the power of the ideas that Clooney has chosen to champion."

The Good Thief (2003)

"If Nick Nolte had been looking for excuses when he was arrested, he might have told the officers he was still in character from 'Thief' ..."

Goya's Ghosts (2007)

"Reminds us of the wisdom behind the title of Goya's most famous etching: 'The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.'"

The Grapes of Wrath (1940)

"Despite an occasional excess of sentiment and politics that are sometimes naive, 'Wrath' remains essential viewing..."

The Great Debaters (2007)

"A sort of 'Glory Road' or 'Pride' rewrite that celebrates young people who are better at stringing words than shooting hoops or swimming laps."

Grindhouse (2007)

"'Death Proof''s defiance of expectation is as much a part of the grindhouse legacy as bare breasts and bloody knives. When the movie ends, we realize Tarantino has lived up to the best tradition of his exploitation influences: He's pulled a fast one."

The Grudge (2004)

"Those who've seen Shimizu's creepy original aren't likely to be impressed..."

Gunner Palace (2005)

"Lock 'n load as the flip-side of rock 'n roll, with literal battle raps that function as both painful autobiography and frontline reportage."
