Galaxy Quest (1999) |

The Gambler (1997) |
"A polished but superficial period drama that fails to illuminate what could have been an involving story." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
The Game (1997) |

Maitland McDonagh |

Game 6 (2006) |

The Game of Their Lives (2005) |
"the narrative and dialogue club us over the head in an effort to make 21st-century viewers understand why the victory of America's team over England was of such monumental importance." |
Bruce Feld |
Tomato |
Game Over - Kasparov and the Machine (2003) |
"This is all great, compelling stuff, and although director Jayanti sometimes goes overboard with his technique (weird inserts, strange camera angles), it's a story that practically tells itself." |

Garcon Stupide (2006) |
"There's more prurient interest here than cinematic artistry or compelling narrative and not enough of any of these elements to entice significant theatre traffic." |
Doris Toumarkine |

Garden Party (2008) |
"A fatally fractured, disconnected mosaic of unappealing, marginal Hollywood types haphazardly interconnecting." |

"An unapologetic and accurate snapshot." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Genealogies of a Crime (1998) |
"Elegantly creepy one minute and cheerfully absurdist the next, Genealogies of a Crime is lively and inventive, suggesting that there is more going on here than meets the eye." |

The General (1927) |
"Silent classic is one of Keaton's best" |
Daniel Eagan |

The General (1998) |

The General's Daughter (1999) |
"The film exists to relish showing a promiscuous woman's effect on her testosterone-jockey colleagues and her provocative, self-loathing efforts at embarrassing dear old daddy and his West Point cronies." |
Chris Grunden |

George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"That's right, folks--at 68, Romero has finally discovered this newfangled invention called the Internet and he thinks it's pretty darn cool. And you know what? So is the movie." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"If this does turn out to be the 65-year-old director's last foray into this territory, it's a great note to go out on." |
Ethan Alter |

George Washington (2000) |
"The undernourished script is little more than a series of slow-paced, opaque character sketches that lead nowhere." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Georgia Rule (2007) |
"A difficult film, with particulars that don't work. But the cry-for-help desperation of its mother-daughter troika is mesmerizing." |

"A coming-of-age movie with soul and substance." |
Kevin Lally |
Splat |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |

Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
Get Smart (2008) |
"The erstwhile 40-year-old virgin proves he's a major comedy star, with a true gift for silly slapstick that remains grounded in a recognizably vulnerable way." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
Getting to Know You (1999) |

Ghost Ship (2002) |
"Devoid of legitimate shocks and marred by a plodding, unimaginative storyline, the film barely rates as mindless escapism." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"For a film that looks and feels au courant, Ghost Town could slip seamlessly into the rotation at Turner Classic Movies, an observation meant to be a compliment." |
Rex Roberts |
Tomato |
Ghost World (2001) |
"An irreverently humorous and original portrait of teenage girlhood and the strange world that the lead characters mockingly observe." |
Daniel Steinhart |
