G-Force (2009) |
"A better action movie than Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but that's like raving that sandwiches taste better than the bottom of your shoe." |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"Made for only two audiences: those who thought the '80s cartoon was abso-freakin'-lutely awesome and anyone who finds a mindless fantasy world of techno-military action abso-freakin'-lutely awesome on its own terms." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 2/5 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"Whether or not an unexpected shift to generic family-friendly territory boosts The Rock's flagging film career, this is just one more in a long line of creatively bankrupt choices for the former wrestler." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 2/4 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"While the first three quarters of the film prove forgettable, The Game Plan rallies in the fourth quarter, when Johnson is able to sell his character's love for his daughter." |
Scott Schueller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Gamer (2009) |
"At what point would we resist an opportunity to indulge our desires in a supposedly guilt-free setting? Kudos to Gamer for managing to be both action-packed and thought-provoking." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Garden (2009) |
"Presents a classic story of the little guy taking on The Man with both thrilling and frustrating results." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Garden Party (2008) |
"A blandly pointless roundelay of bad acting, forgettable characters and flat drama." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 1/5 |
Gentlemen Broncos (2009) |
"Everything you need to know about the depressing, unsavory Gentlemen Broncos can be summarized by a single shot: a close-up on a steaming pile of dog crap." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 4/5 |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"Deserves a place in the horror movie canon. Right beside [Romero's] legendary zombies-in-a-shopping-mall satire Dawn of the Dead." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 2.5/5 |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"I endured this redundant zombie movie and all I got was this lousy headache." |

Get Smart (2008) |
"The catchphrases remain, but the love is gone." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ghost Rider (2007) |
"If Cage made a deal with the devil to never make a good movie ever again, Ghost Rider completes his transition from A-list star to industry punchline." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"Who knew The Sixth Sense could have been such a disarming romantic comedy?" |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"Why does Hollywood have such a knack for getting romantic comedies so wrong? Who knows, but they owe it to performers like Garner to find a way to do better." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 0.5/5 |
Gigantic (2008) |
"Just a bunch of strange character traits strung together for no reason other than quirk." |

The Girl From Monaco (2009) |
"You have an appealing ménage a trois that brings sunny energy to a movie that ultimately stumbles." |
Alexis Loinaz |
Tomato 3/5 |
Girls Rock! (2008) |
"The shy, awkward subjects of Girls Rock! stand in refreshing contrast to the American Idol ideal of potential superstars." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 2/4 |
Glastonbury (2007) |
"While the movie will clarify whether or not the fest is for you, you never feel like you're actually there." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3/4 |
Glory Road (2006) |
"A darn good story, told with enough conviction and impact to connect with people who don't know the difference between a three-pointer and a field goal.

The Go-Getter (2008) |
"Hipster filmmaking-by-numbers." |

Tomato 3/4 |
God Grew Tired of Us (2007) |
"Their optimism and persistence is moving on a supremely human level, and much more a than gut-check to anyone who's lost perspective on their own fortune." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3/4 |
Going Shopping (2006) |
"As breezy as window-shopping and reminds us that, in both shopping and love, everyone has buyer's remorse and few items fit right." |
Matt Pais |

The Golden Compass (2007) |
"Suffering from a bad case of kicking-off-a-franchise-itis." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 3/5 |
Gomorrah (2009) |
"The action and bloodshed are amped up in the final half hour, but it's still not enough to land the clearly intended knockout punch." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Gone Baby Gone (2007) |
"A powerful exploration of the gray areas between means and ends." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008) |
"Just enough relevancy to lift the cable-ready doc above the Biography norm, even though the filmmaking could've used a little more of Thompson's renegade spirit." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 3/5 |
Good (2008) |
"Fails to convince that this man could remain so removed from the horrifying events unfolding around him." |

Good Dick (2008) |
"Another indie that wears its quirks and gritty "realism" a little too proudly." |
Geoff Berkshire |

The Good German (2006) |
"Soderbergh is out to dispel the phrase, 'They don't make 'em like they used to,' and he mostly succeeds." |

Good Hair (2009) |
"A funny, head-scratching doc with a few loose ends." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Good Luck Chuck (2007) |
"Telemarketers should target fans of the movie because anyone who can buy Cook as a good-hearted dentist who travels to Guatemala to help sick children will buy anything." |

The Good Shepherd (2006) |
"As impenetrable as the [CIA] itself." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
A Good Year (2006) |
"Crowe's as excellent a romantic lead as he is a gladiator, and A Good Year wouldn't be nearly as good without him." |

Goodbye Solo (2009) |
"Bahrani again proves himself a master of tapping into the art of everyday living without trying to coax out beauty that isn't there." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009) |
"Mostly just feels stale, leaning on jokes about boy bands and MC Hammer and a plot recycled from the already recycled parts of stuff like Hot Rod." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Goya's Ghosts (2007) |
"The Spanish Inquisition for people who are more interested in seeing side angles of Natalie Portman naked than a fully-formed document of the past." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4/5 |
Grace (2009) |
"Deeply unsettling stuff ... [but] sharp, witty and ambitiously artful too, like some lost gem from the highbrow spectrum of '70s exploitation cinema" |
Geoff Berkshire |

Grace is Gone (2007) |
"Its pain is real and its young actresses are promising." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/4 |
Gracie (2007) |
"Between the schmaltzy messages about family and the super-sweet on-field heroics, this is cheese washed down with syrup. Yuck." |
Matt Pais |

Gran Torino (2008) |
"Enjoyable proof that Clint Eastwood can still chew up anyone like beef jerky." |

Splat 3/5 |
The Grand (2008) |
"Director Zak Penn isn't quite up to [Christopher] Guest's level but the highlights of The Grand suggest he could be someday." |

Gray Matters (2007) |
"If aliens were to take this kind of behavior and dialogue as an example of normal interaction of the species, we'd all be in big, big trouble." |
Matt Pais |

The Great Buck Howard (2009) |
"Worth catching for Malkovich's terrific comedic performance alone." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Great Debaters (2007) |
"Washington as a filmmaker works in big, unsubtle moves, but this is a sizable story in the never-ending racial struggle so we'll let it slide." |

The Guardian (2006) |
"The Guardian might not be half bad if it didn't sink under a massive storm of cliche." |
