G.I. Jesus (2006) |
"The scattershot approach may not be masterful, but it does land some glancing blows." |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"Joseph Gordon-Levitt Talks Life as Cobra Commander" |

The General's Daughter (1999) |
"The overriding tone is soggy. About the only thing that's crisp in this movie is the way everybody salutes." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Gentlemen Broncos (2009) |
"The best part is Jemaine Clement as Benjamin’s grandiose genre hero, Dr. Ronald Chevalier. Even if you love him on Flight of the Conchords, you’ll be unprepared for his genius -- and charisma." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"There’s enough social commentary (and innovative splatter) to acidulate the brew -- to remind you that Romero, even behind the curve, makes other genre filmmakers look like fraidy-cats." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
George Washington (2000) |
"A gracious sleepwalk of a movie that could have used a firmer strut." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Get Smart (2008) |
"Get Smart is likable and very funny -- at least a two-to-one ratio of excellent gags to clunkers -- but it’s not, for better or worse, Get Smart." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) |
"By turns irritating and inviting; Jarmusch's allusive metaphysics has a sensual glide, but much of what he's doing here is also too, too hip." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"Who knew that Ricky Gervais could play such a likable leading man?" |

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Pretty much the whole movie is a series of poses, static and uninvolving, except for cinematographer Eduardo Serra's lighting, which makes everything look convincingly Vermeer-ish" |
Peter Rainer |
Splat |
Girlfight (2000) |
"[Rodriguez'] performance is an amateur triumph, but the same can't really be said for the film, which doesn't know what to do with Diana's unruliness except to channel it into a feminist fable of empowerment." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat |
The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"Most of the dialogue is listless, and no matter how much Soderbergh snips and stitches, the movie is a corpse with twitching limbs." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Gladiator (2000) |
"Without Russell Crowe's dynamism holding it all together, Gladiator might have devolved into a rash of overblown pandering." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008) |
"As haunting in its own way as one of Glass’ own works." |
Sara Cardace |
Tomato |
The Gleaners and I (2001) |
"[A] lyrically ramshackle essay about people, including Varda herself, who don't fit into society's cubbyholes." |
Peter Rainer |
Splat |
Go (1999) |
"Finally, there's nothing much to this movie except a lot of funky attitude." |
Peter Rainer |
Tomato |
The Go-Getter (2008) |
"Martin Hynes’s first film, The Go-Getter, is an especially wonderful addition to the [road movie] genre, with the right -- flickering -- mixture of loneliness and enchantment, and with jokes that come at you from just around the bend." |

Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004) |
"It underscores, with ample footage from his rallying speeches and his 1971 testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, just how important it was for the antiwar movement to be represented by someone like Kerry." |

Golden Door (2007) |
"The rhythms of the movie are slow and daydreamy, but [director] Crialese delights in breaking up the realism with his protagonist’s mystical -- almost madcap -- visions of the New World’s abbondanza." |

Gomorrah (2009) |
"Next to HBO’s The Wire, which depicted an enormous financial ladder and also brought to life the characters on every rung, the movie is small potatoes: excellent journalism, so-so art." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Gone Baby Gone (2007) |
"Casey Affleck has never had a pedestal like the one his brother provides him, and he earns it." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008) |
"A tender, even-tempered elegy to a writer who at his peak could ingest staggering (literally) amounts of drugs and alcohol and transform, like Popeye after a can of spinach, into a superhuman version of himself." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Good (2008) |
"The subject -- self-deception and failure of nerve in an unjust world -- is too messy and horrible to laugh away." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Good German (2006) |
"Steven Soderbergh is usually an inspired chameleon, perfectly suiting his style to his content. But The Good German is an ambitious miss." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
The Good Night (2007) |
"The Good Night takes familiar (embarrassingly familiar) male-angst material and makes it go loop-de-loop, so that the jokes hit you from behind and underneath while the bleakness smacks you in the face." |
David Edelstein |
Tomato |
Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005) |
"... it telescopes -- with no loss of accuracy -- Murrow's last few fifties hurrahs as the hardest diamond in Bill Paley's 'Tiffany network.'" |

The Good Thief (2003) |
"Bob is a marvelous creation -- a faker who is also the genuine article." |
Peter Rainer |

Goodbye Solo (2009) |
"[Writer-director] has made a true drama, a tug-of-war between hope and resignation in which neither player openly speaks to what’s coming." |

The Grand (2008) |
"Zak Penn’s The Grand is a seesaw, but the setting -- the high-stakes poker subculture -- is remarkably fertile and the actors are a treat." |

The Great Debaters (2007) |
"In the stacked-deck world of Robert Eisele’s script, this team has an uncanny ability to grab the hindsight-friendly side of every issue." |
Bilge Ebiri |
Tomato |
The Great New Wonderful (2006) |
"If the writer, Sam Catlin, can’t begin to make the storylines jell, he does elicit squirms and titters from the shark-filled moats between peoples’ conscious and unconscious lives." |
David Edelstein |
Splat |
The Green Mile (1999) |
"Darabont works big but thinks small, or at least without great complexity." |
Peter Rainer |

Grindhouse (2007) |
"The fun is in the one-thing-after-another delirium the movie induces, and in our breathless anticipation of what they'll hurl at us next." |
