G-Force (2009) |
"Nowhere near the originality of anything from Pixar." |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"It’s noisy, fast-paced and stuffed with special effects. The screenplay? You’ve got to be joking!" |

Genova (2008) |
"This is a much more intimately reflective drama than Winterbottom usually supplies, and it tells us a lot about loss in a dozen small ways. The cast, particularly the children, do the director proud." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"This makes it certainly one of the best American comedies of the year. Belly laughs are hard to come by but the smiles are consistent throughout." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ghosts (2006) |
"Broomfield has great visual style, exposing-Britain's ugliness and beauty at every turn." |
Charlotte O'Sullivan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007) |
"Leth shows us the horrendous nature of the period but fails to provide much necessary political analysis, without which it is even more deeply depressing than it might have been." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"Though it pours the sentiment on at its conclusion, Waters’s film has a nasty misogynist edge, suggesting that women are gasping for cads such as Connor to seduce them." |

A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"One’s final impression is that aging legends make unreliable puppet-masters. And that it’s all too easy for a desirable young actress to be left dangling in mid-air." |

The Girl in the Park (2007) |
"It is not without its problems, but this is, at the very least, an attention-grabbing first feature with a fine example of ensemble playing from its cast." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"Director Steven Soderbergh is still as likely to serve up a stinker as a sweet-smelling success. The Girlfriend Experience? It gives off a fragrant pong." |

Glorious 39 (2009) |
"There’s much to admire in the film, such as sequences of the often forgotten panic when family pets were systematically put down as war became inevitable, but there’s quite a lot to argue about too." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Goal II: Living the Dream (2008) |
"I won't tell you the result, but I will say that Arsene Wenger would be wise to avoid Goal 2 in case he suffers from terminal apoplexy." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato |
The Golden Compass (2007) |
"Is it any good? Definitively, yes. A beautifully made, spectacularly designed family movie, it dares to ask serious questions about good and evil, free will and adolescent sexuality." |
Liz Hoggard |
Tomato 3/5 |
Golden Door (2007) |
"The film is touching, imaginative and makes the best of its cash through a minimalist skill that shows Crialese to be a genuinely original director." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Gomorrah (2009) |
"This may not be a perfect movie but it is memorable, angry at what it finds but determined not to produce either lily-white heroes or colourful villains." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008) |
"Gibney says the film took so much out of him that he limped into the Sundance Festival with a ruptured disc, a green liver and spots in his eyes that will not disappear. I hope he now thinks it worth the trouble. I’m pretty sure watchers will." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Good (2008) |
"The original play, once dubbed one of the 100 best of the century, is fleshed out with skill by Amorim but somehow his film never comes fully to life. Even its melodramatic ending falls flat." |

Splat 2/5 |
Good Dick (2008) |
"Things happen eventually but we never really know what ails her or why the boy is so taken by her mute presence." |

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) |
"It still looks a treat and a bold and largely successful attempt to recast the traditions of the genre in a new, sometimes critical, almost operatic way." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Goodbye Solo (2009) |
"Working to a spare screenplay, Bahrani offers none of the usual clues about either the cabbie’s surprising determination to prevent the tragedy or the old man’s reasons for suicide. This doesn’t always help the quiet drama." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 1/5 |
The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard (2009) |
"They look as if they could provide more laughs but are defeated by bovine gags retrieved from a trashcan full of out-takes." |

Goya's Ghosts (2007) |
"The whole thing creaks along like an anaemic snail." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Gran Torino (2008) |
"Gran Torino is made without fuss and acted out with the kind of natural grace only a real titan of the cinema could manage. And Clint is a titan — one of the best directors in America and a performer whose range has extended mightily throughout his career" |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Grease (1978) |
"Randal Kleiser's 1978 musical, set in the Fifties, has some horrible acting but the kind of exuberance that has made it a cult classic." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Greek Pete (2009) |
"It’s a black comedy, full of great lines and it deserves to be a mainstream hit. What a shame that it’s often unnecessarily graphic." |

The Grocer's Son (2008) |
"The Grocer’s Son is best described as a feelgood film that doesn’t underrate its audiences too much." |

Grow Your Own (2007) |
"Affectionate and heartwarming it will seem to those who enjoy this sort of thing; painfully slow and dramatically inert might be the criticism of doubters." |

Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008) |
