Tomato |
Ghost World (2001) |

"Almost everything that happens on-screen lacks emotional impact." |

Splat |
Girlfight (2000) |
"Diana's victories in Girlfight ultimately ring hollow, and it's artificial and nauseating to watch Adrian transform from a hopeful contender to a limp dishrag." |
|
Splat |
Gladiator (2000) |
"If this makes some money, it may be possible to explore wider stories and more complex themes, rather than the stubborn preservation of outdated societal models that a movie like this endorses." |
|
Tomato |
The Glass House (2001) |
"Evil foster parents haven't been this much fun since Terry O'Quinn in The Stepfather." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992) |
"The directing's a bit obtrusive, but the script and the acting gets to the heart of Mamet's glorious obsession with macho B.S." |
|
Splat |
Glitter (2001) |
"It's just an intentional hoot, sabotaged by clunky direction, a screenplay so awful it feels as though there are no vowels, and Carey's inability to recite a line of it." |
|
Gloomy Sunday (2003) |
"This tragic romance is elegant, picturesque, sensuous, and rather stilted." |
||
Tomato 4/5 |
Glory (1989) |
"Broderick is perhaps a tad miscast, but Denzel absolutely justifies that first Oscar" |
|
Splat |
Go Tigers! (2001) |
"Some issues need more exploring than they get." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Godfather Collection (1997) |
"Points docked for part 3, but no filmbuff should be without the first 2." |
|
Tomato |
Godzilla 2000 (2000) |

|
Gojira (1954) |
|||
Tomato |
The Golden Bowl (2001) |

Goldfinger (1964) |
"Most think it's the best Bond. I favor some of the more recent ones, but this is classic stuff." |
|
Splat |
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) |
"It's barely a movie at all, more like a thousand car commercials spliced together in an hour." |

The Good Girl (2002) |
|||
Tomato 3/5 |
The Good Mother (1988) |
