Galaxy Quest (1999) |
"A Christmas present filled with impressive special effects and silly gags, which is far more entertaining than its packaging might have led anyone to believe." |
Philip Booth |
Splat 2/5 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"This is your ordinary funny-to-treacly plot arc -- funny if you’re 10 or younger, treacly if you’re older." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Garden State (2004) |
"Braff clearly loves these characters, and his enthusiasm for them ultimately carries the day." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"[Romero's] zombies may still lumber about -- hallelujah -- but his ideas and filmmaking skills are as agile and smart as ever." |
Paul Knoll |
Tomato |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"How zombie godfather Romero can still manage to set himself apart from his legion of imitators is a mystery to me, but he's done it again." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"The usual hip-hop hypocrisies infest this semi-autobiographical tale of a dope dealer's rise to rapping glory, which laments the sad brutality of life on the streets while glamorizing every minute of it." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato |
Ghost World (2001) |
"Enid is head and shoulders above most of her smart-aleck forebears." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato |
The Gift (2001) |
"A deliciously creepy little picture that has director Sam Raimi effectively incorporating supernatural shocks and making terrific use of a cast led by Cate Blanchett." |
Philip Booth |
Splat 2/5 |
Gigli (2003) |
"An inexplicable non-comedy whose chief virtue is its lack of screwball histrionics." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato |
Gilles' Wife (2006) |
"Somehow, the plot remains emotionally coherent -- involving, even -- amid a minimum of dialogue." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Cinematographer Eduardo Serra supplies painterly setups that should inspire much cooing from the gallery-opening set." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
Girl, Interrupted (1999) |
"Nothing to go crazy over." |
Philip Booth |
Splat 2/5 |
The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"While The Girlfriend Experience is not a good film by any stretch, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it as being, at the very least, worth the time to watch it." |
Rob Boylan |
Tomato |
The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007) |
"Recklessly fun, explosively colorful and intensely, abusively edited." |
Jason Ferguson |
Tomato |
The Glass House (2001) |
"A competently paced, reasonably engrossing suburban thriller." |
Philip Booth |
Tomato 4/5 |
Gloomy Sunday (2003) |
"Director/co-writer Rölf Schöbel's tight, philosophically sound narrative shows the essential relation of nationalist offenses to personal demons like lust, envy and blind resentment." |
|
Tomato |
Glory Road (2006) |
"If the prospect of another reality-based Disney sports drama makes you want to pull your fingernails out with pliers, you'll be pleasantly surprised by this bio of the 1966 Texas Western Miners." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
Goal! (2006) |
"The movie is variously a dewy plea for tolerance, a sporting Cinderella story, a father/ son reconciliation drama and a 'will success spoil Rock Hunter?' cautionary tale. In other words, it’s four movies you didn’t especially need to see again." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 2/5 |
Gods and Generals (2003) |
"A big, bloated disaster of a movie you could almost call the Heaven's Gate of its generation." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Godsend (2004) |
"[A] remarkably uninvolving film." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
Godzilla 2000 (2000) |
"So many howlers are uttered (in badly dubbed English) in Godzilla 2000 -- the 23rd movie starring that durable beast from the East -- that it's easy to lose count." |
Philip Booth |
Tomato 4/5 |
Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004) |
"Filmmaker George Butler's meticulous collage of home movies, newsreel clips and still photography deposits us in the thick of that era with startling immediacy and a commitment to documentation that leaves no touchstone unturned." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
The Golden Bowl (2001) |
"It's only Thurman who displays any of the desperation and ferocity the circumstances require." |
Serena Donadoni |
Tomato 4/5 |
Golden Door (2007) |
"Thanks to the director’s own mix of fantasy and social commentary, there’s nothing quite like Golden Door." |
John Thomason |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Gone Baby Gone (2007) |
"The older Affleck makes a fine turn behind the camera, utilizing Boston as a character much like Gus Van Sant did in his Good Will Hunting." |
Cole Haddon |
Splat 2/5 |
Good Boy! (2003) |
"When the kid is the best thing in a dog movie, you know somebody's been barking up the wrong tree." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato 5/5 |
Good Bye, Lenin! (2004) |
"It's a sentimental and sophisticated alternative to the standard American view of the Cold War's end." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
The Good German (2006) |
"The Good German is a self-serving act of fetishistic virtual embalming, with all the liveliness that description implies." |
Ian Grey |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Good Girl (2002) |
"Enjoyable black-comic romp." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato 4/4 |
Good Hair (2009) |
"Whatever Rock’s impetus for exploring the wallet-busting, day-consuming, sometimes chemically dangerous desire of black women to achieve European hair, he’s never wanting for laughter." |
Justin Strout |
Splat |
Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005) |
"The movie gradually deflates due to an overreliance on archival footage (of the McCarthy hearings, mostly) and a fondness for speechmaking." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 2/5 |
The Good Shepherd (2006) |
"Though illuminating as a history primer on the CIA, The Good Shepherd has the spark of an 8 a.m. college lecture." |
Jason Ferguson |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Good Thief (2003) |
"We have another -- no, the best -- of Jordan's valentines to outsider archetypes besmirched by eccentric dreams of beauty and transcendence from a glamorized but fatal low-life milieu." |
Ian Grey |
Splat 2.5/5 |
A Good Year (2006) |
"It’s ultimately a so-so movie that does little more than answer what should’ve been an ironic question: What would happen if Ridley Scott and Russell Crowe made a romantic comedy?" |
Cole Haddon |
Tomato |
Gosford Park (2001) |
"The all-star conclave of mostly British talent Altman has brought together would be a pleasure to watch no matter what sort of film they found themselves in." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato |
Gosford Park (2001) |
"See Gosford Park. It's the sporting thing to do." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat 1/5 |
The Gospel of John (2003) |
"Its literal nature swiftly proves to be the three-hour movie's undoing, with every last syllable of the text spoon-fed to us as dialogue or narration." |
Steve Schneider |
Splat |
Gossip (2000) |
"A rather overstated, illogical Generation Y thriller." |
Philip Booth |
Splat 2/5 |
Gothika (2003) |
"Salient quote: 'Right now, my mind is running on empty.' Yeah, it's going around." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Goya's Ghosts (2007) |
"Goya’s Ghosts is less about the eponymous painter than it is a gripping two-part story of politics and faith during and after the Spanish Inquisition." |
John Thomason |
Tomato 3/5 |
Gozu (2004) |
"It's unflinchingly horrible, but it's also incredibly funny." |
Jason Ferguson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Gran Torino (2008) |
"Where Gran Torino fails at social criticism, it succeeds at capturing an engrossing snapshot of the human saga. If it’s Clint’s last film, it’s a perfect ending." |
Rob Boylan |
Splat .5/5 |
Gray Matters (2007) |
"Will make viewers who aren't Cosmo subscribers want to blow their brains out." |

The Great Raid (2005) |
"Dahl makes something wonderfully curious of this historical material: an old-fashioned war picture, with no sadder-but-wiser deconstruction, no 'updated' salty language and no strained metaphors for later, more controversial conflicts." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato |
The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005) |
"The prospect of yet another uplifting, history-based Disney sports drama sounds like enough to make a grown man pull his head off his shoulders, but this Bill Paxton-directed golfing memoir is surprisingly easy to sit through." |
Steve Schneider |
Tomato |
The Green Mile (1999) |
"A thrilling voyage." |
