Game Over - Kasparov and the Machine (2003) |

The Game Plan (2007) |
"The film wears its inspirational family values on its sleeve in such an overstated way that it's clear that no one involved really believes them for a minute. It is so contrived and so careful not to offend that it has no real energy." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B+ |
Games of Love and Chance (2005) |
"Abdellatif Kechiche's beautifully observed tale of high-school kids in the projects outside Paris... plays like a Cassavetes project in a fresh, young mode." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B |
Gangs of New York (2002) |
"It's something of the ultimate Scorsese film, with all the stomach-turning violence, colorful New York gang lore and other hallmarks of his personal cinema painted on their largest-ever historical canvas." |
William Arnold |
Tomato C+ |
Garage Days (2003) |
"Alex Proyas directs with high energy and brash innocence and has a grand time putting his technology and technique to work in such a lark." |
Sean Axmaker |

Garcon Stupide (2006) |
"... shot-on-video feature has an improvisational quality meant to look natural. Mostly it's tedious..." |

Garden Party (2008) |
"They're not a likeable bunch, to be sure, but the bigger problem is that there's little resonance to their stories." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B- |
Garden State (2004) |
"Garden State is so full of wit and the genuine heart of characters that you can't help but care about what happens to them." |
Paula Nechak |

Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"This isn't a movie, it's a marketing ploy." |
Sean Axmaker |

The General's Daughter (1999) |
"Not a single scene or character rings true, and shame on anyone who can't pick out the murderer in the first reel." |
William Arnold |
Splat C |
Genesis - Where Are We Coming From? (2005) |
"Fascinating as these spiders and frogs must be to one another, a human being need not be put into such close proximity to their private dances." |

George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"The motivations of the citizens aren't necessarily altruistic, but that fits nicely with Romero's balance of pragmatism and ambiguity." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B+ |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"The social commentary isn't subtle, but Romero delivers the goods so effectively that many won't even notice." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B |
George Washington (2000) |
"It looks unusually good for an indie (it was shot in 35mm and widescreen) and it has some wonderfully naturalistic scenes." |
William Arnold |
Splat C+ |
Georgia Rule (2007) |
"[A] lively and occasionally funny but ultimately disappointing comedic drama." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B |
Gerry (2003) |
"... as abstract an American film as you'll ever see starring a Hollywood golden boy, less a story than a striking and compelling experiment in filmmaking." |
Sean Axmaker |
Splat C- |
Get Carter (2000) |
"The movie around Stallone is fairly dreadful, so overly stylized and poorly written that it's always a struggle to stay oriented." |

Get Real (1999) |
"It allows its kids to be themselves and to simply 'be' without judgment. That's an empowering enough message for any movie." |
Paula Nechak |
Splat F |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"Get Rich or Die Tryin' is a disaster on all levels." |
Bill White |
Tomato B+ |
Get Smart (2008) |

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) |
"Jarmusch gets an absorbing and fascinating performance from Whitaker." |
Paula Nechak |
Tomato B+ |
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) |
"The cyberpunk metaphysics at the core of the intellectually demanding mystery are more demanding than the ideas behind most American science-fiction films." |
Sean Axmaker |

Ghost Ship (2002) |
"(Director Steve) Beck wants to dazzle the audience. I'd settle for a story." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B- |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"[Ricky] Gervais underplays the boorishness and the reflexive humor that charms [Tea] Leoni... and their byplay gives the unlikely relationship a ghost of a chance of working." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B+ |
Ghost World (2001) |
"Skillfully -- and uncompromisingly -- creates its own world and uniquely pessimistic vision." |
William Arnold |
Splat D |
Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007) |
"Dutch director Leth is so enamored of the ugliness of it all that he doesn't even try to penetrate the noisy bravado that obscures the patches of truth that lie beneath the surface." |
Bill White |
Tomato A- |
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"What makes the film special -- and gives it an eerie punch -- is Cameron's computer-generated effect of periodically superimposing images on various positions of the wreck." |
William Arnold |
Splat C |
The Gift (2001) |
"A clumsy, heavy-handed and unnecessarily sordid occult thriller that somehow has managed to generate a big pre-release buzz." |
William Arnold |
Splat C+ |
Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2003) |
"As a film, Gigantic is excessive and poorly structured." |
Bill White |

Gigli (2003) |
"Anyone on the Internet grapevine already has the news: Gigli is this summer's rotten egg." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato A- |
Ginger Snaps (2001) |
"There's a nice undercurrent of black humor that mines absurdities from an adolescent perspective, but this is no Buffy the Vampire Slayer." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B+ |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"Under the cool tone is a devastating portrait of an unapologetically sexual woman treated more as an object than a person." |
Sean Axmaker |
Tomato B |
The Girl from Monday (2006) |
"A snarky satire of consumerism in the guise of pseudo sci-fi." |
Sean Axmaker |
Splat D |
The Girl Next Door (2004) |
"Despite the cynical cleverness and slick direction by Luke Greenfield, (it) favors giggly juvenile humor over inspired satire and ends up not with a moral, but a moral vacuum." |

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2008) |
"While the animation is only so-so, Mamoru is a good storyteller with a firm grasp on both the story and characters." |
Bill White |
Tomato B |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Its sets are a gallery of sumptuous still lifes, and every shot could have been set up by the master himself: radiant with light, vibrant with color, composed with an almost hypnotic symmetry and equilibrium." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B- |
Girl, Interrupted (1999) |
"While it's no One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or even on a par with Frank Perry's fragile porcelain puzzle, David and Lisa, the film has its strengths." |
Paula Nechak |

Girlfight (2000) |
"A genre-twisting surprise." |

The Glass House (2001) |
"There are some glaring second-act continuity problems and by the time we got to the inevitable bloodletting climax, a Seattle preview audience was roaring at the film's glaring predictability." |
William Arnold |
Tomato B |
Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008) |
"Although rich in family scrapbooks and anecdotes, Scott Hicks' documentary on composer Philip Glass is a portrait of the artist in the present tense." |
Bill White |

Glastonbury (2007) |
"... captures the open-air rock festival experience more completely than any previous film of its kind." |
