Tomato 3/4 |
G-Force (2009) |
"Parents already in dread of taking their children to this 3-D kids' movie by uber-producer Jerry Bruckheimer will find much to appreciate, though G-Force is lots of fun all around." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat 2/4 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"As polished and innocuous as a spin around the park on Dumbo." |
Ted Fry |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Games of Love and Chance (2005) |
"Mostly a monotonous din of kids trashing one another." |
Tom Keogh |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gangs of New York (2002) |
"Bill the Butcher is a coiled monster with a guttural voice and a sharply thrown knife; Day-Lewis brings him to glittery, intense life." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Garage Days (2003) |
"Garage Days feels like a movie that belongs in the garage; it's where you put things that you can't quite dismiss, but don't really like enough to have cluttering up your actual living quarters." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5 |
Garcon Stupide (2006) |
"It's the kind of discomforting movie that seems designed to remind you of wrong-headed or foolish moments in your own past. On that level, it may succeed only too well." |
John Hartl |
Splat 2/4 |
The Garden of Allah (1936) |
"Just another contract-player time-killer." |
John Hartl |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Garden State (2004) |
"His movie is sweet-natured and skillful, but its biggest problem is perhaps one Braff wasn't prepared to deal with: his own performance -- or, more accurately, the decision to place a deliberately flat performance at the film's heart." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"This film is unlikely to turn newcomers onto the pleasures and subtleties of Davis' work." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Gay Sex in the 70's (2005) |
"... lacks the authority of such gay documentary classics as "Word Is Out" and "Before Stonewall," which were far more inclusive." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gaza Strip (2003) |
"Presents a most persuasive vision of hell on Earth." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Genesis - Where Are We Coming From? (2005) |
"Nuridsany and Pérennou have made another breathtaking feature penetrating the unseen kingdom around us." |
Tom Keogh |
Tomato 3/4 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"Land does feel less substantial than its predecessors at a scant 92 minutes ... But its novelty and nerve are the work of the master showing those feeding on his body of work how this zombie thing is done." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 3/4 |
Georgia Rule (2007) |
"As an acting showcase -- the supporting roles are as rich as the leads -- Georgia Rule is undeniably one of the year's best American dramedies." |
Jeff Shannon |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gerry (2003) |
"The result is focused, breathtakingly gorgeous and unexpectedly droll." |
John Hartl |
Splat |
Get Carter (2000) |
"It's ... been shorn of all the edginess and seedy, unsentimental plot elements that made the original a revered cult classic." |
Mark Rahner |
Splat 2/4 |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"The story and action are serviceable, but there's very little spark in the wooden screen presence of the star and the dearth of subtext or style from the director." |
Ted Fry |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Get Smart (2008) |
"Despite what seemed (in the trailers, at least) like inspired casting of Steve Carell, the perpetrators of Get Smart almost entirely miss what made the Cold War TV spy comedy funny." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato |
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) |
"Drily funny." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) |
"Its intentions aren't as clear as they should be, but it's clearly the work of a deep-thinking artist with a fearful concern for a future in which the nature of humanity is entirely uncertain." |
Jeff Shannon |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ghost Rider (2007) |
"Every supporting character phones it in." |
Mark Rahner |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ghost Ship (2002) |
"Truly a cinematic albatross, Ghost Ship should be enjoyed after sipping some Halloween grog." |
Melanie McFarland |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"Fans of Gervais' awkward, caustic brand of humor should be pleased to see him in a big Hollywood movie that'll make him more of a household name." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato |
Ghost World (2001) |
"Comedic and bittersweet, a wacky trip to which anyone can relate." |
Melanie McFarland |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007) |
"More horrific than any tale from the crypt Hollywood could conceive." |
Ted Fry |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"Ghosts of Girlfriends Past doesn't do Dickens any favors, but in a year that brought us Bride Wars, it'll do." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"A mesmerizing journey, made all the more immediate by its reach-out-and- touch-it 3-D." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat |
The Gift (2001) |
"Raimi's latest picture, The Gift, looks like an attempt to create a classier version of the kind of horror movie that established his reputation nearly two decades ago." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2003) |
"Tries to be as irreverent and bouncy as a song by its subject, and succeeds for the most part." |
Erik Lundegaard |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Gigli (2003) |
"Falls somewhere between horrible and laughably awful." |
Emily Russin |
Tomato 3/4 |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"More than a century later, this is still a juicy story, and the actors don't back away from its more hysterical flourishes." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Girl From Monaco (2009) |
"Despite Bourgoin's dazzling presence, it's the hollow-eyed Luchini who quietly takes over the film." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
The Girl from Monday (2006) |
"Hal Hartley's 'fake sci-fi movie about the way we live now' is a misfire, suggesting occasional winks of satire while taking itself so seriously that you're left wondering when to laugh." |
Jeff Shannon |
Splat 1/4 |
The Girl Next Door (2004) |
"It appears to not only be made for hormone-crazed adolescents, but by them." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time (2008) |
"This is one of the most thoughtfully engaging anime features to reach these shores, and a perfect place to start for anyone, of any age, who's been resistant to anime (and manga) as a popular Japanese import." |
Jeff Shannon |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Both lovely to look at and intriguing to hold in the mind." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat |
Girlfight (2000) |
"It's a one-note concept -- a girl rather than boy as young boxer -- that sadly never bothers to examine much beyond its premise." |
Dave McCoy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"It's a brief 77 minutes of vague, pretty blankness; a mere sketch of a character -- and a movie." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Girls Can't Swim (2002) |
"Until its final minutes this is a perceptive study of two families in crisis -- and of two girls whose friendship is severely tested by bad luck and their own immaturity." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Girls Rock! (2008) |
"Girls Rock! happily pulls off the trick of being both entertaining and moving; grown-up girls may well watch with an occasional tear as we see the campers subtly transform." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Girls Will Be Girls (2003) |
"There are more belly laughs here than belly flops." |
John Hartl |
Splat 1/4 |
The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007) |
"Sachiko Hanai is pretty much just raunch, much like the stuff that insinuates itself onto late-night premium channel programming. And which gets old fast." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat |
The Glass House (2001) |
"The sort of thriller in which you can immediately tell, at any character's appearance, whether he'll live to see the final credits." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts (2008) |
"Hicks structures Glass in 12 vignettes, each highlighting a different aspect of Glass' life, and some are more compelling than others." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gloomy Sunday (2003) |
"A nicely weepy melodrama." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Glory Road (2006) |
"OK, so you really don't need me to tell you about Glory Road if you've ever seen a sports movie before. Just get out your sports-movie-cliché checklist and a pencil." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Go For Zucker (2004) |
"A fine farce about discovering the meaning of 'family' under peculiar circumstances." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Go Further (2004) |
"You want to yell 'Focus!' not at the projectionist in the booth but at the activists on the screen." |
Erik Lundegaard |
Tomato |
Go Tigers! (2001) |
"A smart and often mesmerizing look at how high-school sports can hold a medium-sized town in its grip." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Goal! (2006) |
"No matter where the film carries you, it always gets back to the love of the game." |
