Splat 1.5/4 |
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"It's just stupid and inept, which are not uncommon traits at the tail end of the summer movie season." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"Please: No Game Plan 2." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Gangs of New York (2002) |
"At its best, the movie gives you a taste of the epic Scorsese intended, an epic that, sadly, will forever remain in the filmmaker's imagination." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Garcon Stupide (2006) |
"Candor elevates the material from simply being a series of X-rated exploits to a far more insightful story about how the path to manhood is paved with selfish mistakes, some far more regrettable than others." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 3/4 |
Garden State (2004) |
"Garden State may not define an entire generation, but it has a sharp eye for the passive aimlessness that can take hold when young adults realize there's no handbook on how to find purpose and meaning in life." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 1/4 |
Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"I'm not a Garfield purist or anything, but at the very least, shouldn't this movie be funny?" |
Peter Debruge |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006) |
"It all makes for a relatively painless first hour or so, right up until Garfield's big 'let them eat lasagna' scene." |
Peter Debruge |
Splat 1/4 |
Garrincha, Estrella Solitaria (2003) |
"What a shame such a rich and tumultuous life gets such poor treatment." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Gatekeeper (2002) |
"Despite its flaws, The Gatekeeper will keep you engaged." |
Marta Barber |
Splat 2/4 |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"Shot on a low budget with mostly unknown actors, Diary of the Dead isn't exactly involving on a dramatic level: You really never care who lives or dies, a fatal flaw for any horror film." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2.5/4 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"Land of the Dead is a perfectly adequate horror romp, but it's hard to imagine anyone remembering it five years from now." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 1/4 |
Georgia Rule (2007) |
"You can see what they are striving for, but Georgia Rule is so artificial, it feels like more of a flow chart than a slice of life." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gerry (2003) |
"There's a purity of purpose in Gerry -- a clean, unwavering focus -- that makes the movie feel strangely exhilarating, even when nothing is happening on the screen." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"For those who don't take 50 Cent's talent for granted going in, there's nothing to indicate what's so special about him, much less why he of all people deserves to have a movie made about his experiences." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 3/4 |
Get Smart (2008) |
"It's not going to redefine comedy as we know it, but it's amusing and briskly paced, busy with an engaging mix of supporting actors." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"The painfully awkward, stubby Gervais as romantic lead is a funny enough concept, but the actor's ongoing banter with Kinnear is engaging, and their styles mesh entertainingly." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato |
Ghost World (2001) |
"Subtle, deeply humane." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007) |
"Ghosts of Cite Soleil is too brief and limited in scope to provide a complete picture of Haiti's turbulent history, but its images of how so many of its citizens live and die on a daily basis -- is both heartbreaking and unforgettable." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"The remarkable 3-D photography, which adds amazing depth and detail to the projected image, makes even the pointless passages absorbing." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato |
The Gift (2001) |
"A modest entertainment." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 1/4 |
Gigli (2003) |
"It's the sort of bizarre, ill-conceived picture you can't believe exists, but are secretly glad it does." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Ginger & Cinnamon (2003) |
"It's a summer love story without heat and a coming-of-age story that never matures." |
Marta Barber |
Splat |
The Girl (2001) |
"Unfortunately, what you'll remember most are a pretty face and the hot and steamy sex scenes. That is not enough." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Girl from Paris (2002) |
"Slow-moving but utterly delightful." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Lavish attention to historical detail, the thorough immersion in this unusual world and Johansson's impressive performance make Girl With a Pearl Earring memorable but not a masterpiece." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato |
Gladiator (2000) |
"A movie that revels in the primal thrill of swords tearing into flesh and blood spraying in huge, arterial gouts." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat |
Glitter (2001) |
"Glitter, the kind of movie only 11-year-old girls who dot their i's with hearts would find bearable, is filled with unintentionally humorous moments that tower over any comedy released this year." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Glory Road (2006) |
"In the end, a sports movie is only as good as the adrenalin rush it provides in the climactic match, and there, finally, Glory Road hits on all cylinders with nonstop action and a powerful emotional impact." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Glue (2005) |
"There isn't a moment in the movie you feel you've seen done quite this way before." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato |
Go (1999) |
"Thrillingly clever and fresh!" |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Go For Zucker (2004) |
"Go for Zucker is far from a perfect film but it brings easy laughter and joy." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Goal! (2006) |
"Goal! is right up there with the terrific Akeelah and the Bee (another underdog now in theaters) in the way it draws you in and keeps you rooting for its lower class but highly talented hero." |
Peter Debruge |
Splat 2/4 |
God Is Great, I'm Not (2002) |
"The plot grows thin soon, and you find yourself praying for a quick resolution." |
Marta Barber |
Splat 1/4 |
God's Sandbox (2002) |
"The film falls into a melodramatic and soapy love story that makes you cringe as much as the horrific scenes of the brutal circumcision." |
Marta Barber |
Splat 1/4 |
Godsend (2004) |
"An unsatisfying, overly restrained bore." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Going Shopping (2006) |
"Going Shopping can make a wonderful outing for girlfriends. It's fun." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 3/4 |
Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004) |
"The movie is guaranteed to engage the decided and undecided alike, regardless of party affiliations." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 1/4 |
The Golden Boys (2009) |
"Trying to sit through The Golden Boys is like trudging across the Cape Cod sand in galoshes during a nor'easter with a mule on your back." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Golden Compass (2007) |
"Beautiful to look at, but where's its heart?" |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Golden Door (2007) |
"Director Emanuele Crialese passes no judgments, capturing the mundane and miraculous alike." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gone Baby Gone (2007) |
"A film that indicates its first-time director knows what he's doing." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat |
Gone in 60 Seconds (2000) |
"Gone in 60 Seconds, a car theft caper starring Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie's lips, is slickly produced pornography for the sports car lover, and little more." |
Charles Savage |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Good Boy! (2003) |
"No, this isn't the stuff of a kiddie classic like Holes. But, to quote from another movie with a vocal four-legged protagonist, it'll do." |
Christine Dolen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Good Bye, Lenin! (2004) |
"Good Bye, Lenin! fares even better as a straightforward story about a mother and son." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
The Good German (2006) |
"There isn't a moment in this self-conscious, uninvolving movie when you aren't aware you are watching an experiment, which might make a good lesson for film school students on what not to do." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Good Girl (2002) |
"Aniston's performance conclusively proves something she had only hinted at before: She's the Friend most likely to become a bona fide movie star." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Good Hair (2010) |
"Rock takes aim at the truth and humor of this potent cultural question with a sharp wit and lively curiousity, even if he doesn't pursue vigorously enough its uglier side." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005) |
"There's no sense of nostalgia to the picture, no wistful romanticism or longing. Instead, the movie has a steely, dead-serious vitality -- a sense of immediacy and urgency that makes it seem it could be happening right now." |
Rene Rodriguez |

The Good Shepherd (2006) |
"The Good Shepherd, for all its noble intentions, manages to make even espionage boring." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Good Thief (2003) |
"A sparkling exercise in movie cool." |
