Tomato 7/10 |
Galaxy Quest (1999) |
"Sometimes the lamest ideas translate into the funniest films, and Galaxy Quest is a perfect example of this strange paradox." |

Games People Play: New York (2004) |
"I was glued to the screen while I watched it, but I'm a pervert and a voyeur, and I love reality-based shows." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 9/10 |
Gangs of New York (2002) |
"There's only one question when it comes to Gangs' acting: Which Oscar is Daniel Day-Lewis going to win – Actor or Supporting Actor? Once the studio decides which category they're going to push him in, AMPAS may as well just mail him the trophy." |

The General's Daughter (1999) |

Splat 4/10 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"A franchise that should be put out of its misery." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
George Washington (2000) |
"A shockingly powerful film and, better yet, manages to do so in under 90 minutes." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Gerry (2003) |
"More so than Solaris, or even Dancer in the Dark, Gerry might be the most polarizing film to hit theatres in a long time." |

Get Carter (2000) |
"Stallone's performance is unremarkable in every way, unless you count the disgusting veins protruding from his shoulders and arms." |

Get Over It (2001) |
"Claptrap." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 4/10 |
Get Real (1999) |
"Feeling like it was filmed in (get) real time, the picture slowly winds its way through sentiments not seen this side of soap operas and bad after-school specials." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 4/10 |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"Turns out Eminem is a better faux-gangsta than 50 Cent. Now run along and bust yo dope rhymes at a Bat Mitvah before heading back to your 18-bedroom mansion in Farmington, CT. You're so street, Curtis." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) |
"[Cinematographer Robby Müller] gives Ghost Dog a dark, seedy look, and RZA’s score is likely to be one of the year’s best." |
Jon Popick |

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"This year's version of Rabbit-Proof Fence – a flick with practically zero story made more than worthwhile for the cinematography alone." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Girl, Interrupted (1999) |
"Lisa does enough screaming to land Jolie her first Oscar nomination." |
Jon Popick |

Girls Can't Swim (2002) |
"Birot's directorial debut (she co-wrote the script with Christophe Honoré) isn't so much bad as it is bland." |
Jon Popick |

Gladiator (2000) |
"A real winner." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
Glory Road (2006) |
"Another true(ish) story of a Vietnam-era sub-Mason-Dixon Line sports team played by and for Crackers, and the topsy-turvy struggle they must all undergo when the Blacks come and make them all feel intermittently uncomfortable and angry." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 3/10 |
Gods and Generals (2003) |
"A movie experience that lasts more than four hours. I wouldn't even want to make out with Jennifer Garner for more than, like, three hours." |

Godzilla 2000 (2000) |
"Neither cheesy enough to make you laugh at it, nor good enough for you to enjoy it as a conventional action flick." |

Tomato 7/10 |
Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004) |
"A classy, compelling documentary that doesn’t point fingers and doesn’t seem like the work of a borderline crackpot" |

Gone Baby Gone (2007) |
"Affleck's non-acting effort is dark, scuzzy, and authentic." |
Jon Popick |

Jon Popick |
Splat 6/10 |
The Good German (2006) |
"Soderbergh shoots the picture using only equipment and standards available in the mid-40s. If that's not the kind of thing that puts wind in your sail, then move along." |

The Good Shepherd (2006) |
"A cinematic still-birth." |
Jon Popick |

The Good Thief (2003) |
"Practically entertaining, assuming you're interested in seeing a slightly more indie, slightly more international, slightly less fun version of Ocean's 11." |

A Good Woman (2005) |
"Like a Masterpiece Theatre version of a Three's Company episode set in 1930." |

Gosford Park (2001) |
"There are some interesting things happening in Park, most notably the clashes between servant and aristocrat, as well as man and woman." |
