Tomato
B

Galaxy Quest (1999)

"An affectionate, riotously funny parody that freely takes jabs at various elements of its subject but never seems mean-spirited or malintentioned."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B+

Games People Play: New York (2004)

"A curious thing: a reality game show that plays us."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

Gangs of New York (2002)

"One of the darkest visions of humanity I have ever seen."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

Garden State (2004)

"A simplistic and insincere character piece with elements of smug comedy."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
D+

Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)

"The old convention says that a critic should judge a film in relation to what it sets out to achieve. But there must be a point where a film sets out to achieve so little that the guideline ceases to be useful."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

Gattaca (1997)

"A well-directed, visually stunning morally complex tale. There is no gene for a good movie."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
2/4

The General's Daughter (1999)

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

Gerry (2003)

"A rich, challenging mood piece that may not cohere thematically but takes us on a compelling, unique journey."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

Get Over It (2001)

"The movie is short, watchable, and altogether serviceable. But that's not enough."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B+

Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999)

"I can scarcely think of ways to improve this engrossing, original, near-brilliant production."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
D+

Ghost Ship (2002)

"If it doesn't reach the level of awfulness embodied by 13 Ghosts, it gets pretty close."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

Ghost Town (2008)

"Some of the moving parts squeak, especially toward the end. But it's still largely a pleasure."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
A

Ghost World (2001)

"The better, unpretentious version of The Catcher in the Rye that Salinger never wrote."

Eugene Novikov

-

The Gift (2001)

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C+

Gigli (2003)

"The suspense is not so much whether they will have sex and/or fall in love, but how the script will get around the lesbian angle to get to it."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

The Girl Next Door (2004)

"It says a lot that while I spent the entire running time staring at Elisha Cuthbert, I still noticed an amazing performance by Emile Hirsch."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)

"We talk pejoratively of films being soporific, but this one sort of lulls you into a restful complacency."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

Girl, Interrupted (1999)

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
A-

Gladiator (2000)

"This is a big, all-stops-out blockbuster and it delivers."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

The Glass House (2001)

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C-

Glory Road (2006)

"This film fails not because it is conventional, but because it is lazy and dumb -- unworthy of its subject matter."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
3/4

Go (1999)

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

God Grew Tired of Us (2007)

"The importance of the material and Quinn's approach to it allow God Grew Tired of Us to transcend its pedestrian cinematic virtues."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

Gods and Generals (2003)

"I would just like to mention something to director Ronald F. Maxwell, parenthetically and completely as an aside: the South lost."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
3.5/4

Gods and Monsters (1998)

Eugene Novikov

Splat
D+

Godsend (2004)

"Opens promisingly and spins its wheels for a while before descending into complete, laughable incoherence."

Eugene Novikov

-

Godzilla (1998)

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

The Golden Compass (2007)

"The problem is not that The Golden Compass has been stripped of its rabble-rousing anti-Christian content, though it surely has been. The problem is that the rest of it has been sterilized too."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

Gone in 60 Seconds (2000)

"Maybe more Angelina Jolie would have helped."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C+

Good Boy! (2003)

"The high concept almost guarantees complete awfulness. In the face of such overwhelming odds most films would give up, but Good Boy! goes down fighting."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C+

The Good Girl (2002)

"I liked individual moments in The Good Girl, but it takes an illogical approach to its storyline."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005)

"George Clooney's sophomore directorial effort comes off as authentic but awfully thin and uneventful."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

The Good Thief (2003)

"The Good Thief is spry, quirky, morose, entertaining, tedious, slow, loose and quotable. In a word: it's uneven."

Eugene Novikov

-

Good Will Hunting (1997)

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

A Good Woman (2005)

"It's brief, frivolous, and extremely entertaining even as some of it seems forced, and the film lacks the elegance of Wilde's wordplay."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C-

Goodbye, 20th Century (2000)

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

Gothika (2003)

"Great acting, stylish cinematography, nifty scares; too bad the story makes absolutely no sense, leaving an unprecedented amount of "but wait, how did.." questions unanswered."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
F

Grandma's Boy (2006)

"There is no movie. There is only the fact that Adam Sandler has cronies, and Adam Sandler gets what he wants."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C+

Gray Matters (2007)

"In cheerfully embracing the sitcom's limitations, Kramer resigns her film to a sort of amiable mediocrity."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

The Great Debaters (2007)

"It goes down easy, has some great scenes, and knows how to tug on the heartstrings. But unlike its characters, it settles for less."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

The Great Raid (2005)

"As the movie shuffles along the plotlines, the momentum drains to zero."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
A-

The Green Mile (1999)

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
A-

The Grey Zone (2002)

"If this story must be told and retold -- and indeed it must -- then The Grey Zone is to be lauded for finding a new and ingenious angle."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C+

Grimm (2003)

"Doesn't toy with the concept nearly enough for my tastes, content to be a vaguely quirky dark comedy."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C-

Grind (2003)

"Will mostly be remembered as the wasted first starring role in the hopefully lengthy career of the very, very talented Adam Brody."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

Grizzly Man (2005)

"Notable for its depiction of nature as alien and unforgiving, frightening in its cold majesty."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C-

The Grudge (2004)

"It's like a demo reel for Shimizu, who may be a competent technical craftsman but doesn't show even so much as a desire to tell a story."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

The Guardian (2006)

"Begins as the sort of glossy, well-made Hollywood movie I usually like, and by the end reaches supreme heights of silliness."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C+

Guess Who (2005)

"It's funny enough, and surprisingly well-written in individual scenes, but why, in the end, does it strive for so little?"

Eugene Novikov
