Game Over - Kasparov and the Machine (2003) |
"An involving character study." |

The Game Plan (2007) |

Ganges: River to Heaven (2006) |
"Gayle Ferraro's film ... takes us to one of India's holiest sites and shows how the river flows through every level of the local culture and society." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Garden State (2004) |
"It takes the comic-drama Garden State awhile to take root, but then it quickly grows on you." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 1/4 |
Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"The film is a veritable conga line of bad decisions whose guiding premise appears to be 'Never mind, kids will watch anything.'" |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006) |
"There are some humorous moments -- I stress the word moments -- but they are few and far between." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Garrison Keillor: The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes (2009) |
"The Man on the Radio in the Red Shoes is an utterly pedantic TV documentary inexplicably given life on the big screen." |
Peter Schilling |
Splat |
The General's Daughter (1999) |
"In terms of tone, the film is all over the map." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 1/4 |
Gentlemen Broncos (2009) |
"A tedious and unfocused concoction involving science fiction, plagiarism and the nightgown industry." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008) |
"It's a shame to speak ill of the dead, but Romero leaves us no alternative." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"Further evidence that you can reanimate the dead only so many times." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Georgia Rule (2007) |
"Opening with a raunchy but light comic tone, the story veers into queasy territory." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"Sometimes [50 Cent] could enunciate more clearly, but he does a great job of being a bad rapper early in Marcus' career. And most musicians will say that performing badly on purpose is one of the most difficult things for them to do." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Get Smart (2008) |
"With comic resources like this, Get Smart should have been a hoot, not just satisfactory. Missed it by that much." |

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) |
"The plot is difficult to follow, but the imagery needs no translation." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ghost Rider (2007) |
"Ghost Rider isn't good but if you catch the spirit of it, it's not terrible." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"It makes good on the cliché 'it'll make you laugh; it'll make you cry' by providing clever comedy and stock sentimentality without feeling tired." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"Douglas, radiating an arid narcissism, does look as if he was recently exhumed. Whether this is a deliberate makeup choice or unfortunate lighting is hard to guess." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gigantic (2008) |
"The characters are richly layered and well acted. John Goodman is a standout as Deschanel's dad, a rich blowhard with a sweet candy center." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2003) |
"AJ Schnack's delightful documentary on the askew duo captures their appeal so well that you could walk in knowing nothing about them and emerge a die-hard fan." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Gigli (2003) |
"A perfect storm of cinematic awfulness." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"Chabrol is a past master at visual storytelling and a stiletto wit." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Girl from Paris (2002) |
"... a realistic portrait of rural life." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"We're left wishing for more insight into the people and less into the process." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"Nobody listens in this film; everyone's just waiting for their turn to talk. At the end of the movie, everyone is alone and you have the feeling they'll stay that way." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Glory Road (2006) |
"That core audience should be generally pleased with Glory Road, a college basketball story as predictable as North Carolina's old four-corner offense." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Go For Zucker (2004) |
"Zany Zucker proves that 'German comedy' is no oxymoron, and that the country can at last find humor in its cultural and religious divide." |
Cynthia Dickison |
Tomato 3/4 |
Goal! (2006) |
"It is constructed of sports movie clichés but built on an unshakable foundation of earnestness." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
God Grew Tired of Us (2007) |
"The film is not a pity party, it's a story of resilient people bearing up under conditions few of us could imagine." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
God Is Great, I'm Not (2002) |
"The film is a confusing melange of tones and styles, one moment a romantic trifle and the next a turgid drama." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
God's Offices (2009) |
"A colorful if loosely stitched patchwork, factually informative without pedantry." |

Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry (2004) |
"Filmgoers in the mood for one more go-round will be fascinated by this documentary by George Butler." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Golden Compass (2007) |
"The action is crisply paced, the cast is committed to playing it straight, and if the script is pulling its punches, that doesn’t weaken the story’s headlong energy." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Golden Door (2007) |
"Writer/director Emanuel Crialese gives his atmospheric film a look of daguerreotype authenticity." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gomorrah (2009) |
"Gomorrah is stark and powerful filmmaking, a welcome alternative to romanticized American mob melodramas." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gone Baby Gone (2007) |
"It's deceptively simple going forward, but devilishly complex in retrospect." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008) |
"It's a fond warts-and-all portrait of a writer who stands alongside Jack Kerouac and Walt Whitman as an American original." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Good German (2006) |
"The Good German cannibalizes the cool, cynical look of those great old movies, but it's too spiritually vacant to duplicate their soul." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Good Girl (2002) |
"Once fans recover from the shock, they'll discover that this sitcom actress has the chops to tackle some pretty heavy stuff." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Good Hair (2010) |
"Morgan Spurlock, look lively. Sacha Baron Cohen, watch your back. Chris Rock's bright, wisecracking exposé Good Hair is the mane event." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Good Luck Chuck (2007) |
"Cook has a nice comic personality but zilch in the way of comic material. But then, it's not as if any of those teenage boys are going to care about that." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005) |
"We're not sure if Strathairn is playing Murrow or channeling him. Either way, we're impressed." |
Jeff Strickler |

The Good Shepherd (2006) |
"It's a rare occasion when you emerge from a sprawling three-hour movie thinking about how much they left out." |
