G (2002)

"The filmmakers are going for something operatic here with their mix of love and loss, rap and race. They miss. By a lot."

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)

"[Director] Sommers did the first two chaotic Mummy remakes; those play like Tender Mercies compared to this one."

Galaxy Quest (1999)

"It's a clever premise but not one that lends itself to an hour and 42 minutes of high jinks."

Games People Play: New York (2004)

"99 minutes of excruciating 'reality.'"

Garage Days (2003)

"This movie could only work if the jokes were funny, and writers David Warner and Michael Udesky don't deliver the goods."

Garden State (2004)

"Braff, now a proven triple-threat, is blessed with his own comic chops, an eye for the small details of regular life and a simple, straightforward directorial style."

Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)

"I've always had a soft spot for Garfield, and this may account, at least in part, for the fact that I enjoyed a lot of this movie. When the humans have the sense to keep quiet, and the animals are doing their shtick, there's great fun to be had."

The Gates (2007)

"Anyone with an interest in contemporary art on a heroic scale should find Christo's practice fascinating."

The General's Daughter (1999)

"A self-destructive movie."

George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)

"The way Diary of the Dead chooses to deliver its gore, you know you're in the hands of a grown-up uninterested in the excesses of the Saw or Hostel pictures."

Georgia Rule (2007)

"Maybe Georgia Rule should be required viewing for Paris Hilton during her term in the slammer. But not for us."

Get Carter (2000)

"The result is Get Carter for dummies, the biggest ones being those who pay to see it. It's also an incoherent, irredeemable mess."

Get Smart (2008)

"Missed it by that much. Actually, the new version of Get Smart misses by a fair-size margin. It's too bad. It's just trying to give us a good time at the retroplex."

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)

"Those able to pick through the hiss-tangled web of circuitry and wiring will find Ghost in the Shell 2 an electrically-charged philosophical action movie."

Ghost World (2001)

"Enid and Rebecca ring true. Their attitudes seem real; so do their dilemmas."

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)

"Despite my McConaughey resistance I got more guilty chuckles from Ghosts of Girlfriends Past than Failure to Launch or Four Christmases."

The Gift (2001)

"Within its limits, it has rock-solid craftsmanship and a dream cast that may be better than the material."

Gigli (2003)

"Put together enough pointless, random details, and you get Gigli, a movie that's less incompetent than bewildering."

A Girl Cut in Two (2008)

"Spectacularly assured, A Girl Cut in Two keeps you off-balance as it establishes a world where every conversation is a flirtation, and trouble and heartbreak sneak in on little cat feet when no one’s looking."

The Girl Next Door (2004)

"Well matched with Cuthbert's nicely vulnerable performance, [Hirsch and Cuthbert] create a believable relationship on screen, despite the contrived nerd-meets-sexpot circumstances."

Girlfight (2000)

"Will please many. It's a shame it's no knockout."

Girls Rock (2004)

"There's too little clarity or thoroughness in the biographies, too few prolonged scenes of the girls creating their songs."

Girls Will Be Girls (2003)

"While Day doesn't succeed in making us empathize with anyone on screen, he makes his characters definitely watchable and his dialogue crackles."

The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007)

"Conceptually outlandish but routinely executed, this comic exploration of macho, control-freaky power struggles the world over remains skin-deep."

Glastonbury (2007)

"The portrait is spectacular and inclusive, if sometimes a bit overwhelming and confusing."
