G-Force (2009) |
"One or two of the ideas are actually not bad – there's a rather cute joke about a mole, for instance – but for the most part, it's like running on a wheel." |
Anthony Quinn |

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"I was more excited by last week’s G-Force 3-D, if only because the guinea pigs give the better performances." |

Gandhi, My Father (2007) |
"An insight into the flawed nature of a great man." |

Genova (2008) |
"I suspect the director was aiming for a sun-blessed version of Don't Look Now, but his ghost story conjures neither suspense nor intrigue." |
Anthony Quinn |

Get Smart (2008) |
"We sit back and wait for the laughs. Which come pretty slow and infrequent, though Carell does his straight-faced best to act out the A-Z of Hilarious." |
Anthony Quinn |

Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) |
"Muddled up with philosophising about the relationship between mind and the material world." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"A warm, clever and often very funny film. On this showing, Gervais's assault on Hollywood looks winnable." |
Robert Hanks |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ghosts (2006) |
"Broomfield, inspired by Ken Loach and perhaps too by Michael Winterbottom in his exposure of the migrants' plight, has made a film surprising in its intensity and compassion." |

Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007) |
"A garbled account of state-aided terror that sheds little light on these dogs of war." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"There isn't an original thought in the film, but it bounds along amusingly." |
John Walsh |

Gigantic (2008) |
"It's kooky, it's quirky, it's dippy, it's trippy, it's loopy, it's screwy – it's indie, and boy, it's annoying." |
Anthony Quinn |

A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"One keeps hoping that some of that sinister Chabrolian wit will enliven the film's smooth surface, but alas, it never does." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Girl in the Park (2007) |
"There's a prissy self-congratulation about early parts of David Auburn's family-bereavement drama, though it got to me eventually." |

The Girlfriend Experience (2009) |
"What Soderbergh's film wants to say is uncertain: That a prostitute has business problems like everyone else? That her johns seem a pretty sleazy lot? That "everyone is a critic"? None of these qualify as revelatory." |
Anthony Quinn |

Glorious 39 (2009) |
"The cast is impressive – Julie Christie, Jenny Agutter, David Tennant, Hugh Bonneville, Christopher Lee – though more astonishing is why any of them were tempted into such tosh." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
The Golden Compass (2007) |
"In the end The Golden Compass is another expensive mishmash of CGI 'magic' and widescreen spectacle: well-acted, as you would expect, but more or less empty of anything to provoke the curiosity and intelligence of a young audience." |

Golden Door (2007) |
"The details of this chaotic odyssey to the New World are so intricately and poignantly handled that throughout a voice in your head insists: this is how it must have been." |

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson (2008) |
"This soft-headed hagiography is a disappointment, and at least half an hour too long." |
Anthony Quinn |

Good (2008) |
"Mortensen isn't bad, though he looks merely absent-minded rather than anguished." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
Good Dick (2008) |
"Marianna Palka's debut feature is a quirky, slight, self-absorbed study of romantic loners reaching out to one another in low-rent Los Angeles." |
Andy Gill |

Good Luck Chuck (2007) |
"Shoddily written." |
Anthony Quinn |

The Good Shepherd (2006) |
"De Niro deserves credit for the broad, ambitious canvas he's worked on, but his movie is just as mechanical and humourless as his protagonist." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
The Good, the Bad, the Weird (2009) |
"Some fancy setpieces here and there, and gunplay just about everywhere, but none of the principals can begin to rival the sacred trio of Eli Wallach, Lee Van Cleef and the other one." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
Goodbye Solo (2009) |
"It's touching in its way, though Bahrani's writing is not nearly as strong as his visual sense, and the denouement is perhaps too understated for its own good." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
Goya's Ghosts (2007) |
"Any film that sets its vision of Spain in the era of Inquisition and Napoleon against Goya's needs to have something pretty special to offer; this one doesn't." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Gran Torino (2008) |
"In a way it's quite touching that Eastwood still believes a man is never too old to change. One only wishes that Gran Torino were a little more subtle and a little less earnest in its operations." |

Grow Your Own (2007) |
"One could wish that this parable of difference and tolerance gladdened the heart, but its effortful comedy has quite the opposite effect. It's just weedy." |

Gun Crazy (1949) |
"This modest-looking B-movie, first seen in 1949, has acquired a substantial following in the years since – justifiably." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 1/5 |
Gunnin' for That #1 Spot (2008) |
"Unlike the 1994 basketball doc Hoop Dreams, which investigated collateral issues of education, race and money, this merely sets a twitchy hip-hop soundtrack to an unenlightening parade of eager sporting wannabes." |
