G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"Sommers seems to be operating under what he perceives as a pact between himself and his 11-year-old fanbase, to simply provide them with as much awesome **** as he's allowed to shovel at the screen." |
Ryan Stewart |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gabrielle (2005) |
"As loyal as Chéreau's film is to Conrad's story, the director expands its point of view by giving more authority to the female experience Conrad suppresses in his text." |

Splat 2/4 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"A remixed version of Elvis's "Rubberneckin'" is an apt credit sequence number, since the movie is itself a similarly trivial, jazzed-up version of a standard." |
Nick Schager |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Gamer (2009) |
"Gamer is a laborious bit of sci-fi grimness that dully updates The Running Man for the 21st century." |

Gandhi (1982) |
"Gandhi is less personal than Reds, but also less complacent than Chariots of Fire and less doddering than Lean's own orderly post-colonial apologia, A Passage to India." |

"A tapestry of intersecting Hollywood lives that illuminates nothing except for writer-director Jason Freeland's obvious fondness for Short Cuts." |
Ed Gonzalez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Garden State (2004) |
"A flawed but funny and heartfelt film that suggests: maybe you can go home again—even if that means coming back to Jersey." |
Chris Barsanti |
Tomato |
Garden State (2004) |
"New Jersey is not as ugly as Solondz would have us believe, nor is it as precious as Braff tells us, but we’ll take Garden State over Palindromes any day." |
