Tomato
3/5

Gabriel Over the White House (1933)

"A most interesting fantasy, dated and quaint by today's standards, but most interesting for its time. The idea of a president warring on the underworld and executing criminals has some appeal."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
2.5/4

Gangs of New York (2002)

"This overlong and bloated tableaux about corruption, politics, cultural clashes and personal revenge is impressive overall. Only when you return to the light of day do you realize the flaws that weigh down Scorsese’s would-be epic."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/4

Garden State (2004)

"Braff has an ear for dialogue. ... The pauses, the search for words — the right words — overflow from Braff’s script. It ... deserves an original screenplay Oscar nomination."

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/5

Gargoyles (1972)

"OK TV movie of the week. Nothing too special here."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
5/5

The General (1927)

"One of the greatest comedies ever produced. It is Keaton at his inventive best."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
2.5/4

Get Smart (2008)

""Get Smart" offers some pleasing homages to its predecessor and an adequate amount of laughs. But what the feature sorely needed was more chaos and less control."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Getaway (1972)

"A tough crime drama with a steely McQueen performance and the usual quota of Peckinpah violence."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Ghost (1990)

"A touching supernatural romance, highlighted by Whoopi Goldberg's comic Oscar-winning support."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)

"An out-of-this world love story; Tierney was never more beautiful; Harrison never as rugged or handsome. A timeless treasure."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/4

Ghost Ship (2002)

"Exposition litters Ghost Ship like barnacles on a rusty hull. At times the film sits dead in the water while characters stand around updating each other on events we’ve already seen."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Ghosts of the Abyss (2003)

"Using small robot cameras, Cameron brings the ship to life, recalling its power and splendor. "

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/5

The Giant Gila Monster (1959)

"made on a shoestring budget and it shows; bad blend of teenagers, rock music and silly lizard on patently faked sets."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003)

" This is a film that can be appreciated for its photography, sets and costuming rather than for its performances, solid though they are. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Glory (1989)

"A touching burst of patriotism; with wonderful performances by Washington and Broderick. A film worthy of remembering and repeated viewing."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

Glory Road (2006)

"What is difficult to ascertain about Glory Road is where fact ends and fiction begins."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Godfather Part III (1990)

"Not up to par with the first two, but still interesting because of Pacino."

Bob Bloom

Splat

Gods and Generals (2003)

"(Gods and Generals) is as dry as a history lecture, as distant as the Peloponnesian War."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933)

"Busby Berkeley's imaginatively-staged numbers steal the show; fun to watch, even today."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Gold Rush (1925)

"For Chaplin fans, this gift set is a treasure. For those who have never seen Chaplin, the discs serve as an entertaining introduction to a comedy colossus."

Bob Bloom

Splat
2.5/4

The Golden Compass (2007)

"Golden Compass lacks any real fantastic flair. It is a decent enough feature, but is short of that spell-binding quality that will allow audiences to embrace it."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Goldfinger (1964)

"Best of the Bonds! Connery is Aces; Odd Job a great villain's henchman; Goldfinger an evil giant of a man; and Pussy Galore, what more can one say!"

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/4

Gone Baby Gone (2007)

"Gone Baby Gone will haunt you because it does not offer any pat answers or resolutions. It is like real life, complex and messy. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Good Girl (2002)

"You walk out of The Good Girl with mixed emotions — disapproval of Justine combined with a tinge of understanding for her actions."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005)

"Good Night, and Good Luck is one of the best movies of the year, with (David) Strathairn’s performance bound to earn him a best actor Oscar nomination."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3.5/4

The Good Shepherd (2006)

"(Robert) De Niro’s pacing and editing is so precise that you don’t want the story to end."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Goodbye Girl (1977)

"Dreyfuss' Oscar-winning performance and the chemistry between him and Mason, plus Neil Simon script make this an entertaining watch."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Gosford Park (2001)

"Gosford Park is steeped in grace and style, yet an undercurrent of tension buzzes throughout the proceedings. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Gospel of John (2003)

"Besides the movie, this three-disc set offers historical background from various biblical scholars ..."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Grand Slam DVD Giftset (1942)

"... Here’s a quartet of cinematic all-stars sure to please any baseball fan. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Great Balls of Fire (1989)

"An outrageous bio-pic with Quaid over the top as Jerry Lee Lewis"

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

A Great Day in Harlem (1995)

"Wonderful documentary; great seeing all those jazz legends."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Great Dictator (1940)

"For Chaplin fans, this gift set is a treasure. For those who have never seen Chaplin, the discs serve as an entertaining introduction to a comedy colossus."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Great Escape (1963)

"This is entertainment at its pinnacle."

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/5

The Great Gatsby (1974)

"Too slow, too dull. Redford lacked the danger of Fitzgerald's creation."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

The Great McGinty (1940)

"A classic, cynical comedy about politics and corruption; still pertinent today."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Great Race (1965)

"Jack Lemmon and Peter Falk save this overblown comedy that tries too hard to be too slapstick."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Great Ziegfeld (1936)

"Overlong, cliched bio-pic, not really worthy of its best picture Oscar."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005)

"(Bill) Paxton, wisely, has directed a movie that is more than about golf. It also is a social commentary on class and overcoming social barriers."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/5

The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965)

"One of the most boring movies ever made; if Jesus was a wooden in life as he is in this movie, he would not have attracted one disciple."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

The Grey Fox (1983)

"Outstanding, understated Western; great performance by Farnsworth as an outlaw whose time has passed."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3.5/4

Grindhouse (2007)

"It is not the movies themselves that are great, though the flesh-eating zombie thriller by Rodriquez is the better of the two. Rather, it is the way they are presented."

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/5

Gross Anatomy (1989)

"silly med-school soap opera"

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

The Grudge (2004)

"The Grudge is a perfect Halloween feature, a frightening ghost story that will have you flinching and screaming. "

Bob Bloom

Splat
1.5/4

The Guardian (2006)

" The Guardian is a male soap opera with echoes of An Officer and Gentleman and enough military movie clichés to fill a book of regulations. "

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/5

Guarding Tess (1994)

"They should have pulled her detail."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
2.5/4

Guess Who (2005)

"Guess Who owes more to Meet the Parents than it does Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? (1967)

"An earnest liberal outing that today seems passive, tame and condescending, but still watchable because of the performances of Tracy, Hepburn and Poitier."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3.5/4

Gunner Palace (2005)

"The filmmakers have created a thought-provoking documentary that is at times disturbing, uncomfortable, brutal, profane and amusing."
