[movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      Garage Days (2003)      "Alex Proyas directs with high energy and brash innocence and has a grand time putting his technology and technique to work in such a lark." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      Garcon Stupide (2006)      "... shot-on-video feature has an improvisational quality meant to look natural. Mostly it's tedious..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C-      Garden Party (2008)      "They're not a likeable bunch, to be sure, but the bigger problem is that there's little resonance to their stories." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Gattaca (1997)      "The sleek, handsome look makes the most of a limited budget to create the cold, emotionless surface of a world where everyone lives in dire fear of someone finding out their own private secret." [dvd review]      MSN.com            The Gaucho (1928)      "... one of the best, most mature and most interesting films in his career." [movie review]      Parallax View       B      George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)      "The motivations of the citizens aren't necessarily altruistic, but that fits nicely with Romero's balance of pragmatism and ambiguity." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005)      "The social commentary isn't subtle, but Romero delivers the goods so effectively that many won't even notice." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Gerry (2003)      "... as abstract an American film as you'll ever see starring a Hollywood golden boy, less a story than a striking and compelling experiment in filmmaking." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)      "The cyberpunk metaphysics at the core of the intellectually demanding mystery are more demanding than the ideas behind most American science-fiction films." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            The Ghost Rider (1935)      "... visual effects and the kind of bad pulp dialogue that gives comic books a bad name completely take over the film..." [dvd review]      MSN.com       C      Ghost Ship (2002)      "(Director Steve) Beck wants to dazzle the audience. I'd settle for a story." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Ghost Town (2008)      "[Ricky] Gervais underplays the boorishness and the reflexive humor that charms [Tea] Leoni... and their byplay gives the unlikely relationship a ghost of a chance of working." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       D      Gigli (2003)      "Anyone on the Internet grapevine already has the news: Gigli is this summer's rotten egg." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Ginger Snaps (2001)      "The most inspired piece of female-centered horror since A Company of Wolves." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       A-      Ginger Snaps (2001)      "There's a nice undercurrent of black humor that mines absurdities from an adolescent perspective, but this is no Buffy the Vampire Slayer." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      A Girl Cut in Two (2008)      "Under the cool tone is a devastating portrait of an unapologetically sexual woman treated more as an object than a person." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      The Girl from Monday (2006)      "A snarky satire of consumerism in the guise of pseudo sci-fi." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       D      The Girl Next Door (2004)      "Despite the cynical cleverness and slick direction by Luke Greenfield, (it) favors giggly juvenile humor over inspired satire and ends up not with a moral, but a moral vacuum." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       7/10      The Girl on the Bridge (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      The Glamorous Life Of Sachiko Hanai (2007)      "More entertaining for its impudence than its execution..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      The Gleaners and I (2001)      "You couldn’t ask more loving and sensitive illumination of an activity more often considered demeaning." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      Gloomy Sunday (2003)      "Like a lushly histrionic Hollywood production of old, there is something compelling and shamelessly entertaining in the operatic overkill." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Go For Zucker (2004)      "A brash, energetic, cheerfully slovenly comedy with broadly drawn characters and big performances…" [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      Go Further (2004)      "[Director Ron Mann] devotes little time to really exploring the issues, leaving the film a patchwork of assertions that, while they may be true, have to be taken on faith." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      God Grew Tired of Us (2007)      "The sobering portrait is a rather conventional production that moves on to the next bullet point with an efficiency in place of exploration." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       6/10      Godzilla 2000 (2000)      "[Godzilla] deserves better than this overripe afterthought." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)      "... a blithely campy, altogether good-natured love letter to the classic Godzilla films of the 1960s and 1970s directed by... Japan's adolescent action stylist." [movie review]      St@tic Multimedia       C+      The Golden Bowl (2001)      "... take a richly ironic tale that should leave no character unsullied and transform it into a staid, stiff melodrama of heroes, villains and simple betrayal." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            The Golden Compass (2007)      "... a handsome and grandly realized big-screen adventure." [dvd review]      MSN.com       A      Golden Door (2007)      "Painted onscreen in a hypnotic mix of hypercharged naturalism and magic realism, Golden Door is not about the destination but the journey." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Gomorrah (2009)      "The sprawl makes it hard to follow... but it makes its point about the reach of the Camorra and the culture it has spawned." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Gone Baby Gone (2007)      "It's a PI movie with the feel of an indie drama..." [dvd review]      MSN.com       B-      The Good Girl (2002)      "At its best, The Good Girl is a refreshingly adult take on adultery..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Good Luck Chuck (2007)      "It's all pretty lewd and crude, with excess and exposure and grotesque fat gags passing for humor." [dvd review]      MSN.com       A      The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)      "There are two kinds of people, my friend. Those who love Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and those who resist the machismo and gallows humor of what is arguably the definitive spaghetti western." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Goodbye Dragon Inn (2004)      "... at once an elegy for the communal experience of cinema-going and another quintessentially Tsai portrait of loneliness and isolation." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       A      Gosford Park (2001)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       6/10      Gossip (2000)      "It's entertaining in a trashy sort of way." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Gothika (2003)      "... an effectively engineered thriller (if you) accept the B-movie psycho-babble and an ending that begs blind indulgence." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Gozu (2004)      "... prime evidence in the argument that gonzo gangster movie maverick Takashi Miike is a major director goofing on minor works." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      The Grand (2008)      "[Director Zak] Penn eases into the candid style and subdued rhythms of the mockumentary with a breezy confidence." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       7/10      Grass (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Great Expectations (1946)      "Lean fills Great Expectations with a wealth of visual detail and vivid characters and personalities... and he directs with a warmth and humor..." [movie review]      Turner Classic Movies Online       C-      Green Street Hooligans (2005)      "... a mess of romanticized notions of street honor and camaraderie in combat, pushed into hollow melodrama..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       A-      The Grey Zone (2002)      "The gray could have sucked the life out of the film, but Nelson drives the story as if racing toward a deadline." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      Grind (2003)      "Breezily unmemorable and not nearly as raucous as it thinks it is, Grind hits all the usual buttons" [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Grizzly Man (2005)      "Herzog is even more fascinated by [Treadwell's] contradictions, his blind passion, and his inflated sense of privilege..." [movie review]      Parallax View       8/10      Groove (2000)      "Pleasantly modest, endearingly etched and briskly set to a pounding beat." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      The Ground Truth (2006)      "Anyone who claims to support the troops owes it to them to see the film and hear their stories." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer
