Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       0.5/4      The Game of Their Lives (2005)      "David and Goliath roll in their graves." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Gangs of New York (2002)      "Beginning as Martin Scorsese's Apocalypse Now, by the end of the auteur's thirty-year dream of Gangs of New York, it more resembles his Titanic." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Garage Days (2003)      "Swatting flies with Buicks is effective, but it's overkill at best and showing off at its worst." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Garden State (2004)      "A worn rock skipping along a smooth, glassy surface." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Garfield the Movie (2004)      "I'm not betting on a sudden resurgence of interest in a long-comatose strip that battles "Family Circus" weekly for most-appalling artifact of the popular taste." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Gattaca (1997)      "It predicts the way the world would change in 2001--and how our films would reflect that change." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Gaz Bar Blues (2003)      "It cares enough about its creations to forgive a multitude of sins." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005)      "The main problem of Land of the Dead is that it's lame." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)      "Marcus sells dope. Marcus buys a gun. Marcus buys a microphone. Marcus goes to prison. Marcus gets shot. Marcus makes a movie about his life that no one goes to see." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Get Smart (2008)      "A smart update, with a hero who has transformed his humiliations and frailties into, of all things, maturity and empathy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Ghost (1990)      "Ghost is a movie about corporate malfeasance and greed, aided by bloody awful early CGI and predicting the basic flippancy of Forrest Gump and American Beauty. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)      "It is a conceit that offers the insight, not surprising perhaps, that humans are indistinguishable from machines." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Ghost Ship (1943)      "It's almost noir in its pitting of an individual against a closed society." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Ghost World (2001)      "Ghost World soars with the poetry of Buscemi's performance." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)      "appalling, hateful, reptilian, inept" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Gidget (1959)      "the clueless parents provide that Golden Age anchor to the piece that rings disquieting in the face of all the real wolves their Gidget is facing alone in the pathless wood." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Gidget Goes Hawaiian (1961)      "Mounts a case as the real progenitor of the Frankie and Annette beach blanket bingo cycle." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Gidget Goes to Rome (1963)      "Nightmarish and absurd in equal portion." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2003)      "While a contrary viewpoint would have been welcome, Gigantic: A Tale of Two Johns is, occasionally, more than modestly successful--a little like the band itself." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Gigli (2003)      "Gigli attracts venom mostly for its cast: the mortal blunder of believing that either Affleck or Lopez has Brest's courage to look foolish, and nobility to fail with principle." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Ginger Snaps Back: The Beginning (2004)      "In Canadian cinema, sex is either perfunctory, ugly, forced, or involves a dead person." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Girl from Paris (2002)      "A dance to a post-war ditty shared by old man who misses the daughter he never knew--and a young woman who identifies him as the father of her imagined past." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Girl Next Door (2004)      "Mature enough to talk the talk but not nearly courageous enough to walk the walk." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Girl on the Bridge (1999)      "A lovely, hopelessly romantic little bauble that catches the light no matter how you turn it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      A Glimpse of Hell (2001)      "A made-for-TV docudrama that breeds Edward Dmytryk's The Caine Mutiny with Rob Reiner's A Few Good Men, A Glimpse of Hell impresses only with its dedication to mediocrity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Glory Road (2006)      "Exacerbates difficult issues by blowing them into underdog sports cliches and, more damning, race caricatures and slapstick, sitcom misunderstandings and pat rapprochements." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Go (1999)      "It's fantastic stuff." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Go Master (2006)      "One of the few pictures deserving of the description "visual poem."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Go Tigers! (2001)      "a caution against an entire American culture grown fat, brutal, and stupid on their own frugal repast of bread and circus" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Go West (1940)      "The conflict of comedic styles results in a discordant experience at best, but the bits that are pure Marx Bros. are gold." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Gods and Generals (2003)      "A stultifying tribute to the pathological meticulousness of (largely Southern) Civil War recreationists." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Godsend (2004)      "A cheat of the worst kind." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Golden Compass (2007)      "The worst crime of a film like this is that not only is it retarded, it expects its audience to be retarded as well." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Gomorrah (2009)      "A war photographer's journal, taken at ground zero of the essential, inescapable tragedy of being human." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Gone Baby Gone (2007)      "The old maxim about the road to Hell literalized in this exceptional procedural." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Good Advice (2001)      "It's like that pair of old sneakers: it stinks, but it's a stink you like." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Good German (2006)      "Inasmuch as a self-consuming experiment can succeed, it succeeds." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005)      "Rigorous and principled. . . but neither provocative nor stylish enough to inspire." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Good Shepherd (2006)      "Hardly a lightning bolt, and hardly one that deserves 160 deadening minutes of misdirection and repetition." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Goodbye Dragon Inn (2004)      "It's a trance and a chant, a ritual of filmmaking that evokes the ritual of film-watching." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Goonies (1985)      "my generation's Gunga Din: ugly, patronizing, loud, slapstick, predictably popular, with a cheap redemption theme tacked on at the end to sweeten the fetid stew. " [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Gosford Park (2001)      "Another full frontal assault on the Hollywood studio system." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Gossip (2000)      "Insufferable (and interminable) in-joke of a roundelay." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Gothika (2003)      "A hilarious coda of "logic is overrated" covers both the film and its existence." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Grace Lee Project (2005)      "or what it's worth, The Grace Lee Project is an easy trip at just over an hour and should prove a popular ticket on the festival circuit" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Graduate (1967)      "Rather a shame it's so often mistaken for a statement about something beyond the milk-fed adolescent blues." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Grain In Ear (2005)      "It's a visually and structurally arresting piece." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Grateful Dawg (2001)      "Grateful Dawg's sociological and documentary importance is limited, but its appeal to the dead-icated is plentiful and obvious." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Great American Songbook (2003)      "More travelogue than encyclopedia." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            The Greatest American Hero - Season 3 (1983)      "Its final season (three) was cancelled because with a couple of conspicuous exceptions, it sucks balls." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
