Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       1/4      G-Force (2009)      "Its prime directive is to inculcate young viewers with the gee-whiz tropes of producer Jerry Bruckheimer's teen-oriented fare." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       C      G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)      "Basically Team America: World Police played straight and minus the political edge." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       B+      Gabrielle (2005)      "An emotionally explosive adaptation of Joseph Conrad's short story." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1.5/4      Game 6 (2006)      "The film labors under the onerous weight of its symbolism." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       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." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Gamer (2009)      "Gamer is a laborious bit of sci-fi grimness that dully updates The Running Man for the 21st century." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Gandhi, My Father (2007)      "Gandhi, My Father weakly opts for lionization at precisely the moment it should go in for the killshot." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Garden State (2004)      "Boasts a sweet, moody rhythm." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness            Gardens of the Night (2008)      "The tendency to exploit lurid material for dramatic purposes is something [director Harris] can't avoid." [movie review]      Cinematical       B+      George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead (2008)      "[Succeeds] in large part thanks to Romero's expert, guerilla-style HD craftsmanship and his knack for repeatedly generating and sustaining tension." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness            George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005)      "About as lively as a piece of roadkill." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1/4      Georgia Rule (2007)      "So facile that it posits "I love you" as the quick-fix remedy for its characters' myriad, deeply rooted grievances." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       B+      Gerry (2003)      "Absolutely transfixing at one moment and unbearably boring the next." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       2/4      Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005)      "A reiteration of the now-clichéd hip-hop rise-to-fame legend that duplicates the crime-to-rhyme formula of Hustle & Flow." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       C      Get Smart (2008)      "A succession of tepid gags tethered by a flimsy narrative." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       B      Ghost in the Shell (1995)      "A fairly entrancing vision of a human race overrun by evolving artificial intelligence." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       C+      Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)      "One long, tedious rumination on the blurring distinction between man and machines." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1/4      Ghost Rider (2007)      "Marvel's Ghost Rider has always been a thoroughly transparent, inorganic creation." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Ghost Town (2008)      "Gervais's steady stream of cutting bon mots and regular bouts of indignant stammering keep Ghost Town more dry and sharp than broad and squishy." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Ghostbusters 2 (1989)      "Effectively slimed everyone's fond memories of the original." [movie review]      The Screengrab       2/4      Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009)      "The plot's eventual denigration of the single life and endorsement of soul mates and happily-ever-afters is predictably rote." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Gigantic (2008)      "A borderline insufferable trifle that dispenses quirkiness with its every gesture and breath." [movie review]      The Screengrab       C-      The Girl Next Door (2004)      "Essentially Risky Business for the 21st century, and I don’t mean that as a compliment." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       2.5/4      The Girlfriend Experience (2009)      "All the world's a financial transaction just waiting to be negotiated in The Girlfriend Experience, a handsome, frosty, rather one-note time capsule from October 2008." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Girls Rock! (2008)      "The directors sacrifice substantially investigating the four girls for Morgan Spurlock-ish populist gimmickry." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       --      Glengarry Glen Ross (1992)      Click here to see the review! [dvd review]      DVD Angle       1/4      Glory Road (2006)      "A disingenuous, disrespectful reduction of a difficult, often-painful plight into a rousing fairy tale." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       B+      Go Go Tales      "Go Go Tales' sleazy energy, sense of community, black humor and bittersweet nostalgia are infectious." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1/4      Goal! (2006)      "With any luck its sequels will fail to garner a stateside release due to that most dependable of domestic attitudes: American apathy toward soccer." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      God Grew Tired of Us (2007)      "It's a portrait of both suffering and success, and one that the directors refuse to gussy up in overly sentimental or derisive ways." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       B      God Told Me To (1977)      "Intriguing but exasperatingly uneven." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       C      Godsend (2004)      "This pudgy, obvious DeNiro is definitely not the one I grew up admiring." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1.5/4      The Golden Compass (2007)      "Chris Weitz crams his story full of magical terms and concepts with a rapidity that leaves things confusing and thus meaningless." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       A-      Gomorra (2008)      "A tough, cynical, blistering fictionalized study of the Camorra crime organization that controls much of Naples." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       C+      Good (2008)      "Decidedly blunt and unaffecting." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1/4      The Good German (2006)      "It's a political tale with no significant contemporary reverberations, a turgid espionage-tinged romance with no soul, and a play-it-again aesthetic showpiece without a point." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      Good Luck Chuck (2007)      "If I had a choice between suffering through a Dane Cook film or the outtakes from Carrot Top's Chairman of the Board, I'd go with the latter." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       B+      Good Men, Good Women (1995)      "A fractured tale of personal and national treachery." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1.5/4      The Good Night (2007)      ""Hanging out with you is pretty depressing," says self-proclaimed dream expert Mel to Gary, a similar reaction aroused by Jake Paltrow's excruciatingly tone-deaf writing-directing debut." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      Good Night. And, Good Luck (2005)      "The film's bedrock is Strathairn's performance, a masterpiece of calibrated dignity and self-doubt." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       C+      The Good Shepherd (2006)      "Seems thoroughly conflicted about whether it actually buys what it's selling." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       3/4      Goodbye Solo (2009)      "Solo confronts a less-than-jolly existence with a perpetual smile and helping hand, his upbeat, selfless attitude a means of repelling the harsh realities that threaten to break his spirit." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       A-      Goodbye South, Goodbye (1996)      "Hou brilliantly evokes the isolation of a generation hopelessly cut off from its past." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1.5/4      Goodbye, Momo (2006)      "Middling Cinema Paradiso magic realism turned lifeless by abundant treacle and a literal approach to his lightly surreal material." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       D      Gothika (2003)      "Succeeds in making every plot twist more unbelievable and irrational than the last." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       1.5/4      Goya's Ghosts (2007)      "A beautiful disaster of a period picture." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Grace is Gone (2007)      "It's the Paul Haggis version of National Lampoon's Vacation." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Gran Torino (2008)      "Its preoccupation with the burden and self-destructive ramifications of violence is given acute resonance by Eastwood's presence." [movie review]      Cinematical       B      The Grand (2008)      "For every scene that goes nowhere -- and there are more than a few -- there's some comedy gold lurking around the corner." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness       C      Grandma's Boy (2006)      "The film's [directorial] crudity is ultimately an unbearable drag on its joviality." [movie review]      Lessons of Darkness
