Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh	Rotten 37%	Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009)	" It has promise, but I certainly don't care if they never complete the series as movies." — Can Magazine Posted Oct 23, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 75%	Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)	" Usually Michael Moore's movies make me appreciate how few real problems I actually have. I can't complain about my lifestyle when people's can't feed their kids or pay their hospital bills. This time, I feel like I'm right there with them." — Can Magazine Posted Sep 29, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 23%	Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)	" Why wouldn't you want to see Isla Fisher stumble on a tray of fish? Why wouldn't you want to see Isla Fisher bumble through a fan dance? Why wouldn't you want to see Isla Fisher fumble through Finnish?" — Can Magazine Posted Feb 13, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 89%	Coraline (2009)	" Just the kind of kids' movie I like... It'll scare the crap out of them as well it should. Something's gotta toughen them up." — Can Magazine Posted Feb 6, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 68%	Cadillac Records (2008)	" The actors do a wonderful job capturing the unique qualities of the artists they portray. Then they get coked up and sleep with minors." — Can Magazine Posted Dec 12, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 76%	Catch a Fire (2006)	Click here to read article — Hollywood.com Posted Nov 20, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 26%	Copying Beethoven (2006)	Click here to read article — Hollywood.com Posted Nov 20, 2008
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 65%	Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)	Click here to read article — Hollywood.com Posted Nov 20, 2008
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 83%	Come Early Morning (2006)	Click here to read article — Hollywood.com Posted Nov 20, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 54%	Choke (2008)	" Any movie that opens with the story of the woman, her dog and a jar of peanut butter is okay by me." — Can Magazine Posted Sep 26, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 31%	Chaos Theory (2008)	" Even when he goes 'dark,' it's a pretty harmless rebellion and the film never lets him pass a point of no return." — Can Magazine Posted Apr 11, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 13%	College Road Trip (2008)	" National Lampoon's Vacation Light. They have some funny disasters on the road, nothing like dead relatives or incest, but it's light and fun." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 49%	CJ7 (2008)	" He's a cute little furball, but no Mogwai." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 7, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 54%	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	" Charlie could be a Ferris Bueller type but he's too confrontational. Ferris never got anyone else in trouble.Rooney did it to himself, but Ferris wouldn't hurt anyone. Maybe it's more like a Pump Up the Volume for the medicated generation." — Can Magazine Posted Feb 22, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 81%	Charlie Wilson's War (2007)	" Charlie Wilson's War is interesting, but I want to see Charlie Murphy's War. Send Eddie's brother to Afghanistan to entertain them all with his true Hollywood stories." — Can Magazine Posted Dec 21, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 24%	El Cantante (2007)	" Guess what. American musicians aren't the only ones who p* their talents away on drugs. Latin salsa icons are just as self-destructive as gringos.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Aug 4, 2007
Fresh 4/4	Rotten 48%	Cashback (2007)	Click here to read article — Hollywood.com Posted Jul 27, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 16%	The Condemned (2007)	" *The manly man's movie of the year is here. The Condemned* makes Con Air look like Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Apr 29, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 22%	Catch and Release (2007)	" If anyone could make death a delight, it's Jennifer Garner." — Can Magazine Posted Jan 26, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 4%	Code Name: The Cleaner (2007)	" Cedric's style of humor seems to be stating the obvious, but doing it really fast. He mumbles out loud and makes lame observations." — Can Magazine Posted Jan 6, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Children of Men (2006)	" This is real movie magic... We know they can create anything in CGI, make anything happen with tricky editing and the like. To actually take that out of an equation may not be obvious to everyone, but it registers." — Can Magazine Posted Dec 27, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 94%	Casino Royale (2006)	" Daniel Craig hardly needs me fawning all over him. I'll just add to the litany of praises that I think he's a much better runner than Tom Cruise." — Can Magazine Posted Nov 16, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 2%	Crossover (2006)	" *The Annapolis* of basketball movies... The movie bounces from scene to scene like some sort of round rubbery sphere.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Sep 1, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 60%	Crank (2006)	" *It knows what it's doing and it's awesome... Crank* relishes in its outrageous stunts... Jason Statham is a one man Die Hard.** " — Can Magazine Posted Sep 1, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 62%	Clerks II (2006)	" *Kevin Smith has done it again. Clerks II* is his Temple of Doom... The emotional parts of Clerks II are like the satanic parts of Temple of Doom. I mean that in the most positive way.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Jul 20, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 32%	Click (2006)	" *A fantasy comedy in the tradition of Back to the Future* or Groundhog Day... Click delivers profoundly emotional family moments amidst the hysterically clever fantasy gags.*" — About.com* Posted Jun 23, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 75%	Cars (2006)	" Cars is definitely not the worst Pixar movie. That was A Bug's Life. Doesn't anybody remember how surface and banal that was?" — Can Magazine Posted Jun 10, 2006
N/A	Rotten 29%	Casino Royale (1967)	" Casino Royale is a boring book. He gambles, loses, gets more money, gambles again, wins and gets tortured. Not much of a story arc, and where exactly will the action happen?" — About.com Posted Feb 25, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 69%	Curious George (2006)	" *When the opening of the Curious George* movie tugged those same heartstrings in my old, cynical soul... I knew this was going to work.*" — About.com* Posted Feb 9, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 43%	Casanova (2005)	" By the time they make double entendres about a rich man being "well endowed" (get it?), the film is trying way too hard, like the kid at the dinner table who just learned dirty words and wants the adults to laugh." — About.com Posted Dec 24, 2005
Rotten	Fresh 75%	The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)	" This is one of the most boring stories ever told in any format... If this is the truncated movie version, how redundant was the book?" — About.com Posted Dec 8, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 36%	Chicken Little (2005)	" A quick, fast paced pop culture fest like the best animated movies." — About.com Posted Nov 4, 2005
Rotten	Rotten 0%	The Crow - Wicked Prayer (2005)	" *Well, it�s better than Crow 3. The only thing holding it together is Edward Furlong, who�s deep, passionate performance is worthy of a better package." — About.com* Posted Jul 22, 2005
Fresh 3/5	Rotten 5%	Christmas with the Kranks (2004)	" It is a perfectly fine, inoffensive family comedy." — MovieWeb Posted May 16, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 17%	Cursed (2005)	" With all the lackluster horror movies being released every weekend, you�ve got to appreciate what pros Craven and Williamson are at the genre." — About.com Posted Feb 25, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 45%	Constantine (2005)	" Man�s interpretation of God is so often ground for war or denial of personal responsibility, it�s nice to see it used for good entertainment as well." — About.com Posted Feb 17, 2005
Fresh	Fresh 86%	Collateral (2004)	" The dynamic between cabbie and killer is at the heart of this one, and though there are some great foot chases and gunfights, it�s the little details that make it work." — About.com Posted Aug 5, 2004
Fresh	Rotten 10%	Catwoman (2004)	" They had me at the random basketball scene." — About.com Posted Jul 22, 2004
Fresh	Rotten 30%	Chronicles of Riddick (2004)	" *A Star Wars* for grown-ups, with the complexities of Lord of the Rings and the serial adventure quality of Indiana Jones.*" — About.com* Posted Jun 10, 2004
Rotten	Fresh 71%	Cold Mountain (2003)	" The problem with these epic movies is that the situations are far more interesting than the characters.Every character comes right out of the 'Epics for Dummies' handbook." — About.com Posted Dec 27, 2003
N/A	Fresh 63%	Cabin Fever (2003)	" *Cerina Vincent talks about the physical requirements of Cabin Fever, including phsyically revealing herself and shaving more than just her legs." — About.com* Posted Sep 10, 2003
N/A	Fresh 63%	Cabin Fever (2003)	" *Eli Roth spends five pages talking about political incorrectness in Cabin Fever. He rants about horror movies from Freddy vs. Jason* to Re-Animator and reveals Cabin Fever sequel plans.*" — About.com* Posted Sep 9, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 63%	Cabin Fever (2003)	" There is some good nudity, which used to be a staple of horror movies. And bravo to the film for turning that voyeurism right back on us and showing one of the most cringe-worthy gore pieces during a gratuitous bathtub scene." — About.com Posted Sep 9, 2003
N/A	Rotten 54%	Cellular (2004)	" *Some quick details from director David Ellis. He says it will be like Speed." — About.com* Posted Aug 13, 2003
Fresh	Rotten 42%	Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)	" McG is a McGenius." — About.com Posted Jul 14, 2003
