Tomato
A+

Cafe Lumiere (2004)

"You don't take this journey for the bends in the road, but the fleeting sights along the way make it memorably rewarding."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A-

Capote (2005)

"Hoffman deserves the Academy Award. ... But screenwriter Dan Futterman should also receive recognition for penning a provocative work."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Capturing the Friedmans (2003)

"Much of this information could have been delivered in a way that respected the Friedmans, even if they did not respect each other."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Cast Away (2000)

"While his philosophical ventures seem stuck in the shallow end of the pool, Zemeckis takes an important step forward as a filmmaker."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

"The movie is -- intentionally or otherwise -- a remarkable parable about denying reality until reality catches up to you."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
D

The Cell (2000)

"It's not the villain but the director who seems most interested in these grisly spectacles. He was certainly uninterested in his characters."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Changing Lanes (2002)

"Michell is willing to explore a drama that has no heroes, just broken men trying to find some hope in the darkness, some meaning in the madness."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A+

Chariots of Fire (1981)

"Most sport movies make winning the goal. Here, running is a metaphor for life, and the way these men run tells us volumes about their hearts."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

"The material plays to [Burton's] strengths ... he's more interesting as a stylist than a storyteller."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Chasing Amy (1997)

"... an important movie about young people lost in the Gen-X labyrinth who are giving it a try [and] risking their hearts to find some kind of answer."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
C

Chicago (2002)

"Chicago does not explore an issue. It just shows us the problem. It's a pretty song about dry rot. It's a can-can about cancer."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Chicken Run (2000)

"It's a wonder to know that each frame of this film was handmade, not orchestrated by a computer."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Chocolat (2000)

"Most movies that criticize religion argue for the abolition of institutions. Chocolat suggests the problem lies in how people manipulate religion to get what they want."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Chronicles of Riddick (2004)

Alan Thomas

Splat
C+

Chunhyang (2000)

"Chunhyang is a gorgeous, elaborate film that feels like a fairy tale with a fresh coat of paint. Unfortunately, the paint is the most interesting part."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Cinderella Man (2005)

"Scene by scene, [Mae] reminds us that Jim is handsome, strong, ... and always right. The film celebrates masculine resolve that blocks out feminine counsel and concern."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A-

The Circle (2001)

"... like a cry of distress from a princess imprisoned in a tower. But the tower is in a busy world of heartless, self-absorbed men who laugh at the idea of a rescue."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B-

City by the Sea (2002)

"Caton-Jones ... understands that this story is not about how all the details work out, but about one man's heart and his slow awakening to moral responsibility."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato

City of Angels (1998)

"City of Angels raises theological questions, albeit in a somewhat pedestrian manner, and makes them an integral part of its otherwise formulaic plot."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A-

City of God (2003)

"City of God is not the easiest film to watch, but it is a masterpiece all the same, maybe the best crime drama since the Godfather films."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Claire's Knee (1971)

"The question at the center of this almost Shakespearean comedy is this: Why is it better to listen to our conscience in matters of love, rather than listen to our wayward, faithless heart?"

Jeffrey Overstreet

-

Code Unknown (2001)

Stef Loy

Tomato
3/4

Coffee and Cigarettes (2004)

"This is a film for people who want something more than predictable entertainment. It's for people who love to watch people. "

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Cold Mountain (2003)

"The scenes feel like dominoes -- they once stood in a progression with room to breathe between, but now they're down, overlapping each other, their potential energy stolen."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Contact (1997)

"By hating the two-dimensional villain ... the audience feels they have found 'the bad guy' and aren't challenged to consider the flimsiness in Arroway's or Josse's perspectives."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
C+

The Contender (2000)

"When Republicans speak, it's a bitter voice we hear; when Democrats speak, the music swells proudly. There's not must to think about here. It's a personality contest."

Jeffrey Overstreet

-

Cool and Crazy (2001)

The Corporation (2004)

J. Robert Parks

Tomato
B+

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)

"It's encouraging to see an action-adventure challenge its audience to think for a while."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999)

"Lo and behold. An action movie that isn't about 'seize the day' or 'follow your heart' opportunism."

Jeffrey Overstreet
