Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"In "Capitalism: A Love Story," Michael Moore casts a fiery eye at the U.S. financial system - a rich and appalling subject at the moment - and comes, alas, to the usual loopy conclusion" |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capote (2005) |
"The picture is filled with unusually fine performances, but the one at its center (Philip Seymour Hoffman) is the most serenely astonishing performance of the year." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Captivity (2007) |
"The picture isn't scary, or even disgusting, really; it's oppressive -- dark and unpleasant in a depressingly unimaginative way." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3/4 |
Casanova (2005) |
"Even if Heath Ledger were the only thing worth seeing in this movie, the
movie would be well worth seeing. Happily, there are many other things
to recommend the picture.

Tomato 3/5 |
Casino Royale (2006) |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"[B]rilliant. It's a gleaming, candy-colored fantasy that teems with mad invention … There's no other film quite like this one." |

"Anton Yelchin gives a performance here that's way beyond his years." |

Che (2008) |
"The director has approached his subject as the complicated human being he was in life, not the overblown symbol he has become since his death." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3/5 |
Children of Men (2006) |
"The picture is a conceptual muddle. Fortunately, Cuarón is such a talented filmmaker that the movie is interesting on other levels." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
Choke (2008) |
"...a digital-video indie with a skuzzy, festering charm that almost papers over the chinks in its shambolic plot." |

Tomato |
A Christmas Tale (2008) |
"The picture is so alive with familial love and intrigue, with the richness of human complexity, that you want to reach out and hug it." |

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) |
"...old-school Disney, filled with cozily crafted sets, frankly theatrical lighting and golden-age moral values." |

City of Ember (2008) |
"[Bill] Murray is an actor who could wilt a building with his rheumy gaze, and his presence here is so insurmountably satirical that he throws the movie out of whack..." |

Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Cold Souls (2009) |
"Director Barthes, who also wrote the script, has an engagingly bent sensibility -- and as we see in a subplot involving a dark dream set in an orphanage, a lot of soul, too." |

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) |
"You don't have to see the movie to know what happens. But Fisher is such a nonstop comic delight that you might well want to see it anyway." |

Splat 2/4 |
Constantine (2005) |
"A little too muddled and erratically paced to command much interest. While some of the effects are cleverly worked-up, the picture seems more often to be on CGI autopilot." |

Coraline (2009) |

Cursed (2005) |
