Tomato

Caché (2005)

"...fascinating...spare...ambiguous..."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? (2006)

"... by-the-numbers and effective, if a bit overlong ..."

Andy Klein

Splat
2/5

Can't Buy Me Love (1987)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

Candy (1995)

"It's well done and, by the end, diverting; but there's little here that wasn't old decades ago."

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Candy Mountain (1987)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato
5/5

Cane Toads: An Unnatural History (1988)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato

Capote (2005)

"...[Hoffman's] performance is a prodigious accomplishment"

Andy Klein

Tomato

Captain Abu Raed (2008)

"Nadim Sawalha gives a terrific performance, subtle and complex, and most effective when the camera simply lingers on his face."

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Carried Away (1996)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato

Cars (2006)

"Pixar and director John Lasseter have a track record so amazing, they can make a fine feature that's likely to be the year's best animated film ... and still have it be a disappointment."

Andy Klein

Splat

Casanova (2005)

"I have long praised Hallstrom's ability to bring life to material that should have been dead on the screen, but here it's the opposite. He has never directed rapid-fire door-slamming, disguise-switching comedy before; and it turns out he can't."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Casino Royale (2006)

"The action scenes are great; Craig makes a very interesting hero; the plot is generally logical. But...the story reaches what feels like the end %u2026 then goes on for another 20 or 25 minutes in order to set up one more reversal."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Cassandra's Dream (2008)

"Like Match Point, [it] seems very sharp and focused; for better or worse, it lacks the tangents that both lightened up and diffused the tone in Scoop. That also means that there's not a moment of humor in it."

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato
4/5

Catch-22 (1970)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

Catwoman (2004)

"If you’re a drag queen and loved "Showgirls," your newest source of inspiration has arrived. Everyone else: Skip it!"

Luke Y. Thompson

Tomato
3/5

Caught (1996)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

The Cave (2005)

"The whole thing is pretty dumb, and not tongue-in-cheek enough to make the dumbness fun."

Andy Klein

Splat

The Celestine Prophecy (2006)

"Armand Mastroianni brings James Redfield's huge bestseller to the screen with all the care it deserves ... which is none."

Andy Klein

Splat

Celsius 41.11 (2004)

"If Knoblock expected his film to change minds, as Fahrenheit 9-11 seems to have done, he really should have added more humor"

Luke Y. Thompson

Tomato
4/5

The Chambermaid on the Titanic (1998)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Chan Is Missing (1981)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato

Changeling (2008)

"Both the best qualities and worst flaws in Changeling have been evident in Eastwood's work for some time now."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Changing Times (2006)

"Téchiné...is back in form with this engrossing tale of the inconvenient passions that bubble beneath the surface among people who have accepted bourgeois compromise."

Andy Klein

Splat

Chaos (2005)

"There doesn’t seem to be much point to the movie except to shock, and even that is in the seemingly phony guise of being socially responsible."

Luke Y. Thompson

Tomato
B+

Chaos Theory (2008)

"Despite its polemic simplicity, Daniel Taplitz's slight parable is charming"

Amy Nicholson

Tomato
3/5

Chaplin (1992)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

Chapter 27 (2008)

"[Leto's] mumbled voiceover may perfectly reflect Chapman's inner world. [But] who wants to enter that world? Neither Chapman ... nor his inner life is very interesting ... I was looking at my watch before the first third of the movie had passed."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

"...[Depp] just seems to be getting better and better."

Andy Klein

Splat

Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (2005)

"if you go to this movie and find any decent laugh in there whatsoever, you should know right now that I have nothing but utter contempt for you."

Luke Y. Thompson

Splat
2/5

Cheech & Chong's Up in Smoke (1978)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato

Chicago 10 (2008)

"The film covers the history of the central events as well as could be hoped in an hour and 40 minutes and conveys some of the feel of the time."

Andy Klein

Splat

Chicken Little (2005)

"The real disappointment here is the flatness of the humor."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Children of Men (2006)

"...a gripping tale..."

Andy Klein

Tomato
5/5

Chinatown (1974)

A Chinese Ghost Story (1987)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

Choking Man (2007)

"... wants to take us into Jorge's mind, though a less interesting and pleasant place would be hard to imagine."

Andy Klein

Tomato

A Christmas Tale (2008)

"Once the connections become clear, however, this often bitter story almost becomes a thriller, as we fear the next outburst or revelation and its aftermath."

Andy Klein

Splat

Christmas with the Kranks (2004)

"...the perfect way to usher in the Fourth Reich...The film’s one great saving grace is its almost utter lack of humor, which blunts its potential to propagandize effectively"

Andy Klein

Tomato

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005)

"Under the direction of Shrek's Andrew Adamson, the film is reasonably diverting..."

Andy Klein

Splat

Chronicles of Riddick (2004)

"Too many silly made-up words like “Underverse” and “Furyan” can really kill a serious atmosphere, and some of the CG stuff shows rough edges."

Luke Y. Thompson

Tomato

Cinderella Man (2005)

"... a by-the-book, retro Hollywood production – which brings with it both virtues and problems."

Andy Klein

Tomato
4/5

City Unplugged (1995)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

CJ7 (2008)

"[D]ownright disturbing."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Classe Tous Risques (1960)

" ...another eminently watchable example of the French noir trend of the period."

Andy Klein

Splat

Click (2006)

"... the broad humor expected in a Sandler production ... fart jokes, mild naughtiness ... clashes with the tone when things turn serious"

Andy Klein

Splat

Closing Escrow (2007)

"... more or less in the Christopher Guest vein, but with nowhere near as many laughs."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Cloverfield (2008)

"This conceptual hybrid %u2013 call it The Blair Godzilla Project %u2013 is competent, occasionally inventive, and provides adequate, if less than profound, thrills."

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Clue (1985)

No article available.
