Calendar Girls (2003) |
"Calendar Girls' last two acts, 'What Chris and Annie Learned in Hollywood,' are nothing more than rote recitation of the perils of fame." |

Cast Away (2000) |
"Hanks and Zemeckis begin with an intriguing premise...and, by the film's end, smother that premise under a tidal wave of sentimentality and schmaltz." |

The Cat's Meow (2002) |
"...a sour little movie at its core; an exploration of the emptiness that underlay the relentless gaiety of the 1920's ...The film's ending has a "What was it all for?" feeling to it, but like the 1920's, the trip there is a great deal of fun." |

Chicago (2002) |
"Dazzling and sugar-sweet, a blast of shallow magnificence that only sex, scandal, and a chorus line of dangerous damsels can deliver." |

Tomato A- |
Chicken Run (2000) |
"Excellent visuals, a tenderly told tale, laughs aplenty, and a positive social message to boot." |

The Clearing (2004) |
"A thriller nearly devoid of thrills...Despite having great actors and a beautiful visual sensibility, The Clearing offers no foundation to wrap them around." |

Tomato A- |
Closer (2004) |
"I never thought I'd live to see the day when I would say this, but Julia Roberts is actually showing signs of becoming an interesting actress." |

Tomato B |
Code 46 (2004) |
"On one level it's a science fiction story about cloning...but on another level, it's a complex discussion of authoritarianism in a global economy." |
Gabriel Shanks |
Tomato B- |
Coffee and Cigarettes (2004) |
"The short films in this collection are dreamily affecting curiosities, stilted and just enough off-kilter to keep the viewer attentive." |
Gabriel Shanks |
Tomato A- |
Cold Mountain (2003) |
"First and foremost, about the ravages of wartime...but framed to an intimate scale, tracing the devastating consequences such violence takes upon individuals." |

Cold Mountain (2003) |
"It is handsomely crafted, to be sure, but boasts little authenticity and zero credibility." |

Tomato B |
Collateral (2004) |
"From its classy, crisp opening moments, Collateral bombards the viewer with bold imagery and sounds...we are in Mann country." |

The Company (2003) |

Connie and Carla (2004) |
"So cliché-ridden and obvious that any sparks the performers may have are quickly smothered in dullness." |

Connie and Carla (2004) |
"What Connie and Carla has to teach us about gay people." |
Martin Scribbs |
Tomato B- |
Control Room (2004) |
"Reveals the humanity of the opponents on both sides...and government's attempt to deny that humanity at all costs." |

The Cooler (2003) |

Cowboys & Angels (2005) |
"Without anything unique to add to the dramatic landscape, Gleeson's film is a fleeting glimpse at a world we already know...it is a film in search of a reason to exist." |

Crash (2005) |
"CRASH is about the racism we all carry within us, a fact of which Haggis feels he must remind us in almost every scene, lest we forget without his wise counsel.

Criminal (2004) |

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (1999) |
"Our new century isn't very old yet, but the remaining 98 years will be hard pressed to find a more rapturous movie than Ang Lee's sumptuous new triumph." |
