Tomato 3/5 |
Calendar Girls (2003) |
"Mirren's performance has enough sparkle (and nudity) for Calendar Girls to be a fun, if light, moviegoing experience." |

Capote (2005) |
"There's an interesting story here, but it's far more likely captured in Capote's book than in this inconsistent film." |

Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"Sayles demonstrates a remarkable ability to fully flesh out characters who are on-screen for only a short time." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Casanova (2005) |
"What's meant to evoke Shakespeare in Love ends up more often evoking Saved by the Bell." |

The Casino Job |
"Manages to make even watching naked strippers in a hot tub a laborious experience." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Catch a Fire (2006) |

Chaos (2005) |
"Critics have called the film offensive and morally repugnant, but that's overstating things. It's far too inept to achieve anything that complex." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"Chocolate Factory is almost always funny and entertaining. It's just a shame that such talent has gone into a product that's so redundant." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"It actually cares about entertaining its audience, about giving them something to laugh at and have fun with before hitting them over the head with how bad things are." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 4/5 |
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) |
"That Full Throttle is an exuberant, eye-catching and infectious film despite a script that probably only exists in theory proves that director McG is a damn McGenius." |

Charly (2002) |

Chicken Little (2005) |
"It is this playful approach to the characters, however, that lends the film whatever limited appeal it has." |
Benjamin Spacek |
Tomato 3/5 |
Choke (2008) |
"Underneath all that seediness is a story that turns out to be rather heartwarming and sweet." |
Josh Bell |

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) |
"Expands and contracts the story in just the right places to transform it into successful summer-blockbuster fodder." |

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005) |
"Whenever it allows the whimsy of its source material to shine through, it takes on a pleasant life of its own." |

Chronicles of Riddick (2004) |

Church Ball (2006) |
"In what is clearly an evolving trend in Mormon cinema, Hale underplays the religious aspects in favor of stronger narrative." |

Cinderella Man (2005) |

City of God (2003) |
"For all their straddling of the line between realism and exploitation, entertainment and education, it's entirely possible that Meirelles and Lund render that line invisible." |

Clerks II (2006) |

Cloverfield (2008) |
"At times Cloverfield seems less like a movie than a theme-park motion simulator, but that's not a complaint." |
Josh Bell |

Cocaine Cowboys (2006) |
"There's so much compelling material here, all of it salacious and dangerous and so enjoyable that you might just feel a little guilty afterward." |
Josh Bell |

Cocaine Cowboys 2: Hustlin' With The Godmother (2008) |
"While Cocaine Cowboys was a vivid portrait of a specific time and place, this sequel is just a hagiography for an undeserving thug." |

Cold Mountain (2003) |
"Minghella tries too hard here, carefully placing every element but stupidly forgetting to include any feeling." |
Josh Bell |

Cold Souls (2009) |
"Barthes gets bogged down in existentialism in the movie's final third, but until then she engages in some fun absurdist humor, anchored by a strong performance from Giamatti." |

The Constant Gardener (2005) |
"While Gardener really wants to come off as daring and politically aware, at its heart it's a mystery and love story, and it succeeds on both of those counts." |
