Splat 2/5 |
Carlito's Way (1993) |
"The film is a redundancy and only those who have played Brian De Palma's other movies so much they've memorized the dialogue are going to be interested. Al Pacino portrays a reformed gangster trying to break away from his earlier lifestyle. Needless to sa" |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Chamber (1996) |
"The story, about a young lawyer handling the last appeals of his grandfather, who is on death row, has enough little surprises and mysteries to stay interesting, and the stars milk it for all they’ve got." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Chicago Joe and the Showgirl (1990) |
"the film is too artistic for its own good while claiming to recreate events and characters faithfully. Once the premise is established, however, the narrative achieves the "true crime" tone it is reaching for and the film becomes much more satisfying, esp" |

Tomato 3/5 |
Children of the Damned (1964) |
"attempts to repeat the success of the first film" |
|
Splat 2/5 |
The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (1988) |
" the C.S. Lewis story was made without the assistance of computer animation, the live action staging has awkward-looking cartoon inserts and people in animal costumes, which look like rejects from Cats , to fill its fantasy. On top of all this, much of th" |

Ciao! Manhattan (1972) |

Splat 2/5 |
Clue (1985) |
"the endings are almost intended to be seen sequentially, and they are the funniest when viewed in that manner" |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Code of Silence (1985) |
"The program, however, is by no means the worst effort Norris has ever participated in and the ending, in which he single-handedly wipes out an entire brigade of bad guys, has a certain heroic charm to it." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Cold Turkey (1971) |
" at its best it is amusingly frantic and uses the cast in a number of effective characterizations" |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Comedy of Terrors (1964) |
"The film is grand slapstick, and the performances are funnier the more often you see it." |
|
Condorman (1981) |

Splat 2/5 |
Conquest (1983) |
" lots of naked women and oodles of gore" |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
" it is well made, well timed and funny as all get out. There is some very smart, creative filmmaking involved as well in the way the stories are told." |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Crime of Monsieur Lange (1935) |
"The film has some memorable characterizations and depicts adult situations with a much greater frankness than Hollywood was allowed at the time. Despite its clear moral exploration, however, the 78-minute running time is too brief for the film to become m" |

Splat 1/5 |
Crimes of Passion (1984) |
"The satire is too awfully confused about the differences between sex and love to be making profound or ironic statements about the nature of romance." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Critters (1986) |
"A variety of modest but well-executed special effects enlivens the otherwise run-of-the-mill effort about carnivorous aliens terrorizing a farm. The farm wins." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Cutthroat Island (1995) |
" The drama is shallow and superficial, but there is a coherent, forward-moving plot, enjoyable characters, numerous, elaborately staged action scenes and wall-to-wall sound. What's not to like? The film never slows down, leaping from one set of perils to" |
