Splat

Candy (2006)

"Doesn't deviate much from the downward-spiral norm, but benefits hugely from an atypically loose performance by Heath Ledger."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Casanova (2005)

"In its sheer desire to entertain, the film takes whimsy to levels normally outlawed by the Geneva Convention. "

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Casino Royale (2006)

"Good. Really, really good. Maybe, in fact, the best entry since On Her Majesty's Secret Service. No offense to St. Connery is intended, but, man, Craig has it down cold."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Cave (2005)

"Has atmosphere to burn (and one lulu of a set-piece involving a rock-climbing Piper Perabo) but [the] mixmaster editing style drains away much of the film's urgency."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Charlie Bartlett (2007)

"In this era of the slick, soundtrack-propelled high-school movie, it's refreshing to see one that tries to chew too much."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Charlie Wilson's War (2007)

"An extremely entertaining conversation starter of a movie, of the sort earmarked for a better-than-average night out with the folks. Depending, of course, on their tolerance for scenes involving talky naked strippers in hot tubs."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Chumscrubber (2005)

"Fiercely quirky ... feels less like a fully realized movie, and more like a delivery system for an eventual domination of the T-shirt aisle at Hot Topic."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Cinderella Man (2005)

"So determined to make the audience stand up and cheer that it forgets how to generate anything lasting, other than sheer old-timey nostalgia."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Clerks II (2006)

"Smith's hyperliterate lead-assed wiseacres deserve their place in indie-movie history, no doubt, but when even the fart jokes fail to pop, it may be time to draw the curtain."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Closer (2004)

"The unrelenting seediness and, most crucially, the lack of a character which the audience is willing to side with takes a toll."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Coach Carter (2005)

"Treats its subject in such a neutered, worshipful fashion that it ultimately does the actual accomplishment a disservice."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Color of Freedom (2007)

"Another well-meaning, dopily prosaic movie of the sort that often gets a mercy nomination thrown its way ... Does a severe disservice to a truly great history."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Conformist (1970)

"One of the all-time greats, with a flabbergastingly deep mastery of time and space."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Constant Gardener (2005)

"The odd-couple melding isn't without a crack or two ... Still, at the film's (considerable) best, the contrasting styles of the novelist and the director dovetail beautifully."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Crank (2006)

"Cheerfully moronic ... While most action flicks these days require their audience to turn their brains off, this movie somehow actually does it for you."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Crash (2005)

"[The actors] can't quite make Haggis' preachy puppet show feel entirely organic, but they certainly take some of the glare off of the strings."

Andrew Wright

Splat

CSNY Déjà Vu (2008)

"Give Young credit for getting beyond the standard tour-bus and backstage environments, but the broad scope ultimately gives short shrift to both the veterans and the legendary discord among the bandmates."

Andrew Wright
