Captivity (2007)

"It's just the same old same old repackaged as the new worst offender."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B

Cassandra's Dream (2008)

"Cassandra's Dream is not a top-notch Woody Allen film, but this dark drama is a worthy addition to the director's career-long search for meaning in a world where randomness and cruelty often reign."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
D

Catch and Release (2007)

"Catch and Release draws its title from the fishing philosophy of Gray's fiancé and buddies. The humane thing to do is throw this film back too."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
D

The Cave (2005)

"It’s all noise and motion that blurs the action to the point of incomprehensibility."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B-

Cellular (2004)

"Cellular utilizes remarkable efficiency and ingenious construction to realize an exciting and funny story that seems plausible enough under the circumstances."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

"Attempts to provide Wonka’s backstory can slow down the film’s momentum, but overall Burton puts an enjoyable twist on a beloved story while justifying the remake's existence."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
D

Charlie Bartlett (2007)

"While Charlie Bartlett's spitting in the face of authority may thrill disenchanted teens, its obnoxiousness and phoniness is enough to make me feel like an old man yelling at kids to get off my lawn."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
A

Charlotte's Web (2006)

"Charlotte's Web is a beautiful tale of friendship that spoons out the virtues of kindness and generosity without a medicinal taste."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
C

Chicken Little (2005)

"The wishy-washy self-empowerment tale hinges on the lack of communication between Chicken Little and his single father Buck Cluck, something best reserved for an episode of Oprah... "

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B+

Children of Men (2006)

"Invigorating in its ideas and style, Children of Men conceives a dystopian future, but its questions are just as relevant to our modern lives."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
F

Christmas with the Kranks (2004)

"What better way is there to get into a festive spirit than having it crammed down your throat?"

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B

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

"Director Andrew Adamson's adaptation, the first in what is sure to be a series of films, brings it alive with a childlike sense of awe and wonder."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B

Closer (2004)

"The dialogue is often lacerating, as lovers wield words like lashes, striking out to get what they desire."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
C-

College Road Trip (2008)

"College Road Trip plays like an instructional video shown at orientation to ease sheltering parents afraid to let their children leave the nest."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
C-

Confetti (2006)

"Confetti is the latest mockumentary to encounter the problem of reality, or reality TV, being more outrageous than the filmmaker's send-up."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B+

The Constant Gardener (2005)

"A brisk, galvanizing journey through the political thicket in Africa, (it) positions Meirelles as a leading director of electrically charged dramas with social consciences. "

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
C

Crank (2006)

"Crank works overtime to be a disreputable bit of pulp fiction, and for the first half or so it's like inhaling the cinematic equivalent of the film's title."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
A

Crash (2005)

"While strides have been made in this country’s race relations, Crash brings to the forefront the prejudices and stereotypes that often remain unspoken."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B-

Curious George (2006)

"Curious George is a sweet and gentle film that views the world as a wonderful place to be explored."

Mark Pfeiffer
