Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato

Cabin Fever (2003)

"An uninspired but engaging romp through familiar horror film territory."

Doris Toumarkine

Tomato

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919)

"One of those rare, amazing technical accomplishments that also succeeds as art."

Frank Lovece

Splat

Cadillac Records (2008)

"This music biopic has some charismatic performances and numbers, but suffers from a glut of stories, too little time to tell them and resultant cursory treatment."

David Noh

Tomato
4/5

The Caine Mutiny (1954)

"First-rate adaptation of Herman Wouk 's novel"

Daniel Eagan

Tomato

The Cake Eaters (2009)

"Pleasant, low-key drama about two small-town families with secrets. Though familiar in many respects, Mary Stuart Masterson's feature directorial debut has a quiet charm."

Eric Monder

Splat

Calendar Girls (2003)

"Turns out to be one of those good ideas that do not easily make good movies."

Shirley Sealy

Tomato

California Dreamin' (2009)

"Another rewarding dark satire from Romania, the feature debut of a director who died tragically young."

Eric Monder

Splat

Callas Forever (2004)

"[Zeffirelli] had a real chance to delve into the creative process of a genius here, but has only managed to come up with the kind of bottom-feeding, lowbrow tabloid fodder that any opera-phobic hack might produce."

David Noh

Splat

Calle 54 (2001)

"Calls attention to deserving musicians, but in an oddly cautious style that would fit comfortably onto a PBS fund drive."

Daniel Eagan

Tomato

The Camden 28 (2007)

"Until a worthwhile dramatized version of the Camden 28 comes along, this dutiful documentary will suffice."

Eric Monder

Splat

Camp (2003)

"Too much empty angst and gaudy sentiment."

David Noh

Campfire (2004)

Tomato

Campfire (2004)

"Succeeds because Cedar skillfully develops his narrative, and he is ably helped by a strong cast led by Eshet and fine production"

Eric Monder

Tomato

Can't Hardly Wait (1998)

"A decidedly healthy antidote to the hate-driven, ghoulishly cynical bloodlettings of Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer and the rest of that sick ilk."

David Noh

Splat

Candy (2006)

"Without real characters or a fresh take on drug addiction, Candy has little to recommend it for anyone who's seen The Basketball Diaries or Requiem for a Dream."

Katey Rich

Splat

El Cantante (2007)

"The way this is told is so wafer-thin, so lacking in specifics, it will ultimately resonate only for salsa fanatics or members of the Latino community."

Lewis Beale

Splat

Canvas (2007)

"Small and slow-moving, and not in a way that means finely detailed and pensive."

Frank Lovece

Tomato

Cape Of Good Hope (2005)

"Mostly manages to feel authentic and uplifting, putting a human face on a complex colonial culture."

Maria Garcia

Splat

Capitaine Conan (1996)

"None of its parts add up to much narrative substance."

Renfreu Neff

Tomato

Capote (2005)

"A film to see and see again."

Doris Toumarkine

Splat

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)

"Lacking any center, in its pandering heart the movie tries to be something for everyone."

Erica Abeel

Splat

Captain Pantoja and the Special Services (1999)

"Sex comedy has a fun premise, but is surprisingly neither very sexy nor funny."

David Noh

Tomato

Capturing the Friedmans (2003)

"Audiences will be riveted."

Doris Toumarkine

Tomato

Caramel (2008)

"A Lebanese version of Steel Magnolias--a delightful valentine to women of a particular time and place."

Maria Garcia

Splat

Carandiru (2004)

"A film that plays like an uneasy combination of a down-and-dirty prison flick and the kind of soapy telenovela that keeps Brazilian audiences glued to their TV sets."

Lewis Beale

Tomato

Cargo 200 (2008)

"Incredibly perverse and weirdly fascinating look at the Soviet Union in the pre-Glasnost era."

Lewis Beale

-

Carla's Song (1998)

Click here to see the review.

Tomato

Carla's Song (1998)

"An extraordinary illustration of the power of the cinematic art form."

Maria Garcia

Tomato

Carmen and Geoffrey (2009)

"A scruffily informal yet wholly charming documentary portrait of an endlessly entrancing New York artistic couple."

David Noh

Tomato

Carnage (2003)

"Watching the movie is like attending a meeting of the Masons: It all seems silly unless you decipher the hermeneutics, numerology and theosophy."

Rex Roberts

-

The Carriers Are Waiting (1999)

Click here to see the review.

Tomato

The Carriers Are Waiting (1999)

"Arthouse aficionados should pay attention to this entry."

Doris Toumarkine

Tomato

Cars (2006)

"There's a lot of heart and soul--complemented by some of the most eye-popping visuals the computer-animation pioneer has ever devised."

Kevin Lally

Tomato

Cartoon Noir (1999)

"The international omnibus package offers several provocative moments for adult audiences."

Eric Monder

Splat

Casa de los Babys (2003)

"Casa de los Babys has too few compelling moments, however, and too little momentum to sustain viewer interest."

Shirley Sealy

Splat

Casanova (2005)

"One of those smart pictures that transcends genres, a costume romance inspired by Restoration comedy, French farce and vaudevillian slapstick."

Rex Roberts

Tomato

The Case of the Grinning Cat (2006)

"Marker brings a light, puckish touch."

Chris Barsanti

Splat

Cash (2007)

"The few things Cash has going for it...don't make up for its sophomoric antics, awkward shifts in tone, and ridiculous characters"

Frank Lovece

Tomato

Casino Royale (2006)

"One of the best, and most lavish, action films in years, Casino Royale sets a new standard for espionage adventures that will be hard to top."

Daniel Eagan

Splat

Cassandra's Dream (2008)

"Allen's writing here is so lacking in vigor and purpose that much of the film seems to be on nothing more than autopilot, a faded and tissue-paper-thin retread from a filmmaker who should know better."

Chris Barsanti

Tomato

Cast Away (2000)

"Thoroughly entertaining and skillfully rendered."

Doris Toumarkine

Splat

Casting About (2007)

"Those viewers who tend to regard glasses half empty rather than half full will be appalled at what could pass for outright exploitation by the filmmakers."

Doris Toumarkine

Tomato

The Castle (1997)

"A wonderful, fun film, complete with an unlikely hero willing to take on the world."

Thom Bennett

Tomato
3/5

Casualties of War (1989)

"Worthwhile drama set in the Vietnam War"

Daniel Eagan

Tomato

The Cat's Meow (2002)

"... in that fast-and-loose reiteration of facts are some fine performances."

Harry Haun

Tomato

Catch a Fire (2006)

"What biopics and issue-driven films could be if they had the guts to go beyond the easy answers."

Katey Rich

Splat

Catch and Release (2007)

"Why Jennifer Garner was eager to play the lead in this film is anybody's guess."

Shirley Sealy

Tomato

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

"A chance to see three splendid actors turn a larky chase movie into an emotionally satisfying exploration of the very human need to be somebody, and to belong to somebody."

Shirley Sealy

Tomato

Catch That Kid (2004)

"More absorbingly character-driven and less techno than most kiddie caper films."

David Noh

Tomato

Catching Out (2002)

"In letting her subjects speak for themselves, George does a good job of exploring the lure of the road, or in this case the rails."

Maria Garcia
