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." |

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." |

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." |

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 |

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." |

The Castle (1997) |
"A wonderful, fun film, complete with an unlikely hero willing to take on the world." |
Thom Bennett |

Daniel Eagan |

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 |
