Cadillac Records (2008) |
"This film is more like a limousine than a Cadillac – it is very long and carries far too many people." |
|
Splat 1/4 |
Captivity (2007) |
"With only hunky Daniel Gillies on hand to offer help and essential hair products, the question is can her career survive such a lame script? In a word, no." |
Johnny Vaughan |
Splat 2/5 |
Carriers (2009) |
"Carriers is grimmer than necessary." |

Casino Royale (2006) |

Casino Royale (2006) |
"Daniel Craig is the best Bond since Connery." |

Tomato 5/5 |
Changeling (2008) |
"You will never see a film which so well proves the adage that fact is stranger than fiction." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"Philip Seymour Hoffman provides a wonderful comic foil as the straight-talking CIA operative who helps Wilson in his covert dealings with the Afghan rebels." |
|
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Charlotte's Web (2006) |
"Hilarious and heart-warming, this is a real crowd-pleaser for all ages." |
Johnny Vaughan |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Chaser (2009) |
"In between moments of chisel-hacking horror there is some impressively dark humour and top-notch acting. But be warned – emotionally this movie will reach deep into the pit of your stomach and wriggle your guts about before wrenching them out." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Che, Part One (2008) |
"We get a jumbled mess where moments of glory are overrun by suicidal editing. The major territorial gains include Benicio Del Toro, who is magnificent as Che – a mixture of intellectual reserve and twinkling charm." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Che, Part Two (2008) |
"Benicio Del Toro is superb as the asthmatic, pipe-smoking Che, while the supporting cast capture the frustration of a disintegrating armed struggle." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Cheri (2009) |
"Only a fine performance from Pfeiffer and a couple of decent lines from Bates made it bearable." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
The Children (2008) |
"A novel idea that deserves a remake with better effects, better writing and better acting." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Chocolate (2009) |
"Unfortunately, the martial arts action is only half the movie – the rest is badly acted and gory." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Choke (2008) |
"All this madness provides amusing moments, but the full-throttle absurdities become too difficult to swallow." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Choking Man (2007) |
"After more than an hour in Jorge’s relentlessly miserable company the voice in The Sneak’s head was saying “leave now”." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
A Christmas Tale (2008) |
"Typically Gallic, it contains lots of smoking, drinking and thinking. With the thoughts often turning towards death." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
The Chumscrubber (2005) |
"Sadly, despite Bell’s eye-catching performance and Glenn Close’s disturbing Stepford Wife portrayal, I found this messy movie as self-absorbed as most of its characters." |
Johnny Vaughan |
Splat 2/5 |
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009) |
"Neither babyfaced Massoglia or craggy Reilly make convincing vampires. And Cirque Du Freak author Darren Shan must be a supreme egotist to name the hero after himself." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
City of Ember (2008) |
"But it is woefully short of two vital ones – action and adventure. Only near the end do the thrills get stoked up as our heroes go on a hair-raising boat ride." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Class (2008) |
"It is not often a director creates exactly what they set out to achieve, but when Laurent Cantet decided to use a school as a “microcosm of the world” it turned out perfectly." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Closing the Ring (2007) |
"Newcomers Gregory Smith, Stephen Amell and David Alpay, as three young US Air Force men, act like daytime soap stars." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Cloud 9 (2009) |
"Director Andreas Dresen is so busy breaking taboos that he almost forgets to include a story." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (2009) |
"Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs serves up a riot of colour, absurdity and fun." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
Clubbed (2009) |
"It left The Sneak wishing the cinema doorman had said his name wasn’t on the list and he wasn’t coming in to see Clubbed." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Coco Before Chanel (2009) |
"Coco Before Chanel isn't stylishly simple - it's just plain." |
|

Colin (2009) |
"You get what you pay for and what you get for £45 is next to nowt." |
|
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Color of Freedom (2007) |
"Dull." |

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009) |
"If you are strapped for cash, wait until this one turns up in the DVD bargain bin." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Coraline (2009) |
"Coraline may end up as a cult classic watched by students rather than their little sisters." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Couples Retreat (2009) |
"Sadly for us though, Favreau and Vaughn are likely to continue their profitable relationship for some time to come." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Cove (2009) |
"Part-espionage thriller, part-documentary." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Crank High Voltage (2009) |
"This fest of violence, breasts, sex, swearing and dodgy plot turns can only be enjoyed if you don’t take it seriously." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Creation (2009) |
"A bit more of Bettany sparkling as Darwin recounts his incredible journeys would have lifted Creation." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Crossing Over (2009) |
"You can be too right-on. And that's the problem with this smug Hollywood multi-strand drama about immigration that sweats self-righteousness from every pore." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) |
"Whether you are young, old or somewhere in the middle, make sure you find time for this Saga saga." |
