Tomato

Cadaver (2009)

"A clever and briskly made ghost story."

Brian Tallerico

Tomato
3.5/5

Caramel (2008)

"Despite a soft pacing and deliberate narrative, writer and director Nadine Labaki uses women's lives as a backdrop in celebration of the melting pot of Beirut."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
3.5/5

Cassandra's Dream (2008)

"Woody Allen's style here is expressly Hitchcockian. The tensions mounted and the ability of the narrative to focus on particular elements that end up meaning nothing put this film in league with the master of suspense."

Adam Fendelman

Splat
2/5

Chapter 27 (2008)

"Despite the subject, the script is flat. Despite using the real locations, the production looked cheesy. Finally, the decision to strip Mark David Chapman (John Lennon's killer) of any humanity makes the narrative decidedly one note."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato

The Chaser (2008)

"It runs long at over two hours but it is expertly directed, shot, edited, and acted."

Brian Tallerico

Splat
2/5

The Children of Huang Shi (2008)

"There's a feeling of skimming the surface of a true story that would be better served by being grittier or more challenging. As well, the narrative deserves more than an obvious and improbable love story between two good-looking movie stars."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4.5/5

Choke (2008)

"Standing and pacing during our interview, Sam Rockwell made a hilarious theatrical moment out of his frustration while lighting a cigarette. He talked about his latest characterization, which is a challenging performance channeling an Oedipal personality."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4.5/5

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008)

"The decision to go 'PG' issued a renewed faith that Hollywood can spit out a money-generating product without having to spew gallons of blood and blow stuff up. But that didn't come without great scrutiny and much editing."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4/5

City of God (2003)

Tomato
4/5

City of Men (2008)

"The plight of the people in the hard-hitting Brazilian film City of Men is akin with its plight to make you aware it even exists."

Adam Fendelman

Splat
2.5/5.0

CJ7 (2008)

"While the characters bring energy and enthusiasm with potty humor and exaggerated jesting, the plot crosses into the cliché and an alien Lassie comes forth that leaves us with a Hollywood ending."

Adam Fendelman

Splat
2/5

The Condemned (2007)

"This is why wrestlers wrestle and actors act."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4.5/5

Constantine's Sword (2008)

"Former priest and author James Carroll is simply pointing out that the use of cover up and propaganda -- whether it's aimed at another religion or another country -- is still represented at the point of a sword. That sword is shaped like a cross."

Adam Fendelman

Splat
2.5/5

CSNY Déjà Vu (2008)

"The problem isn't what it's communicating. It's the awkward structure and tendency toward redundancy. The film's a hodgepodge of songs, old footage and stories of the Iraq War that just doesn't come together with any sense of narrative cohesiveness."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4/5

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

"It turns out that skipping a 'blowout' garage sale she was planning paid off for up-and-coming actress Taraji P. Henson after all, she told HollywoodChicago.com in a Chicago interview after netting her Benjamin Button role."

Adam Fendelman
