Cabin Fever (2003) |
"It's a mean-spirited, drunken stumble of a movie unspooling in an endless loop of panicky foolishness." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Caché (2005) |
"Haneke's patient, tip-toed assault turns Caché from a little movie about spooked haute-bourgeois media personalities into a sneaky and effective exposé on the artifice of film." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Cadillac Records (2008) |
"Martin could have made a much more compelling film by focusing on just a few characters instead of trying to deconstruct an entire record label." |
Joey Guerra |

Calendar Girls (2003) |
"Tries to be both funny and touching and and isn't enough of either." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
Callas Forever (2004) |
"The film's portrait of the singer is indelible. The story as a whole, however, doesn't hold together, primarily because the imaginary characters and situations that surround her are so inadequately sketched." |

El Cantante (2007) |
"The film's first half is an uneven string of scenes that offer little setup and sometimes confuse." |
Joey Guerra |
Tomato 3/4 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"Smart-alecky and simplistic? Yeah. And primo Moore." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capote (2005) |
"It's a fully realized look at a time and place as well as a riveting study of career obsessions warring with a sense of justice." |
Bruce Westbrook |

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"The movie is dramatically slack and uninvolving." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Caramel (2008) |
"Its chief focus is the bonding between women who rely on each for support, and who really appreciate a place where they can let down their hair." |

Carandiru (2004) |
"We come to like [the characters], to respect their yearning for redemption, which is why the ending is so powerful." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Casanova (2005) |
"Despite its oh-so deviant title character, Casanova is a harmless bon-bon, a breezy period farce that mimics lesser Shakespeare and a look that recalls Amadeus or Shakespeare in Love." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"What, no jet packs? No world-conquering supervillains orbiting the planet? No preference for shaken martinis?" |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"If Frida Kahlo can paint 55 self-portraits, Woody Allen can make several versions of the same movie. It's only fair." |

Cats & Dogs (2001) |
"There is some mild language and lots of animal slapstick -- à la Wile E. Coyote vs. Roadrunner -- that may be a little much for small children. But most kids will find the action fun and the animals hilarious." |

The Cave (2005) |
"Most everyone in the audience, except those rendered unconscious by boredom, will see the 'big twist' plot turn coming well in advance, although the qualifiers 'big' and 'twist' seem overblown and inexact." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cave of the Yellow Dog (2006) |
"This is no heart-tugging family drama; rather it's a contemplative, compassionate portrait of a hardy people. Offered as a borderline documentary, it proceeds in long, uncluttered takes." |
