Tomato A- |
Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Taken on its own repellently coarse and shocking B-movie terms, it's every bit as infectious in its way as the gross-out virus it depicts." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B+ |
Caché (2005) |
"Politicized as it is, the movie never becomes didactic, thanks to the excellent acting and the firm, confident direction." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
Calendar Girls (2003) |
"An innocent comic exercise, fueled more on charm than titillation." |

Tomato A- |
Capote (2005) |
"Hoffman goes beyond impersonation to something close to possession." |
Steve Murray |
Splat C |
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"Very little about Mandolin is not in some way disappointing." |
Bob Longino |
Tomato A- |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"What the Osbournes are to farce, the Friedmans are to tragicomedy." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato A- |
Carandiru (2004) |
"The movie has a tactile reality. You can almost smell it." |
Steve Murray |
Tomato |
Carrie (1976) |
"Young director Brian DePalma is fast making his reputation in the genre of the suspense-horror film." |
Barbara Thomas |
Splat C- |
Cars (2006) |
"At almost 2 hours, the movie, well, exhausts its welcome, somehow managing to be simultaneously frenetic and leaden." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
Casanova (2005) |
"This is easily the liveliest Hallstrom has been in almost a decade." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato A- |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"Die-hard fans may miss Q and Miss Moneypenny or the boys-and-their-toys gadgets or even the smirky tone. But in their stead is a riveting picture that, for all its globetrotting glamour and eyepopping action, demands we take this new Bond seriously." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |

Tomato B |
Cast Away (2000) |
"A tour de force, a courageous and surprisingly un-self-indulgent exercise in pared-down acting that makes Hanks, yet again, a likely Oscar contender." |

Castaway (1986) |

Tomato B |
The Cat's Meow (2002) |
"It's one heck of a character study -- not of Hearst or Davies but of the unique relationship between them." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C |
Catch a Fire (2006) |
"The movie is poorly made -- both too simple and too opaque." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"If this fact-based tale of a wunderkind swindler suffers from the director's gigantism, it's still lighter on its feet than anything he's made since Jurassic Park." |
Steve Murray |
Splat C- |
Catch That Kid (2004) |
"Parents can catch a nap while the kids catch a dubious lesson that crime can be cool." |
Melinda Ennis |
Tomato B+ |
Caterina in the Big City (2005) |
"On the surface, Caterina in the Big City is like Mean Girls, Italian-style. But it's much more layered than that." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
Cats & Dogs (2001) |
"Maybe not purrfect, but tail-waggingly fun." |
Steve Murray |
Splat D- |
Catwoman (2004) |
"It's not even campy enough for a good laugh." |

The Cave (2005) |

|
Tomato B- |
Cave of the Yellow Dog (2006) |
"The movie is very beautiful and also very slow, mostly due to the relatively primitive setting." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C+ |
The Caveman's Valentine (2001) |
"A work whose visual assurance is undercut by a script that's sometimes as ludicrous as it is ambitious." |
Steve Murray |

Cecil B. Demented (2000) |

Splat |
The Cell (2000) |
"The major problem is that The Cell continuously echoes The Silence of the Lambs, only minus the intricate character interplay, Jonathan Demme's direction and the taut storyline." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C |
Cellular (2004) |
"Interestingly, Phone Booth was an over-hyped bust, while this scrappy little B-movie zips along rather entertainingly. Maybe it's a matter of lowered expectations -- and keep them low, because Cellular is no buried treasure." |

Changing Lanes (2002) |
"A pretty darn good movie with two very darn good stars." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B+ |
Chaos (2003) |
"It's a real eye-opener." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"Neither the director nor the star can be accused of slacking off; Charlie is brimming with energy, cleverness and craft. But it remains more an abstract exercise than an all-engulfing experience." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato |
Charlie's Angels (2000) |
"The funniest pop-culture romp since Austin Powers first pranced down Carnaby Street." |
Steve Murray |
Splat |
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) |
"Has its moments, but never takes wing." |
Steve Murray |
Tomato B- |
Charlotte's Web (2006) |
"Some pig, in a so-so but lovingly made movie." |
Steve Murray |
Splat C |
Chasing Liberty (2004) |
"Though potentially drowse-inducing for grown-ups, this is a teen girl's dream romp through pretty postcard settings and pretty, passionate first love." |

Splat C+ |
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) |
"An uneven attempt to replicate the modest charms of an earlier Martin movie, Parenthood." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat D |
Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (2005) |
"All the characters get in fights but, SPOILER ALERT, everything ends with hugs, violins, good wishes and warm hearts." |
Bob Longino |
Tomato A- |
Chicago (2002) |
"When you leave the theater, you're all jazzed up and ready to go back for another dose of razzle-dazzle." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C- |
Chicken Little (2005) |
"Chicken Little has been Disneyfied with a vengeance." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
Chicken Run (2000) |
"I was ready to fly the coop long before the 82 minutes were up, but if you're in the mood for something offbeat and wacky, Chicken Run may be just your kind of amiably birdbrained entertainment." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
Children of Men (2006) |
"What makes Children work is that camera and the staging of all the physical insanity its lens captures." |
Bob Townsend |
Splat C |
Children on their Birthdays (2002) |
"The movie version is like a bedtime story -- pleasant but a little soporific." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat |
Chill Factor (1999) |
"A rehash of better action films." |
Bob Longino |
Splat C+ |
Chocolat (2000) |
"It wants to be as tasty as a homemade batch of fudge, but it plays more like a Hershey bar off the conveyor belt." |
Steve Murray |
Splat C+ |
Christmas with the Kranks (2004) |
"Given the tinsel-thin storyline, the typical seasonal gags only elicit perfunctory laughter." |
Bob Townsend |
Tomato B |
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005) |
"The film works on just about every level. Narnia has grandeur, imagination, mostly believable special effects, a war-of-the-world battle, heart and teary-eyed heartbreak." |
Bob Longino |
Splat F |
Chronicles of Riddick (2004) |
"A sci-fi disaster on a par with the notorious John Travolta bomb Battlefield Earth." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B+ |
Chrystal (2004) |
"An oddly beautiful film." |
Bob Longino |
