Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Tries to be both genuinely scary and gruesomely funny...The mixture is sufficiently eccentric...to be worth a look--for those who can tolerate the abundant gore." |

Caché (2005) |
"Joins a line of distinguished thrillers...that are more than just thrillers, and proves their equal." |

Cadillac Records (2008) |
"There's enough material here for a television mini-series, and cramming it into less than two hours can't help but make it seem like a Cliffs Notes version." |

Calendar Girls (2003) |
"Moderately pleasurable, largely because of its large, exuberant ensemble cast and its understated British humor." |

Callas Forever (2004) |
"Though for opera buffs the result may well be fun, it's also camp with a high C....Douglas Sirk and Ross Hunter, eat your hearts out." |

Camp (2003) |
"While sweet and good-natured, it's also terribly slight and formulaic...as desperate to please the audience as its young performers are." |

Candy (2006) |
"Though studded with strong moments, ultimately has the feel of a harder, more unflinching version of a monitory after-school special." |

El Cantante (2007) |
"Mingles every cliche of the genre with a hyperkinetic style more likely to induce vertigo than sympathy or understanding." |

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"What [Moore] offers isn't an argument as much as a polemic. But as in the past, he proves a skilled polemicist,...[and] looked at dispassionately, it's fun." |
Frank Swietek |
Tomato A |
Capote (2005) |
"As is the case with Capote's book, the film's mixture of fact and artistry carries, in a strangely subdued, allusive way, enormous power." |

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"Voluptuous and visually entrancing...but a variety of flaws--
most notably Cage's tone-deaf performance--render it
earthbound when it should soar." |

Captivity (2007) |
"Even worse than the movie's being torture-porn junk is the fact that it's also incredibly boring...as predictable as it is ugly and tedious." |

Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"A profoundly disturbing film, but a brilliant one...It portrays the disintegration of an American family in a fashion that would have done Eugene O'Neill proud." |

Casa de los Babys (2003) |

Casanova (2005) |
"A good-looking picture that should especially satisfy upper-middlebrow adult audiences--a high-toned crowd-pleaser, if you will." |

Casino Royale (2006) |
"A solid action-adventure in the modern mold...expertly crafted in every respect. But it's also just a little anonymous amidst so many similar films." |

Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"Not a bad film, but it does seem to be rather an unecessary one...middle-grade late Allen, which means watchable but little more." |

simple competence." |

Catch a Fire (2006) |
"Moderately moving but not truly shattering, as you might expect of a film with this theme;...its impact is more intellectual than visceral." |

Catch and Release (2007) |
"Lachrymose and lugubrious, this drippy dramedy tries to mix laughter and tears but earns only an exasperated frown." |

Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"A glib but bouncy bit of sixties-style slickness in which the hero might wind up caught but the audience gets pure escapism." |
