Cadillac Records (2008)

"As drama, Cadillac is adequate. As a jukebox musical, it soars."

Callas Forever (2004)

Camp (2003)

"Instead of a homogenized, mass-produced polish, boasts funky, handmade brio that may sometimes be cliched but is always heartfelt."

El Cantante (2007)

"Directed with palpable passion and terrific period feel by Ichaso, El Cantante has camerawork and editing that move with the 4/4 rhythm of salsa, upbeat even when the drama grows downbeat."

Capote (2005)

"Engages both the practical and the moral implications of Capote's achievement."

Capturing the Friedmans (2003)

"Everything is evidence in this astounding movie that frustrates the moviegoer's natural instinct to identify with the hero."

Carandiru (2004)

"Searing and hypnotic."

Cartel (2009)

"The Cartel does what good reporters are supposed to do: follow the money."

Casanova (2005)

"One would expect Casanova, a movie about the storied loverboy of 18th-century Venice, to be wicked, ribald fun. One would be wrong."

Casino Royale (2006)

"You who carped that the 007 films had devolved into a catalog of fresh gadgets and stale puns, eat crow. You who said that the Austin Powers superspy spoofs made James Bond irrelevant, behave."

Cast Away (2000)

"While Cast Away works as a simple saga of survival, the film plays on deeper levels too."

Catch a Fire (2006)

"Luke is fine in the lead, proving that his good work in Antoine Fisher was no fluke."

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

"Fleet-footed and fun, if a mite too long."

Cats & Dogs (2001)

"Cat people and dog people of all ages will enjoy the tactics of this interspecies war, though the film makes the somewhat exaggerated assumption that cats are selfish and fascist and that dogs are selfless and humanist."

The Cave (2005)

The Cell (2000)

"Whatever happened to minimalism?"

The Center of the World (2001)

"Enough to send you running from the theater, yawning."

Chandni Chowk to China (2009)

"If Slumdog Millionaire's success has Hollywood thinking American audiences are ready for the authentic Indian movie experience, Chandni Chowk to China could quickly put the kibosh on that notion."

Changing Lanes (2002)

"A seething, searing tragedy of unmannerliness."

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

"A mischievously inventive, surreal entertainment, one that celebrates not only Whipple Scrumptious Fudgemallow Delight and Nutty Crunch Surprise but Busby Berkeley, Stanley Kubrick, the Beatles, and the outer-space acting choices of one Johnny Depp."

Charlie Wilson's War (2007)

"Charlie Wilson's War tells its tale briskly, almost merrily. This is not a sober history lesson, but a political comedy laced with sex (party girls in limos, strippers in hot tubs), booze, and even good old-fashioned cocaine."

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)

"Gleefully airheaded and slick."

Charlotte's Web (2006)

"The movie may not be perfect, but it beautifully distills White's simple message. We are all born to die. But we are also born to befriend."

Chasing Papi (2003)

"A buoyant antidote to those toxic all-you-need- is-love romantic comedies."

Che (2008)

"With Benicio Del Toro delivering a fiercely indrawn and mesmerizing performance in the title role, Che is neither a hagiography nor a superficial character sketch."
