Tomato 3/4 |
Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Cabin Fever gets the job done. It's appropriately gruesome and genuinely scary -- and, despite the body count and the way people die here, it has a wicked sense of humor." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Caché (2005) |
"Haneke's political message, though thought-provoking, isn't enough to sustain a story that, once its central mystery is solved, lacks a heart." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Cadillac Records (2008) |
"With this cast doing its own singing, and history this rich, it's close enough for rock 'n' roll." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Calendar Girls (2003) |
"The movie -- like the calendar -- moves along smoothly." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato |
Calle 54 (2001) |
"There is much to be said for a music film that seems to be playing directly to us, the viewers." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 4/4 |
Camp (2003) |
"Like that summer holiday -- that vacation -- that you hope will never end." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2/4 |
El Cantante (2007) |
"Perhaps El Cantante will inspire viewers to seek out recordings by Lavoe, who died in 1993 after battles with AIDS and addiction. They probably explain his legendary status much better than the film does." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 4/4 |
Capote (2005) |
"In a brilliant, transformative performance, Hoffman plumbs this paradox, showing every color of the famous author whose mix of sensitivity, selfishness and self-loathing led to his death from alcohol and drugs in 1984." |
Carla Meyer |

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"Handsome as it is, Captain Corelli's Mandolin doesn't really connect." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Captain Pantoja and the Special Services (1999) |
"Pantaleon y las Visitadoras, which has three distinct acts, each of which works as a self-contained little film, runs a whopping 138 minutes. But it remains enjoyable, even as it grows darker." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 4/4 |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"It is one of those rare films whose subject matter alone can wipe you out emotionally." |

Cars (2006) |
"Directed by Pixar creative mastermind John Lasseter, Cars adds plenty of warmth and sweetness to its visual wizardry." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"A collaborative triumph in which the right actresses in the right roles respond to Sayles' ever-gentle touch." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"With Craig in the role, a Bond film suddenly seems like something to be taken seriously." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato |
Cast Away (2000) |
"Dig deep and you'll find a film that's even richer than what its handsome surface seems to reveal." |

The Cat's Meow (2002) |
"Bogdanovich puts history in perspective and, via Kirsten Dunst's remarkable performance, he showcases Davies as a young woman of great charm, generosity and diplomacy." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Catch a Fire (2006) |
"Given the complexity of Chamusso's own story, Catch a Fire might have benefited from a less-ambiguous villain." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"Catch and Release is overlong and unfocused but not entirely unlikable. Unfortunately, its least likable element is its lead character, Gray, played by Jennifer Garner." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"It's fun for a while, a lot of fun, but it should have ended while it was ahead." |
Joe Baltake |

Cats & Dogs (2001) |
"Is about as original as, well, your typical summer assembly-line family entertainment." |

The Caveman's Valentine (2001) |
"Unlike most movies these days, which have very little going on inside them so as not to confuse the audience, The Caveman's Valentine roils with both narrative and cinematic ideas." |

The Celluloid Closet (1996) |
"Even if The Celluloid Closet ... isn't quite the most perfectly political piece of filmmaking that you'd expect (or hoped) it would be, it's still a pretty convincing argument and, what's more, likably entertaining." |

The Center of the World (2001) |
"Why is it that "prestige" sex films, made by name directors and featuring estimable players, are usually so boring?" |

Center Stage (2000) |
"Both too high-minded and too low-minded." |

Central Station (1998) |
"Salles provides a textbook example of how to toy with our emotions, how to involve and move us, without necessarily condescending to us or insulting us." |

Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"The political messages come in fits and starts, but the film's bittersweet final section hints at the far-reaching impact of Wilson's efforts, both positive and negative." |

Charlie's Angels (2000) |
"Charlie's Angels commits the worst movie sin of all: It wastes our time." |

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) |
"Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is a lot like going to a fast-food restaurant. You have no idea what you're eating, but it tastes good and that's all that counts." |

Charlotte Gray (2001) |
"If you have a nostalgic side ... there is much to enjoy about filmmaker Gillian Armstrong's cozy, intimate direction here, which conjures up a very specific ambiance." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 4/4 |
Charlotte's Web (2006) |
"Charlotte's Web gives E.B. White's classic tale a spiffy cinematic update but leaves its core values intact. Visually accomplished and heartfelt, this G-rated gem is radiant, terrific and really some film." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
Charly (2002) |
"The film is old-fashioned, occasionally charming and as subtle as boldface." |
