Cabin Fever (2003)

"The movie is well shot and decently acted for its genre, but it lacks the distinctive vision to make it of value to anyone not already convinced of the inherent entertainment value in flying body parts."

Cadillac Records (2008)

"Fifty years on, we're still living with the aftershocks of what Muddy and Wolf invented and the Chess brothers midwived, but it's in the air and not yet on the screen."

Calendar Girls (2003)

"A featherweight trifle."

Calle 54 (2001)

"Although it isn't the human-interest story that Buena Vista Social Club was, Fernando Trueba's Calle 54 is the next best thing to that milestone musical documentary."

Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? (2006)

"A rousing, sometimes funny, frequently depressing documentary."

El Cantante (2007)

"Where's the ambition? Where's the passion?"

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)

"Isn’t every Michael Moore film ultimately about capitalism? This one just has a more facetious title."

Captain Abu Raed (2008)

"Writer-director Amin Matalqa’s debut affirms life, plucks heartstrings, and knows no shame."

Captivity (2007)

"It's a Saw rip-off with less smarts. (Take a moment, please, to allow that sentence to sink in.)"

Caramel (2008)

"In a culture where female sexuality is problematic at best, how is a woman supposed to feed both body and heart? Through makeovers, support, and necessary lies, Caramel curtly answers."

Carnage (1984)

Cars (2006)

"The short answer is: Pixar does it again."

Casanova (2005)

"The movie treats trysting as comedy and yet is stingy with the laughs. An action-packed life is now the chaste story of a rake whose romantic reformation is supposed to make us swoon. Must love dog? No thanks."

Casino Royale (2006)

"Let the purists squawk: In Daniel Craig, the Bond franchise has finally found a 007 whose cruel charisma rivals that of Sean Connery."

Cast Away (2000)

"A brave film, and a surprisingly absorbing and finally affecting one, partly because it's about that least American of trinities -- silence, solitariness, and the spiritual deepening impossible to achieve without both."

The Cat's Meow (2002)

"It's pretty linear and only makeup-deep, but Bogdanovich ties it together with efficiency and an affection for the period."

Catch and Release (2007)

"The film's a pleasant enough daydream before it turns all squoodgy at the end."

Catch That Kid (2004)

"A slick little package that will seem patently ridiculous to anyone past adolescence even as their younger brothers and sisters eat it up."

Catwoman (2004)

"Watching [Halle Berry] run around in that getup I felt embarrassed, the way I do for people who put on makeup before climbing a StairMaster -- it's too much."

The Cave (2005)

"The Cave answers every question I've ever had about what might happen when a handful of hotties head deep inside the earth. For starters, the middle-aged and intelligent die early."

The Caveman's Valentine (2001)

"Dramatically speaking, The Caveman's Valentine is a dead end."

The Cell (2000)

"The Cell spends most of its time trying to live up to its dazzling visuals. It never quite does, although it and Jennifer Lopez are quite an eyeful."

The Center of the World (2001)

"The unflinching honesty promised by the film's choice of subject and style is never delivered at any involving level."

Chalk (2007)

"Chalk might have been both funnier and more penetrating as a real documentary."

Changeling (2008)

"Eastwood overcompensates for the movie's meandering with a succession of hysterics -- from men, women, and children."
