Cadillac Records (2008) |
"Darnell Martin’s film is distinguished by some more than adequate performances but drifts through the story of the record label." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
El Cantante (2007) |
"In fact, Lopez deserves praise for pushing this project. The recently deceased Puchi (who helped generate the script and pushed for Lopez to play her) is not the kind of character you see on screen every day." |

Splat 1/5 |
Captivity (2007) |
"Larry Cohen, an experienced horror hand, wrote this, and Joffé does his best to keep the tension boiling up to a ridiculous climax. Even so, everybody involved should be ashamed of this nasty farrago." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 1/5 |
Carriers (2009) |
"The movie has as much depth as the single piece of paper on which the script was obviously written." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Cass (2008) |
"There isn't, in fact, a single off-key performance in what is otherwise an ordinary film." |

Charles Dickens' England |
"Painful in the extreme, showing how even the best actor can be made uncomfortable by clumsy direction." |

Charlotte's Web (2006) |
"If you can identify all the voices before the credits roll up, you are a better man than I." |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Chaser (2009) |
"But The Chaser delivers as a piece of cinema rather like Seven did — it doesn’t let up for a moment." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Che, Part One (2008) |
"If you discover a lot about the process and progress of the revolution, this is definitely not the cultural hero of myth, breathtakingly bathed in revolutionary light." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Che, Part Two (2008) |
"It’s expertly made, mind you, and features a performance from Benicio Del Toro, practically masked in whiskers, that is both brave and sincere, like the mistaken Che himself." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Cheri (2009) |
"Chéri looks a real treat, which is half the battle. It may not quite give the measure of Colette, nor Frears at his absolute best, but you don’t have to look at it through rose-tinted glasses to luxuriate in its splendour." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Chiko (2008) |
"Something more than just a thriller — a film as accurate and hard-nosed as it needs to be." |

Choke (2008) |
"Sharper direction and a less throwaway tone would have allowed it to add up to more." |

Choking Man (2007) |

Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009) |
"The film can never quite make up its mind whether it's about the circus or the vampires and ends up a mess of its own making." |

City of Ember (2008) |
"For all the rich production values and well-known cast, City of Ember falters because of both a very ordinary screenplay and dramatic detail that turns around as if there was no tomorrow. You admire the way it looks but it is a penance to get through." |

Cocaine Cowboys (2006) |
"Grisly crime scene snaps accompany the story, which makes Miami Vice look like a tea party and Florida like hell on earth." |
