Calendar Girls (2003) |
"Places itself in a tradition of films that are fairly easy to make, looks like it's doing a professional job and still ends up failing." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"I would love to know what kind of emotions were running through those who took part in the Cephalonia romances, and this movie doesn't help me much." |

Cast Away (2000) |
"This is a good film; if it had stuck to its guns, it could have become a cinema classic." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 4/4 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"This movie got me grinning. There's a part of us that cannot help be entertained by the sight of someone getting away with something." |

Changing Lanes (2002) |
"One of the best films I have ever seen, constantly pulling the rug from underneath us, seeing things from new sides, plunging deeper, getting more intense." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 1/4 |
Charlie's Angels (2000) |
"It strains to be funny with unwelcome forced cheese that instantly hits the floor, in the midst of inappropriate music and nonsensical movements by the actors that launch themselves upon us through rapid fire cuts and gaudily bright photography." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Charlotte Gray (2001) |
"Leaps into an unconvincing situation and sees it with an unsure point of view" |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cherry Falls (2000) |
"A stylish and forthright slasher pic that knows what it wants, knows how to get it, and gets us hooting in the aisles like the bloodthirsty fiends we really are." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Chicago (2002) |
"Sure, there are flaws, but the moments that do things properly see the screen burst with confidence, rhythm, heat and pizzazz." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 2/4 |
Chicken Run (2000) |
"For older children and adults, it's thin soup." |

Chuck & Buck (2000) |
"Chuck & Buck is terrific up until its last act, when it takes such a wrong turn that I almost want to write two separate reviews." |

Circus (2000) |
"Too many twists and turns, from too many unexpected angles." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 4/4 |
City of God (2003) |
"Heartbreaking and savage without being affectedly artsy or lingering. It employs sound and visuals that have a knack for conveying senses of humour, rhythms of days and the auras and values of people." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
A Civil Action (1998) |
"Travolta may not be perfectly cast as jaded attorney Jan, and does not make this role his own, but still carries the film rather well, and I can't complain." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Tomato 3/4 |
Clockstoppers (2002) |
"Light, silly, photographed with colour and depth, and rather a good time." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 2/4 |
Cold Mountain (2003) |
"Whether we're watching the domestic struggles of Kidman or Law doing moody wandering, scenes run on randomly, and don't build into a structure with arc or emphasis." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 1/4 |
Collateral Damage (2002) |
"Both offensive and flat" |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) |
"The movie feels like it's going to be great, and it carries on feeling that way for a long time, but takeoff just never happens." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Contender (2000) |
"There are few things more involving than watching someone sticking to their guns" |

Cremaster 2 (1999) |
"It's a little longer than Cremaster 1, and it has extra room for more confusing craziness." |

Cremaster 3 (2002) |
"The endurance test of the Cremaster series." |

"Lots of classy dark colours and soaring music..." |

The Criminal (2001) |
"I thought the movie was going to follow through, but it settles into a conventional man-on-the-run formula." |

The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (2002) |
"An exercise in cutting between three tacked-on subplots. The film has moments that make us smile, but mostly feels choppy, drained of momentum and endless." |
Ian Waldron-Mantgani |
Splat 2/4 |
Crossroads (2002) |
"A bizarre piece of work, with premise and dialogue at the level of kids' television and plot threads as morose as teen pregnancy, rape and suspected murder" |

The Curse of the Jade Scorpion (2001) |
"Is it funny? Yeah, kinda. But somehow it doesn't all come together. It's not that the material is lacking, but, incredibly for an Allen picture, that the delivery is off-kilter." |
