Splat 1/5 |
Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Movies about flesh-eating viruses don't come along every day. Cabin Fever, which opens today, demonstrates why." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Caché (2005) |
"This French film (in bad, washed-out English subtitles) is a quiet chiller. A family's social fabric unravels right before our eyes." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Cadillac Records (2008) |
"Any student of rock history would have to be concerned that Hollywood might have only one chance to get this right. Cadillac Records doesn't manage that, but with this cast doing its own singing, and history this rich, it's close enough for rock 'n' roll." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Calendar Girls (2003) |
"Sentimental and eccentric." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Camp (2003) |
"A soap-opera patchwork of worn backstage cliches." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
El Cantante (2007) |
"The movie's good intentions and great music win out." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"Capitalism is alternately moving and disheartening, energizing and enervating." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Capote (2005) |
"A meditation on the artist's obligations to the art and to society and lines that blur when you cross them." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"Under any circumstances, Captain Corelli's Mandolin would be a pretty poor excuse for a movie." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 1/5 |
Captivity (2007) |
"No acting, no pulse-pounding suspense, no humor or vicarious visceral thrills. There's a story, here, and not on the screen. It's about what happened to a once-fine filmmaker that brought him this low." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"Watching this remarkable production is like going on safari to that creepy world. It's a fascinating place to visit, but you wouldn't, not for a minute, want to live there." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Carandiru (2004) |
"We're served up meaty, often spicy, slices of sadly wasted lives." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Cars (2006) |
"It's beautiful to look at. The talking cars feel more alive than talking cars should." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"Each woman is a cardboard cutout, and the talented actresses here seem boxed in by their roles." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
Casanova (2005) |
"The sticky sweet stuff in the middle traps history's greatest lover and slows the whole affair to a crawl." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"It's not as bad as Die Another Day, and not up to the jolly mayhem of the best films in the series." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"If all [Woody Allen] is going to do is grind out weak, Brit-accented genre pieces that pay homage to 1940s and '50s melodramas, he shouldn't waste the frequent-flier miles." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Cast Away (2000) |
"This second section is a masterpiece of filmmaking and a tour de force of acting." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Cat's Meow (2002) |
"Well-cast, smartly directed and mounted, it's built upon an intriguing piece of Hollywood lore." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Catch a Fire (2006) |
"Catch a Fire ignites, incites and informs as few other movies of the fall do." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"Catch and Release is a perfectly likable romantic tragi-comedy, and therein lies the problem. If the essence of drama and comedy is conflict, what do you get when you wash the conflict away in an effort to make everybody 'likable'?" |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"Spielberg knows that he has a great yarn here, and he's not about to let anything -- not even his own virtuoso style, which can elsewhere be effectively glitzy -- get in the way." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Caterina in the Big City (2005) |
"A lovely and thoughtful exploration of the end of childhood innocence." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Cats & Dogs (2001) |
"Cats & Dogs needed to have more gags and punchlines than Dr. Dolittle. Unfortunately, all it has is a great concept." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Catwoman (2004) |
"Arguably the worst superhero film ever made." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 1/5 |
The Cave (2005) |
"Why would anybody go in The Cave?" |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Cecil B. Demented (2000) |
"Not even the reassuring familiarity of the Waters stock company (including Mink Stole, Ricki Lake and, pointedly in this case, Patty Hearst) is enough to fully redeem this effort." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato |
The Cell (2000) |
"The Cell is far from a perfect movie. But it is the creepiest one I've seen since The Sixth Sense." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Cellular (2004) |
"Ellis manages a few sudden shocks, but he and the editors never discovered the secret of ratcheting up suspense." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Center of the World (2001) |
"There's something numbingly predictable about Wang's whole approach." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Chandni Chowk to China (2009) |
"There simply isn't enough Indian spice to make this ancient Chinese recipe fresh." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Changeling (2008) |
"If the film is too long and a little unwieldy in its later acts, the consummate craftsman in Eastwood glosses over that with detail and righteous rage." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Changing Lanes (2002) |
"Changing Lanes never stops moving. But sometimes it heads in the wrong direction." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 5/5 |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"A glorious pageant of wit and whimsy, and a new milestone in childhood moviegoing." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Charlie Bartlett (2007) |
"Imagine an R-rated Ferris Bueller with only the most annoying parts of the younger Matthew Broderick's screen persona emphasized and you'll draw a bead on Bartlett." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"The history that's here is worth knowing, and Hanks, Roberts, Hoffman and Nichols make those Beat-the-Russkies '80s seem like a party." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Charlie's Angels (2000) |
"[McG] is in way over his head." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) |
"Most action flicks, even the wildest ones, try to get you to go along with their over-the-top contortions. But the action scenes in Full Throttle don't even attempt to be plausible. And that's just why they're so much fun." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato |
Charlotte Gray (2001) |
"This is Blanchett's film. Her quiet, detailed work leaves you wanting more." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 5/5 |
Charlotte's Web (2006) |
""Some pig?" Sure. Some spider. And some book. Some movie, too." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Chasing Liberty (2004) |
"Chasing Liberty chases laughs and charm for most of its 100 minutes. It loses both races, but it has its moments, an engaging cast and a lot of scenery of the great cities of Europe." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Chasing Papi (2003) |
"Cliched characters, implausible situations and a comic style reminiscent of an out-of-control party make for an unfunny, if generally good-natured, ordeal." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
Che, Part One (2008) |
"In releasing this reverent, meticulous, fascinating but flaccid history in two lengthy parts, Soderbergh committed perhaps the greatest sin of all. He made Che boring." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) |
"It wastes Hunt's whiplash-quick timing and further reduces the once-wild, once-crazy Martin to the generic father figure he has collected checks for in too many recent movies." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (2005) |
"Two Dozens and Ours together don't have a dozen laughs between them." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Cheri (2009) |
"Frears and his Liaisons screenwriter, Christopher Hampton, give us a period piece in which the settings are fab, but the liaisons aren't dangerous, or even romantic." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Cherish (2002) |
"You'll be entertained and utterly engrossed in this deceptively challenging little thriller." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Chicago (2002) |
"It prances. It struts. It kicks up its heels. It bumps and grinds and gyrates and works up a sweat and has a cigarette afterwards." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Chicago 10 (2008) |
"Chicago 10 is that nearly perfect marriage of style -- edgy, different -- to documentary subject: 1968, that seminal year so celebrated in 2008 for changing the America that came after it." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Chicken Little (2005) |
"When Disney can't hit a tried-and-true fairy-tale adaptation out of the park, maybe it's time to give up the ghost and get Pixar back on the phone." |
