Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Cabin Fever is something you don't want to catch." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 4/5 |
Caché (2005) |
"This is a film you will be discussing for days, trying to figure out what actually happened and why." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Cadillac Records (2008) |
"The music is, of course, great. But the real strength of Cadillac Records is found in the stories behind it." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Cake Eaters (2009) |
"These are people whose company you enjoy, in good times and bad. Taking place over a short period of time, it's a small slice of life, yes. But as the title implies, it's a tasty one as well." |
Bill Goodykoontz |

Calendar Girls (2003) |
"Cozy and enjoyable." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Camp (2003) |
"A poor man's Fame. If you can live with that, it makes for a somewhat entertaining experience." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |
Splat 3/5 |
Candy (2006) |
"There's no moment that truly feels original until Candy's climactic breakdown at the end of the movie. By then, it's too late." |
Kerry Lengel |
Splat 1.5/5 |
El Cantante (2007) |
"You're watching Jennifer Lopez, but you may as well be watching a female impersonator impersonating Jennifer Lopez." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 3/5 |
Canvas (2007) |
"Canvas is worth seeing for the acting, but the disease-of-the-week conventions and hackneyed visuals pretty well knock the wind out of its sails." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"Capitalism may be flawed, but it is nevertheless entertaining. Which counts for a lot." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Capote (2005) |
"This spare, uncompromising portrait not only examines what drove the author but delves into the ethics of journalists who identify with their subjects, or pretend to, in order to report their stories." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"It takes the concept of reality television and twists it into a shocking but poignant art form." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Cars (2006) |
"The truest measure of the movie is that eventually we forget we're watching a bunch of vehicles with faces and start to think of them as individual characters. It's quite an accomplishment, and perhaps one only possible by Pixar." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"A raw slice of life that goes beyond the obvious external issues." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |
Splat 3/5 |
Casanova (2005) |
"Casanova is just plain ordinary." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"The movie also travels the dark path of the book, which I won't detail here, but just know that Bond has to suffer for his art." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"If you must see only one film about a family's downward spiral into despair, it probably should be Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, not Cassandra's Dream." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Catch a Fire (2006) |
"The characters are not plot-serving constructs, so they behave in ways that are often contradictory, much like real people." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"Catch & Release? Nah. Try Net & Forget." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"It's more amusing than hilarious, more cute than inspired, but there's just too much talent on and off the screen for it to fail." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Catch That Kid (2004) |
"The movie is painless enough, even if it's never as exciting as it should be." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Catwoman (2004) |
"This wretched film is nothing but an excuse to show [Halle Berry] wearing that skimpy leather suit." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1/4 |
The Cave (2005) |
"Despite the occasional chuckles of embarrassment for what the cast (including Morris Chestnut, Piper Perabo, and Eddie Cibrian) must endure, The Cave is a dead end." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Celestine Prophecy (2006) |
"The movie is self-conscious and lacks dramatic tension, and the dialogue sounds like people reading passages from James Redfield's novel ..." |

Celsius 41.11 (2004) |
"Like its cinematically superior inspiration, Celsius 41.11 isn't going to change many minds." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 4/5 |
Chandni Chowk to China (2009) |
"If Chandni Chowk to China is any indication, a combination of Bollywood and kung-fu movies is something the world needed without even realizing it." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3/5 |
Changeling (2008) |
"Changeling is a fine-enough movie. It's just that it's aware of the fact, and neither Eastwood nor Jolie ever lets the audience forget it." |

Chaos (2003) |
"Despite some odd pacing and a longish, off-putting flashback, Chaos succeeds more than it fails." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Chaos Theory (2008) |
"The funny bits are kind of funny. But the dramatic developments, in particular the one that drives the bulk of the story, are far less successful." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"A great piece of entertainment." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 3/5 |
Charlie Bartlett (2007) |
"It overdoes the quirkiness and underdoes the character development, but, in the end, it's salvaged by a remarkable performance by Robert Downey Jr., who hardly ever gives any other kind." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"When Charlie Wilson's War is on target -- pretty much every time Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman appear on-screen together -- it's a really enjoyable movie." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2/5 |
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) |
"Loud but listless, this sequel plays like coming attractions for a movie that never shows up." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Charlotte's Web (2006) |
"There's too much talent and too strong a story to mess it up. There was potential for more here, but this incarnation is nothing to be ashamed of, and some of the actors answer the bell." |

Chasing Liberty (2004) |
"Not a pleasant way to spend an hour and 45 minutes." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Chasing October (2007) |
"Whether you find the film funny, inspiring or exasperating will depend on how deeply you buy the setup. In these days of Postmodern times, nothing it seems is quite what it seems." |
Richard Nilsen |
Splat 1/5 |
Chasing Papi (2003) |
"The whole thing is loud and unfunny, not showing off anyone to good advantage." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) |
"Belongs to that old Hollywood genus and species -- comedicus genericus." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (2005) |
"It aims to be pleasant and good-natured, which it is. There are enough laughs scattered throughout to keep everything moderately amusing, and the cast is likeable." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 3/5 |
Cheri (2009) |
"Cheri is a serviceable period piece, but not much more." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 3/5 |
Cherish (2002) |
"Suffers from unlikable characters and a self-conscious sense of its own quirky hipness." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
Chicago (2002) |
"Marshall has created a glitzy, seductive, high-energy movie that feels more like a filmed play than a play made into a film." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3.5/5 |
Chicken Little (2005) |
"For a movie that's supposed to launch Disney's official CGI era, Chicken Little doesn't stand tall enough." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Children of Men (2006) |
"Everything comes together in Children of Men, from Owen's white-knuckled performance to the eclectic soundtrack." |
