Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Horror fans will cherish Cabin Fever, and stout-hearted movie lovers in general would be wise to scope it out even if they have to peek between their fingers." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Caché (2005) |
"Haneke's characters are never easy to like, yet it's impossible not to empathize with their anxiety. It's his mastery of the craft, both visual and sonic, that pulls viewers along in its grip." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Call Me Malcolm (2005) |
"Relies too much on Himschoot to keep viewers engaged." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Callas Forever (2004) |
"Although the film will hold little appeal for non-opera buffs, its warmth trumps its clichés, odd casting and overacting." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Camp (2003) |
"You'll have trouble keeping your toes from tapping." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Candy (2006) |
"Both actors are immensely impressive, so perversely appealing that you want them to survive their addiction and keep on with their terrific performances." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Canyon (2009) |
"Hint to newlyweds: Don't honeymoon in a primeval wilderness populated by diamondback rattlesnakes, aggressive wolves and alcoholic wilderness guides." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cape Of Good Hope (2005) |

Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |

"Gentle, humanistic and suffocatingly sentimental." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Captivity (2007) |

Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |

Carandiru (2004) |
"Carandiru is no typical prison movie. And that's a good thing." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Carnage (2003) |
"The sort of film whose makers would be pleased to hear it called 'unclassifiable.' A more accurate description is 'unfathomable.'" |
Colin Covert |
Tomato |
Cars (2006) |
"It takes everything that's made Pixar shorthand for animation excellence -- strong characters, tight pacing, spot-on voice casting, a warm sense of humor and visuals that are pure, pixilated bliss -- and carries them to the next stage." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Casanova (2005) |
"The movie sidesteps modern-day issues of political correctness raised by a story about a rogue who shamelessly uses women for his own amusement. This is all done for our amusement." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2/4 |
Cashback (2007) |
"It's awkwardly drawn out to feature length with not-truly-comic secondary characters on the supermarket team, and go-nowhere incidents like a soccer match with a rival store and an unresolved encounter with another time-stopper." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"Casino Royale takes a huge gamble that moviegoers are ready for a fresh take on James Bond. And it wins the bet." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Cassandra's Dream (2008) |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Catch a Fire (2006) |
"[Dirctor Phillp Noyce's] goal earns him empathy. But the film goes further than that, creating an absorbing portrait of a peaceful, well-meaning man who is mistreated at every turn until he finally strikes back." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 1/4 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"If it should happen that one day Netflix includes Catch and Release among "Movies you'd also enjoy," consider cancelling your subscription." |

Cats & Dogs (2001) |

Catwoman (2004) |
"The movie suffers from the opposite of a syndrome affecting most comic-book spin-offs." |
Jeff Strickler |

The Cave (2005) |
"Ten things I learned watching The Cave. 1. 'Beneath heaven lies hell. Beneath hell lies the cave.' 2. Beneath that lies the theater showing The Cave." |

Chandni Chowk to China (2009) |
"Chandni Chowk to China supposedly is the 'the first-ever Bollywood kung-fu comedy,' which makes me pray fervently that it will also be the last." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Changeling (2008) |

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"There's not a lot of substance to the kid-flick fantasy, but it does an exquisite job of transporting the viewers -- along with the protagonists -- to a gloriously magical setting." |
Jeff Strickler |

Tomato 3/4 |
Charlotte's Web (2006) |
