Tomato 3.5/4 |
C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005) |
"A full-to-bursting picture that shouts and whispers and darts and meanders and fascinates and frustrates and teems at the seams with raw vitality." |

Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Cabin Fever is imitative, but it's honestly and even reverentially so -- what Roth borrows he at least has the grace to pay back." |

Cadillac Records (2008) |
"Anyone who likes pop music or wonders how bands like the Rolling Stones got rolling will enjoy the ride." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Caiman (2006) |
"A familiarity with the vagaries of Italian politics in the last 20 years is a help, but not a necessity, to appreciate this fascinating at times farcical blend of domestic drama and political rumination." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
Cairo Time (2009) |
"Though the aim is subtlety, Cairo Time often seems to be making too much of too little." |
Liam Lacey |

Cake (2004) |
"Cake's moments of charm and the cast's good cheer compensate for the thinness of the material." |
Jason Anderson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Calendar Girls (2003) |
"[Mirren and Walters] have the moxie and art to make you forget -- at least for stretches -- the very wobbly contrivance of the story around them." |

Camp (2003) |
"There are moments when you're not sure whether you're supposed to scoff with Camp, or at it." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Campfire (2004) |
"Cedar knows that political ideology is often just the public voice given to the siren call of deeper motivations. It's these more basic instincts -- sex, loneliness, jealousy, fear -- that interest him, and his observant movie is the better for it." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Can't Hardly Wait (1998) |
"Manages to serve up new rock, eighties dance music, rap and Barry Manilow -- a combination custom-made to annoy audiences of all ages." |

El Cantante (2007) |
"El Cantante has to legitimize its subject before it can immortalize him; and in the effort, it makes the mistake of letting a star get in the way of the truth." |
Mark Lepage |
Splat 2/4 |
Canvas (2007) |
"It's like a public service announcement with dialogue." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"As a filmmaker creating a product for a marketplace, supported by profit-seeking investors, he obviously has some comfort level with capitalism in the sense of doing business." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capote (2005) |
"I came in expecting Hoffman's tour de force and left with a fuller appreciation of the quiet yet lethal film around him. Lethal, because what it says about the writer's craft, about what often gets destroyed in the name of creation." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |

Captivity (2007) |
"The controversy may have piqued the curiosity of horror fans but the film is undeserving of any further attention, managing to be both nastily unpleasant and laughably ludicrous." |
Jason Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"Disturbing, yet undeniably fascinating." |
Jennie Punter |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Caramel (2008) |
"As sugary as it may be, Caramel has a likeable edge to it, both in the natural performances of the mostly non-professional cast and the script's sardonic bluntness about social hypocrisies and the women's self-deception." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Carandiru (2004) |

Cars (2006) |
"For parents out there whose future holds the certain prospect of the DVD version blaring repeatedly from family-room screens, let this by your advisory. Warning: Cars comes unequipped with two essential options -- charm and a good muffler." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"Its greatest achievement is to insist that we, the relatively lucky, do what fear and pride seldom allow us to do -- to venture back to life's opening scene, respinning the wheel and replaying the lottery." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Casanova (2005) |
"A forgettable movie but a memorable celluloid poster for Venice." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Cashback (2007) |
"The feature version of a 2004 award-winning British short depicts a sensitive art student who manages to freeze time, allowing him to undress women at his Sainsbury's supermarket and sketch them nude." |

Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"It's enough to make you pine for the good old days -- back when life was only partly ironic and Woody was totally funny." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Cast Away (2000) |
"Cast Away isn't the first to recognize our modern need for primal tales, but it is among the most accomplished. It plugs straight into our unplugged fantasies." |

The Cat's Meow (2002) |
"The result is good gossip, entertainingly delivered, yet with a distinctly musty odour, its expiry date long gone." |
Rick Groen |

Catch a Fire (2006) |
"This one's a nail-biter, a fast-paced, compulsively watchable political thriller." |
James Adams |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"The romantic dramedy Catch and Release is off the mark in so many respects one wonders if it would have been more humane to release this one directly into the DVD stream." |

The Cave (2005) |
"The Cave has a brisk B-movie efficiency, and not much space for bad acting, but it is blatantly derivative -- Alien or Predator in a cave." |
