Caligula (1979) |
"professes to be an honest depiction of ancient Roman excesses, but it succeeds only in being alternately boring and offensive" |
James Kendrick |
Splat 2/4 |
Can't Hardly Wait (1998) |
"Most of the film feels a bit trite; too much of it comes off like warmed-over jokes from other teen romp flicks." |

Cape Fear (1991) |
"Scorsese managed to make a commercially viable thriller without sacrificing his own thematic interests and distinctive stamp as a director" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"in our brave new world of Glenn Beck-style paranoia, anger, and histrionics masquerading as political discourse, Moore's sarcastic mugging seems very nearly quaint" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 4/4 |
Capote (2005) |
"Capote, a brilliantly tense and disquieting film, covers only six years in the life of writer Truman Capote - - yet it brilliantly employs those years to convey Capote’s conflicted essence." |

Cars (2006) |

James Kendrick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |

"Daniel Craig succeeds in doing the impossible: He takes a cartoon character and makes him human" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Casque D'or (1952) |
"the film's vision of love at first sight and romantic dedication is the potent stuff of dreams, and only the most fervent of cynics will fail to be moved by it" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cast Away (2000) |
"it is testament to the acting prowess and undeniable humanity exuded by Tom Hanks that he can carry long stretches of the film literally by himself" |

James Kendrick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |

"an enjoyable movie that uses special effects with some interesting twists" |
James Kendrick |

Cecil B. Demented (2000) |

The Cell (2000) |

Change of Habit (1969) |
"Maybe the studio brass thought it would be hit; viewed now, it looks like a desperate reach, a blind attempt to do anything to connect with the audience." |
James Kendrick |

Changing Lanes (2002) |
"at its most powerful ... when it shows us the complexities of moral decision making in a fast-paced world that leaves little time for such choices" |

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"Like a good piece of candy, Tim Burton's fantastical big-screen version of Roald Dahl's children's classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is sweet with just the right touch of sour." |
James Kendrick |
Splat 2/5 |
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"At a short 93 minutes, it feels as though Charlie Wilson's War was hacked up in the editing room, leaving the bare bones of the structure but little of the really juicy meat." |
James Kendrick |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Charlotte's Web (2006) |
"There are highly unnecessary fart jokes (okay, we all know kids get a giggle out of passing gas, but does every child-centric movie have to cater to this whim?), and some of the expanded animal characters don't have much point." |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |

Chicago (2002) |
"it now plays as almost pure parody, more outright comedy than bitter satire" |
James Kendrick |

Chicken Little (2005) |
"Although a perfectly presentable animated comedy, it lacks any sense of magic or true innovation." |
