Camp (2003) |
"When I come out of a movie and jump on the cel phone to tell anyone in my time zone to see it when it comes out, it made a visceral impact on me.

Can't Hardly Wait (1998) |
"I totally loved this movie. My group was aged 28-33, and we laughed, roared, bust a gut laughing, the whole movie." |

Capote (2005) |
"Even pre-biased to adore Hoffman, I was surprised and delighted by his nuanced performance." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"It's compelling as hell, and it's a glimpse into the personal hell of a family torn apart by ugly acts." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Cars (2006) |
"Pixar is the safest entertainment bet in town. So when I see what was really an uninteresting-looking preview, I ran out to see it. It had unexpected pleasures and was just as I had hoped." |

Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"Spielberg slips in social commentary
between Abagnale's prodigious feats of lawlessness & capitalizes on the
glee of watching someone beat the system." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3 |
Cats & Dogs (2001) |
"It's not derivative so much as an homage - and it is this that saves the film from being just another talking animal movie." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5 |
Cats Don't Dance (1997) |
"For you fuddy duddies out there who think cartoons are for kids, I don't know when the last time you saw a cartoon was, but movie cartoons have never been for kids." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Changing Lanes (2002) |
"Viscerally engaging as you cringe at their actions & reel in surprise at the result & the new information...a nice little movie that also redeemed both actors a great deal." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"Like Sense and Sensibility, a good screenplay can be its own creation and still be slavishly true to its source...a perfect cast and a loviong adaptation. Read the book." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Charlie Wilson's War (2007) |
"Two vaguely amoral do-gooders do their part to fight Commies in a secret hot war during a cold one%u2026you know, the one that installed the Taliban in Afghanistan and turned it into a place armed to the teeth and crazy pissed at us. Then Sorkin and Nich" |

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) |
"Do not go in here expecting "an action movie" or an "up with people especially girls" kind of flick. This is basically PG-13 porn. And it's a blast." |

Chasing Amy (1997) |
"It's fun and infantile and vulgar, like Clerks, but with a really mature message and well-developed characters." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5/5 |
Chicago (2002) |
"Intoxicating! I love love love it. I hope you will too. But you can never say they don't give you every penny's worth." |

Chicken Run (2000) |
"Inventiveness taken to new levels...simply a marvel." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Children of Men (2006) |
"I have to confess that at times I was so flabbergasted by the incredible camerawork and long shots, I forgot to listen to the story. I loved it." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5 |
Chocolat (2000) |
"Nothing in the story is unpredictable, but watching these events unfold is as delightful as when your mom told you your favorite story for the 100th time." |

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008) |
"Prince Caspian (the movie) is gorgeous and a total snore. The boy is just gorgeous. Whitewashing the themes also removed the story." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (2005) |
"Brilliant child actors eomtionally sell an effects-heavy but seamless and true adaptation of the beloved book." |

The Cider House Rules (1999) |
"I am probably going to be whipped behind the woodshed for saying so, but I was seriously underwhelmed by this Best Picture nominee." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5/5 |
Cinderella Man (2005) |
"I have never rooted for a sporting event in my life like I rooted for Braddock. I was on the edge of my couch, balled fists on my knees, praying he would prevail...superbly edited, beautifully shot, sensitively acted, and with fantastic grit and texture" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Cinemania (2003) |
"Creepily fascinating. For all that they consume, they seem little interested in the films themselves, as an art form or as an industry." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009) |
"The funny bits are amusing, the action entertaining, the themes simple, the promise of future tales tantalizing, and the overall feel of the movie is more charming than epic or scary." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5 |
City of Angels (1998) |
"I know a movie is good when I totally cease taking notes and then can find no adjectives to jot down. I was enthralled and yet not stupefied." |
Karina Montgomery |

City of God (2003) |
"Incredible editing, but leaves an awful taste in my mouth - and I am totally desensitized to violence!" |

A Civil Action (1998) |
"Well, I know a movie is not worth seeing if I can't work up the energy to write about it for two weeks." |

Clockstoppers (2002) |
"I was actually entertained and amused; but overall the movie is adequate and little more." |

Clockwatchers (1997) |
"The production design of Clockwatchers is great - brilliant use of almost no money, good performances and nice ensemble." |

Closer (2004) |
"Great performances of repellant, compelling characters in an intimate film that left an interesting, complex, but bad taste in my mouth." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5 |
The Closet (2001) |
"The story idea is new and different, and the plot turns are fun and interesting, with that oh-so-tres-French bittersweetness lurking below the surface Auteuil is perfect..." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5/5 |
Cloverfield (2008) |
"Nothing feels choreographed or contrived %u2013 every shot of disaster is found footage or dumb luck, every glimpse of the threat is fleeting and often unsatisfying. This is, simply put, awesome. To make things better, the movie is intensely character-d" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Cold Mountain (2003) |
"...has a level of artistry and heart that I would normally not give Mr. Minghella credit for...a little too long and still feels like something is missing..." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Cold Souls (2009) |
"High concept, interesting, and well-performed, but ironically soulless. I enjoyed the journey we went on with Paul, but it had some intangible thing lacking." |
Karina Montgomery |

Collateral Damage (2002) |
"If you are still quaking with rage at 9/11/01, go ahead and rent it, & just try not to ask too many questions. It might make you feel a little better." |

College (1927) |
"it's not the General but it's a treasure" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Comedian (2002) |
"It doesn't have a narrative arc so much as it sips from the snifter of the life of a comedian, but that does not detract from its interest one bit." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Comedy Central Roast of William Shatner Uncensored (2006) |
"Spans 4 decades of embarrassing spoken word performances, well-loved, iconic, & cheesy performances for the ages, 3 distinct television series, some commercials, & amusing, self-deprecating roles, & an impeccable personal life. He's the perfect target." |

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002) |
"The movie isn't out to answer questions, but to show you just how deep & intesting those questions can get. In the mean time, it's damn entertaining." |
Karina Montgomery |

Confidence (2003) |
"On one level, it doesn't *seem* new and familiar, and yet here it is, feeling so anyway." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Connie and Carla (2004) |
"If you find meticulously staged, passionately sung anthems about love, beauty, truth, and joy to be tiresome, then don't drop a dime on this film. Otherwise GO!" |

The Constant Gardener (2005) |
"It's the artiest conspiracy theory movie in a while, not too pulpy or too auteurish, but just right." |
Karina Montgomery |

Constantine (2005) |
