"Endlessly entertaining horror film." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Caché (2005) |
"Both Auteuil and Binoche superbly craft world-weary characters who feel alienated and objectified. The pathos seeps through the screen." |

Caddyshack (1980) |
"One of the all-time classic comedies. Lightning in a bottle, in a bunker." |

The Caine Mutiny (1954) |
"Bogart shines brightest, finding strength in weakness." |

Calendar Girls (2003) |
"Could Raise the Roof, in which residents of a decrepit Liverpool rest home make their own porn movie to raise cash to repair the ceiling, be far behind?" |

Camp (2003) |
"Don't cop to what others think you should be. Stay true to your inner light. Be yourself, la la la!" |

Tomato 3/4 |
Candy (2006) |
""Candy" won't make anyone forget "Trainspotting" (1996) or "Requiem for a Dream" (2000), but nor will "Candy" let those who see it soon forget the experience." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
El Cantante (2007) |
"Ichaso takes the inspiration-explanation technique a step further, setting up scenes that echo Lavoe's album covers, which flash across the screen. Corny, yes, but sort of cool." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 4/5 |
Cape Fear (1991) |
"Very frightening. An inspired remake." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capote (2005) |
"As with Foxx, Hoffman's acting is so immaculate that you don't analyze his performance, you bask in its glow of seemingly effortless truth." |

Caramel (2008) |
"A 34-year-old music-video director, Labaki shows promise with a smooth, artistic eye, although she succumbs to the Mel Gibson-like tendency to give herself the most closeups." |
Phil Villarreal |

Carandiru (2004) |

Carrie (1976) |
"The bulk of "Carrie" is not a gore-fest, but a prescient tone poem about the mental torture of social outcasts in high school halls in the pre-Columbine era." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2/4 |
Cars (2006) |
"All of this sloppy characterization would have been forgivable if the cars had funny things to say, but the script is mainly a succession of bad car puns." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 4/4 |
Casablanca (1942) |
"The movie gods kissed the production with a confluence of brilliant writing, photography and acting, with all parties collaborating at their ultimate peak of potential." |
Phil Villarreal |

"Bogdanovich's vision is a broodingly delightful spectacle to behold." |

Catch and Release (2007) |
"Kevin Smith has a commanding, affable presence that hints his acting career may surpass his considerable directorial successes. It's a performance that would land an Oscar nomination, if only the film it came from weren't so weak." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"The film's only missteps come from the script's insistence on providing deep emotional motivation for each and every one of Abagnale's antics." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 1/4 |
Catwoman (2004) |
"Hate is a strong word, but nowhere near fierce enough to describe the ear-steaming loathing Catwoman deserves." |

The Cave (2005) |
"Romps along on its endearingly dumb, shameless wavelength." |
Phil Villarreal |

Cave of the Yellow Dog (2006) |
"Add in a wisecracking sidekick with a Brooklyn accent, and the Mongolian drama "Cave of the Yellow Dog" could be remade as a Disney cartoon." |
