Camp Nowhere (1994)

"A silly kids movie that should have gone straight to video."

Cape Fear (1962)

"A tense thriller that holds your attention to the very end. The film is aided by one of Bernard Hermann's better scores."

Carmen Jones (1954)

"Interesting Preminger experiment. Modernizing with an all-black cast highlighted by Dandridge and Belafonte is first-rate."

Casablanca (1942)

"If, like me, you’ve seen [i]Casablanca[/i]a dozen or more times, I suggest going straight to one of the two commentary tracks. "

Casino Royale (2006)

"(Daniel) Craig makes an excellent Bond. ... Like (Sean) Connery, he creates an aura of danger and unpredictability."

Cassandra's Dream (2008)

"Cassandra's Dream lacks energy and spark. Monotonous and simplistic, it is definitely not worthy of Woody Allen."

Cat Ballou (1965)

"A wonderful Western spoof. Marvin great in dual role; drags at times, but mostly a hoot."

Catch Me If You Can (2002)

"Catch Me If You Can is more than a cat-and-mouse chase film. For underlying the feature is a feeling of despair and loss."

The Chaplin Collection 2 (1918)

"The bonus materials are the truly exceptional treasures ..."

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

"Director Tim Burton and actor Johnny Depp have done author Roald Dahl’s children's fantasy proud, creating a cinematic fairy tale that is not too Grimm . . ."

Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)

"Voyeurism rules as Full Throttle expends much screen time ogling beautiful actresses who prance around in a variety of disguises and costumes and kick the heck out of various impotent henchmen."

Chicago (2002)

"From its opening note to its final beat, Chicago presents a razzle-dazzle spectacle of song and dance that will make your head spin with its kaleidoscope of cynicism, wit and flash."

Children of the Damned (1964)

"Another sequel that falls short of the original mark."

A Christmas Story (1984)

"The second disc, is nirvana for fans of (Jean) Shepherd as he reads original pieces."

Christmas with the Kranks (2004)

"You’d have to be a Scrooge not to crack a smile during this feature."

A Cinderella Story (2004)

"A Cinderella Story definitely is for the younger film crowd. It’s unabashedly simplistic and formulaic, made to highlight the charms of (Hilary) Duff."

City Lights (1931)

"The greatest and most touching finale of any film. Chaplin's masterpiece mixes comedy and sentiment. it makes you laugh, then brings a tear to your eye."

City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold (1994)

"Another unnecessary sequel; not up to the original."

Clerks (1994)

"A wonderfully funny film debut; from the outset Kevin Smith takes us into his askewed world, and we love it. And I wasn't even supposed to be at work today."

Click (2006)

"... Screenwriters Steve Koren and Mark O’Keefe decide to go Capra-cornish on us and throw in some maudlin dramatics, trying to make Click a contemporary It’s a Wonderful Life."

Clockers (1995)

"A strong, brutal look at the lure of drugs and its effect on young people as well as the cops out to stop it."

Cocoon 2: The Return (1988)

"Should never have come back."

Collateral (2004)

"(Director Michael Mann) creates a noirish atmosphere in which you can almost smell the danger."

College (1927)

"A classic comedy with Keaton in top acrobatic form."

Coming Home (1978)

"A wonderful movie with stellar performances; though Dern is a bit of a caricature."
