Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Cable Guy (1996) |
"The film brilliantly constructs awkward situations that neither character can find ways to get out of and deftly plays with the bizarre nature of human relationships. What makes two people click, and what happens when only one clicks?" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Caché (2005) |
"What is it about Haneke's films that make them click? To take a wild guess it must be the coiled violence inherent in every frame." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Cadillac Records (2008) |
"The movie charts the rise and fall of the label without ever centering on any characters or relationships; it's history without personality." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Cafe Lumiere (2004) |
"Like all Hou films, viewers will want to ponder Cafe Lumiere and its many layers well after this year's Oscars have come and gone." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Call Northside 777 (1948) |
"James Stewart gives a hard-edged performance as a jaded newspaper reporter who turns a classified ad into the story of the century." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Calle 54 (2001) |
"The moments are there. They sneak up on you." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Calvaire (2005) |
"Not so much scary as just plain brutal." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Cameraman (1928) |
"The Cameraman gave Buster one of his best roles and he filled it with one of his most touching and fleshed-out performances, using mostly his intense eyes." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Camp (2003) |
"Eventually the jokes peter out." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Campfire (2004) |
"Wraps up rather abruptly and a little too neatly, but Campfire still roars effectively." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
El Cantante (2007) |
"El Cantante eventually succumbs to the typically broad biopic canvas. It hits nothing but highlights; and misses the singer's soul." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
A Canterbury Tale (1944) |
"It's oddly soothing and exciting to just bask in the film's images and listen to its stories and ideas." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cape Fear (1991) |
"The heart-warming story of a hardened convict returning to exact revenge on the lawyer who put him in jail." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"Another exceptional piece of propaganda, designed to get you riled up, but also to get you to laugh." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capote (2005) |
"Miller singles out the most important and life-changing event in Truman Capote's life and tells it with a furious focus." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Capricious Summer (1967) |
"The end result is not quite as engaging as Closely Watched Trains, but it certainly proves that Menzel was not a one-hit wonder." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Captain Blood (1935) |
"It's hard to underestimate its impact at the time, but it's still very effective to this day." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951) |
"Captain Horatio Hornblower showed the 64 year-old director Raoul Walsh still able to conjure up a rousing good action picture, even in color and with a largish budget." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Captain Pantoja and the Special Services (1999) |
"For a long time, the moive gets by on kooky, erotic charm." |

Careful (1992) |
"It's certainly an astounding film for its purely spectacular terms." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Carlito's Way (1993) |
"A lengthy cat-and-mouse chase scene at the film's climax practically surpasses Hitchcock and even gives Scorsese's GoodFellas a run for its money." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Carnival of Souls (1962) |
"The movie is a triumph of mood over character." |

Carrie (1976) |
"It's high time for the young generation of filmgoers to stop throwing their money [away] and see what a real horror movie is." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cars (2006) |
"Pixar's seventh feature film Cars arrives with more of a sputter than a zoom. It's a skid, if not entirely a blowout." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Cars That Ate Paris (1974) |
"Establishes many of the themes that he would revisit later in his career; it especially resembles The Truman Show in many ways." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Casablanca (1942) |
"When it all comes down to the end, I think I'd rather be curled up in front of Casablanca (1942) than just about anything else. It's like a warm blanket, a hot cup of tea, or a cuddly old dog." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Casanova (2005) |
"Like an 18th century Wedding Crashers." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Casino (1995) |
"Garish, rhythmic and intoxicating." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"Here's the biggest surprise of the year: the new Casino Royale is the best James Bond film since Goldfinger (1964)." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Casque D'or (1952) |
"Most movies would ramp up the adrenaline to show the suspense-oriented ending, but Becker would rather emphasize the feelings behind these events. He shows Marie's face for long, potent moments, and that's all the drama he needs." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"A surprisingly solid, expertly constructed crime drama." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Castle in the Sky (1986) |
"It shows the master still learning, still discovering his pacing." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Casualties of War (1989) |
"Fox is quite touching here, topped only by Sean Penn in a superb, frightening performance." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Cat People (1942) |
"As well as being scary, the film deals intelligently with sex and the psyche." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cat People (1982) |
"Underrated." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Cat Returns (2002) |
"The film has some of Miyazaki's exquisite timing, pacing and use of space." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Cat's Meow (2002) |
"Not only a reminder of how they used to make movies, but also how they sometimes still can be made." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Catch a Fire (2006) |
"It's a bit too neatly constructed, but Noyce's skills are sharp as ever." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"In spite of the material, Lewis really finds a natural rhythm to her character, almost as if she were in a separate movie. Too bad she isn't." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"Spielberg gives the movie the snappy, glitzy gusto of his early chase films, The Sugarland Express and 1941. It's refreshingly lacking in the heavy nobility he injected into The Color Purple and nearly every film since." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Catwoman (2004) |
"This hilarious, sexy, exciting farce is instead so consistently surprising and dazzling that I'm still not sure if it's a good-bad movie or a good-good movie." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
