THE CABLE GUY
Release: Jun 96 - Review: 10 Apr 04

Cable for Nothin' and your Guilt for Free.

...misunderstood by critics and panned by mongoloid fans who only wanted more Ace to sit on their face...
TOP
CAPOTE
Release: Sep 05 - Review: 2 Apr 07

Dark. Somber. Effective. Affective.

The film's darkness will seep into your own soul like dew into floorboards.
TOP
CAPRICORN ONE
Release: 1978 - Review: 4 Oct 05


Idiotic fodder for Moon Landing conspiracy theorist idiots.

Conspiracy Theorists must have thrown a week-long booze-up when this movie hit cinemas, cries of "We told you so!" reverberating off their Lonely-Guy hobbit-hole walls...
TOP
CASINO ROYALE
Release: Nov 06 - Review: 8 May 07

Old Spy, New World, Tight Arse.

International espionage will never be the same. It is now certifiably MAN-HOT.

TOP
CAST AWAY
Release: Dec 00 - Review: 20 Oct 05

A Breath Of Fresh Island Air.

For those who value their quietude and the removal from rat-racing it brings.
TOP
CATWOMAN
Release: Jul 04 - Review: 22 Nov 05


Pussy Galore.

Sensually clobbering bad guys and good guys alike, in her quest to beat out Debbie Diamond as the World's Biggest Whore...
TOP
CHANGELING
Release: Oct 08 - Review: 6 May 09

A Mother's Son, Undone.

CHANGELING is based on a true story, but I think it's fiction. I mean, come on - Angelina Jolie with only ONE child?
TOP
CHARIOTS OF FIRE
Release: Oct 81 - Review: 7 Nov 09

When the British were Kings.

... based loosely on two real life British runners in the 1924 Paris Olympics, who run for very different reasons - one against the reality of racism, one for the non-reality of religionism.
TOP
CHARLIE WILSON'S WAR
Release: Dec 07 - Review: 22 Nov 08

Owned By His Own War.

Before George H.W. Bush sold weapons to Saddam, before Ronald Reagan sold weapons to Iran, before George W. Bush lost 190,000 guns in Iraq - there was Tom Hanks, selling weapons to the Mujahideen.
TOP

CHARLIE'S ANGELS: FULL THROTTLE
Release: Jun 03 - Review: Dec 04

Too much style IS a bad thing.
Why are these puerile, cardboard doxies regarded as screen goddesses?; heroines for an arse-tattooed generation of over-fed, class-less, prepubescent, poorly-educated future streetwalkers?
TOP

CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN
Release: Dec 03 - Review: 7 Nov 05


Children Of The Damned.

When Ashton Kutcher is the funniest thing in your movie, it's time to re-assess everything you hold dear.
TOP
CHILDREN OF MEN
Release: Dec 06 - Review: 16 Feb 07

Brave New Future Shocker.

There is something in CHILDREN OF MEN to offend almost everyone - which is why it is so powerful. It fears no one.
TOP
CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS
Release: Nov 04 -25 Dec 09

Dreaming of a Fight Christmas.

CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS is about selfishness, viciousness, hypocrisy and homogeneity - you know, the true spirit of Christmas.
TOP

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE
Release: Dec 05 - Review: 15 Aug 09

The Lyin,' The Snitch and the Whored Road.

Four bloodless, pasty-white British kids on an adventure in a magical wardrobe.
TOP

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN
Release: May 08 - Review: 8 Feb 10

The Chronic Kills of Narnia: Prince Hasbeen.

...movie is nothing more than battle after battle, broken up by boring slow passages where people whine about Aslan the Lion (Liam Neeson) not being around.
TOP
CLOVERFIELD
Release: Jan 08 - Review: 16 Sep 08

BLAIR WITCH meets GODZILLA meets YouTube.

After all the mundanity of a monster knocking over buildings, they dial it down to the level of boring chick-rescue movie.
TOP
COME ON GET HAPPY: THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY STORY
Release: Nov 99 - Review: 7 Feb 09


The Trials of Talent, The Farce of Fame (oh, spare me!).

A travesty at best; at worst, some form of mild brain damage. If it is at all possible, acting is even worse than the actual Partridge Family.
TOP
CON AIR
Release: Jun 97 - Review: 26 Apr 08

Just Another Con.

...lots and lots and lots and lots of pretty orange explosions and guys diving in slow motion while shooting big guns...
TOP
CONSTANTINE
Release: Feb 05 - Review: 21 Apr 06

Inconstantine.

Directed by Music Video Director to the Sluts, Francis Lawrence (Britney, Janet, J-Lo), the roaring beauty of this movie is tempered by its dangerous stupidities.
TOP
CONTACT
Release: Jul 97 - Review: 31 Oct 05

Buried within The Message from Vega - The Message from Sagan.

Though it may never attain the lofty heights of commercialism that "Close Encounters" enjoyed, "Contact" is, in fact, a more intelligent vision of extra-terrestrial communication with our outer-spiral-arm planet.
TOP
CORALINE
Release: Feb 09 - Review: 14 Feb 09

Alice
in Wonderland meets Alice Cooper.
This movie scared the pants off me. Which in turn, scared young children and women with small hips, as I walked out of the theater, pantless.

TOP
THE CORE
Release: Mar 03 - Review: 14 Aug 05

Anthropocentric Spin.

Was the "science consultant" on this movie a G.E.D.? - and, more importantly, may I book some time to slap him?
TOP
CRANK
Release: Sep 06 - Review: 13 Sep 06

Crank-y.

Super stylish. Super amped. Super shallow.
TOP
THE CREEPING TERROR
Release: 1964 - Review: 18 Nov 05

Don't Fear The Creeper.

...would have remained in its Z-Movie graveyard were it not for the notoriety it achieved via its skewering on MST 3K.
TOP
CRIMINAL
Release: Oct 04 - Review: 21 Jul 08

Innocent Until Proven Guilty Pleasure.

Twists in con movies tend to come at you with a groan, whereas the twisty storyline in CRIMINAL comes at you via a night-stick to the back of the knees.
TOP
CROCODILE DUNDEE
Release: Sep 86 - Review: 20 May 06

From Barbecued Shrimps to New York Pimps and Boyfriend Wimps.

Though merely a modern, laconic retelling of the noble savage tale, the movie is refreshing enough in its simplicity and sincerity to garner itself a little shelf life in the Tarzan pantheon.
TOP
CROCODILE DUNDEE II
Release: May 88 - Review: 13 Aug 06

A Crock of Croc.

CROCODILE DUNDEE II takes all that was good about the original and, like most sequels, ignores it.
TOP
CROCODILE HUNTER: COLLISION COURSE
Release: Jul 02 - Review: 12 Aug 07

Madman Across the Water.

The plot is quite irrelevant, as it is Steve’s animal magnetism that propels the film.
TOP
THE CROSSING GUARD
Release: Nov 95 - Review: 6 Dec 09

Redemption: always in the last place you look.

What a brilliant little gem of a movie! An emotional wallop to the weeping nerve.
TOP

THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON
Release: Dec 08 - Review: 17 Aug 09

Youth is wasted on the Pitt.

... like FORREST GUMP for opposite-aging freaks.
