[movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Caché (2005)      "Crisply shot and performed with raw intensity." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      Cadillac Records (2008)      "Energetic performances and a strong true story lift this rather simplistic movie into something watchable" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2.5/5      Cafe Lumiere (2004)      "[This Ozu homage] is revealing and enlightening, but unlike Ozu's work, this is also somewhat dull and uninvolving." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/5      The Caiman (2006)      "A fascinating film about moviemaking and government corruption, but it requires a fairly thorough understanding of Italian politics." [movie review]      Film Threat       2.5/5      The Calcium Kid (2004)      "It never lives up to the promise, due to a lack of directorial focus that lets everything slip out of control. But it's pretty good fun while it lasts." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4.5/5      Calendar Girls (2003)      "Beware: This warm and very funny film, based on a true story, is almost criminally crowd-pleasing!" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Camp (2003)      "This is the kind of film you can watch over and over again on several levels, especially as you mine the script for knowing jokes about the theatre (it's packed with them)." [movie review]      Film Threat       4/5      Camp (2003)      "Graff's writing and direction deftly balance the wacky humour and one-line zingers with the more powerful poignant moments." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       --      Candy (1968)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Candy (2006)      "Harrowing and strongly moving, this junkie drama beautifully explores the emotional core of its characters. It helps, of course, that the cast is this good." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Capote (2005)      "Hoffman finally gets the leading role he deserves, and he nails it perfectly." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4.5/5      Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001)      "Obviously, the novel's sprawling, multi-strand structure has been streamlined here, but Madden and screenwriter Slovo have included so much subtext that it's still a remarkably complex film." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       1.5/5      Captivity (2007)      "Polished and atmospheric, but utterly vacuous." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Capturing the Friedmans (2003)      "Full of bracingly honest self-examination, raw humour and a fascinating vein of hysteria and emotion, but its real power is in the intimate examination of family ties." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Cargo 200 (2008)      "Balabanov (Brother) writes and directs with an almost unnervingly naturalistic style, loading each scene with pitch-black humour" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/5      Carnage (2003)      "Feels indulgent, far too long and, yes, very French ... but while it lasts you can't take your eyes off the screen!" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       --      The Carriers Are Waiting (1999)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Cars (2006)      "The animation is jaw-droppingly gorgeous, and the characters are wonderful. But it's kind of odd, really." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Casa de los Babys (2003)      "Astute character studies are the point here, rather than a neat and tidy story." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      Casanova (2005)      "Sloppy and corny, and rather enjoyable if you like this kind of thing." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      Cashback (2007)      "A little too mopey and sexist for its own good. But the cast is engaging enough to keep us interested" [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Casino Royale (2006)      "A smartly written, tautly acted dramatic thriller, but it's so long that it feels like we've watched an entire trilogy." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      Cass (2008)      "The film's repetitive structure never quite resolves into something we can properly engage with, especially when a somewhat heavy-handed message rears its head." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/5      Cassandra's Dream (2008)      "The film stumbles in its convenient, obvious plot turns, even if much of this is meaningfully thought-provoking." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall            Cast Away (2000)      "The script is insightful and unafraid to tackle very serious issues head on. And the performances are brilliant." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      The Cat Returns (2002)      "It's thoroughly engaging, especially as it begins to twist and turn into a kind of warped Alice in Wonderland." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/5      Catch a Fire (2006)      "A true story from apartheid-era South Africa, this moving and inspiring story has a heavy contemporary resonance." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4.5/5      Catch Me If You Can (2002)      "With its extended epilogue, the film feels about a half-hour too long, but the story is so good and there are so many fabulous set pieces that you can't imagine leaving anything out."

[movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2.5/5      Catwoman (2004)      "Gratuitous action, ill-defined characters, goofy plot. And moments when it's great fun." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2/5      Cautiva (2005)      "Sporadically artful yet stupefyingly dull -- there are some segments that are so beautiful and monotonous that they very nearly hypnotise us...into a coma." [movie review]      Film Threat       --      Cecil B. Demented (2000)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       2/5      The Cell (2000)      "All the clever visual effects in the world can't hide the fact that this is just a nasty piece about women in torment." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/5      Cellular (2004)      "This unapologetic B-movie works simply because it has no pretensions at all." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       --      The Center of the World (2001)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       --      Center Stage (2000)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3/5      Changeling (2008)      "A powerful true story makes this film worth seeing ... but Eastwood chooses to tell this as an over-produced, over-wrought melodrama."

[movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       92/100      Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)      "Quite simply one of the best children's films in ages." [movie review]      FilmFocus       5/5      Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)      "Yes, it's pretty hilarious, but it's also delightfully deranged in all the best ways." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4.5/5      Charlie Bartlett (2007)      "Cast and crew maintain an engagingly snarky tone throughout the film, with raucous dialog and a gleeful willingness to crush teen movie stereotypes." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Charlie Wilson's War (2007)      "All of the actors clearly relish the film's fast and busy pace, smart dialog and vivid characterisations." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/5      Charlie's Angels (2000)      "In the end it's simply empty-headed fun, nothing more." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003)      "Just as much fun as the first one." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       --      Charlotte Gray (2001)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       3.5/4      Charlotte's Web (2006)      "The writers and director get the balance right, never tipping over into either sentiment or preachiness." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4.5/5      The Chaser (2009)      "This is expert filmmaking at every level, continually adding engaging subtext that touches on family pressures, blind self-interest and warped justice." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Che (2008)      "The film is a series of skirmishes, betrayals, confrontations and dislocations that Soderbergh directs with a matter-of-fact understatement and real cinematographic artistry. Even major action scenes feel eerily authentic, never like a big movie." [movie review]      Shadows on the Wall       4/5      Che, Part One (2008)      "This film has a striking structure and powerful performances that bring the story to life and add provocative modern-day parallels."
