Unique premise – the world’s population is dieing-off… It can make you kind of hate people, as you realize that the unfolding of events probably isn’t too far off. It was a little overly-violent though. While I realize they wanted to show the rough edges, it didn’t really help the story… it was just too much and took the focus off the plot. They could have gone though the fighting quicker, and spent more time on the people and character development.

Cheaper by the Dozen
A bunch of spoiled brats shatter the dreams of their push-over father. This is billed as some kind of feel-good movie, but is just totally shameful and stupid. A big family like this would pull-together to help out their Dad! not sabotage his every move. What a bunch of pathetic spoiled brats. If you actually watched this, I feel sorry for you. If you actually liked this, I have no respect for you.
Charlie’s Angels
Well, I didn’t really see all of this movie… but I did see enough to know that it’s really really awful! There are a bunch of occassions where the girls seem to be thinking “what the hell am I doing?” just before delivering their absurdly dumb lines. Also, I find it really odd & ironic that these “great detectives” can’t even figure out who their boss is… is that supposed to be part of the joke?
Chariots of Fire
I should probably see this again, because I saw it when I was like 10 years old and it didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. The movie is probably best known for it’s theme than anything else. How many movies can say that about themselves?… duum chickachaka, do do do do doom doom…
Chain Reaction
Oh ya… I almost forgot about this movie. Hmmm. It was pretty good I guess. I wonder why it’s never on cable? It seems made for endless cable re-runs. Maybe it’ll happen someday.
The Cell
This movie was eye candy, and little else. The visuals were worth the price, and worth seeing… as for the rest of it? Ummmm…
Caveman
A serious anthropological study of a small band of primitive humans. Probably Ringo Starr’s finest work since the Beatles… He probably could’ve used a little help from his friends though.
The Castle
The Castle proves the aphorism that “ignorance is bliss”. What a fun movie! Anyone who is unsatisfied with their life should go see this movie in order to realize that it’s all just a state of mind – if you think things are good, they are – you just have to find the right perspective. The plot of the movie is about a regular well-meaning guy fighting big business… but the best part is the character development – you’ll never forget the Kerrigans… “Dad!, I dug another hole!”… “Good on ya, son!”
Cast Away
Any movie that can get people to cry over a volleyball can’t be too bad.
Casper
Dumb, but fun… I dunno, I was too old when this came out to enjoy it. Perhaps I should solicit a guest review? anyone?
Casino
In case you’re in the mood to see Joe Pesci do what he does best, there’s “Casino”. WARNING – there are scenes with foul language and violence.
Cape Fear
I had a hard time sympathizing with any of the characters in this movie, but it was entertaining. The only thing that bugged me were the couple “YOU IDIOT!!!” moments, like when the lawyer slips on the blood of his friend. Come on! Also, where exactly was the housboat “adrift” at the end? in the ocean? on a raging river? I couldn’t tell, but it just didn’t look natural.
Can’t Buy Me Love
Teen “make a nerd cool” movie that’s done well. Although the title should be called “CAN buy me love”, because that’s essentially what happens.
The Cannonball Run
Craziness. There’s enough stuff going on in this movie that you’re bound to be entertained by something… even if it’s only for 5 seconds. As for the other ~2 hours??? spend it doing something else.
Calendar Girls
So, can reality be cliche?
Caddyshack II
Man this was so bad, it made me angry. Why the hell did I waste 2 hours of my life watching it?
Caddyshack
The definitive golf-humor movie. In the dictionary, under “funny”, there should be a reference to Caddyshack.
The Cable Guy
I almost liked this movie. That’s quite an endorsement considering that Jim Carrey bugs the hell out of me. I guess he was made for this movie though – they needed a really annoying person to portray the cable guy.
Cabin Boy
Chris Elliot did one of the funniest TV shows ever – “Get a Life”. It was about a 30-something guy who still lived with his parents and delivered the newspaper. It was a great study of a pathetic loser. Cabin Boy was kind of dumb, but I guess Chris Elliot deserved to star in at least one movie.
C.H.U.D.
I just discovered that they made a “CHUD II”, I gotta find that! Apparently it’s really really bad. CHUD 1 was pretty stupid too, but there was something appealing about this movie… I just can’t remember what it was. Hey, Kim Greist was in it… she was in Brazil, one of my favorite movies.
Bulworth
I liked a lot about this movie… I just wish it knew when to quit – the rapping got totally excessive, and the Halle Berry romance thing was a bit much. Some of the PC political message annoyed me too, but I liked the idea and I liked the ending. Some scenes were really well done.
A Bug’s Life
See Antz.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The pure embodiment of adolescent male fantasy… what could be wrong with that?
Buckaroo Bonzai
Every once in a while, a movie comes along that sets a new standard. No words or descriptions or praise or repeated viewings can really do justice to this. Who hasn’t wanted to be Buckaroo Banzai?
Bruce Almighty
Jim Carey does battle with his own massive ego… and loses.
