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.
Brotherhood of the Wolf
I didn’t know what to make of this. It seemed to want to be “every movie”, and thereby defy any convention. It was a mystery, a horror flick, a romance, a supernatural thriller, then the leads die, then they don’t die, then nothing’s supernatural, then it’s a political statement… I was dizzy by the end… which reminded me of the beginning of Tarzan for some reason.
Brother Bear
Yer typical Disney product – all the elements are there… well, except the platonic love interest. Unless of course we are to assume there was “something going on” between the two bears… or the two moose… wait a second, maybe there was more than meets the eye on this one. Well, it’s about time Disney came out of the closet!
Brewster’s Millions
I was never really a Richard Pryor fan… sure I feel bad that he has some terrible disease now, but that’s too bad. By the end of the movie, I was hoping that he didn’t get the zillions of dollars… sucker!!!
Breaking Away
One of the best coming-of-age movies ever made. This is a totally believable story. the only thing that didn’t make sense to me was Dave’s facial expression near the end of the movie – just before he’s taped to the bike. He looks defeated and pissed off, like he’s given up. They needed to have a “close-up-get-a-second-wind” scene.
The Breakfast Club
Hey! rich kids have problems too! they even smoke pot! This movie really “spoke to me” when I was 14 years old… now it’s just silly.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s
Innocence has lost its innocence.
Bread and Tulips
Imagine a world where love is more important than beauty… more important than most anything.
