Baadasssss! (2004) |
"The funny and original 'Baadasssss!' is a boiling pot of politics, filmmaking and self-discovery." |
Diana Saenger |
Tomato 8/10 |
Babel (2006) |
"At the simplest level, the movie is several dramas told effectively, and processing the emotions in its most dramatic moments may be the best reward in watching it." |
Jeffrey Chen |

Baby Mama (2008) |
"'Baby Mama' rehashes material tossed around from movie to movie before it, breaking no new ground in a comedic sense nor in a thematic one." |

Babylon A.D. (2008) |
"'Babylon A.D.' is too vague for its own good and too conflicted concerning what it wants to be." |

The Back of the World (2002) |
"Without preaching, pretension or ingenuousness, this documentary depicts the very real darkness of lives beyond nightly TV News or self-congratulatory Special Projects." |
Donald J. Levit |
Splat |
Bad Blood (2006) |
"There are times when 'Bad Blood' seems to be existing in its own strange little world, randomly throwing in snippets of scenes which make no sense." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat 2/4 |
Bad Boys II (2003) |
"...amounts to about 150 minutes of nonstop violence, profanity-laced banter, and total lack of respect for public property..." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Bad Company (2002) |
"Chris Rock stoops to a feet-don't-fail-me-now acting level reminiscent of stereotypical African-American portrayals in films of the 30s and 40s." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Bad Education (2004) |
"The film's outlandishly involuted story fuses melodrama, romanticism and noir." |
Donald J. Levit |

Bad Education (2004) |

Bad Guy (2001) |
"Will leave audiences puzzled and then cold." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"If you think juvenile misfits yelling potty-mouth comments every time they speak is funny, then put 'Bad News Bears' on your must-see list." |

Splat |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"At the end of 'Bad Santa,' redemption comes for its foul-mouthed main character -- but not for the movie itself." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
The Bad Sleep Well (1960) |
"Akira Kurosawa does a great job of taking a simple story and weaving it into a most absorbing human tragedy." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"Faint clues and indirections fly all over the film and, although perhaps unintentional, cry for clarification which never comes." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Ballet Shoes (2008) |
"While watching 'Ballet Shoes,' I felt like a time machine had transported me to London in the 1930s, then set me in the midst of this wonderful humanistic story." |
Betty Jo Tucker |

Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Despite its potential and the ingenious casting of Walken, 'Balls of Fury' is a disappointing comedy with a serious lack of...well, you know..." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat 5/10 |
Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Has its moments, but a little too often the comedy runs into this problem of starting with the punchline and then chewing it until it runs out of flavor." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato |
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005) |
"Gracefully captures the purity of innocence in the midst of no-matter-what." |

Splat |
Bandidas (2006) |
"A a little effort to make 'Bandidas' more than a petticoat retread of 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' would've been nice." |

Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
"An exhaustingly mediocre remake that suffers from a nasty case of dullness and inactivity." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
" Predictable as a snowstorm in December -- but visually exciting. Plus Charlie Yeung fills the screen with charm and grace." |

Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
"While production values in 'Bangkok Dangerous' are competent, there are no technical fireworks to compensate for the story's dearth of energy and originality." |

The Bank (2002) |
"A finely done, enjoyable stock market mystery." |

Tomato |
The Bank Job (2008) |

Baran (2002) |
"The universal theme of becoming a better person through love has never been filmed more irresistibly than in 'Baran.'" |

Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) |
"Taken as a pair, the 'Barbershop' movies are an exuberant lesson in how comedy is a better format for penetrating social commentary than drama." |
John P. McCarthy |
Splat |
Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) |
"A paint-by-numbers endeavor that will keep its target audience occupied but doesn't accomplish much else." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Basic (2003) |
"With its twists and turns almost spinning out of control, 'Basic' kept me guessing about whodunit until the very last second." |

Basic Instinct 2 (2006) |
"The rest of the film may be murky and dull, but physically, it's hard to take your eyes off Stone. She's absolutely stunning.

Batman - Gotham Knight (2008) |
"'Batman:Gotham Knight' delivers a take on Batman you've never quite seen before, doing the character thematic justice while staking a stylish claim all its own." |

Battle in Heaven (2006) |

Battle in Heaven (2006) |
"A riveting work for anyone interested in how filmmaking devices can be used to make the whole greater than the sum of its individual parts.

Battle of Algiers (1966) |
"'The Battle of Algiers' serves potent warning to those who envision warfare, or any Western-dictated settlement, in areas so hungry and so foreign." |

Battleship Potemkin (1925) |
"Packs so much eye-and-heart power that its abrupt ending seems to come hard on the opening rather than an hour-and-a-third later." |

Be Cool (2005) |
"Just as there's nothing lamer than people who think they're cool, watching a movie that thinks it's cool is tedious." |

The Beach (2000) |
"By attempting to combine elements of mystery, adventure, action and romance, 'The Beach' becomes too jumbled to follow with much interest." |

A Beautiful Mind (2001) |
"As John Nash, Russell Crowe projects the 'warts-and-all' persona of a genius trying to conquer mental illness. But I can't help reacting negatively to most biopics. I never know what's real and what's made-up -- kinda like Nash himself." |
