Tomato 3.5/5 |
Baadasssss! (2004) |
"A funny and interesting look at independent filmmaking - no matter what color. It's hard to do the movie justice - it's plays much better than it sounds." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 3/5 |
Babel (2006) |
"This is one of those movies that would work better at home, where you could pause the tape when you need to take a break or fast forward when things start to slow down too much." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 3/5 |
Bad Company (2002) |
"Check your brain and your secret agent decoder ring at the door because you don't want to think too much about what's going on. The movie does has some entertainment value - how much depends on how well you like Chris Rock." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 4/5 |
Bad Education (2004) |
"Reading, Writing, Revenge - the 3 R's Ángel learned from his Bad Education!" |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 3/5 |
Bad News Bears (2005) |
"Billy Bob Thornton teaches kids about drinkin', cussin', and a little bit of baseball - not a classic, but still occasionally fun." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"Billy Bob is not just Bad Santa, he's really bad, despicably, horribly rotten Santa - and he's so good at it you can't help laughing." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"Given the title of this movie (and knowing how most country-western ballads turn out), you know things aren't going to end all peachy-keen for this father and daughter." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2/5 |
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"It's like going into a gunfight with a half-empty clip - it may seem okay in the beginning, but you aren't going to be happy with the results." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Ancient Chinese saying: tiny ball with no laugh, make bad movie." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005) |
"The three main characters make a fabulous threesome – they settle into a very comfortable arrangement even though you can feel the sexual tension just under the surface." |

Bang Rajan (2004) |
"A powerful and beautiful war movie with an amazing score - but very violent battle scenes. Still, it connects on an emotional level." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 3/5 |
The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"There are problems with this film that even 3 Oscar winners can't overcome, but it's a nice girl-buddy movie once it gets rock-n-rolling." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Bank (2002) |
"Chaos theory, fractal geometry, and computer programs named Betsy may not sound like the makings of a good thriller, but once this gets rolling, it builds the suspense right up until the big finale." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 3/5 |
Baran (2002) |
"A tale of unrequited love and a young woman's courage to make a place for herself in a man's world, but this is much more than just 'Yentl' goes to the Middle East." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"A bittersweet family story with a great deal of warmth and humor." |

Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) |
"Udderly ordinary." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 4/5 |
Bartleby (2002) |
"Quirky and understated office comedy with Crispin Glover as the guy who would prefer not to work, but likes to hang around." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 4/5 |
Basic (2003) |
"Basically, this thriller has one plot twist too many - the last is like a sucker punch from left field. Up until the final zinger, it's compelling, non-stop action and the performances are terrific." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2/5 |
Basic Instinct 2 (2006) |
"Ms. Stone's character is bad, but sexy. The movie wants to be sexy, but it's mostly just bad." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"This may be the best Batman (he certainly has the best costume and the best excuse for dressing like a bat)." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 1/5 |
Battle in Heaven (2006) |
"The only battle I had was deciding whether to watch the whole movie or get out while the getting was good. Unfortunately, I opted to stay to see if it got better... it didn't." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Battle of Algiers (1966) |
"A fascinating movie in its own right, more relevant because of today's world situation." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Battle of Shaker Heights (2003) |
"The story is original, the direction looks professional, and Shia LaBeouf really comes through - this is definitely his movie." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Baxter (2005) |
"It's a satisfying date movie that can only be improved upon with a gromwell plant (if you don't believe that's a real plant, you can read about it in the dictionary)." |

Be Cool (2005) |
"A laugh every five minutes or so is not cool... it's not worth the vig owed on a matinee ticket." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 3/5 |
Be Here to Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt (2005) |
"He may not have been a good guy, but fellow musicians tend to focus on his work and they can't say enough good things about his talent. They sing his praises and sing his songs." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Bear Cub (2004) |
"The movie has a good deal of warmth and humor and has a certain liveliness to it... not a perfect movie, but one that will touch the cuddly bear in each of us." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005) |
"It's a strange mix - classical music and classical gangster violence... Romain Duris does a bang-up job playing a very intense character with a soft side." |

The Beautiful Country (2005) |
"Beautiful movie about a young man's search for his past. Vietnam is indeed a beautiful country, but the way this movie is filmed, everywhere looks good." |

A Beautiful Mind (2001) |
"A beautiful mind, a beautiful heart - a beautiful movie." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |

The Beauty Academy of Kabul (2006) |
"Where there's makeup and hairspray, there's hope. The film draws on your sympathy, but it could play just as easily on PBS as it would on the big screen." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Beauty and the Beast (1946) |
"The restoration of this 1946 film is a beauty, but I'm just not sure this beast of a movie is worth the trouble." |

Beauty Shop (2005) |
"It has some very funny moments but it tries to do too many things - it's a bit like watching back-to-back episodes of a sitcom." |

"My mom said I should save my money and catch this on video later." |

Because of Winn-Dixie (2005) |
"The unconditional love of a great dog can work miracles in anyone's life. Kids will love the dog and forget all the parts that don't work for them." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |

Becoming Jane (2007) |

Splat 2.5/5 |
Bee Season (2005) |
"This is going to be a hard movie to sell because it is as disconnected from the audience as the characters are from each other. The best way to sum it up is S-T-R-A-N-G-E!" |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Beerfest (2006) |
"Like a bad batch of homebrew - all the ingredients are there for a fun comedy, but it's just a bit off." |
