Tomato 5/5 |
Babe (1995) |
"It's a great story -- tender without being sentimental, great for kids, engaging for adults, and with a four-legged protagonist who's as good and decent a hero as you could ask for in Hollywood." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
Backdraft (1991) |
"The three separate elements don't quite gel, but the overall experience is still a fine bit of moviemaking." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"It must have seemed like a home-run idea to remake the potty-mouthed '70s Little League classic, but the result is a lazy double." |

Batman (1989) |
"Tim Burton is a genius when it comes to set design and atmosphere, but he can't film an action sequence to save his life." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Batman & Robin (1997) |
"Warner Brothers owns the Batman character; you would think they would have a vested interest in doing a good job of the films, but the films themselves prove that they don't -- and this film provides the most numbing, sickening, inane proof of all." |

Be Cool (2005) |
"Lethargic Get Shorty sequel has a slow-poke script, sleepwalking leads and more thought put into the product placement than the plot." |
