Bad Company (2002) |
"The funniest thing about Bad Company is that Hopkins actually
agreed to star in it." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |
Bandits (2001) |
"As the eponymous bandits, tough-guy Willis, with his usual array of slanted smirks and horrendous hairpieces, is easily outshone by the versatile Thornton." |
Tom Grealis |
Splat 1/5 |
The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"Three Oscar winners and roughly the same amount of decent lines between them." |
Harry Guerin |
Splat 2/5 |
Bangkok Dangerous (2001) |
"The poorly worked plot and lack of decent dialogue makes you wonder if the title Bangkok Monotonous isn't more appropriate." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"Batman Begins isn't a case of DC setting a new level for comics onscreen, but rather a memorable example of how to keep up with the competition." |
Harry Guerin |
Splat 2/5 |
Battle Royale (2000) |
"'Battle Royale' is another deeply flawed addition to the deeply offensive phenomenon of 'reality TV'." |
Tom Grealis |
Splat 1/5 |
Beautiful Creatures (2001) |
"More Tom and Jerry than Thelma and Louise." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |
A Beautiful Mind (2001) |
"'As straightforward fiction, this is solid feelgood fare, but the fact that it's based on a real person, real success and failure opens it up to far greater scrutiny.'" |
Harry Guerin |
Splat 2/5 |
Behind Enemy Lines (2001) |
"Plays more like a recruitment video for the US military than any serious examination of conflict." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Believer (2002) |
"An uncomfortable experience, but one as brave and challenging as you could possibly expect these days from American cinema." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |
Bend It Like Beckham (2003) |
"It never tries too hard to please, never deigns for obvious laughs and it always manages to keep sight of what it wants to do and how it wants to do it." |
Tom Grealis |
Tomato 4/5 |
Best in Show (2000) |
"Guest shot nearly 60 hours of footage for Best In Show and the results are so good that they'll leave you starving for the scraps from the cutting room floor." |
Harry Guerin |
Splat 2/5 |
Big Fat Liar (2002) |
"Looks like a so-so TV movie that kept getting zeros put on its budget without the gags being added in equal measure." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 4/5 |
Big Fish (2003) |
"A film that will grow and grow by word of mouth, long after many of today's hits and important films are forgotten." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |
Blackboards (2002) |
"People cinema at its finest." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 4/5 |
Blade 2 (2002) |
"With a confidence that would verge on the arrogant if they hadn't got the smarts to back it up, del Toro and Snipes have shamed the competition with their flair, set pieces and badass wit." |
Harry Guerin |
Splat 1/5 |
Blood Work (2002) |
"Eastwood should spend the next five years gargling to get rid of the taste." |
Harry Guerin |
Splat 2/5 |
Blue Crush (2002) |
"The target audience should go home wanting a surfboard for Christmas." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |
Bon Voyage (2004) |
"If blockbusters leave you cold, then this is one trip well worth taking." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |

"A gentle and engrossing character study." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Bourne Identity (2002) |
"It's a really safe bet that Damon will be Bourne again." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) |

Harry Guerin |
Tomato 4/5 |
Bridget Jones' Diary (2001) |
"A bad love life, and even worse underwear, has never looked so good." |
Harry Guerin |

Bright Young Things (2004) |
"...a decent effort. But far too clinical and soulless to be a memorable one." |
Tom Grealis |
Tomato 3/5 |
Brother (2001) |
"If the yardstick for mob flicks is 'Goodfellas' (and it should be), then 'Brother' doesn't stand a chance. On its own, however, it is a stylish, colourful film." |
Tom Grealis |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Brotherhood of the Wolf (2002) |
"Guaranteed to make you howl at the moon on your way out." |
Harry Guerin |
Tomato 3/5 |
Bully (2001) |
"'Bully' demands attention for the way in which it forces us to watch and digest a dark slice of American society. American beauty this ain't." |

Bus 174 (2003) |
"reminds audiences that simple techniques are sometimes the most effective means of telling a dramatic story" |
Tom Grealis |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Business of Strangers (2001) |
"'The Business of Strangers' partners one of Hollywood's most under-rated older actresses with arguably one of its most over-rated younger ones." |
Tom Grealis |
Splat |
The Butterfly Effect (2004) |
"If you want plot twists and mind-bending, just stick to 'The Usual Suspects' and 'Memento'" |
