Tomato 4/5 |
The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009) |
"A fiery action film with lots more on its mind." |

Tomato |
Babel (2006) |
"At the end, it doesn't really pull together into a seamless vision, but it's filled with sights and scenes that are uniquely absorbing." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"Fey, in full, gorgeous fluster, and Poehler, a master of comic delirium, are nicely paired; and the script, by writer-director Michael McCullers (who toiled on the Austin Powers movies), gives them a sizable number of killer lines to work with." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1/5 |
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"Do fish have dreams? Do they dream of ominous iguanas, perhaps? Or maybe the disembodied breakdancing souls of freshly capped gangsters? More to the point, will Nicolas Cage ever make another movie that makes sense?" |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Could a movie that mixes table tennis, spies and kung-fu action star anyone else but Christopher Walken? Probably not." |
Kurt Loder |

Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
"What Cage -- such a fine actor when the mood's upon him -- is doing wasting his time in listless junk like this is anybody's guess." |

Barbarella (1968) |
"Rose McGowan Refutes Those Nasty Barbarella Rumors" |

Tomato 3/4 |
Basic Instinct 2 (2006) |
"This movie rocks ... by boldly embracing the preposterousness at the
core of its story right away, and then moving on to more important
things like ultra-nasty sex [and] hyper-lurid dialogue." |
Kurt Loder |

Batman (1989) |
"Willem Dafoe Recalls His Brush with Batman" |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"[T]his is the movie that loyal and long-suffering Batfans have been waiting for … it's artful and fun … 'Batman Begins' really is a new beginning." |

Be Cool (2005) |
"The only really interesting thing about this boneheaded film version of Elmore Leonard's [novel] is how flagrantly it trashes the
book, and its ... flamboyant incoherence." |

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) |
"...as Andy and Hank stumble into the jaws of an unforgiving fate, we realize we've been in the hands of a master director who's never really gotten his due." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3/5 |
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2007) |
"Unfortunately, we've seen this jolly inventory of slasher-flick clichés before, in other parodies dating back to "Scream." And with not much new to contribute, "Behind the Mask" starts running out of narrative momentum about two-thirds of the way through." |
Kurt Loder |

The Benchwarmers (2006) |
"'Ice Age' Beats 'Benchwarmers' To Hold Box-Office #1 and Clear $100 Million" |
Larry Carroll |
Tomato |
Beowulf (2007) |
"As off-putting as the half-artificial characters are, and as slow as the movie is in parts, the images still have what seems to be endless depth and detail, which gives the action scenes an unprecedented, gut-whomping power." |

Beyond a Reasonable Doubt (2009) |
"An undercooked crime flick whose real mystery is why it was made." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
Big Fan (2009) |
"Siegel's shots are dirty, his dialogue sharp, and his knack for avoiding cliches is rare; Oswalt's performance is a selfless, measured descent into madness that deserves some sort of award" |
Larry Carroll |
Tomato 7/10 |
Big Man Japan (2009) |
"This is Matsumoto's first feature (he's a famously odd Japanese comedian), but it's a distinctively bizarre piece of work. Remember the name." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Black Book (2007) |
"Verhoeven, with his background in such lurid American entertainments as "Basic Instinct" and "Showgirls," seems an unlikely duck to be paddling around in this somber pond. I can believe that the 68-year-old director has a personal connection to the materi" |

The Black Dahlia (2006) |
"Despite the juicy tabloid material and the filmmaking talent involved, "The Black Dahlia" is a bloated and oddly listless production." |

Black Dynamite (2009) |
"Can Black Dynamite fend off the Man and the mob and the phalanx of wah-wah guitars arrayed against him and fight his way to the Honky House to mete out kung-fu justice? Most likely!" |

Splat 3/5 |
Black Sheep (2007) |
"The picture is a vibrant advertisement for the scenic glories of New Zealand (it was shot by Richard Bluck, who did second-unit work on the "Lord of the Rings" films), but it's not really scary -- and it's not that funny." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 4/5 |
Blades of Glory (2007) |
"Heder, with his snappy reactions and his bride-of-Elton-John skating ensembles, is funny beyond the call of a second banana. And Ferrell, with his little piggy eyes and his bursts of unfounded braggadocio, is frequently hilarious. We've seen him do this s" |

Splat 2/5 |
Blood and Chocolate (2007) |
"All of these defects, which aren't unusual in movies of modest budget, could be forgiven if Blood and Chocolate were actually scary. But it isn't; not even a little bit. Werewolf devotees, however, may nevertheless feel that it bites." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3/5 |
Blood Diamond (2006) |
"The picture's considerable political illumination glimmers through a story told in colorful locales (it was shot for the most part in South Africa and Mozambique) with lots of bang-boom-crash action." |

Bottle Shock (2008) |
"Miller assembled a top-flight cast for his film: Alan Rickman plays Spurrier; Bill Pullman is Jim Barrett; and Dennis Farina portrays a flashy American wine buff named Maurice. These fine actors are shockingly misdirected." |
