Splat

B.O.H.I.C.A (2008)

"Director D.J. Paul and screenwriter Joseph "Bo" Colen don't bring much new to the notion of boredom being the toughest part of war."

Andy Klein

Splat

Babel (2006)

"...all his films feel overly "directed" in the worst sense of the word: the jumbled chronology...and the plotting feel arbitrary: Bad things don't merely happen to his characters; González Iñárritu inflicts these catastrophes on them."

Andy Klein

Splat

Bad Guy (2001)

"So vilely misogynistic does the film appear at first glance that it’s no surprise it hasn’t been previously released here..."

Andy Klein

Tomato
4/5

Bad Manners (1998)

Ball of Fire (1941)

Andy Klein

Splat

Balls of Fury (2007)

"... the film is almost worth seeing for one reason: Walken, who, at this point in his career, just lights up everything he's in, no matter how lame."

Andy Klein

Tomato
5/5

Bananas (1971)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato

The Bank Job (2008)

"There may not be much to take home from The Bank Job, but it's a solid evening's entertainment, which is not so common these days."

Andy Klein

Splat

Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

"In pretty short order, the entire film goes off course and sinks, taking its lead actress with it."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Batman Begins (2005)

"[The two-disc set is] (almost) everything you could ask for."

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Battle Creek Brawl (1980)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

Battle in Heaven (2006)

"...a tawdry march through the lives of a bunch of slow-witted, thyroid-impaired moral imbeciles."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Battlefield Baseball (2003)

"...very funny … but it wears out its welcome ..."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Be Cool (2005)

"It’s a big mess, but it’s a fun mess."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Be Here to Love Me: A Film About Townes Van Zandt (2005)

"...required viewing for Van Zandt fans, probably required for country music fans, and even of interest to those with no great affection for either."

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Beach Blanket Bingo (1965)

Beaches (1988)

The Beast With Five Fingers (1946)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato

The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005)

"Audiard has, through a few plot changes and even more differences in tone and performance, surprisingly made a silk purse out of Toback’s sow’s ear."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Beautiful Boxer (2005)

"At almost two hours, the film might have benefited from some tightening, but that’s a minor complaint."

Andy Klein

Tomato
5/5

Beauty and the Beast (1946)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato
4/5

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

Because I Said So (2007)

"It's inadequate to say that this film stars Keaton; more accurately, it has befallen her, and it's hard to imagine what she did in a previous life to amass such a huge (presumably now resolved) karmic debt."

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Before Sunrise (1995)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)

"... some first-rate surprises and a bundle of good performances."

Andy Klein

Splat

Before the Rains (2008)

"The first third is frankly plodding, though the story begins to engage us by the midpoint. While there is nothing wrong with Roache's or Das's work, Bose's performance gives it whatever power it has."

Andy Klein

Tomato
4/5

Begotten (1991)

Benji Off the Leash (2004)

"...almost impossible to resist. "

Benji the Hunted (1987)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Tomato

Beowulf (2007)

"The 3-D effects are relatively tasteful, and the visuals often stunning."

Andy Klein

Splat

Beowulf & Grendel (2005)

"...realistic, [but] Polley...is woefully miscast."

Andy Klein

Splat

Berkeley (2007)

"The whole thing does have an air of verisimilitude, but it's also just a little too blandly generic."

Andy Klein

Tomato
3/5

Betty Blue (1986)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

Bewitched (2005)

"...simply off in [its] pacing and inadequately funny."

Andy Klein

The Black Cauldron (1985)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

The Black Dahlia (2006)

"...sits on the screen, mysteriously inert and uninvolving....despite De Palma's always-reliable technical skills.... It may well be his worst film since the execrable Wise Guys."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Black Gold (2006)

"... there is an additional irony to the title: The raw beans are not themselves black, but the growers are."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Black Sheep (2007)

"For his first feature, the director has started with a simple joke -- the incongruity of sheep being threatening -- and embellished it wittily enough to keep us chuckling throughout."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Black Snake Moan (2007)

"The disturbing aspect of the film's sexuality provides exactly the frisson that the style never conveys."

Andy Klein

Tomato
5/5

Blade Runner (1982)

No article available.

Andy Klein

Splat

Blades of Glory (2007)

" ... pales next to its predecessors. While there are some laughs here -- the best of which sound like Ferrell improvisations -- there are nowhere near enough to sustain a feature."

Andy Klein

Tomato

Blind Mountain (2008)

"Writer-director Li Yang’s powerful rural drama is both a heartbreaking human tragedy and a ferocious meditation on the horrors of peasant life in China’s heartland."

Paul Birchall

Tomato

Blood and Chocolate (2007)

"Despite a few shock cuts and some decently staged shootouts, Blood and Chocolate is rarely thrilling and never scary ... and it seems to have been designed that way. If anything, it's a romance masquerading as a horror film."

Andy Klein
