B.O.H.I.C.A (2008) |
"B.O.H.I.C.A. makes the most of its single setting and small, well-chosen cast, but otherwise never gels into the stirring antiwar statement it clearly aspires to be." |
Gary Goldstein |
Tomato 5/5 |
Baadasssss! (2004) |
"For all its serious issues, Baadasssss! is terrific fun." |
Kevin Thomas |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009) |
"Even though its purpose couldn't be more serious, its style could hardly be more pulp. Which is probably fitting for a group that started out with high-minded goals and ended up robbing banks and blowing people away." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Bab'Aziz - The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul (2008) |
"With the collaboration of screenwriter Tonino Guerra, Khemir has created a fresh variation on the somewhat tired subgenre of the crisscross, in which the paths of strangers intersect and converge." |
Sheri Linden |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Babe (1995) |
"If only people would be more like these animals, the world, though hardly saner, would certainly be a lot more fun." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Babel (2006) |
"The film explores the ways in which cultural assumptions and biases tend to obscure reality even when reality is plain, and the way our perceived differences keep us from finding a human connection to one other." |
Carina Chocano |
Splat 2/5 |
Baby (2009) |
"An uneasy mix of bloodshed and sentimentality that rarely digs beneath the surface of gang mentality, much less its specific place within Asian American culture." |
Gary Goldstein |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Baby Boy (2001) |
"Like its characters, this picture is doing the best it can, and although that may not be everything, it ought to count for something." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"Baby Mama adheres fairly closely to the conventions of the studio comedy, although it's never actually predictable, probably because the characters and subject matter are so novel." |

Baby Mama (2008) |
"Tina Fey, Amy Poehler Talk Baby Mama" |
Paul Brownfield |
Splat 2/5 |
Babylon A.D. (2008) |
"Babylon feels like an almost random pastiche of good and bad. There may be a deadly virus, or genetic engineering, or a virgin birth, or some combination of all, it's not clear." |
Michael Ordoņa |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Babysitters (2008) |
"The film remains engaging in no small part because of the beguiling and enigmatic performance of [Katherine] Waterston, daughter of Law & Order star Sam Waterston." |
Mark Olsen |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Babysitters Club - The Movie (1995) |
"A beautiful film that possesses the power to enchant all ages." |
Kevin Thomas |
Splat 1/5 |
The Bachelor (1999) |
"O'Donnell and Zellweger are easy on the eyes, but we're asked to take it on faith that they have other qualities that would make a person care for them." |

Backyard (2003) |
"What is going on here? Most would say a lot of incredibly dangerous and stupid activity, and most of the people in this documentary not surprisingly seem none too bright." |

Bad Boys (1995) |
"Given how much good Bad Boys is going to do for Martin Lawrence's feature career, it's a pity the film couldn't do any more for itself." |
Kenneth Turan |
Splat 2/5 |
Bad Boys II (2003) |
"A mind-boggling, nerve-numbing, adrenaline-pumping combination of shock-and-awe brilliance and idiocy." |

Bad Education (2004) |

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"Bad Lieutenant: When Werner Met Nicolas" |
|
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"Cold-blooded reptiles are lurking everywhere in the slick new noir Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans, with snakes, iguanas, gators and especially Nicolas Cage at their slithering and cynical best." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"A straightforward, surprisingly faithful and definitely loving adaptation of the original." |
Carina Chocano |
Tomato 4/5 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"This is a superb stink bomb of an entertainment, generously larded with jokes about alcoholics, short people, dim children and the kind of sexual congress that until recently was illegal in nine states." |
Manohla Dargis |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Badland (2007) |
"Expertly constructed and beautifully photographed, Badland easily sustains its 160-minute running time, and the portrayals of Draven, a British actor, and 9-year-old Fulton can stand alongside the year's best." |
Kevin Thomas |
Splat 2/5 |
Baise Moi (2001) |
"It is not necessary to watch Baise Moi to understand the filmmakers' point." |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Ballad of Bering Strait (2002) |
"What makes the story worthwhile is the candor and personality of the band members." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"Combining an actor you can't take your eyes off with unapologetically emotional material makes The Ballad of Jack & Rose a model of artistic, provocative American filmmaking." |

Ballast (2008) |
"DIY Distribution Comes of Age" |
|
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Ballast (2008) |
"This austere, rigorous film has a sense of place, a feeling for reality so compelling it makes us feel like we're living it, not just watching on a screen." |
Kenneth Turan |
4/5 |
Ballerina (2008) |
"Ballerina is most memorable, not surprisingly, in capturing these women on the move, whether dancing in full costume on the Mariinsky stage or practicing endlessly in the theater's rehearsal rooms." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 5/5 |
Ballets Russes (2005) |
"The stories and people presented here are involving enough to enthrall anyone." |
Kenneth Turan |
Splat 2/5 |
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"Ballistic is a generic blur of metallic blue and fireball orange set to the contrapuntal sounds of throbbing techno and eardrum-puncturing noise." |
Manohla Dargis |
Splat 2/5 |
Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Goodness, gracious, there's no greatness in Balls of Fury, a lifeless pingpong comedy that ricochets from one flat gag to the next. The only novelty it can boast of is that it's a sports spoof without Will Ferrell." |
Kevin Crust |
Tomato 4/5 |
Balseros (2002) |
"Despite its unique Cuban elements, Balseros gets much of its power from the way it turns out to be a classic story of immigrants coming to a golden land and finding the streets paved with baser materials." |

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005) |
"The transformation of the Little Seamstress is ambiguous and bittersweet and leaves you with the feeling that, like a character out of Balzac, her story will be one of loss of innocence." |
Carina Chocano |

Bamako (2006) |
"Bamako is an attack on globalization that is endlessly cogent, confrontational -- and, best of all, as captivating as it is illuminating." |
Kevin Thomas |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Bamboozled (2000) |
"Savage, abrasive, audacious and confrontational, Bamboozled is the work of a master provocateur." |

Band of Outsiders (1964) |
"Shows [Godard] at his most amusing, and that is no small thing." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Band's Visit (2007) |
"The Israeli film that's become celebrated for what it lacks -- enough Hebrew to contend for the best foreign language Oscar -- can now be seen and appreciated for what it has in abundance: visual wit, verbal charm and a completely droll sense of humor." |
Kenneth Turan |

Bandit Queen (1994) |
