B.A.P.S. (1997) |
"Robert Townsend's career continues its ongoing descent with this ludicrously awful culture-clash comedy." |
Marc Savlov |
Tomato 4/5 |
Baadasssss! (2004) |
"Seethes with well-targeted humor that mixes comfortably with its simmering energy and anger." |
Marjorie Baumgarten |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009) |
"Edel uses documentary tropes to realize his overarching narrative, and the end result is an electrifying, morally complex story of the evil that men (and women) do in the name of the greater good." |
Marc Savlov |
Splat 1/5 |
Bab'Aziz - The Prince Who Contemplated His Soul (2008) |
"[It] proves that, even in our troubled times, East and West can still come together, when necessary, to produce something completely and utterly confusing." |
Josh Rosenblatt |

Babe (1995) |
"Babe provides a stunning revisionist take on barnyard politics, and may change the whole way we view pigs politically." |
Jay Hardwig |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Babe (1995) |
"It's a clever, witty, touching piece of work that, coincidentally enough, is also a decidedly excellent date movie. Really." |

Babel (2006) |
"It's a masterful film, the kind you itch to see twice or more, as elliptical as a dream and as direct as the short sharp shock of lead kissing flesh." |

Baby Geniuses (1999) |
"Baby Geniuses is the best argument for stronger child labor laws since the Olsen twins." |
Steve Davis |
Splat 2/5 |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"Just like it is in the world of SNL, the choice gets made time and again to aim not for the high road but for the great, big, fat, juicy, unchallenging, uncontroversial middle ground, where everybody’s laughing but nothing is all that funny." |
Josh Rosenblatt |

Babylon A.D. (2008) |
"I call it (sneeringly, natch) the 'New Nihilism,' but, to be fair, it's really just the old, Franco-Prussian existential angst hole ratcheted up and dumbed down for our not so brave new world." |
Marc Savlov |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Babysitters Club - The Movie (1995) |
"The Baby-Sitters Club has a youthful buoyancy and whimsical rhythm that catches even the most jaundiced (i.e., 16-year-old) viewers up in its play of light and energy." |

Back to the Future (1985) |
"One of the most beloved movies of the Eighties." |
Marjorie Baumgarten |
Tomato 3/5 |
Backbeat (1994) |
"Historically, we might quibble with the overall sound quality and the fact that the Beatles surely never played their instruments quite this efficiently in 1960 but, once again, what the music captures is its overwhelming appeal." |
Marjorie Baumgarten |
Splat 2/5 |
Backdraft (1991) |
"The film exploits Chicago's terrain of ethnic neighborhoods, political turf, and glorious modern architecture, but it has trouble when it comes in close to the personal level." |
Kathleen Maher |
Splat 2/4 |
Backseat (2008) |
"Alexander's script considers context anathema, leaving us to wonder, among other puzzlers, why these two jerks are friends to begin with – and, perhaps, on what bad breakup or neglected childhood one may blame the film's dispiriting misanthropy." |

Bad Boys (1995) |
"Plays less like the gritty action-comedy picture it aspires to be and more like a disingenuous 126 minutes of slick Hollywood inanities, a cobbled-together series of flashy explosions and none-too-witty banter." |
Marc Savlov |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"That Linklater manages to make his remake as affecting as it is -- and there are moments of pure goofball zaniness scattered throughout -- is only surprising to those who haven’t been following his sublimely wild-carding career." |
Marc Savlov |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"And into this season of sugarplums and stockings, glad tidings and goodwill toward men, comes Bad Santa. And the first words out of the mouth of Santa Claus? 'Hey, can I get another drink down here?'" |

Ballets Russes (2005) |
"Deftly mixing talking-head interviews, archival footage, and sly musical cues, Ballets Russes impressively catalogues 30 years of the companies’ triumphs and failures, and does so in a way that a dance neophyte can easily absorb ..." |
