B.A.P.S. (1997) |
"Left with nothing to do but vamp, Berry, Desselle and even the veteran Landau have little choice but to overact, trying to create explosions where there is no dynamite." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Baadasssss! (2004) |
"If you're among the many who enjoy the fruits of today's African-American cinema, you owe it to yourself to see how the seeds were sown." |

Babe: Pig in the City (1998) |
"Sequel isn't quite hog heaven, but it's meaty enough." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 10/10 |
Babel (2006) |
"Babel expresses a great yearning for an understanding that straddles all our borders. It's among the best films of the year." |

Baby Boy (2001) |
"Though it's a daring and commendable message, Singleton has trouble focusing it." |

The Bachelor (1999) |
"The film's one-joke premise eventually wears out its welcome." |

Bad Boys II (2003) |

Bad Company (2002) |
"Let's call it The Subtraction of All Fears." |

Tomato 9/10 |
Bad Education (2004) |
"A challenging, highly subjective and personally affecting work that invites your own free-spirited interpretation." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"A raunchy romp for adults who enjoy a hint of perversion, especially if they're ready for the cotton-candy sweetness of Christmas to be spiked with 100-proof bourbon." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 6/10 |
Bait (2000) |
"The formula is certainly typical for an urban action flick, but Foxx freshens it with his humorous, ultimately ingratiating portrayal." |
Jack Garner |

The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"The always-superb Day-Lewis and bright newcomer Belle almost redeem this pretentious, improbable scenario. But almost isn't enough." |

Bandits (2001) |
"A loopy, likable but long crime comedy whose plot and rich characters conjure the merry mood of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 6/10 |
The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"A modestly entertaining, sly but superficial comedy." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 9/10 |
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"The performances are first-rate, especially from Girard. Arcand's direction is heartfelt and artful." |

Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) |
"Easily the first film's equal, if not an improvement." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) |
"Among the summer's 'toons, Monster House remains the most visually exciting and sophisticated, but Barnyard is much funnier." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 2/10 |
Basic Instinct 2 (2006) |
"Stone is at it again in Basic Instinct 2, directed this time by Michael Caton-Jones. It's a considerably less successful film, being sold on the tasteless hope that maybe Stone will flash filmgoers once again." |

Batman & Robin (1997) |
"Batman & Robin is too much. Literally." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"Batman -- the grittiest and most intriguing of all classic comic book heroes -- has found new and improved life in the latest film version, Batman Begins, with Christian Bale as the best Dark Knight yet." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 3/10 |
Bats (1999) |
"We've been there, and we've done that. The only difference in this film from director Louis Morneau is that our heroes end up chest-deep in a river of bat droppings." |

Battle of Algiers (1966) |
"A restored print of the landmark film has been re-released, and the superbly crafted, often-unnerving film is well worth your attention." |
Jack Garner |

Battlefield Earth (2000) |
"Now that it's finally on the screen, we discover that the science-fiction epic Travolta considered a Holy Grail is silly junk." |

Be Cool (2005) |
"This lazy, loosey-goosey sequel entertains, almost in spite of itself." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Beach (2000) |
"Boyle manages to heighten the impact of The Beach with visceral imagery, high-energy cutting and sharp-edged social commentary." |

A Beautiful Mind (2001) |
"The complexity of the brain -- and its effect on human behavior -- has seldom been explored with as much lyrical passion and engrossing intensity." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Bedazzled (2000) |
"Sort of a comic coming-out party for Fraser, who's really improved since George of the Jungle and Dudley Do-Right." |
Bill Muller |

Bee Season (2005) |
"Directors Scott McGehee and David Siegel and screenwriter Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal pull off the odd juxtapositions with surprising acumen." |

Before Night Falls (2000) |
"It's memorably etched in the viewer's mind through Bardem's complex portrait of a besieged but unbowed man." |
Jack Garner |

Before Sunset (2004) |
"Thanks to fine writing and two very good actors, filmgoers get another insightful look at the nature of love. Paris, also, has seldom looked so fresh and beautiful on screen." |

Behind Enemy Lines (2001) |

Bend It Like Beckham (2003) |

Best in Show (2000) |

Bewitched (2005) |
"The '60s TV sitcom Bewitched was never as good as the woman who played Samantha the witch — the late actress Elizabeth Montgomery. Ditto the new Bewitched, an only mildly entertaining sitcom enlivened by Nicole Kidman." |
