Tomato 3/4 |
Baadasssss! (2004) |
"Works alternately as a weird kind of biopic, a movie about moviemaking and a film about a certain era in Hollywood." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Babel (2006) |
"It's in the more natural-seeming spurts of joy, rather in the less organic moments of crisis, that Babel makes its best argument for a universal experience." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato |
Baby Boy (2001) |
"In addition to being ruthlessly honest, Baby Boy is also Singleton's most cinematic work to date." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"This story of a corporate vice president and the surrogate mother she hires is so committed to convention that it runs into cliché." |

Splat 1/4 |
Bad Boys II (2003) |
"This film, whose nonplot seems to be motivated by a contempt for humanity, takes violence and turns it into a new form of pornography." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"The remake, despite its naughty language and scenes at Hooters, actually plays it safer than its predecessor." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 4/4 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"The closest thing we have today to a W.C. Fields movie." |

The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"Cinematic flourishes intoxicate until the hangover of retrospect sets in, and you recognize the unhealthiness of the filial relationship this scene has celebrated." |

Bandits (2001) |
"Even though it has a framework that gives the impression a solid story is being told here, conceptually Bandits is unformed, which is just the right touch that this particular movie calls for." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"The film runs on equal parts of innocence and wisdom -- wisdom that comes with experience. It has fun being grown up." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2/4 |
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"It's quite depressing to find that these self-absorbed people haven't really changed, that they still pontificate about their left-leaning politics, still offer unsolicited advice, still brag about their sex lives and still have a superior edge." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Barbershop (2002) |
"A nice way to spend a couple of hours. You'll feel like a longtime customer." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Basic (2003) |
"You know the drill. You've seen it before -- sometimes set in a police precinct house -- and you'll no doubt see it again." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat .5/4 |
Basic Instinct 2 (2006) |
"Of all the things Basic Instinct 2 threatened to be -- titillating, cheeky, outrageous -- who would have thought it would turn out boring?" |

Batman & Robin (1997) |
"A mishmash of prolonged, confused action sequences, which are, admittedly, brilliantly staged but don't make much sense." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"Batman Begins, in its restraint and seriousness of purpose, so envelops the audience in its world that even the most outrageous developments seem perfectly reasonable." |

Battlefield Earth (2000) |
"Sitting through the summer's first monolithic monstrosity, Battlefield Earth, was one of the most painfully excruciating experiences of my life." |

Beauty Shop (2005) |

Bee Movie (2007) |
"Some humor in Bee Movie is too sophisticated for little kids, but there are enough dazzling action scenes to compensate. Youngsters won't get an allusion to The Graduate, but they'll enjoy the slapstick that follows." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
Bee Season (2005) |

Before Sunset (2004) |
"I found myself hoping that Linklater, Hawke and Delpy would revisit these characters in another 10 years. And perhaps again in 20 years." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) |
"Sidney Lumet's Before the Devil Knows You're Dead starts with a bad idea -- a plan by two brothers to rob their parents' jewelry store -- and whips itself into a beautifully acted, nervous-making frenzy of a melodrama." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato |
Behind Enemy Lines (2001) |
"Like a good soldier, it does get the job done and in an efficient -- some would say simplistic -- way." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Being Julia (2004) |
"This is a choice role, and Bening tears into it with the broadest smile and widest eyes you ever saw." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Believer (2002) |
"It's too harsh to work as a piece of storytelling, but as an intellectual exercise -- an unpleasant debate that's been given the drive of a narrative and that's been acted out -- The Believer is nothing less than a provocative piece of work." |
