Tomato 3/4 |
Babe (1995) |
"It's rare to see this kind of care expended on any movie; on a family picture, it's a small miracle." |

Babette's Feast (1987) |
"Still the gold standard of food movies." |

Tomato |
Baby Boy (2001) |
"To a large degree, its ungainliness is forgivable, as it reflects a breadth of ambition, not a failure of talent." |
Joe Leydon |
Splat 2/4 |
Babylon A.D. (2008) |
"'Babylon A.D.' has ideas, but they are hopelessly lost in a story with no interior logic." |

Bad Boys II (2003) |
"The film is ultimately so vile that it might actually have the power to make filmmakers and audiences think again about how to portray and view violence in films." |

Badlands (1973) |
"Unfortunately, movies about banal people are often banal themselves." |

Bait (2000) |
"At close to two hours, Bait is too much of nothing and far from the potentially star-making material that Foxx deserves." |

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"It's tempting to compare Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever to a video game, but that would be giving it credit for more substance and coherence than it deserves." |

Bamboozled (2000) |
"Goes too far in the wrong direction and not far enough where you want it to." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bandit Queen (1994) |
"Seema Biswas, who plays the protagonist, conveys a remarkable range of suffering - bleeding, at its extremes, into a kind of pure, white-hot hate that makes the anger of Thelma and Louise look like playground stuff." |
Scott Rosenberg |
Tomato |
Bandits (2001) |
"A funny, frisky and flavorsomely eccentric comedy about bank robbery, romantic triangles and chronic hypochondria." |
Joe Leydon |
Splat 2/4 |
The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"The movie is worth seeing only to savor Hawn's self-mocking ebullience as a character who comes off as a grown-older version of the sexy kooks she played three decades ago." |

Barb Wire (1996) |
"The hypocrisy level is annoying." |
Allan Ulrich |
Tomato |
Barbarella (1968) |
"Though slow spots abound, the camp content of some scenes is astro-nomical and it reminds us of a more innocent time when the concept of death by sex was something we could laugh about." |
Barry Walters |
Tomato 3/4 |
Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) |
"A better, funnier, more closely cropped movie than its enjoyable predecessor." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Barry Lyndon (1975) |
"Astounds as one of Kubrick's most visually splendid movies, each shot framed as a lovely painting, emphasizing the non-action of the period and of Barry himself." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bartleby (2002) |
"A much more successful translation than its most famous previous film adaptation, writer-director Anthony Friedman's similarly updated 1970 British production." |
Joe Leydon |

Baseketball (1998) |
"BASEketball is a dog of a movie and that anyone paying to see it is hurting for a life. But then, you knew that." |

Be Kind Rewind (2008) |
"'Be Kind Rewind' is a whimsical adventure with genuine affection for its characters, but Gondry's story is essentially weightless, a fanciful flight in search of a raison d'etre." |
Rossiter Drake |

The Beach (2000) |
"Despite a flat finale and some laughable hypothesizing about pursuits of liberty, the movie has its own addictive elements: well-used electronica, Darius Khondji's photography and the nonstop charisma of its star." |
