Splat
1/4

B.A.P.S. (1997)

"Landau does the best he can with his limitations."

Barbara Shulgasser

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."

Walter V. Addiego

Tomato
5/5

Babette's Feast (1987)

"Still the gold standard of food movies."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

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."

Rossiter Drake

Splat

The Bachelor (1999)

"Painfully unfunny."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
3/5

Bachelor Party (1984)

"Hanks at his best."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Tomato

Bad Boys (1995)

"A pretty amusing shoot'em-up."

Gary Kamiya

Splat
2/4

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."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Tomato

Bad Company (1972)

"A smart, character-driven Western."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Walter V. Addiego

Tomato
4/4

Bad Santa (2003)

"I have been laughing myself silly almost every day since I saw it more than a week ago."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

-

Bad Santa (2003)

"Interview with Terry Zwigoff."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Splat
2/4

Badlands (1973)

"Unfortunately, movies about banal people are often banal themselves."

Barbara Shulgasser

Splat

Bait (2000)

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

Walter V. Addiego

Splat
2/4

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."

Joe Leydon

-

Balto (1995)

Walter V. Addiego

Splat

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."

Joe Leydon

-

Bar Girls (1995)

Barbara Shulgasser

Tomato
3/4

Baran (2002)

"The movie itself is timeless and universal, at once artless and sophisticated in its ability to engross."

Joe Leydon

Splat
1/4

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

Splat
1/4

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."

Edvins Beitiks

-

Basic (2003)

"Interview with John Travolta."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

-

The Basket (1999)

Walter V. Addiego

Splat
1/4

The Basketball Diaries (1995)

"The film's complete refusal to explore anything beyond Jim's collapse and redemption is both sentimental and finally uninteresting."

Gary Kamiya

-

Basquiat (1996)

"Pretentious and dull."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Barbara Shulgasser

Tomato
3/5

Batman (1989)

"An almost-great film -- a comic book movie that takes chances."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Splat

Batman & Robin (1997)

"Seems like a big collection of Vegas acts strung together"

Barbara Shulgasser

Tomato

Batman Forever (1995)

"Jim Carrey plays the Riddler and once he shows up, all the other actors might just as well go home."

Barbara Shulgasser

Splat
1/4

Bats (1999)

"A dimwitted, fill-in-the-blanks horror opus that slanders a fine and useful mammal."

Walter V. Addiego

-

The Battle of Shaker Heights (2003)

Ben Nuckols

Splat

Battlefield Earth (2000)

"If filmmaking has ever been less thrilling and more disengaging, I'd like to see it."

Wesley Morris

Splat
2.5/4

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

Tomato

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."

Wesley Morris

Splat
0/5

Beaches (1988)

"Horrible... just horrible."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

-

Bean (1997)

Barbara Shulgasser

5/5

Beastie Boys DVD Video Anthology (2000)

"Contains the greatest video ever made: Spike Jonze's Sabotage."

Jeffrey M. Anderson

Tomato

Beau Travail (1999)

"Denis' film is as fluid as her nine others, demonstrating her skill at integrating story strands with her handsome visual sense and gift for evocation."

Wesley Morris

-

Beautiful (2000)

"Now we know where Forrest Gump got at least part of his liabilities."

G. Allen Johnson
