Tomato 4/5 |
Baadasssss! (2004) |
"It's a great story and well worth remembering." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Babel (2006) |
"It's a great film made with style and heart and hope, a cautionary parable and an almost certain Oscar contender." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Baby Boy (2001) |
"If only Singleton had filtered Baby Boy's passion through the ideas of real deep thinkers on this subject, he might yet fulfill the great promise that he showed us back when he was a 23 year-old baby boy wonder himself." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"There are a couple of minor surprises and enough laughs and truisms floating around the supporting cast to make this an easy comedy to watch." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Bachelor (1999) |
"If you go in hoping for a funny-sweet wedding comedy that deserves to stand with Four Weddings and a Funeral or My Best Friend's Wedding, The Bachelor will leave you standing at the altar." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Bad Boys II (2003) |
"Bad Boys II just goes on and on, with more dazzling camera work, more 'funny' murders and executions by the bad guys and the good guys and judiciously used profanity and the occasional 'N' word for comic effect." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Bad Company (2002) |
"Bad luck, bad script, bad acting. Bad Company? Bad movie." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Bad Education (2004) |
"Simple melodrama, a not-that-puzzling puzzle of a film noir." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Bad News Bears (2005) |
"It isn't funny; it isn't sweet, and it has none of the innocence of the original." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"The cast is resourceful enough to keep the film at least watchable throughout." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Baghead (2008) |
"The coda, even if it doesn't wholly work, should have some sobering lessons for would-be filmmakers who see this. Kids, try this at home." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Bait (2000) |
"Fuqua has enveloped the luckless Jamie Foxx ... in a stylishly inept mess of a movie; a film as badly flawed in concept as it is incoherent in execution." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"As indie efforts go, The Ballad of Jack and Rose pushes a lot of the classic indie audience buttons, coupled with some depressingly mainstream ones." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ballets Russes (2005) |
"Vintage footage and modern interviews and staged 'events' tell the tale of this important piece of art history." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"To the civilized mind, a movie like Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever is more of an ordeal than an amusement." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Ben Garant fumbles the formula he's mocking, denying us the spectacular and hilarious matches that the story demands." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005) |
"[A] charmer." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Band's Visit (2007) |
"Like no fish-out-of-water film in recent memory, it leaves you with the hope that these fish will find their way back to water, and maybe learn to share that puddle before the desert dries it up entirely." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Bandits (2001) |
"Bandits is a more nuanced film than the goofy previews make it out to be. It's funnier, for one thing, and more lyrical." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Bandslam (2009) |
"There's no edge, but if you're young enough to not know the original version of I Want You To Want Me, Bandslam may have charms enough to tickle your tweenage heart." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"The actresses find their own rhythm and protect each other from the script's bad ideas and awkwardness." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
"This is as stale as Tuesday's Phad Thai, from its exhausted mythos of the surgically efficient, omnipotent hit man to the training scenes in which Joe explains the trade to the new guy, to the inevitable betrayals of the third act." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Bank Job (2008) |
"The Bank Job is a solidly built and entertaining Brit B-movie about a heist that goes wrong. And right." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"A nicely balanced blend of sentiment and acrid wit." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Barbershop (2002) |
"Ice Cube is sympathetic as the star, and Cedric the Entertainer tends to steal the show." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) |
"As in the original film, it's the chemistry among the actors that really counts. And fortunately, the filmmakers have reassembled the terrific cast." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) |
"Politically correct, anatomically incorrect and ugly to look at, the only thing that saves Barnyard is writer (and director) Steve Oedekerk's gift for gags and almost-edgy humor." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bart Got a Room (2009) |
"The sweet, dizzy finale makes up for all the predictability before it." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Basic (2003) |
"A Rashomon-like thriller that entertains and challenges you to pay attention, to figure out its plot and to connect its clues." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Basic Instinct 2 (2006) |
"But the movie is a baroque little mystery of so little mystery or consequence that you're literally sitting there waiting for the next full body cavity search." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"When you shine too much light, you take away the shadows. And without those, the Dark Knight is just a guy in a rubber suit mugging muggers." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Battle for Terra (2009) |
"In making animation that isn't dark enough for older fans and is too message-centric for kids, Team Terra has created a film that will probably satisfy no one." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Battle in Seattle (2008) |
"Actor-turned writer-director Stuart Townsend makes great use of the documentary footage of the '99 Seattle WTO riots. And he gets across his talking points about this shadowy outfit, too. It's a shame his script and all his actor friends get in the way." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Be Cool (2005) |
"It's unchallenging but amusing enough." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Be Kind Rewind (2008) |
"If it isn't up to his Oscar-winning Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, it at least has Jack Black and Mos Def around for laughs." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
A Beautiful Mind (2001) |
"Howard gives Crowe the space he needs to build a memorable character." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato |
Beauty and the Beast (1991) |
"Moves us because we know that true love can sometimes seem like a mismatch. And also because, in love, we can all feel like captives or beasts." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Beauty Shop (2005) |
"You take the good with the bad." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Because I Said So (2007) |
"There's a charming bonhomie among the sisters, and there are cute touches to the romances." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Because of Winn-Dixie (2005) |
"Because is proof positive that nostalgia and dogs go together like Winn and Dixie." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Becoming Jane (2007) |
"The script's lively, modern points of departure give it a few surprises." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Bedazzled (2000) |
"By the end of the movie, I wasn't so much bedazzled as bedraggled." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Bedtime Stories (2008) |
"Box-office commodity Adam Sandler is repositioned as kid-friendly in Bedtime Stories, a Disney movie that plays better on a balance sheet than a screen." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Bee Movie (2007) |
"An often-inspired smart comedy for kids, and a vintage Seinfeld laugh for adults." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Bee Season (2005) |
"[A] pretentious family-in-crisis drama ..." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Before Night Falls (2000) |
"Clearly this is Bardem's show. And Bardem walks away with it." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 5/5 |
Before Sunset (2004) |
"A richer experience than the original." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) |
"[Lumet's] best film since 1982's The Verdict." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Being Julia (2004) |
"It is Bening that's worth the price of admission. She makes even the corniest line ring true." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Bella (2007) |
"An engaging failure, an inversion of some New York movie clichés, a sweet if incomplete movie about love with the proper stranger in the city that never sleeps." |
Roger Moore |
