Baby Boy (2001) |

The Babysitters (2008) |
"Ultimately plays out as weakly as an actual adult film." |

The Bachelor (1999) |
"Tedious and mundane." |

Splat 4/10 |
Bad Company (2002) |
"Bruckheimer & Co. would have saved millions and millions of dollars had they just used footage from the films they ripped off to make this film." |

Bad Education (2004) |
"Terrifically layered and wonderfully paced." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
Bad News Bears (2005) |
"It’s hysterical that the people who saw this movie as kids are now bent out of shape from the film’s content because it’s exactly the same as it was 29 years ago." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"More heart and soul than The Grinch and The Cat in the Hat put together." |
Jon Popick |

Baise Moi (2001) |
"There isn't much happening artistically here; it's just a lot of humping and killing." |

Splat 4/10 |
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"The only thing that separates Invasions from vile tripe like Stepmom and Sweet November is the language its mawkish characters spew." |

Batman Begins (2005) |
"Batman never once seems to be in real jeopardy (though you can hardly tell from his voice, which makes it sound like he’s undergoing a perpetual colonoscopy)." |

Battlefield Earth (2000) |
"to make matters worse, Earth only covers half of Hubbard’s 1,000-plus page novel. The filmmakers plan on releasing a sequel in two years." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 2/10 |
Be Cool (2005) |
"Manages to re-write both Los Angeles County smoking laws and the history of Liv Tyler’s parentage without batting an eye." |

Beautiful (2000) |
"It's difficult to say whether the film had a weak, choppy script, or if Fields insisted on cramming too much into the final product." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
A Beautiful Mind (2001) |
"[Crowe's performance is] still one of the better roles you'll see all year and seems a shoo-in for a Hanks-like third nomination in a row." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Beauty and the Beast (1991) |
"The new version is amazingly sharp with backgrounds that look like Impressionist paintings." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
Beauty in Trouble (2008) |
"One of those movies where a woman has to choose between financial security and a serious deep ***king." |
Jon Popick |

Because I Said So (2007) |
"I spent the bulk of the running time thinking of creative ways for the characters to be murdered." |

Because of Winn-Dixie (2005) |
"The new My Girl-meets-Turner & Hooch-meets-My Dog Skip film from the formerly formidable but recently forgettable director Wayne Wang." |

Bedazzled (2000) |
"A light, entertaining film that is probably the best family comedy to be released in several months." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
Bee Season (2005) |
"May have blown me away if its driving force wasn't rooted in the secrets of Kabbalah, which instead made me feel like I was being brainwashed with a cult recruitment film" |

Tomato |
Before Night Falls (2000) |
"Beautifully shot and exceptionally well put together, with Schnabel using numerous cinematic techniques, usually to perfection." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
Before Sunset (2004) |
"A rare example of a sequel that is labor of love -– not one that worships at the altar of the Almighty Dollar." |

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) |
"Half the fun is watching a first-rate cast try to outdo each other without chewing up any scenery." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 6/10 |
Behind Enemy Lines (2001) |
"[Wilson] either retools his lines into uncanny comic gems ... or pumps enough life into the typical monosyllabic action dialogue to make it enjoyable." |

Beijing Bicycle (2002) |
"A thinly veiled look at different aspects of Chinese life clashing with each other." |

Being John Malkovich (1999) |
"The film is a daringly creative, visually stunning and wonderfully acted fantasy." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
Being Julia (2004) |
"A wildly uneven blend of ‘30s screwball comedies and the kind of Grand Guignol melodrama that made me wish Charles Busch was starring instead of the wildly uneven Bening." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
The Believer (2002) |
"Without question, The Believer is a thought-provoking film that will spur discussion and, in some cases, argument." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
Bend It Like Beckham (2003) |
"Chick flicks, by and large, suck like crazy, and sports films aren't usually much better, but Bend It manages to tread in both genres without stinking up the joint." |

Beyond Borders (2003) |
"I should have walked out of my screening, gone to a laundromat and watched towels spin around in a dryer, because that would have been more compelling." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 3/10 |
Beyond the Mat (1999) |
"A biased story of a billion-dollar industry that must have tons of skeletons in its closet. But it didn’t even open the closet door." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
Beyond the Sea (2004) |
"It’s a nice collection of dated songs, but horribly paced and completely insubstantial as a film." |
