Babel (2006) |
"Babel is the kind of movie I would recommend to a specific audience. If you don't mind sitting and soaking up the little details and absorbing a theme as deep as it will go, then you may agree that this film is quite rewarding." |

Baby Mama (2008) |
"The comedy teams longtime "Saturday Night Live" vets Tina Fey and Amy Poehler - two of the funniest individuals on the planet, in my opinion - for a comedy that distinctly exploits their synergistic comic sensibilities." |

Back to the Future (1985) |

Bad Boys II (2003) |
"If there are movie theaters in Hell, Bad Boys II is certain to be a perpetual feature." |

Bad Company (2002) |
"Maybe I would have liked this better ten years ago, when mixed-race action/buddy movies were simply stale instead of downright moldy." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"There is nothing wrong per se with this new version of The Bad News Bears. That said, the new version lacks the bite of what we saw in the mid-70’s." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"Bad Santa not only embraces bad taste, it envelops it. And I couldn’t stop laughing." |

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"The title - insipid as it is - is more interesting than anything that actually appears on screen." |

Bandits (2001) |
"How appropriate is that title for a movie that stole two hours of my life?" |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"Director Bob Dolman was at least smart enough to cast two actresses capable of finding the note of truth in this story and playing it beautifully." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
"Bangkok isn't dangerous so much as really, really boring." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Bank Job (2008) |
"The Bank Job is smart, and it's exciting, and it's fun at the same time." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Barbershop (2002) |
"When the theater lights came up, I only knew that I wanted to go back to the shop tomorrow." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) |
"There are some laughs in the movie, some nice moments between the characters, and some occasional glimmers of the old magic. However, there are not enough of them." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) |
"All the cows have udders - even the male ones. In real life, only female cows have udders. What kind of sick, alternate cow universe does this movie take place in anyway?" |

Basic (2003) |
"It really doesn't matter what you think you know about Basic because the movie doesn't provide any answers to the most important question: Why?" |

Batman - Gotham Knight (2008) |
"Of all the animated superhero DVDs that have come out in the last few years, this one is the best." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 4/4 |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"Batman Begins does all the standard things beautifully, then adds several additional layers of quality via the story and the themes. This is why I go to the movies." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Batman Forever (1995) |
"More campy than Burton's Batman, but still good." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Be Cool (2005) |
"An Elmore Leonard story is almost always more interesting than most of the pictures playing at the multiplex." |

A Beautiful Mind (2001) |
"An absorbing movie from start to finish." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Beauty Shop (2005) |
"The film has a lot of good things around the edges, but its core lacks the spark that would make us want to return again and again to Gina’s salon." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Becoming Jane (2007) |
"The central idea in Becoming Jane is that "Pride and Prejudice" may have been autobiographical. Not a bad idea, except that the film plays more like a new adaptation of that book than as an outright examination of Austen's inspiration." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Bee Movie (2007) |
"Regardless of its PG rating, if you are a fan of Jerry Seinfeld's comedy style, then you will probably find a lot to like here. This is an incredibly witty film." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Beerfest (2006) |
"There's an old slogan for a popular beer company: "Tastes great, less filling." Beerfest would certainly have tasted better had it been less filling by about 30 minutes." |

The Benchwarmers (2006) |
"The Benchwarmers doesn't know what it wants to be, so it ends up a mostly unsatisfying mixture of sweet and sour." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Bend It Like Beckham (2003) |
"Bend It Like Beckham is funny at times, but not funny enough. It has moments of warmth, but none that really made me feel all warm inside." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Beowulf (2007) |
"Director Robert Zemeckis has created a computer-animated movie is that exciting, funny, sexy, and thrilling. A genuinely cool moviegoing event." |

Bewitched (2005) |
"Bewitched has more giggles than belly laughs, but it’s not the same-old same old, and the massive appeal of Will Ferrell and Nicole Kidman is undeniable." |

Beyond Borders (2003) |
"Beyond Borders should have been to relief efforts what Schindler’s List was to the Holocaust. Or what Saving Private Ryan was to WWII." |

Beyond the Sea (2004) |
"Never brings Bobby Darin’s life into sharp focus, but at least gives us an appealing dose of show-biz razzle dazzle" |

Big Fat Liar (2002) |
"It sends a very clear message to young viewers: it's okay to get revenge against someone you don't like." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Big Fish (2003) |
"A good movie, but Tim Burton doing “whimsical” is not quite as interesting as Tim Burton doing “dark and twisted.”" |
