Tomato
3/4

Baadasssss! (2004)

"The most intriguing portions of this drama involve tales of how the elder Peebles circumvents the system in order to keep the camera rolling."

Jon Niccum

Splat
2/5

Baby Boom (1987)

"Nice performances by Keaton and Sam Shepherd almost give this anemic comedy the energy it lacks."

Dan Lybarger

Tomato
4/5

Back to School (1986)

"Rodney Dangerfield's funniest film"

Jon Niccum

Splat
2/5

Back to the Beach (1987)

"Silly, but with some great one-liners."

Jon Niccum

Tomato
5/5

Back to the Future (1985)

"One of the most purely entertaining blockbusters of the 1980s"

Jon Niccum

Splat
2/5

Backdraft (1991)

Jon Niccum

Tomato
4/5

Bad Boys (1983)

"Gritty prison flick with a fine lead by Penn"

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3/5

Bad Influence (1990)

"Features Rob Lowe at his most creepy"

Jon Niccum

Splat
2/4

Bad News Bears (2005)

"Bears is like a pitcher who is nibbling at the strike zone. It’s always close to hitting the target, but often frustratingly offline"

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3/5

Bad Taste (1987)

"The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson's debut is rather aptly named. Its crudity has more to do with Sam Raimi than Tolkein, but there's a wonderfully sophomoric enthusiasm that keeps it interesting."

Dan Lybarger

Tomato
5/5

The Bank Dick (1940)

"Fields' last major film is fantastic."

Dan Lybarger

Splat
1.5/4

Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

"Stone's every line of dialogue, every gesture, every hussy lip smack screams 'I'm too sexy for this movie.' And it's often hilarious."

Jon Niccum

Splat
2/5

Batman (1989)

"Gloomy and not particularly entertaining"

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3.5/4

Batman Begins (2005)

"For a movie that engages in the daunting task of handling the entire exposition of a superhero and crafting an airtight adventure for him, it’s quite an accomplishment."

Jon Niccum

Tomato
4/5

Battleship Potemkin (1925)

No article available.

Jon Niccum

Tomato
4/5

Battling Butler (1926)

"Has one of the funniest fight scenes ever filmed"

Jon Niccum

Splat
2.5/4

Be Cool (2005)

"a two-hour in-joke that is rarely dull but only occasionally as funny as it thinks it is. "

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3.5/4

A Beautiful Mind (2001)

"A Beautiful Mind is at its best when its subject is at his worst."

Jon Niccum

-

Beauty and the Beast (1991)

"There's a lot of emotion in it. For me, there's a lot of personal emotion because you have to realize that Howard Ashman never lived to see 'Beauty and the Beast.'"

Dan Lybarger

Tomato
4/5

Beavis and Butt-Head Do America (1996)

"Much funnier than it's audience probably deserved"

Jon Niccum

Splat

Before Night Falls (2000)

""I didn't set out to be a political film director," states filmmaker/painter Julian Schnabel. "I just wanted to make a movie about somebody whose words touched me.""

Dan Lybarger

Tomato
3/4

Before Night Falls (2000)

"Schnabel can take on an apparently spent genre like the biopic and produce a pair of films that ooze vitality as they give their subjects a much needed celebration."

Dan Lybarger

Splat
2/4

Bend It Like Beckham (2003)

"The movie is the latest in a snowballing line of routine culture-clash comedies that are so light they practically float off the screen."

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3/5

Benny & Joon (1993)

No article available.

Jon Niccum

Splat
2/5

Beverly Hills Cop 2 (1987)

"Skip this one and go back to the first 'Cop.'"

Splat

Bewitched (2005)

"Nora Ephron is simply out of her league when it comes to directing a feature film. "

Jon Niccum

Tomato
2.5/4

Beyond Borders (2003)

"The tense action scenes work better than the implausible romance."

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3.5/4

Big Fish (2003)

"Few filmmakers know more about exaggeration than Tim Burton."

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3/5

Big Night (1996)

The Big One (1997)

"Absolutely hilarious"

Jon Niccum

Tomato
4/5

Billy Jack (1971)

"A film so fascinatingly liberal it almost seems to exist in a different universe."

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3/5

The Birds (1963)

"One of Hitchcock's most overrated pictures"

Jon Niccum

Tomato
4/5

The Birth of a Nation (1915)

Dan Lybarger

-

Black Hawk Down (2001)

"Interview with consultants on "Black Hawk Down.""

Dan Lybarger

Tomato
3.5/4

Black Hawk Down (2001)

"Neither a jingoistic exercise in military muscle (a la Top Gun) nor an existential parable about the futility of war (as in The Thin Red Line)."

Jon Niccum

Tomato
5/5

Black Narcissus (1947)

"The cinematography is unforgettable."

Jon Niccum

Tomato
3/5

Blacula (1972)

"Has some genuinely scary moments."

5/5

"Still one of the best-looking movies ever shot"

Jon Niccum

Tomato
5/5

Blade Runner - The Director's Cut (1982)

"This sci-fi entry is grim, but compelling and features breathtaking visuals. The director's cut is far superior simply because it lacks the annoying voiceover and trusts its audience with the story."

Dan Lybarger

Tomato
5/5

Blade Runner - The Director's Cut (1982)

"The science fiction standout of the 1980s."

Jon Niccum

Jon Niccum

Tomato

Blue Crush (2002)
