Splat 1/5 |
The Babe (1992) |
"A terrible bio-pic, almost as bad as William Bendix in The Babe Ruth Story; Goodman is all ham; inaccuracies abound; no real sense of the game is evident." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Babe (1995) |
"A wonderful family movie; one of the best of the 1990s, and all time." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
Babes in Toyland (1961) |
"A disgrace to the memory of Laurel and Hardy and the Hal Roach original." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Bachelor Party (1984) |
"Even Tom Hanks had to start somewhere, and this lame comedy is one of his earliest works. That is its only attribute." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Backbeat (1994) |
"Nice look at the early life of the Beatles." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Backdraft (1991) |
"Great effects, the fire is a living, breathing entity." |
|
Bad Boys II (2003) |
|||
Tomato 4/5 |
Ball of Fire (1941) |
"A great screwball comedy, with Stanwyck in one of her sexiest roles." |
|
The Band Wagon (1953) |
"Nobody made musicals better than MGM, and the proof can be found in this five-film set. " |
||
Tomato 4/5 |
Bang the Drum Slowly (1973) |
"A great baseball movie and a touching buddy film with De Niro showing the talent that has made him one of our best actors. Moriarity gives a fine performance as his star-pitcher friend." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Barry Lyndon (1975) |
"Sure it is slow; but it rolls over you and mesmerizes you; a wonderfully photographed effort with a great soundtrack; one of O'Neal's best performances." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Barton Fink (1991) |
"Interesting Coen Bros. venture. Goodman was most strange." |
|
Basic (2003) |
|||
Tomato 4/5 |
Batman (1989) |
"A dark reinvention of the Batman legend; the only offkey piece is Jack Nicholson's way over the top performance." |
|
Batman Begins (2005) |
|||
Tomato 4/5 |
Beau Geste (1939) |
"A great adventure film from the golden age of movies; Cooper is in top form, ably assisted by Milland and Preston. Brian Donlevy steals the show as the sadistic sargeant." |
|
A Beautiful Mind (2001) |
|||
Tomato 3/5 |
"A wonderful bit of anarchy, anti-social fun; at times tasteless, but always funny." |
||
Tomato 3/5 |
Bedlam (1946) |
"A fine feature in the Val Lewton series for RKO is not so much a horror film, though it does contain one of Karloff's more deliciously sadistic performances." |
|
Bee Movie (2007) |
|||
Before Sunset (2004) |
|||
Behind Enemy Lines (2001) |
|||
Tomato 3/5 |
"Hokey by today's standards, but one of the greatest silent film spectacles." |
||
Bend It Like Beckham (2003) |
"Bend It Like Beckham is a joyous feature that works very well in the home entertainment format." |

The Black Hole (1979) |
"A weak, unfocused s-f venture; not one of Disney's shining moments." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Black Sunday (1976) |
"One of the all-time great thrillers. It does not seem as far-fetched today as when it was originally released." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
Blackbeard's Ghost (1968) |
"Another stupid Disney live-action piece of inane cliches and situations." |

|
Blue Crush (2002) |
|||
Splat 2/5 |

Splat 2/5 |
The Blues Brothers (1980) |
