Bad Company (2002) |

Barbershop (2002) |

Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Barker (1928) |

Batman Begins (2005) |

Tomato 4/5 |
Battle Royale (2000) |
"A hell of an action movie, an admission that makes me feel a little guilty." |
Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |

Battleship Potemkin (1925) |

"Below par, at least for the unrivaled master of silent comedy." |
Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |

Baxter (1991) |

Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |
Tomato 4/5 |
Bay of Blood (1971) |
"You'll see things that countless horror films have stolen, but unlike a lot of classic films that have been ripped off for years, this one holds up." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Being John Malkovich (1999) |
"There was a scene in Being John Malkovich that ranks as the funniest scene I have ever, well, seen, in a movie. That would be when John Malkovich goes through the portal into his own mind. I laughed so hard that I fell out of my chair." |
Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Being Julia (2004) |
"Annette Bening shines with a glow that is beyond confidence and beyond beauty. She picks up the sometimes-clunky material and carries it on her shapely shoulders." |

Big Fish (2003) |
"There was something nagging at me, something that didn't become clear until the final, awful scenes, where Burton and company get to their point." |
Michael W. Phillips, Jr. |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Big Heat (1953) |
"Relentlessly depressing and cynical, and although it was well-made, its cruelty made it an uncomfortable experience." |

Splat 2.5/5 |
Bird of Paradise/The Lady Refuses (1932) |

Black Cat (1991) |
"Do you want action? Suspense? Comedy? A good romance? Great acting, direction, and script? Go somewhere else." |
