B.A.P.S. (1997) |

Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.0/4 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"You don’t have to be a drunken department store Santa to see how blurry this storyline is, but it couldn’t hurt." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"At every opportunity to do something clever, the film goes right over the edge and kills every sense of believability... all you have left is a no-surprise series of explosions and violence while Banderas looks like he's not trying to laugh at how bad it" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
The Bank Job (2008) |
"When the (supposedly) true story that this film is based upon was finally revealed, it isn't hard to imagine waiting over 30 years to make it..." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"Life, liberty, and the pursuit of loose women; it’s wonderful to be dying in Montreal." |

"... never before has the costume worn the actor; Bale is Batman with or without it." |

Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4.0 |
Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2007) |
"... a sort of Scream meets The Blair Witch Project... a romp through the good ol' days before horror films became Japanese remakes or rated PG-13..." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
The Benchwarmers (2006) |
"You won't know whether to roll your eyes or smile like a fool, but you will know you've been entertained." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
Beowulf (2007) |
"... a real-life Dungeons & Dragons story brought to life... While not quite as epic as 300, it's still one hell of a good ride." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Beverly Hills Cop 2 (1987) |
"Perhaps the pinnacle of Eddie Murphy's career." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
Beyond the Sea (2004) |

Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3/5 |
Billy Madison (1995) |
"Better than it deserves to be." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 0.0/4.0 |
Black Christmas (2006) |
"All setup and no payoff makes this a dull film." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.0/4.0 |
The Black Dahlia (2006) |
"... ends up being forgettable enough that someone else in the future may still be able to take another stab at the idea." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Blade 2 (2002) |
"Between action, gunplay, fights, chases, special effects, and offensive one-liners, Blade II pleases on all levels." |
Kevin A. Ranson |

Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
Blood Car |
"Looking for alternative fuels? This one will cost an arm and a leg (but not necessarily yours)." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.5/4.0 |
BloodRayne (2006) |
"... easily the R-rated sex and gore movie every 14-year old teen secretly sneaks up to watch after his parents go to bed." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4.0 |
Boogeyman (2005) |
"Boogeyman manages to make you do what films like Jeepers Creepers and Darkness Falls wouldn't let you do: believe." |

Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4.0 |
The Bourne Supremacy (2004) |
"The old-school Cold War spy thriller is Bourne again." |
Kevin A. Ranson |

"Funnier than it deserves to be." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 2.5/4.0 |

Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Bride of Chucky (1998) |
"Any film where John Ritter dies TWICE can't be all bad." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Bringing Down the House (2003) |
"Are old white guys trying to act like young black girls still funny? Whoever keeps writing these kinds of scripts really needs to be hurt (or at least forced to stand naked holding up a sign in NYC with their script scrawled on the front)." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
Brokeback Mountain (2005) |
"(The film's) edge is its same-sex controversy, but the cast is what keeps it sharp." |
Kevin A. Ranson |

Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bruce Almighty (2003) |

"Burn Before Watching." |
