The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009) |
"Engrossing on many levels -- except for, fatally, an emotional one." |

Tomato |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"A smart comedy for adults, Baby Mama is a consistently funny pleasure, filled with charismatic performances and a nicely understated emotional element." |
Tim Grierson |

Babylon A.D. (2008) |
"This occasionally lavish, often clunky venture is consistently watchable if not terribly memorable or distinctive." |
Lisa Nesselson |
Tomato |
Back To Normandy (2007) |
"A self-effacing figure, Philibert never imposes himself on the film, preferring to stress the communal experience of its creation and the very human stories that have emerged from his return journey." |
Allan Hunter |
Tomato |
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"What makes this film truly different is the unique tone introduced by director Werner Herzog." |
Mike Goodridge |
Tomato |
Baghead (2008) |

Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |

Bart Got a Room (2009) |

Battle in Seattle (2008) |
"An uneven but ultimately impassioned recreation of the riots at the 1999 World Trade Organization meeting in Seattle." |

The Beaches of Agnes (2009) |
"This feels like the work of an octogenarian who wishes to be leave those close to her a well rounded self-portrait to remember her by." |

Bedtime Stories (2008) |
"While kids will get a few giggles out of this scattershot Disney fantasy-comedy, adults probably won't find much to laugh at." |

Beeswax (2009) |
"Andrew Bujalski’s third film is another memorably natural character piece evoking the spirit of Rohmer, Cassavetes and Woody Allen in a uniquely young American style." |

Before the Rains (2008) |
"Overly familiar material is handled with enough skill and conviction by Indian director Santosh Sivan to create a quietly compelling drama." |
Allan Hunter |
Tomato |
Ben X (2008) |
"Ben X boldly melds virtual reality with live-action vérité style and docudrama to create what may be a new film grammar." |

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) |
"While it doesn't work particularly well on any of those levels, it is a colourful addition to the always popular talking dog genre." |

Bitter & Twisted (2008) |

The Black Balloon (2008) |

"Harrowing but limpidly shot." |
Lee Marshall |

Blindness (2008) |
"The result makes for a traumatic viewing experience, but never does Mereilles convincingly illuminate the wrenching fear of his source material." |
Fionnuala Halligan |

The Boat That Rocked (2009) |
"Lurches and leaks its way through a series of flimsy setpieces before gracelessly coming to a watery grave." |
Fionnuala Halligan |
Tomato |
Body of Lies (2008) |
"More gripping to watch in the moment than enjoyable to recall at its end." |
Mike Goodridge |

Bolt (2008) |
"Sharply-drawn supporting characters, a solid narrative hook and slickly constructed action-adventure sequences help make for a vibrant, engaging, feel-good treat that will connect strongly with younger viewers." |
Brent Simon |

Bottle Shock (2008) |
"The only thing that differentiates this 'movie' from an infomercial is its unbearable feature length. If you have to sit through it, bring plenty to drink." |

The Box (2009) |
"While there are some imaginative effects and spooky moments (as well as a few hackneyed sci-fi touches) the whole thing gets pretty silly at times, and the mystery is never fully resolved." |
John Hazelton |
Splat |
The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (2008) |
"The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas appears to be a little conflicted: it desperately wants the viewer to care about Bruno and Shmuel, yet the fact that this is a story not reality... places it, and the viewer, at arm's length." |
Fionnuala Halligan |
Tomato |
The Boys Are Back (2009) |
"It has the same understanding of male emotions as a Nick Hornby bestseller and could be that rare warmhearted weepie with an appeal that spans the genders and generations." |

Bride Wars (2009) |
"This comedy about female best friends whose bond is shattered when their weddings fall on the same date occasionally displays a desire to explore the nature of friendship and love, but unfortunately such moments of insight take a backseat to increasingly" |
Tim Grierson |
Tomato |
Brideshead Revisited (2008) |
"Evelyn Waugh's greatest novel gets a respectable new film treatment from a team of Britain 's biggest names, although it will inevitably remain in the shadow of the 1981 TV series." |
Mike Goodridge |
Splat |
Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2009) |
"An uneven, intriguing adaptation of David Foster Wallace's book of short stories, the film and its bits-and-pieces structure ultimately don't add up to as much as hoped." |
Tim Grierson |
Tomato |
Bright Star (2009) |
"It is Campion’s most fully realised, satisfying achievement in a long while and will be warmly embraced as a prestige item with awards potential." |

Brooklyn's Finest (2010) |
"Despite several good performances, including a superb turn by Ethan Hawke, Brooklyn's Finest has difficulty being as emotionally involving as it would like." |
Tim Grierson |
Tomato |
Brothers (2009) |
"Brothers is that rare animal, a US remake of a fine foreign language film which works on both a creative and thematic level in its conversion to an American setting." |
Mike Goodridge |
Splat |
The Brothers Bloom (2009) |
"A globe-trotting con game adventure that has a degree of charm but also displays the exasperating indulgence of an ambitious auteur project that may have been more fun to film than it is to watch." |
