Babel (2006) |
"Iñárritu is an exceptionally gifted director who makes each individual scene in Babel work beautifully. However, he runs into trouble as he attempts to pull all the plot strands together." |

Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant talk about their approach to comedy." |

Tomato 8/10 |
The Band's Visit (2007) |
"The film succeeds because of the nuanced performances of its superb cast, and because of Kolirin's witty visual compositions." |

Tomato 6/10 |
The Bank Job (2008) |
"Knowing that something as outrageous as this could be true does give the film some added spice." |

Tomato |
Batman: The Movie (1966) |
"The vibrant new film transfer of Batman: The Movie boasts an explosion of eye-popping colors that scream 1960s pop art. The film, like the TV series, has a definite cheese factor but both are still wildly entertaining today." |

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) |
"In a way Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is like watching a car crash %u2014 you want to look away, but something compels you to try and take in all the gory details." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 6/10 |
Before the Rains (2008) |
"[Bose's T.K.] is both an observer and a reluctant participant in the tragedy, and in Bose's performance we see the intellectual awakening and politicization of a young man." |

Tomato 5/10 |
Beowulf (2007) |
"Beowulf aspires to epic realm of 300 and the fantasy of Lord of the Rings but falls short of both. But it's an intriguing novelty act with a few stirring scenes." |

Beverly Hills Cop 2 (1987) |
"Been there and done that better." |

Tomato |
Big Fan (2009) |
"At times Siegel makes his film painfully brutal at other times it feels like a savage black comedy. Yet Siegel never lets Paul become a mere character type." |

Tomato |
The Big Lebowski (1998) |
"As with Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski gives us a protagonist whose dopey innocence seems to be his only protection from the real world." |

Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008) |
"But in the end I think Bell is not so much pro-steroids but rather eager to open up a debate about the drug. He doesn't pretend to have answers but he's full of questions." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 10/10 |
A Bittersweet Life (2005) |
"The story revolves around Sun-woo (Lee Byung-hun), a sleek and elegant mobster whose cat-like grace recalls Alain Delon in Le Samourai." |

Black Sheep (2007) |
"The human characters in Black Sheep are nothing more than tired stereotypes... But the sheep are fabulous!" |

Blade Runner - The Final Cut (1982) |
"Blade Runner has only gotten better with time. Do yourself a favor and pass over anything new in theaters and go for this old classic, it still has the power to dazzle and amaze." |

Bleach: Memories of Nobody (2008) |
"As with the anime series, the Bleach movie mixes furious action, with bittersweet drama and goofball comedy." |
Beth Accomando |
Splat |
Blood Diamond (2006) |
"Blood Diamond presents itself as an action thriller but the genre trappings can't hide the fact that Zwick wants to teach audiences another history lesson and lecture them on political correctness." |
Beth Accomando |
Splat |
Blood: The Last Vampire (2009) |
"The best thing that can come from this film is that it will be so poorly received both by critics and audiences that it will put a damper on Hollywood's current interest in remaking anime." |

Bottle Shock (2008) |
"I would pay to see this film again if only for Rickman... Rickman's performance, like so much of his work, is sheer perfection and a delight to watch." |

The Bourne Identity (2002) |
"You may be surprised by the fact that this formula spy thriller has been delivered with a matter-of-fact efficiency that proves highly entertaining." |

The Bourne Supremacy (2004) |
"It is a spy film for adults and it avoids over the top pyrotechnics and jokey one-liners, and instead delivers a mature, intelligent thriller." |

Tomato |
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) |
"Greengrass is a talented filmmaker with a documentary background and a knack for getting at the immediacy of events. With The Bourne Ultimatum, he hits the ground running and just never stops." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato |
Boy A (2008) |
"His sophomore feature, Boy A explores bleak territory but its insistence on not tying everything up in neat little bows is to be commended." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 5/5 |
Boys Town (1938) |
"A classic with Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney squaring off magnificently." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 5/10 |
Bra Boys (2008) |
"It aspires to but falls short of Dogtown's inspired, edgy mix of sports history, pop culture, social commentary, and revealing interviews." |

Tomato 6/10 |
The Brave One (2007) |
"The performers, however, almost make us forget the problems with the script. Foster and Howard are a riveting pair." |

Buffalo Soldiers (2003) |
"Buffalo Soldiers is like M*A*S*H for the Reagan/Bush era generation that never knew a war like Vietnam. Both films offer a slap in the face to the establishment and display irreverent, savage satire." |
