Splat 1.5/5 |
Bad Boys II (2003) |
"The film is perhaps the most cynical excuse to capitalize on past success as anything on offer this summer. It is a series of action set pieces loosely connected by the presence of its movie bad boys who bicker like an old couplr all the way to the bank." |

Tomato |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"Chirstopher Nolan's smart and successful reworking of the Batman franchise has no distinctive visual style. It does have an intelligent, well-told narrative that is both philosophically stimulating and adeptly paced." |

Batman Begins (2005) |
"News, photos, features and all things Batman." |

Battle of Algiers (1966) |

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) |
"The thing that is so compelling about this film is that it makes the audience work for it." |
David Poland |
Tomato B |
Being Julia (2004) |
" There is a vague sense that not much is really happening, but if you just hang with it and soak up the atmosphere, the delightful payoff is worth the wait." |

Beverly Hills Chihuahua (2008) |
" ... it's a lapdog of a script, all gussied up. And the Beverly Hills scenes made me want to arf." |

Beyond the Sea (2004) |
"Beyond the Sea is a heartfelt gem, so earnest, so joyful and so celebratory of Bobby Darin's spirit that the movie's flaws or embarrassments are completely irrelevant." |

Black Book (2007) |
"Lunch With Paul Verhoeven" |

Tomato A |
Black Hawk Down (2001) |
"n some ways it is an ultimate expression of where violence in movies has been headed, to a constant, relentless cavalcade of slaughter and destruction." |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Blind Side (2009) |
"I sure wish Sandra Bullock would get out of the business of making crappy rom-coms and make more movies like The Blind Side ..." |

Blindness (2008) |
"At it's worst, it's a super-Twilight Zone episode. At it's best, it's a grand dystopian epic of social degeneration." |

Splat |
Blood Diamond (2006) |
"This is the worst of Ed Zwick's films... utterly unfocused, trying to shove virtually every White Man In Africa stereotype in the movie book." |
David Poland |
Tomato B |
Blue Crush (2002) |
"There are minor convolutions and illogical story points, but it is the movie's sound mix that puts you in the pipe and keeps you there." |
Douglas Pratt |
Tomato |
Body of Lies (2008) |
"Thanks to its high-talent pro lineup, Body of Lies passes the time well, even if it doesn't necessarily enrich it." |
Kim Voynar |
Splat |
Body of Lies (2008) |
" Characters act and react with inexplicable intents and the story evolves in a manner that defies linear or random templates and certainly anything that might keep us engaged emotionally or psychologically." |
Leonard Klady |
Tomato 3/5 |
Body of Lies (2008) |
"It's an exciting movie, done in the flashy, breath-catching hyper-visual mode we expect from Scott. But in the end, it gets bogged down ..." |

The Break-Up (2006) |
"The summer's biggest disappointment - though hardly the worst movie - so far.

Tomato B- |
Brother Bear (2003) |
"A very nice little cartoon movie that just doesn't reach the stature of its siblings, and is unlikely to gain much standing with age." |
Douglas Pratt |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
The Brothers Bloom (2009) |
"... it's not important, but it's fun ..." |

Bruno (2009) |
"It's a funny, funny, funny movie. It'd just not revolutionary anymore." |
David Poland |
Splat 2/5 |
Buffalo Soldiers (2003) |
"even though the yarn turns on the blackest of ironies, it rarely strays from an event or circumstance that strains credulity. And Buffalo Soldiers truly needs the outrageous" |

The Butterfly Effect (1995) |
"The film is not eccentric enough to have a lasting cult appeal, but it is reasonably enjoyable as it unfolds." |
