Babel (2006) |
"The ending is cowardly, mawkishly idealistic and, worst of all, panders to the upbeat-ending demands of Hollywood (Babel is the largest financed Iñárritu film)." |

Babel (2006) |
"Iñárritu not only tries to pull the heart strings with children weeping; there’s also the completely gratuitous side story about Asian teens in short skirts sans panties." |

Bad Boys II (2003) |
"The action is literally breathtaking . . . the interested viewer should check their brain at the door. Bad Boys II has nary an intelligent thought or realistic attitude about anything." |

Bambi (1942) |
"Perhaps the life of Donald Dunagan would have been different if he'd gotten credit for playing Bambi. Instead, he became the youngest drill instructor in Marine Corps history." |
