Babe (1995)

"Australian director Chris Noonan and producer George Miller show what real talent and imagination can do, even without big-name humans as costars."

Baby Boy (2001)

"What holds the movie together ... is Gibson's broodingly responsive performance."

Baby Mama (2008)

"Although the big picture itself gets mushy, the small moments, especially involving Fey, are sharp."

The Babysitters (2008)

"The premise is out of '70s porn, and so is the overbroad satire and almost total lack of conviction."

Backdraft (1991)

"Backdraft has some of the raw filmmaking excitement that has been missing from Howard's recent work."

Bad Boys II (2003)

"While early scripts featured narcotics detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett globe-hopping in London and Paris, Bruckheimer and Bay eventually settled on Shelton's straight -from-the -headlines draft ..."

Bad Boys II (2003)

"Smith and Lawrence give good razz, but Bad Boys II proves that it's possible to pack a movie with so much popcorn that it leaves the audience overdosed."

Bad Company (2002)

"Shrewd and unflummoxed even when undermined by the story's inherent stupidity, Rock is the patch of street smarts on which an even odder couple stand ..."

Bad Education (2004)

"I'm not sure if Bad Education is Almodóvar's most personal film, but it's the one, at least to me, in which he has spoken most directly. It feels good to finally hear his voice."

Bad Lieutenant (1992)

"Bad Lieutenant is finally a pulp parable of sin, addiction, and redemption, a movie that, like its subversive hero, revels in the pleasure -- and danger -- of going too far."

Bad News Bears (2005)

"[A] swell, fair-ball remake of the well-loved, anti-PC 1976 sports comedy."

Bait (2000)

"Watching [the events] unfold is like being at the mercy of a compulsive channel surfer who can't stop flipping between a bad UPN cop show and a stock WB sitcom."

Ballast (2008)

"As the movie comes into focus, you feel the lives of the characters echoing backward through time."

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)

"Kaos was apparently aiming for a coolly stylized, straight-faced take on Spy vs. Spy. As Maxwell Smart used to say, 'Missed it by that much.'"

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005)

"Dai Sijie has created a dreamy memory of hardship -- part familiar Chinese parable, part familiar French romance."

Bambi (1942)

Bamboozled (2000)

"Nothing Lee has done is as flashy or as mucked up as Bamboozled."

The Band's Visit (2007)

"Something marvelous happens as the filmmaker, in his first feature, expertly metes out small scenes of communication between people taught, for generations, to be wary of one another: This Band swings with the rhythms of hope."

Bandits (2001)

"A comedy that might have made Butch and Sundance jump off a cliff."

The Banger Sisters (2002)

"Dolman's directorial debut betrays his stars."

The Bank Job (2008)

"Watching The Bank Job, you buy the heist, and you also buy the entertaining layer cake of British society -- the black radicals, smut lords, and MI5 agents who treat cops like janitors, all fighting for their piece of the action."
