Black Snake Moan (2007) |

Blades of Glory (2007) |
""Blades of Glory" sets the stage for outrageous cheesiness from its opening shot when a beautiful four-year-old orphan dressed in a cheap hand-knit body suit skates implausibly well to the tune of Andrea Bocelli's "Con Te Partiro."" |

Blood Diamond (2006) |

Breach (2007) |
