Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"Leave it to Werner Herzog to shoot a film in New Orleans with not one image of the French Quarter %u2013 and to harness Nicolas Cage's Razzie-worthy acting into something meaningful." |

Baghead (2008) |
"An extended navel gaze." |

Balls of Fury (2007) |
"You know the feeling you get from the Apatow comedies that the people who made them are really trying to do their best? Balls of Fury has the opposite feeling, as if everything was just "good enough"." |

Bart Got a Room (2009) |
"A feather-light trifle." |
Keith Uhlich |
Splat B- |
Battle for Terra (2009) |
"When the title has the first two syllables of the word 'terrible' in it, there are opportunities to take pot shots. Battle For Terra is a flawed film, but it is not a failure." |
Jordan Hoffman |
Tomato A- |
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007) |
"Suspense and action would be enough to seal this film, but the feeling of dread, that under different circumstances this could be us, makes this a heist picture for the ages." |

Big Fan (2009) |
"It is a fabulous "What If?" and Siegel's screenplay squeezes drama out of every possible story permutation." |

The Black Dahlia (2006) |
"You have to wonder just how vibrant the film would have been during the Reagan or Clinton administration, when De Palma was in his prime." |

Tomato B+ |
Black Dynamite (2009) |
"If you revel just a tiny bit in the 'blaxploitation' genre, then Black Dynamite is a sweet stew of shut-yo'-mouth that'll keep you loaded with glee for its apt 90 minutes." |

Black Sheep (2007) |
"Starts off great, ends up merely not baaaaaaaa-d." |

Black Snake Moan (2007) |
"You have to throw all reason and logic out the window and just feel the groove this movie's laying down." |

Blades of Glory (2007) |
"Definitely pushes the envelope of crotch jokes and slapstick humor, but there are enough completely original bits that work to recommend it." |
Brian Tallerico |
Splat |
Blood and Chocolate (2007) |
"So little happens in Blood and Chocolate that it almost serves as a cautionary tale about traveling to Romania - even if you're a werewolf, you're going to be sullen and boring." |
Brian Tallerico |
Splat |
Blood Diamond (2006) |
"It's a film about exploitation that sometimes feels like it IS exploitation and is only going to leave you frustrated." |
Brian Tallerico |
Tomato 7/10 |
Bolt (2008) |
"I'm never a big fan of animal films and I admit it's because, though I am by no means a crier, pets losing their friends or getting lost gets me all choked up. Frankly, it's embarrassing. But if you can make me sniffle, you've won me over. Bolt...sniff" |

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) |

Bottle Shock (2008) |
"In light of all its swooping and swishing helicopter shots of the sun-dappled Napa Valley, [it] might as well have been photographed from the bridge of the Starship Enterprise." |

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) |
"Greengrass gives audiences a contact high from his visual flair alone and proves that he's one of the more interesting and entertaining directors working today, no matter what the genre." |
Brian Tallerico |
Tomato B+ |
The Box (2009) |
"The first forty-five minutes does stay straightforward and (in the best possible sense of the word) conventional. Then all kinds of crazy break out." |

The Brave One (2007) |
"It can never seem to decide if it's escapist action or social commentary and, as a result, it never commits to either." |

Tomato 7/10 |
Bruno (2009) |
"Unless you are really, really, really, really difficult to offend, you will be upset by something in this film. Seriously, count the "really"s. Do the math. Prepare yourself. Sacha Baron Cohen does not pull punches. If you were disturbed by BORAT, you are" |

Bruno (2009) |
"I don't know if there are any comedians working today as fully dedicated to a joke as Sacha Baron Cohen." |

Burn After Reading (2008) |
"It's surely old-hat by now to note the writer/directors' pervasive condescension and smugness, a criticism I don't think always holds true, especially when the Brothers more fully explore, e.g. The Man Who Wasn't There, their no less ubiquitous spi" |
