Tomato
3.5/4

Babel (2006)

"...once again Pitt has cast aside the exterior to bring out the character inside. A scene where he breaks down and sobs while talking to his son is heartbreaking."

Michael A. Smith

Splat
0/5

The Bad News Bears Go to Japan (1978)

"Why, Lord, why?"

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/5

Barton Fink (1991)

"Another great turn by the Coen brothers, with regulars Turturro and Goodman at their best."

Michael A. Smith

Splat
1/4

Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

"...a script that is so full of cliche's that I actually knew the end of the film 10 minutes before it ended."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3/5

Bat 21 (1988)

"Faithful adaptation of the book."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3.5/4

Batman Begins (2005)

"'The best action film of the summer, so far...'"

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

Be Cool (2005)

"'The Rock, who has already made a smooth transition from the wrestling ring to the big screen, almost steals the film.'"

Michael A. Smith

Splat
2/4

Because I Said So (2007)

"...appears to have been made from the parts of other films..."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3/4

Bee Movie (2007)

"Cleverly acted and beautifully rendered, "Bee Movie" is another animated triumph from the studio that brought us "Shrek.""

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)

"Lumet's "Network" earned an incredible five acting nominations come Oscar time (three wins) and I wouldn't be surprised to see "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" earn a solid four."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/5

Best of the Best (1989)

"I LOVE this movie. Bad sequels take away from the original."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3/4

Beyond the Sea (2004)

"'A film that celebrates a great talent taken away too soon, Beyond the Sea is sure to set your toes tapping.'"

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
5/5

Big (1988)

"Great performance by Hanks makes this a winner."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/5

Big Trouble in Little China (1986)

"Russell and Carpenter make a great team."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

The Black Dahlia (2006)

"Filled with atmosphere and attitude to spare, "The Black Dahlia" is film noir at it's finest."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3/4

Blades of Glory (2007)

"Ferrell is the rare screen comedian who doesn't mind sharing the wealth, and the laughs, with his co-stars, and here he has surrounded himself with some funny people."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

The Blind Side (2009)

"It is easily Bullocks best performance over a career that spans two decades."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

Blood Diamond (2006)

"Director Zwick and cinematographer Eduardo Serra ("Unbreakable") have managed to capture the vast beauty of Africa while maintaining a true sense of dread and horror that manages to take over the story."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/5

Blow Out (1981)

"One of Travlota's best performances. "Great scream.""

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

Bobby (2006)

"Robert Kennedy won the California Primary that night. History will show that he was shot moments after claiming victory, gunned down while walking through the kitchen of the Ambassador. However, with "Bobby," his message continues almost 40 years later."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
5/5

Body Heat (1981)

"Welcome to Hollywood Mr. Kasdan."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
2.5/4

Body of Lies (2008)

"High marks also to Strong, the almost overly polite leader of the Jordanian security forces. His soft spoken demeanor attempts to mask the furiousness of his convictions"

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3/5

The Bodyguard (1992)

"Serviceable story with Houston making an impressive film debut."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

Bolt (2008)

"With the holiday season officially underway, "Bolt" is the perfect present for the whole family."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3/5

Boomerang (1992)

"Remember one thing...........coordinate!"

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

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

"That Cohen never breaks character, no matter the situation, is a true testament to his comic genius. He and director Larry Charles ("Curb Your Enthusiasm") have created the funniest film since "Something About Mary," and believe me, that's a rave review."

Michael A. Smith

Splat
2/4

The Brave One (2007)

"And that brings us the bad stuff, heretofore known as the script. The story keeps on putting Erica in harm's way, so much that you're not sure why. I mean, would a woman alone really ride on the subway at night?"

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3/4

Breach (2007)

"An actor who excels at what I call "quiet strength," Cooper often says more with his eyes then with his mouth"

Michael A. Smith

Splat
2/4

The Break-Up (2006)

"..."The Break Up" may go down with "Fatal Attraction" as the worst "date" movie of all time."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/5

The Breakfast Club (1984)

"Anyone who has ever been to high school can relate to at least one of these kids."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
5/5

The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957)

"Did Lean ever make a bad film?"

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

Bruno (2009)

"Not since Lenny Bruce has a comedian pointed a spotlight on people with such observational precision."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
3.5/4

The Bucket List (2007)

"Adam and Eve. Lennon and McCartney. The Captain and Tenille. Just a few duos that managed to make a little magic when they got together. And now, for you're viewing pleasure, may I add the celebrated team of Jack and Morgan."

Michael A. Smith

Splat
2/4

Bug (2007)

"...you start to wonder what Friedkin has been doing for the past 30 years. From the look of "Bug," I'd have ventured not a darn thing."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/5

Bullets Over Broadway (1994)

"One of Allen's best. Don't speak!"

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/4

Burn After Reading (2008)

"...a comedy classic that can stand with "Raising Arizona," "Fargo" and "The Big Lebowski" as memorable."

Michael A. Smith

Tomato
4/5

Bye Bye Birdie (1963)

"Further proof Van Dyke was a true showman."

Michael A. Smith
