Tomato

Baghead (2008)

"Takes an ingenious -- and perhaps necessary -- shift into more accessible filmmaking. Okay, it's less of a shift than a sort of yawning amiable slouch, but you get my drift."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005)

"The performances may ultimately not be able to conquer the overpowering artiness of Miller's approach, but they do manage to render it somewhat less airless."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005)

"Manages big magic with a few simple elements."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Batman Begins (2005)

"Has a ball reinventing the mythos. Nolan's full-blooded, bleak-as-all-get-out reinterpretation of the Caped Crusader is so satisfying that it's a little scary."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Baxter (2005)

"Changeups are commendable and all, but Showalter may be guilty of playing too far from his strengths."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Beach Party at the Threshold of Hell (2006)

"The loopiest thing to come down the pike in many a year. Fans of What-the-F Cinema, get thee to the theater."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Best of Youth (2005)

"Works in the engrossing fashion of a good pulpy novel ... using whiskery melodramatic staples to digress into a whole slew of differing scenarios and moods."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Birth (2004)

"[Bears] all the hallmarks of a too-long-in-gestation pet project: over-planned, over-thought, and meticulously fussed-with to the point of stasis."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Born Into Brothels (2004)

"The glimpses we see of them and their all-too-knowing interactions with their hellish surroundings are somehow both too much, and not nearly enough."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Boss of it All (2007)

"An honestly charming, witty confection, with nary a martyred female or uncomfortable money shot to be found. [Von Trier's] gotta be up to something."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)

"Moves relentlessly, intelligently forward, as everything extraneous gets chucked over the side ... the picture thrums with an unbelievable amount of energy."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Boys Are Back (2009)

"So ravishing [looking], actually, that it severely diminishes the emotional beats of the narrative. How mopey can you be when you've got wallabies on your veranda?"

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Brick (2006)

"Things are played hard and fast and mean and lean ... [Levitt's] dogged, world-weary demeanor does the old-time gumshoes proud. So does this weird, glorious freak of a movie."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Bridge of San Luis Rey (2005)

"Whatever the intentions of novelist and filmmaker, having the audience root for the bridge probably wasn't one of them."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Bright Future (2004)

"No stranger to the bizarro social metaphor, [Kurosawa] somehow paints the film's title as honestly optimistic, winkingly ironic, and completely doom-laden at the same time."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Brothers (2005)

"The been-there, seen-that feeling is hard to shake, despite the undeniable skill in the presentation."

Andrew Wright
