Tomato
3/4

Babel (2006)

"Finds a tense undercurrent (that) keeps us involved through the film's moderate pace and constant narrative shuffling."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

Baby Mama (2008)

"The year's first film that kept me laughing from end to end with intelligent and perceptive punch lines that don't aim for the broad side of a fraternity house."

Sean O'Connell

Splat
C-

Bad Education (2004)

"Paints vivid noir suspense with extremely broad brushstrokes, often pushing style to the forefront at the expense of story"

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

The Bank Job (2008)

"Bustles along to its central theft, then treads water until (it) can map a proper end game."

Sean O'Connell

Splat
1/4

Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

"Embarrassment, thy name is Basic Instinct 2."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

Be Kind Rewind (2008)

"corny, cool and beautiful"

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)

"Lumet moves Devil with a purpose, all the while maintaining a firm grip on his live-wire cocktail of guilt and paranoia."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3.5/4

Big Fan (2009)

"Wrings pain out of heartbreaking truths, and steamrolls to an unpredictable conclusion that's suspenseful, mildly coincidental, but gut-wrenchingly sad."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
2.5/4

Black Book (2007)

"Given his modest talents as a filmmaker, the first half of Book might represent the best Verhoeven can do."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
2.5/4

The Blind Side (2009)

"Recycles the charitable messages of other religion-based films, from "Facing the Giants" to "Fireproof," but presents them in an accessible, mainstream package."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

Blood Diamond (2006)

"A mainstream action adventure that happens to stand on a base of headline-grabbing current events."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

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

"Has huge laughs."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

Born Into Brothels (2004)

"Wears the confidence of a well-planned feature."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

The Brave One (2007)

"An unapologetic genre picture powered by a pair of honest performances that plucks our emotional strings and races our pulses."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

The Break-Up (2006)

"Every bit as unpleasant as it sounds. But the film's intentions are to examine a separation, and the story achieves its set goals."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
B

Bride and Prejudice (2005)

"Faithfully adapts Jane Austen’s (work) without sacrificing any of the frivolous joy that infects most Bollywood productions."

Sean O'Connell

Splat
2/4

Bright Star (2009)

"Plays by the strict and proper rules of the period genre, resulting in a predominantly frigid and impersonal love story."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

Brokeback Mountain (2005)

"Lingered with me for days, though more for its noteworthy performances and breathtaking cinematography than for its divisive same-sex subject matter."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

Brothers (2009)

"Sheds some of the original's impact. But the emotional currents remain so charged that you won't need a translator to understand the heartache conveyed on screen."

Sean O'Connell

Tomato
3/4

The Brothers Bloom (2009)

"Follows an offbeat path to reach that destination, and most will enjoy the journey."

Sean O'Connell

Splat
1.5/4

The Brothers Grimm (2005)

"Hardly memorable at all."

Sean O'Connell
