Balls of Fury (2007) |
"Thank god somebody remembers how to do comedy. It's really simple. If you're doing really silly things, you have to play them totally straight. That's the only way it works." |

The Bank Job (2008) |
"This banal nonaction story is Jason Statham's Raw Deal or Boiling Point." |

Because I Said So (2007) |
"Though it is far from perfect, I'm giving it a pass... once you get a little distance from the pandering, the movie kind of takes off." |

Bee Movie (2007) |
"It's still the Dreamworks model of big, recognizable voices playing their personas, but this time it's an actual movie too. They wait a while to unload all the major pop culture references." |

Tomato |
Beerfest (2006) |
"The tone of Beerfest is like South Park if they did an episode only about the adults in South Park... Even real German actors put on ridiculous accents." |

Beowulf (2007) |
"Even the heaving bosom looks clunky." |

Black Dynamite (2009) |
"The climax is so outrageous I can't believe it. The ending outdoes Inglourious Basterds because it's not even about making a statement. It's just about being crazy, which is what awesome movies should be." |

Black Snake Moan (2007) |
"There's just nowhere to go. They start talking about their feelings and being the healing process, and it's like Dr. Phil." |

"It may be ice, but Will Ferrell is on fire. That's right, I said it." |

The Blind Side (2009) |
"I believe the real Leigh Anne Tuohy did a wonderful, selfless thing and I told her so when I interviewed her. She deserves a better movie to be made about her." |

Blood Diamond (2006) |
"It all feels like Hollywood pathos... It's the sign of a filmmaker that doesn't really have anything to say, so he just shows some tragedy and lets his actors cry about it." |
Fred Topel |
Tomato |
Blood: The Last Vampire (2009) |
"As good as any Hollywood movie, which is to say it's got lousy visual effects and generic dialogue. Since we're already forgiving that anyway, there's enough engaging action to make it plenty fun and entertaining." |

Body of Lies (2008) |
"That Ridley Scott guy, he directs things pretty good." |

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) |
"A relentless comedy extravaganza. He milks existing situations for the maximum comedy potential and creates comedy where there would otherwise be none... He's like Yakov Smirnoff on crack." |

The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) |
"The espionage is great. Surveillance dodging scenes are more exciting than the most outrageous action sequences, and everyone talking in codes, testing each other and lying keeps the audience guessing." |

The Brave One (2007) |
"It's entertaining but it's certainly not the essay on violence it purports to be... At least it's not boring. Whenever you see a scumbag, at least you know she's going to shot him in the face." |

Breach (2007) |
"It feels like a taut spy thriller, the intellectual answer to The Bourne Identity." |

Bridge to Terabithia (2007) |
"Pan's Labyrinth for kids... such a story can be just as powerful without the gore and war." |

Bruno (2009) |
"The second hour of Bruno is a laugh out loud satire that will make the world a better place. That's what we want from Sacha Baron Cohen... Lots of people do funny. I'm glad he still transcended and took the bad people of the world down a peg."" |

The Bucket List (2007) |
"It's Grumpy Old Cancer Victims." |

Burn After Reading (2008) |
"The overall tone I like the filmmakers saying, 'Yeah, we did that. That just happened. You saw it. It's stupid but we don't care.' They just keep letting it roll from being innocently dirty at times to farcical and referential." |

The Burning Plain (2009) |
"I'll give it one thing though. This may be serious Charlize, but at least she still shows her boobies." |
