Tomato 8/10
Babel (2006)
"I can understand why Babel is up for so many Oscars®--it is elegantly written and shot, and harrowing to watch. The suffering each character experiences is palpable, gritty, and realistic."
Heather Huntington
Splat 6/10
Baby Mama (2008)
"For such a talented cast Baby Mama unfortunately misses the mark."
Jeff Otto
Splat 4/10
Balls of Fury (2007)
"All the funniest moments were in the trailer -- and the trailer wasn't funny."
Thomas Leupp
Tomato 7/10
The Bank Job (2008)
"The Bank Job might just be the most preposterous heist film ever made. And yet, with a few liberties here and there, most of it really did happen."
Splat 5/10
Because I Said So (2007)
"Because I Said So isn't very funny, and no amount of having Diane Keaton act all post-menopausally zany is going to create the tension that just isn't there."
Tomato 6/10
Becoming Jane (2007)
"Director Julian Jarrold (Kinky Boots) struck a unique and lovely tone, managing to maintain a conventional Merchant-Ivory type look but successfully infusing it with some rather modern humor--Hathaway and McAvoy verbally sparring like an 18th century Trac"
Bee Movie (2007)
"While it may not be on par with the works of Pixar, Bee Movie is still a breezy, affable, family-friendly romp."
The Black Dahlia (2006)
"An array of talent is wasted on this muddled adaptation."
Black Sheep (2007)
"Clever and funny enough to compensate for the occasional comedic airballs."
Blood Diamond (2006)
"From the first moments of the movie, director Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai, Courage Under Fire) establishes that Blood Diamond will not show the idealized Africa of lions and safaris you're used to."
The Brave One (2007)
"They're trotting it around at all the festivals trying to distract everyone from how bad it is."
Breach (2007)
"Breach is subtle, intense, and shows a great understanding of what a movie like this should be."
Bridge to Terabithia (2007)
"The Bridge to Terabithia is chockablock with some terrible child acting--especially on the part of the supporting cast."
Broken English (2007)
"Broken English surprised me all around: I didn't expect to be particularly impressed with it, and instead it turns out to be not only one of my favorite films I've see this year, but it will probably earn a spot in the all-time annals for me."
Splat 3/10
Brooklyn Rules (2007)
"Should you see this '80s mafia drama? Fugeddaboudit."
The Bucket List (2007)
"Great performances by two of the best highlight Reiner's best work in years."
Burn After Reading (2008)
"If you're into the Coens brand of sardonic humor showcased in the likes of Fargo, O Brother Where Art Thou? and The Hudsucker Proxy then this should be right up you're ally."
