The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009) |
"There are plenty of suspect devices and home-made bombs duct-taped to alarm clocks here, but we never find out what makes their creators tick." |
Peter Bradshaw |
Splat 2/5 |
Babel (2006) |
"Well acted and handsomely photographed, but still extraordinarily overpraised and overblown, a middlebrow piece of near-nonsense: the kind of self-conscious arthouse cinema that is custom-tailored and machine-tooled for the dinner-party demographic." |

Babylon A.D. (2008) |
"You don't need to have a grudging affection for Vin Diesel to appreciate this dunderheaded comic-book adventure - although, obviously, it helps." |

Back To Normandy (2007) |

The Baker (2007) |
"The normally wonderful Kate Ashfield bags a supporting slot as Milo's love interest only to spend the film's climax ruthlessly gagged with a strip of gaffer tape. Given the state of the dialogue, this is probably for the best." |

Balls of Fury (2007) |
"This comedy raises the odd laugh, largely from an absurd appearance by Christopher Walken as a sinister martial-arts kingpin villain." |

The Band's Visit (2007) |
"A gentle, unpretentious comedy that posits a why-can't-we-just-get-along approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict." |

Bandslam (2009) |
"The movie's problem is the division of loyalties between these two female leads, which fatally divides and muddles the dramatic focus." |

Bangkok Dangerous (2001) |
"The Pangs' film is leavened with charming pathos and romance. This is a sure-footed, watchable film that lingers in the mind." |

Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
"There are some flashy sequences, which can't conceal the essential silliness and fatuity." |

The Banishment (2007) |
"I can't help feeling that this is a slight misstep from this director, and can't decide whether his film has at its centre a mystery or a muddle." |

Be Kind Rewind (2008) |

Beaufort (2008) |
"Despite the unremitting focus on the claustrophobia of outpost life, it's hard to ignore the by-now hoary tropes of the war movie with which Cedar litters his screenplay." |

Beautiful Losers (2008) |
"You can't help but feel like a bit of an eye-rolling parent, wondering if a few of them might benefit from a proper job and a light slap." |

A Beautiful Mind (2001) |

Beauty and the Beast (1991) |
"There's enough wit and ingenuity in Roger Allers's story and Howard Ashman and Alan Menken's songs to give the CGI whizzkids a run for their money." |

Because I Said So (2007) |

Becoming Jane (2007) |
"The very idea of Jane Austen with a broken heart may be thought vulgar and pedantic by her modern readers, and the way the story pans out is not convincing." |

Bedtime Stories (2008) |
"There's a surface liveliness to the movie, but it has that plasticky Disney quality and lack of real heart." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Bee Movie (2007) |
"What a treat to see a comedy that starts funny, is funny in the middle, and ends funny - unlike the usual Hollywood model in which all the humour is used up in the first act setting up the premise, and then winds down into sentimentality." |
