Babe (1995) |
"It has a surprising charm." |

Babel (2006) |
"If Babel were a football game, I'd flag it 15 yards for piling on. Others may want to give it an Oscar. To each his own." |

Tomato |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"Baby Mama is formulaic, but this broad odd-couple girl comedy has the advantage of knowing what it is." |

Barton Fink (1991) |
"Again the Coens take familiar movie tropes and twist them into something new. This may be their most haunting movie." |

Becoming Jane (2007) |
"The movie goes down easy, but there's a thin line here: is this an homage or a parasite?" |
David Ansen |
Tomato |
Bee Movie (2007) |
"What I like about Bee Movie is its comfy, off-the-cuff charm: unlike a lot of animated family entertainment, it's not all Thwack Smash Kaboom." |
David Botti |

Being John Malkovich (1999) |

Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008) |

Blades of Glory (2007) |
"The sheer dreamy silliness of Will Ferrell’s new comedy, Blades of Glory, carries it for a remarkably long time. Even after the movie starts recycling ideas and turns formulaic with an overextended chase sequence, it’s impossible to dislike." |
John Hartl |
Tomato |
The Blair Witch Project (1999) |
"Heather's shaky video work can induce motion sickness -- it looks like combat footage as she bolts through the woods -- but just try turning away." |

Blood Diamond (2006) |
"It all pays off in the second half, as the characters are fleshed out in ways that didn’t at first seem possible. The actors go beyond playing types and enter the world of three-dimensional people." |
John Hartl |
Tomato |
Bloody Sunday (2002) |
"Watching director Paul Greengrass's explosive Bloody Sunday, you have to remind yourself at moments that you're not looking at a documentary." |

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) |
"The backlash just proves how deep a nerve the faux Kazakh journalist has hit." |

Tomato |
The Bourne Ultimatum (2007) |
"It's bravura filmmaking in the jittery, handheld, frenetically edited Paul Greengrass style." |

Braveheart (1995) |

Jack Kroll |

Breach (2007) |
"A wonderfully taut cat-and-mouse thriller. It features a performance by Chris Cooper, as the eccentric, contradictory Hanssen, that ought to be remembered as one of the year's best come December." |

Brideshead Revisited (2008) |
"There's room for more than one Brideshead in this far less glamorous day and age." |

Burn After Reading (2008) |
"Burn After Reading is a blackly comic illustration of Murphy's Law, set in the Washington world of CIA espionage, and populated with a cast of delusional dunces who are a wonder to behold." |
