The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009) |
"...cowriter/producer Bernd Eichinger, who gave such depth to a much shorter historical period in "Downfall," here eventually loses his audience by refusing to streamline his cast and focus on a few significant events. It's a 10 part miniseries stuffed in" |

Babel (2006) |
"...while the pair's [Iñárritu and Arriaga] filmmaking skills cannot be denied, the film's emotional resonance is weakened by a feeling of repetition and cliche..." |

Bad Company (2002) |

Bad Education (2004) |

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"The film is both a police thriller and a drug addled fantasy with an iguana for a guide and Cage plays it like Hunter S. Thompson with a badge." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |

Bad Santa (2003) |
"Bad Santa is a movie for those who prefer their humor brutal. It's like Bad Lieutenant with holiday spirit - the anti-Elf.

Le Bal des Actrices (2009) |
"The film is amusing, the musical numbers inventive, but it is also self-indulgent and full of inside jokes. One wishes that Le Besco had aimed for some real truths along with sending up the cliches." |
