Babel (2006) |
"For all its apparent scope, the film's in-your-face fatalism ultimately feels forced. The cumulative effect is more grueling than cathartic, even if it may also be good for the soul." |

Baby Geniuses (1999) |
"Story? Who cares. Character development? That's for show-offs. Funny dialogue? Too hard to write. These babies can talk!!" |

Bad Company (2002) |
"This film, starring Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock, is your typical 'fish out of water' story. You've seen them a million times. Just one problem: Fish out of water usually die. This one does." |

Bamboozled (2000) |
"Glover is remarkable. His performances are fiery and charismatic, and the internal conflicts he brings to the blackface act are visible both in his acting and dancing performances." |

Bandits (2001) |
"It takes awhile before Bandits steals your heart, but once it gets rolling you'll fall in love with this off-beat comedic gem." |

Batman Begins (2005) |
"Bale, in his first venture into superhero status, hits just the right balance between Bruce's uncertainty and the intensity of his alter ego. Besides, Caine and Freeman elevate any project in which they appear." |

A Beautiful Mind (2001) |

Because I Said So (2007) |
"Recycling every cliche in the rom-com handbook, it's clear from the very first that Lehmann has sacrificed his characters on the altar of sappy endings. What a waste -- for everybody." |

Bedazzled (2000) |
"[Hurley and Fraser] make this film a whole lot better than it should have been." |

Behind Enemy Lines (2001) |

Beloved (1998) |
"This screeching, grotesque display of shattered human dignity is about as subtle as five or ten thousand kicks in the head from a mule, with the kicks getting exceedingly baroque as the movie progresses." |

Best in Show (2000) |

Blades of Glory (2007) |
