Babel (2006) |
"Has an unwelcome sense of self-importance and heavy-handedness." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |

Bad Santa (2003) |
"A pleasant bit of bittersweet candy. It should be approached only by those whose tastes run that way, but connoisseurs of such finery will find it pretty @&*%@ delectable." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Baghead (2008) |
"A blast of fresh air. It has warmth and innovation, and the mischievous good sense to subtly make fun of the type of film that it is." |

Bait (2000) |
"Foxx is a talented performer, and he has a charm about him. But this mix of comedy and action doesn't blend well, and he can't pull it off." |

Balls of Fury (2007) |
"An Enter the Dragon parody? Really? Did it take 34 years to come up with a really good premise?" |
Eric D. Snider |

Balseros (2002) |
"Here are a handful of fairly ordinary people who happen to be from a crippled island with a deteriorating economy, who earn our sympathy just by being themselves." |

The Band's Visit (2007) |
"The film's sweetness, simplicity, and sincerity are hard to overstate, and probably impossible not to like." |

Bandits (2001) |
"No journey with Bruce Willis, Billy Bob Thornton and Cate Blanchett could ever be too unpleasant, especially with each one performing so admirably well." |

Baptists at our BBQ (2006) |
"It's an amiable film, kind of funny in places, not too irritating when it's not funny, and it passes the time pleasantly (if blandly)." |

Batman Begins (2005) |
"This is a movie I can get behind, a scary, exhilarating flurry of conflicting ideals, dark heroes, darker villains and good old-fashioned bang-up action." |

Battle for Terra (2009) |
"The technical quality would have been terrific 10 years ago but looks cheap now, and while the basic story has potential, the execution is mediocre." |

The Baxter (2005) |

Beaufort (2008) |

The Beautiful Country (2005) |

Splat D+ |
Beauty Shop (2005) |
"This is the very picture of bland, uncreative filmmaking, and the fact that it was made by African-Americans is just a further example of the tragedy of black-on-black crime." |
