Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       3/4      Baadasssss! (2004)      "Polarizing and potentially galvanizing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Baby Doll (1956)      "The movie hasn't aged a day in fifty years." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Baby It's You (1983)      "A peculiarly absorbing and sticky film, Baby, It's You is all the more so for its relative uniqueness in Sayles' oeuvre." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Backyard Dogs (2000)      "You know you're in trouble when the title of your movie comes from a moment in which a character steps on a pile of dog excrement." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Bad Boys II (2003)      "A reptilian collage of seething that stands as possibly the most misanthropic, nihilistic, exploitative, hopeless film ever released as a mainstream blockbuster." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Bad News Bears (2005)      "Often a shot-for-shot redux--the worst kind of cover song." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Bad Santa (2003)      "Populist capitulation ironically results in a product not broadly redemptive, but particularly irredeemable." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Bad Seed (1956)      "Wrung to the point of unwatchable by meandering monologues and slow reveals." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Badge (2002)      "That Thornton transcends the material time and again is ultimately just the type of thing that shines light on the need for the material to be transcended." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Baise Moi (2001)      "Only Baise-moi's pedagogy is well defined and strident." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005)      "Day-Lewis brings the picture closer, by himself, to the ballad of its title than to the dirge it constantly threatens to be." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)      "It hopes to obscure its awfulness with its volume and, failing that, it hopes to dress up its stupidity with backlit shots of a woman communing with a captive manatee." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Band's Visit (2007)      "The laughter, I think, comes from a recognition of the shape of our own regrets." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Bandits (2001)      "A cross between Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, Bonnie & Clyde, and director Barry Levinson's own Rain Man" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Bandolero! (1968)      "One of those movies you can't remember if you've seen until well into its first hour." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Bang the Drum Slowly (1973)      "Another one of those films better remembered than revisited." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004)      "Even when it falters, Barbershop 2 is sharp and hilarious." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Basic (2003)      "The good news is that at 95 minutes, it's really short." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Basic Instinct 2 (2006)      "Stone's vampy, thumb-on-the-turntable performance is the most hideous bit of creaky past-prime tarting-about since Mae West was dropping the same dusty come-ons." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Batman Begins (2005)      "It's all about fear and loathing, this high profile, big-budget product of a post-millennial United States--and it's about as good as it gets." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Baxter (2005)      "His party-of-one status is a result entirely of his own noxiousness." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Be My Star (2001)      "A painful portrait of that confused liminal period between childhood and sexual maturity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Beach Boys - Double Feature: An American Band/ Brian Wilson - I Just Wasn't Made For These Times (1986)      "All intuitive juxtaposition, and brilliant." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005)      "Takes an excellent film that was very much a part of its time and place and re-imagines it as an excellent film that is very much a part of this time and this place." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Beautiful Country (2005)      "For what works, credit Moland--a brilliant director who doesn't need this coattail." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      A Beautiful Mind (2001)      "A play for the fickle attentions of middlebrow moviegoers looking for an easy cause they can champion." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Beauty Shop (2005)      "More than just racial slapstick and cheap Maya Angelou jokes." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Because I Said So (2007)      "It's hard to find a more stalwart movie monster in the last ten years than Keaton, who's gone from a charming neurotic to a cobwebbed, cell-phone-wielding vagina dentata." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Bedlam (1946)      "Lewton had something to say. Perhaps inevitably, he found less interesting ways of saying it over the course of nine films in a short four years." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Bee Movie (2007)      "Never funny, never meaningful, never coherent, never animated." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Bee Season (2005)      "Asked to spell "solipsistic" at one point, I felt sure she was going to say "B-E-E-S-E-A-S-O-N."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Before Sunset (2004)      "There's not much on the surface, for sure, but its undertow is seductive and ferocious." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Behind Enemy Lines (2001)      "The film is an exhausting collection of airplane CGI Firefox-style and heroic slow-motion establishing shots with shutter-staggered sprints through minefields." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Beijing Bicycle (2002)      "The work of a maturing filmmaker, one who marries causes that matter with a sober melancholy and an admirable restraint." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Being Julia (2004)      "Some kind of klutzy pre-Blitz version of The First Wives Club." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Being There (1979)      "a product not of Ashby's essential modesty but of Kosinski's essential egoism." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Believer (2002)      "A sham construct based on theory, sleight-of-hand, and ill-wrought hypothesis." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Best of Youth (2005)      "It maintains a defiant optimism that the actions of individuals matter." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Better Luck Tomorrow (2003)      "The picture's relative uniqueness is what intrigues and compels, marking Better Luck Tomorrow as important, if not ultimately entirely successful." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Bewitched (2005)      "You're likely to want to pluck out your eyeballs." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Beyond Borders (2003)      "Reason enough why the rest of the world just hates America's guts." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Beyond Re-Animator (2003)      "On the bright side, Yuzna brings back special effects maestro Screaming Mad George." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Beyond the Sea (2004)      "It lacks passion and joy, replacing them both with something that smells a lot like mid-life crisis." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Big Bad Love (2002)      "Trailer park Magnolia: too long, too cutesy, too sure of its own importance, and possessed of that peculiar tension of being too dense & about nothing at all." [short review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Big Bounce (2004)      "The picture is thus misogynistic enough to be a Michael Bay film, but it's not nearly as exciting." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Big Fat Liar (2002)      "Any film that can survive cameos from Urkel, Screech, and Lee Majors (answering to "Grandpa" and "Father Time") relatively intact deserves credit." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Big Fish (2003)      "In love with telling tales and the transplant heart of the United States." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       --      Big Man, Little Love (2001)      Click here to see the review! [short review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Big Sleep (1946)      "Tribes of monkeys doing monkey things, albeit things related to the perforation of the flesh: murder and blood and sweat and sex." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Big Store (1941)      "The kind of movie that takes you about an hour to figure out that you've already seen it. If you last an hour." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
