Breakfast at Tiffany's

The trajectories traversed by the careers of certain directors can be strange and unfathomable things. Take Blake Edwards, for example. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Edwards was an A-list filmmaker with a string of impressive titles on his ...

Breakfast Club, The

When it comes to movies, there are two things that the early-to-mid-1980s are best known for: slasher films and teen comedies. While the former category was hard-pressed to give birth to a vaguely watchable entry, quality was widely variable in...

Brian and Charles

Watching Brian and Charles, I was stuck by an unassailable sense of déjà vu. The conversations between Brian (David Earl) and Charles (Chris Hayward) bear a startling resemblance to those I have with my 2 ½-year old daughter - exasperation coll...

Bride Wars

This movie gave me a headache. Okay, maybe that's an unfair charge to lay at its feet but the fact is that when I walked into the theater, I was fine and when I walked out I had a throbbing pain between my temples. And Bride Wars is the kind of m...

Bridesmaids

One of the positive qualities often attributed to movies in which Judd Apatow claims involvement (here, he's listed as a producer) is that, beneath all the raunchiness and profanity, lies a core of sweetness. It's the Tootsie Pop philosophy of R-ra...

Bridget Jones' Diary

Bridget Jones's Diary is, quite simply, the finest motion picture released by Miramax Films since 1999's The Cider House Rules. Based on the novel by Helen Fielding, the screenplay for Bridget Jones's Diary (written by Four Weddings and a Funeral ...

Bridget Jones's Baby

It would be fair to characterize Bridget Jones’s Baby as a huge step up from the previous Bridget Jones outing, 2004’s The Edge of Reason, although it’s not quite in the same league as 2001’s Bridget Jones’s Diary. Why w...

Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason

Bridget Jones' Diary was an unexpected delight: a witty, enjoyable trifle that touched the heart while tickling the funny bone. Sadly, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason isn't anywhere close to being that good. This has the feel of a movie that e...

Brigsby Bear

An indie film with a lot to say, Brigsby Bear can be accused of a lot of things, but lack of ambition isn’t among them. For his feature debut, Good Neighbor comedy troupe founder and SNL segment director Dave McCary has swung for the fences a...

Broken Flowers

Broken Flowers shows the kind of offbeat spin that a quirky independent director like Jim Jarmusch can put on a Hollywood standby: the road picture. Using equal parts understated drama and comedy, Jarmusch takes us on a trip through the present to...
