Trouble with the Curve
To a batter, a great curveball is so obvious and so frustrating at the same time. Robert Lorenz’s Trouble with the Curve is much the same.

Bullhead
Roskam shows the most confidence when things are unsettling and different from the genre underworld in which the plot resides.

The Busher
A fascinating look at early baseball films and an un-perfected spin on something that has since gone on to be repeated countless times since.

Bottom of the Ninth
Although it might be a love story to baseball and the competitive spirit to win, it’s also redundant as a film when like footage and story lines can be found on any station that airs even a little bit of baseball.
The Boys: The Sherman Brothers’ Story
A fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary that charts not only a story of tremendous success but sibling rivalry as well.
Brewster McCloud
There is something delightful in the absurdity and chaos of the movie that kept my interest even as I struggled to pinpoint exactly what it was that I was watching.

Ball of Wax
In Daniel Kraus’ dark baseball film Ball of Wax, life on the diamond is clearly no longer a sport. It’s something sinister, like a virus refusing to let go of its host.

The Bad News Bears Go to Japan
So how much more can they get out of cussing kiddies playing baseball? Apparently an additional 91 minutes – 91 painful, horrendous, baseball-bat-to-the-crotch-three-times minutes.

The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training
The comedic value of kids talking like a bitter pirate with hemorrhoids and smoking [was] played out mid-way through the first film.
The Boys Are Back
Takes pain and loss and gives it a slightly glossy treatment that holds the drama but doesn’t quite get to the point of complete emotional puppetry.
