Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh	Fresh 90%	District 9 (2009)	" *Peter Jackson let Neil Blomkamp make his Bad Taste* but with all of Jackson's expensive toys.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Sep 9, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 18%	Dance Flick (2009)	" The best Wayans movie since the first Scary Movie. The Wayans' are in top form taking the benchmarks of dance movies to an extreme degree. They can't keep it up, but it remains a solid satire with more to say than many quickie knock-offs." — Can Magazine Posted May 23, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 92%	Drag Me To Hell (2009)	" He's not reinventing the genre, but he doesn't have to. He already did that once, and now he's just doing what he's good at. His era of in your face outrageousness didn't last long enough as far as I'm concerned." — Can Magazine Posted May 22, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 13%	Dragonball: Evolution (2009)	" *It's this generation's Surf Ninjas, and if you remember that at all then you know what I mean." — Can Magazine* Posted Apr 9, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 78%	Doubt (2008)	" Objectively good, but that doesn't mean I enjoy it. I mean, woo hoo, debating suspicions of pedophilia in the Catholic church!" — Can Magazine Posted Dec 12, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 43%	Death Race (2008)	" It's oddly satisfying, even though it does everything wrong." — Can Magazine Posted Aug 22, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 94%	The Dark Knight (2008)	" Everything you would want to see in a movie... I wanted to applaud after every scene Heath Ledger performed... features Batman's most wonderful toys yet." — Can Magazine Posted Jul 18, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 26%	Drillbit Taylor (2008)	" *I don't mind Drillbit Taylor* but why was I watching it? Oh yeah, I get paid to.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Mar 21, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 78%	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	" It's metaphysically literal, or literally metaphysical." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 14, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 72%	Definitely, Maybe (2008)	" *At least it's a narrative device with a mystery. It's How I Met Your Mother, but still." — Can Magazine* Posted Feb 14, 2008
Fresh	Fresh 64%	Dan in Real Life (2007)	" The film portrays how good will is much harder to handle than evil." — Can Magazine Posted Oct 26, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 67%	The Darjeeling Limited (2007)	" Here's another Wes Anderson movie. I say that with all due respect." — Can Magazine Posted Sep 28, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 43%	December Boys (2007)	" A coming of age story for Dummies. It packs in the schmaltz and spells out all the life lessons in case you weren't paying attention. It's not unwatchable, but I certainly wasn't in the mood that day." — Can Magazine Posted Sep 14, 2007
Rotten	Fresh 63%	Death at a Funeral (2007)	" I'm all for a good poop joke but just getting pooped on isn't itself funny. Especially when they spend the whole movie setting up the old guy and he needs help with the bathroom. Might as well send a telegraph." — Can Magazine Posted Aug 17, 2007
Fresh 2/4	Rotten 1%	Daddy Day Camp (2007)	" Well, what did anyone expect Daddy Day Camp to be?" — Hollywood.com Posted Aug 8, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 81%	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	" There is more carnage in this movie than in any R-rated film I can remember. Really, PG-13 is the new R. They play a sound effect over the MF but you know what he's saying." — Can Magazine Posted Jun 26, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 34%	DOA: Dead or Alive (2007)	" Like Mortal Kombat with more exposition... They've already got the tight, muscular bodies glistening with sweat, rain and various forms of mist, kicking ass in their underwear... So why so much story?" — Can Magazine Posted Jun 15, 2007
Fresh 3/5	Fresh 67%	Disturbia (2007)	" *May not make kids rent Rear Window* but it's still better than the Christopher Reeve remake where they never even revealed where the killer hid the body.*" — Hollywood.com* Posted Apr 13, 2007
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 25%	Daddy's Little Girls (2007)	" Almost a real movie." — Hollywood.com Posted Feb 14, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 78%	Dreamgirls (2006)	" *This year's King Kong, a reminder of what lavish studio productions can be. It's Motown meets Broadway in Hollywood, full of energy and moving emotions." — Can Magazine* Posted Dec 15, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 6%	Deck the Halls (2006)	" *The quintessential Hollywood Christmas movie. It's Grumpy Old Christmas." — Can Magazine* Posted Nov 21, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 57%	Deja Vu (2006)	" *It's Rear Window* with a modern techno twist.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Nov 21, 2006
Rotten	Fresh 92%	The Departed (2006)	" There should be so many interesting dilemmas, but like the original Infernal Affairs, it muddles in standard mob deals and police investigations, nothing you can't see on any handful of TV shows. Why not give each side some painful decisions to mak" — Can Magazine Posted Oct 5, 2006
Rotten	Fresh 84%	The Descent (2006)	" It's never a good idea for B movies to try to evoke feeling for their monster fodder characters. It's enough if you just don't hate the people... The actors are most convincing when they're just screaming." — Can Magazine Posted Aug 4, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 24%	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	" Takes itself way too seriously to be taken seriously." — Can Magazine Posted May 18, 2006
N/A	Rotten 24%	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	" The Da Vinci Code tells us all the interesting Da Vinci history in long passages of dialogue. Will Tom Hanks be breaking out his laser pointer to keep us up to speed?" — About.com Posted Feb 25, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 22%	Dirty (2005)	" While I have no doubt that real corrupt cops use language like this, it sounds like these actors don't actually know what the words mean. They sound like eighth graders... like Anthony Anderson and Taye Diggs in Malibu's Most Wanted pretending not" — About.com Posted Feb 23, 2006
Rotten	Rotten 19%	Domino (2005)	" I don�t know what they think is the effect of hearing lines repeated immediately. I don�t know what they think is the effect of hearing lines repeated immediately." — About.com Posted Oct 14, 2005
N/A	Rotten 10%	Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)	" Celebrity Interview - Despite the character of a woman with a penis for a nose and another woman covered in feces, Rob Schneider says there are some lines he won�t cross." — FilmStew.com Posted Aug 12, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 10%	Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)	" It�s so wrong at times, like the throat hole, but they milk it to the point of exploiting hiccups, so they�re not relying on the easy jokes. They work for it." — About.com Posted Aug 12, 2005
Rotten	Rotten 14%	The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)	" *I really didn�t mind Dukes of Hazzard. It�s just a whole movie of almost getting somewhere but staying a little bit behind." — About.com* Posted Aug 4, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 55%	The Devil's Rejects (2005)	" *One of the most unpleasant movies I've ever seen. I respect it for that... Makes Natural Born Killers* look like Harry Potter.*" — About.com* Posted Jul 21, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 46%	Dark Water (2005)	" Pretty much follows the formula of Japanese horror, but at least it does it with some involvement in the story." — About.com Posted Jul 7, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 86%	Duel (1971)	Click here to read article — MovieWeb Posted May 16, 2005
Rotten	Rotten 40%	D.E.B.S. (2005)	" The film can�t even get a spit take right... The montages don�t even follow the Trey Parker rules... They obviously reshoot the same sets without even redressing them." — About.com Posted Mar 24, 2005
Fresh	Fresh 69%	Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)	" This is not a stupid comedy. A comedy with this many elements has to be smartly structured and blended." — About.com Posted Jun 17, 2004
Fresh	Rotten 45%	The Day After Tomorrow (2004)	" *The best environmentalist action movie since Steven Seagal's On Deadly Ground." — About.com* Posted May 27, 2004
