James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"Dramatic-thriller mix of the personal and the political makes John Malkovich's directorial debut good; Xavier Bardem's performance makes it great." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Dangerous Liaisons (1988) |
"Stephen Frears' direction is superb -- the design and lighting evoke simultaneous worlds of privilege and squalor, and while the nature of day-to-day life in 18th century France becomes readily apparent, it never becomes distracting." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 2/5 |
Daredevil (2003) |
"A minor-league Marvel hero gets a big-star film treatment that will appeal to action junkies ... and leave a broader audience cold." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"L.A. cop-and-corruption drama set against the Rodney King verdicts is an uninspiring morass of been-there, seen-that material." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Dark Star (1974) |

Darkman (1990) |
"Simultaneously funny and thrilling." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dawn of the Dead (1978) |
"It's a lot smarter than its appearance suggests, and Romero completely sucks you into a story that's wholly engrossing and epic in its apocalyptic ambitions and scope." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"Thoroughly modern remake of 1978 B-movie classic is surprisingly smart and delivers zombie-tastic action-horror thrills." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 2/5 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"Roland Emmerich's global warming disaster flick is big, dumb and flat, but hard to really hate." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 5/5 |
Dazed and Confused (1993) |

James Rocchi |
Splat 2/5 |
De-Lovely (2004) |

Deep Cover (1992) |

The Devil's Advocate (1997) |
"The worst thing about The Devil's Advocate is how it squanders the little chance that it had to be a truly creepy and engaging film." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) |
"Sloppy, insipid mishmash of female empowerment, Christian thought and gun-and-weed jokes is an early front-runner for Worst Film of 2005." |

DIG! (2004) |
"Indie doc tracing indie rock bands boils down two bands, eight years, thousands of fans and infinite ambition into 105 minutes of standout filmmaking." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dirty Harry (1971) |
"Dirty Harry was the original rogue tough-guy cop film, and while years of imitation, emulation and outright mockery have chipped away at the archetype, it's still fascinating to observe in its original form." |
