The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"For all the hype surrounding the film adaptation of Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code the movie is surprisingly typical.
" |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"As complicated and turtle-slow as any picture you’re likely to see, and there’s no emotional or intellectual payoff to reward the viewers who struggle to keep up." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato A+ |
Dances with Wolves (1990) |
"Whether it’s worthwhile to invest in the new two-DVD collection depends on one’s admiration for the original film. . . . My film library now stocks both titles, and I’m not planning on discarding either." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato B+ |
Daredevil (2003) |
"Writer-director Mark Steven Johnson was an unlikely choice for a big-budget superhero feature like Daredevil,” but he proved perfect for the job." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato B |
Daredevil Vs. Spider-Man (2002) |
"This is definite guilty-pleasure material . . . but if you don’t mind acting like a kid for a couple of hours, dig in and have a good time." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat D |
The Dark Crystal (1982) |
"Comes off as an overblown puppet show." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato B |
Dark Passage (1947) |
"Annoying but fun." |
Mark Robison |
Tomato B |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"Darkness Falls banks on the type of psychological thrills that made old-fashioned horror films a hoot." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat C |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"Nothing fresh or interesting, and it's not scary after the opening scene." |
Mark Robison |
Tomato A- |
Day for Night (1973) |
"A treat for movie lovers." |
Mark Robison |
Splat 2/4 |
Day Watch (2007) |
"Somewhere around the 45-minute mark the film transforms from cool-and-atmospheric thriller to indecipherable mess." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato 3/5 |
Deliverance (1972) |
No article available. |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Derailed (2005) |
"Derailed's primary strength -- a topsy turvy plot that will keep viewers guessing -- is also its main weakness. While the story developments are exciting and often surprising, most are based on [Clive Owen's character] making the stupidest possible" |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat C+ |
Desperado (1995) |
"Desperado has merit as a guilty pleasure, but when the violence and action grow tiresome, the film has nothing to hang its hat on." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato B |
The Diary of a Country Priest (1950) |
"Amazing direction but there are better stories of tested faith." |
Mark Robison |
Splat 1/5 |
Die Hard 3: Die Hard With a Vengeance (1995) |
"So concerned with bigness that it forgets to thrill." |
Mark Robison |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Dirty Pretty Things (2003) |
"When good people find themselves in bad situations, the drama is inherent, and in Stephen Frears’ Dirty Pretty Things, it’s also intense and nonstop." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato B+ |
Dirty Pretty Things (2003) |
"A quirky, gritty look at life in the London underworld where immigrants work crappy jobs and trade kidneys for citizenship." |
Mark Robison |
Tomato 3/4 |
District B13 (2006) |
"In his feature directing debut, cinematographer Pierre Morel has delivered an adrenaline-packed picture that sold its brains to the devil in exchange for spectacular fight and chase scenes." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat C+ |
Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002) |
"You would expect Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood to sizzle. That makes it all the more disappointing when it doesn’t." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat C+ |
Le Divorce (2003) |
"It's difficult to find a character to connect with." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato B |
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004) |
"It never gets old watching someone take a dodgeball to the noggin." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat 2/4 |
Dogville (2003) |
"Fails to meet the expectations of its own conceit." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Don't Come Knocking (2006) |
"Potential filmgoers should read the title carefully. Then take the message heart." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato A- |
Don't Look Now (1974) |
"Creepy ending will appeal to fans of Lynch and Shyamalan." |
Mark Robison |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Doors (1991) |
"One of the great rock 'n' roll documentaries. Val Kilmer is astounding." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Double Indemnity (1944) |
"One of the true gems of film noir." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato A- |
Downfall (2005) |
"There have been plenty of World War II films over the years, but none delivers as intimate a portrait of German dictator Adolf Hitler and his comrades." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat D+ |
Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003) |
"Comedian Mike Myers creates a cat who is more annoying than charming, and most of the gags are out of step with Seussian sensibility." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat |
Dracula (1974) |
"Since the disc contains two movies, it’s bargain priced. However, I’d still rent rather than buy." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat C |
Dracula II: Ascension (2003) |
"The setup, which includes a subplot about a powerful vampire slayer named Uffizi, is quite good, but the execution is bland." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Dreamer (2005) |
"Like Seabiscuit, Dreamer is as much about people as horse racing. And that's why it succeeds." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Dreamers (2004) |
"Only time will tell if The Dreamers is a great film. I think it is at the least a very good one." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat c |
Dreams (1990) |
"Each [of the eight shorts] is beautifully photographed, and as eye candy alone, they are phenomenal. Unfortunately, several are sluggishly paced." |
Forrest Hartman |
Splat 2/5 |
Duel (1971) |
"The film is noteworthy as early Spielberg, but it hasn't stood the test of time. New movies, like Joy Ride, tackle the same material more deftly." |
Forrest Hartman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dust to Glory (2005) |
"One needn’t be an auto racing fan to appreciate the athletes depicted in Dana Brown’s intriguing documentary about the Baja 1000 off-road race." |
