The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"On film, The Da Vinci Code is not so much a fascinating puzzle as a prolonged slog through material that resists the screen." |

Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"Daddy Day Care may communicate with kids, too, but it should have spent a little more time communing with the comedy gods." |

Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"That it never comes close to crashing is testament to a trio of terrific performances." |

Daredevil (2003) |
"A decent version of a comic book brought to the big screen with moments of gleaming intensity." |

Dark Blue (2003) |
"Like Los Angeles in the spring of 1992, Dark Blue generates tension but eventually goes up in smoke." |

Dark Water (2005) |
"Narrowly focused and appropriately claustrophobic, Dark Water creates believability by balancing life's small annoyances with darker, more malignant events." |

Date Movie (2006) |
"They manage to miss just about every target." |

Tomato B- |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"Part concert film, part documentary and part comedy, Block Party plays like a sampler of contemporary rap." |
Robert Denerstein |

Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"'Fun' moments do peek through the rising piles of bodies, but Dawn can't quite sustain interest because it becomes repetitive and overwhelming." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B- |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"A disaster movie that cautions against global warming but delivers its real enjoyment in scenes of mass destruction." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato A- |
Days of Glory (2006) |
"A shattering tale of bravery and unrewarded loyalty." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat C+ |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"Tends to be abstract when it needs to be literal, staid when it should be salacious, and self-conscious when it should find a natural rhythm." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"A little movie, and that shouldn't be taken as a pejorative. It can be sweet without being sickening, as heart-rending as McElhone's soulful gaze." |
Robert Denerstein |

Death of a President (2006) |
"I won't tell you how the story resolves the question of who killed the president. I will tell you that it involves a careless reading of American society by a director who apparently hasn't totally thought through what he's saying." |

Deep Sea (IMAX) (2006) |
"In sum: Many creatures are eaten, but this often-impressive movie left me hungry for more." |

Deja Vu (2006) |
"An often-engaging if not especially believable thriller." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat C+ |
Deliver Us From Eva (2003) |
"Another romantic comedy in which the actors may be more appealing than the story that supports them, a fluffy affair that suffers occasional bouts of brittle writing, an excess of formula thinking and a few outright miscues." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B+ |
Deliver Us From Evil (2006) |
"Deals with emotionally charged material, so it should surprise no one that it includes one of the most wrenching moments ever captured on film." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
The Departed (2006) |
"Steeped in testosterone and laced with inventively used profanity, The Departed plunges us into a corrupt Boston world for parallel stories about two cops, played by Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio." |
Robert Denerstein |

Derailed (2005) |
"In the end, the movie has the musty odor of a cheap hotel room, the kind where you're not entirely convinced that the management bothers to change the sheets after every guest." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
Derrida (2002) |
"I'm not sure you'll leave the movie understanding every nuance of 'deconstruction,' but you'll have a real sense of a sophisticated thinker." |

The Descent (2006) |
"The Descent was better when the women were battling nature and their own demons rather than monsters capable of crawling across ceilings." |

The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006) |
"Johnston's fringe existence may not speak to the most universal of truths, but the man certainly isn't cut from a cookie-cutter mold." |

The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |
"It's unlikely to change anyone's life or even anyone's dress size, but The Devil Wears Prada provides a pleasing helping of light satire and a chance for Meryl Streep to slip into another terrific performance." |

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) |
"This isn't a situation in which the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing. It's more like they're not even part of the same body." |

Die Mommie Die! (2003) |
"Aside from meeting a memorable character -- an aging pop diva with self-dramatizing flair -- this comedy thrives on arch melodrama and movie smarts." |
Robert Denerstein |

Diggers (2007) |
"Clam diggers don't venture into the deepest waters, and neither, for the most part, does the movie. [It] serves up any number of slight moves, the kind associated with films that keep their gazes narrow and content themselves with small revelations." |

A Dirty Shame (2004) |
"The many variations on the movie's lone joke are punctuated by dead spots, and Waters' resounding endorsement of orgasmic frenzy hardly seems like a bold new call to revolution." |

District B13 (2006) |
"A French import that dishes out comic-book complexity with the simple purity of a kick to the gut." |

Disturbia (2007) |
"Reasonably smart and sometimes funny -- right up until the end, when it sells out its intelligence in favor of a standard-issue dose of overwrought violence." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
Divine Intervention (2003) |
"The movie can be labored and sometimes obvious, but it's the work of someone who's trying to find ways to express alienation, longing and a pervasive sense of frustration." |

Le Divorce (2003) |
"A decidedly mixed affair that wavers between hopeless melodrama and bland comedy of manners, scoring few points in either area." |
