Tomato

The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

"Anderson continues to examine damaged lives with whimsy, humor and bittersweet compassion. No matter how serious the themes get, Anderson and company keep the tone deceptively light."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

The Dark Knight (2008)

"Ledger's manically endearing performance as the unhinged psycho giving both cops and crooks nightmares is so riveting that it makes you sad for all the roles he'll never have a chance to tackle."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

DarkBlueAlmostBlack (2007)

"The actors form an appealing ensemble, bringing a warmth and appeal that make the film more compelling than its familiar themes might normally merit."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Day Watch (2007)

"The filmmakers destroy Moscow with the same glee that Godzilla has in stomping Tokyo. Even though Day Watch is probably a good 20 minutes too long, it's easy to forgive its excesses because Bekmambetov just seems to be having so much fun."

Beth Accomando

Splat
2/5

The Dead Pool (1988)

"Tired formula with Eastwood making an unispired return as Dirty Harry Callahan. patrica Clarkson is a welcome presence."

Beth Accomando

-

Dead Snow (2009)

"Dead Snow, like a video game, is all about the carnage and how to kill the Nazi zombies in the most brutal and ridiculous ways possible."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Dead Snow (2009)

"Dead Snow reinvigorates the genre with zombies, gore and humor spilling off the screen in equal measure."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Death Note (2006)

"If you love good story telling, an intricate plot, cute young Japanese stars, and a punky shinigami, you won't find a film better than Death Note... unless it's Death Note 2."

Beth Accomando

Splat

Death Sentence (2007)

"As Hume's life spirals out of control, so too does the film. Director James Wan... fails at the finer emotional details and at making the action play out believably."

Beth Accomando

Splat

Deception (2008)

"You'd think that with all the focus groups and test marketing Hollywood does that somewhere along the line someone would have said, "hey, don't you think this one strains credibility a bit too much?""

Beth Accomando

Tomato
9/10

Deep Water (2007)

"But more startling are the original tape recordings and 16mm films made by the solitary competitors as they spent more than ten months alone trying to sail around the globe."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Definitely, Maybe (2008)

"There's a refreshing adult quality in the film that kicks the film a notch above the rest of the romantic and comic fare currently available."

Beth Accomando

Splat
5/10

The Departed (2006)

"The Departed doesn't improve in any way on Infernal Affairs, which served up a return to stylish Hong Kong action."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

The Descent (2006)

"Let's just call it a chick flick for people who like a high body count."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

The Devil's Backbone (2001)

"Calling The Devil's Backbone a ghost story is an unfair simplification of an exquisitely crafted film... If you must label this film as horror, then it's a horror film with a soul."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)

"I'd call it a guilty pleasure only I don't feel any guilt about having enjoyed it so much. It's a big dumb lug of a film but it has no pretenses about being anything else."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

District 9 (2009)

"District 9 delivers on all fronts %u2013 it's an imaginative sci-fi tale, a gritty actioner, a dazzling effects film, a compelling dramatic story, a biting satire, and a flat out exciting piece of pop entertainment."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Diva (1981)

"Beineix choreographs the actors and the camera into a stunning and stylish cinematic dance... This is not a musical in the strict sense of the word but it certainly feels like one in the way it moves."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)

"One terrifying scene involves the sewing up of Bauby's paralyzed eye. He can still out of it but can't blink to lubricate it. The scene's as scary as anything in a horror film."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Donnie Darko (2001)

"Kelly captures, better than any film in recent memory other than Election, what it feels like to be in high school."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Donnie Darko: The Director's Cut (2004)

"The resulting film reveals an artist who has seriously reflected on his work and carefully considered what to add, what to alter and sometimes what to remove."

Beth Accomando

Tomato

Drag Me To Hell (2009)

"I don't think Raimi's intent in his latest film is to scare the hell out of you but rather to give you a fun ride and Drag Me to Hell delivers exactly that."

Beth Accomando

Tomato
5/5

Duck Soup (1933)

"Comic anarchy at its very best. This one just keeps getting better."

Beth Accomando
