"the pacing of a Gregorian chant and none of the passion" |

Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"Unfortunately, things peter out very quickly . . ., becoming the cinematic equivalent of the sort of over-sugared junk food that the story continues to decry." |

Tomato 5/5 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"The setting may be Gotham City, but the landscape is that of the unconscious, where archetypes roam unfettered by the restraints of the waking world." |
Andrea Chase |
Splat 1/5 |
Dark Water (2005) |
"A great deal of nothing happens . . . before the reveal that isn’t so much a twist as pretty much what everyone was expecting from about five minutes into the proceedings" |
Andrea Chase |
Splat 1/5 |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"A quick and cheap horror flick that will come and go in less time than it takes for you to finish reading this review." |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 4/5 |
Darkwing Duck - Vol. 2 |
"Never snarky, Darkwing Duck, romps rather than runs rampage over popular culture. Fearless with a pun or a self-reference, it's accessible for kids who may or may not get the references, and puckish for adults who do." |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"[Given suitable] expositional permission, the audience is then free to wallow in the sublime kitsch of it all" |

Deal (2008) |
"There is more complexity in a sub-par episode of the Teletubbies than in anything to be found in Deal" |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 3/5 |
Death Race (2008) |
"fun, no more predictable than absolutely necessary, and for racing fans, there's the jargon of exactly how one soups up a Mustang for mortal combat" |
Andrea Chase |
Splat 0/5 |
Deep Blue Sea (1999) |
"Harlin, perpetrated, I mean, directed CUTTHROAT ISLAND, but oddly enough, it did not stop studios from giving him big bucks to repeat his mistakes." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Rising above the commonplace and the cliché, it's wry, smart and just sentimental enough to warm the cockles of an audience's collective heart while skirting the treacherous shoals of the mawkish." |
Andrea Chase |
Splat 2/5 |
Deja Vu (2006) |
"Fans of Washington and/or the endless possibilities to be explored in the more esoteric parts physics might find enough here to warrant the investment of 128 minutes" |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 4/5 |
Delirious (2007) |
"DiCillo finds comedy in the tragic, depth in the shallowness, and surprises in the cliché" |
Andrea Chase |
Splat 1/5 |
Demonlover (2003) |
"This is a deeply misguided film that carries all the intent and pretension of being a profound meditation on dominance, porn, culture clashes and big business as a blood sport" |
Andrea Chase |
Splat 2/5 |
The Departed (2006) |
"as inflated with its own sense of epic destiny as the Hindenburg was with hydrogen and just as doomed" |
Andrea Chase |
Splat 0/5 |
Derailed (2005) |
"Aniston demonstrates that her strength lies in the light entertainment that is the weekly sit-com, not in a role that demands emotion beyond a coquettish flirtation or a sulky pout." |
Andrea Chase |

Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) |
"Are the less than perfectly executed bits supposed to set off the truly terrific ones, or are the truly terrific ones supposed to distract the viewing audience from the bits that go clunk in the night?" |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 5/5 |
District B13 (2006) |
"starts at a fever pitch of rushing adrenalin and from there goes into the action stratosphere with some of the most inventive and just plain fun moves yet seen on the silver screen" |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 4/5 |
Disturbia (2007) |
"Writers Christopher B. Landon and Carl Ellsworth (RED EYE), and director D. J. Caruso have avoided the trap of trying to remake Hitchcock's classic [REAR WINDOW]. Rather, this is a deft re-imagining of the premise." |

Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2005) |
"an intriguing near-miss rather than the unintentional laugh-fest that Harlin’s version proved to be" |

Doogal (2006) |
"completely devoid of charm, wit, humor, or a storyline that makes sense to anyone with even the most rudimentary of verbal skills" |

Doppelganger (2003) |
"tweaks the genre and the audience’s expectations, subtly changing from a quietly effective horror film into a slick satire on modern life. And that is no less scary" |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 4/5 |
Doppelganger (2003) |
"an interesting, if somewhat formulaic horror tale [that] evolves into a merciless satire about the struggle to live an authentic life in a plastic world" |

Down With Love (2003) |
"The best and only really funny character is David Hyde Pierce, . . no one does hopeless longing better, tranforming himself into a veritable limp dishrag of desire." |

"a labored and disjointed effort with identity issues" |
