Tomato

Dan in Real Life (2007)

"Astonishingly effective."

Eric Kohn

Tomato

Dance Flick (2009)

"It isn’t highbrow -- or encumbered by scruples -- but the Wayanses retain their vulgar, adolescent derision of sex, class and race. In this bow down to Hollywood millennium, their irreverence is almost subversive."

Armond White

Splat

Dans Paris (2007)

"Dans Paris not only loses its charm but is devastatingly disappointing."

Armond White

Tomato

The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

"The Darjeeling Limited is so reflective of personal experience (within the context of rarefied pop antecedents) that it returns common emotional power to today’s fragmented, disingenuous popular culture."

Armond White

Splat

The Dark Knight (2008)

"The generation of consumers who swallow this pessimistic sentiment can’t see past the product to its debased morality. Instead, their excitement about The Dark Knight’s dread (that teenage thrall with subversion) inspires their fealty to product."

Armond White

Tomato

Dark Matter (2008)

"It’s credit to both Streep and Quinn’s integrity that Dark Matter uncovers the natural instincts and social foibles that underpin racism."

Armond White

Tomato

Day Watch (2007)

"[Director] Bekmambetov succeeds in crafting a movie so fast-paced and stylish that it doesn’t matter why there’s a battle sequence or car chase, you just sit back and enjoy the ride."

Matt Peterson

Splat

Days and Clouds (2008)

"It’s a 110-minute-long ending with no end in sight."

Simon Abrams

Splat

Death In Love (2009)

"The failure of the movie is hardly attributable to Lucas, or co-stars Jacqueline Bisset and Lukas Haas. I’m afraid the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of writer-director Boaz Yakin."

Mark Peikert

Tomato

Death Race (2008)

"Through B-movie audacity, Statham and Anderson heighten Death Race into a skull-crusher and a mind-bender. But you’ll need a keen movie sense to recognize their underappreciated talents."

Armond White

Splat

Dedication (2007)

"It appears that the third eye went blind when the actors needed it."

Eric Kohn

Splat

Defiance (2008)

"As in The Siege, Courage Under Fire, The Last Samurai and Blood Diamond, Zwick compromises complexity with maudlin formula."

Armond White

Splat

Departures (2009)

"An overlong, sap-happy crowd-pleaser."

Simon Abrams

Tomato

Derek (2008)

"In Derek, Isaac Julien evokes the graphically complex style of Derek Jarman’s radical filmmaking to commemorate the tensions and tangled ambitions of a modern, politically aware gay artist."

Armond White

Tomato

Desert Bayou (2007)

"Does great justice to the appalling aftermath of the biggest natural disaster to hit America in our lifetime."

Nida Najar

Tomato

The Devil Came On Horseback (2007)

"Sincere and purposeful, Devil has the potential to do for the situation in Darfur what An Inconvenient Truth did for global warming, which is to say, get people talking about it."

Eric Kohn

Tomato

The Dhamma Brothers (2008)

"The film presents an intimate, compassionate and sympathetic portrait of a group of individuals that much of society has written off as savage and brutal and who reconnect to their humanity through the act of meditation."

Amre Klimchack

Tomato

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

"To call this the best Die Hard movie ever made merely acknowledges that Director Len Wiseman simplifies the franchise to its basic elements: Predicament, Villain, Hero, Action."

Armond White

Splat

Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)

"Zemeckis' latest motion-capture CGI project capsizes Dickens' narrative power simply because the faces of the human simulacra are so utterly inexpressive and ugly."

Armond White

Splat

District 9 (2009)

"District 9 represents the sloppiest and dopiest pop cinema -- the kind that comes from a second-rate film culture."

Armond White

Tomato

Diva (1981)

"It flows between its romance, drama and thriller plots more smoothly than today’s best genre-blenders."

Benjamin Sutton

Tomato

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)

"Tells a real person’s life story so inventively you might forget how rotten recent biopics have been."

Armond White

Tomato

Donkey Punch (2009)

"Oliver Blackburn’s British thriller Donkey Punch offers such a unique thrill: It indulges in juvenile scares by placing them in a larger canvas of sophisticated moods."

Eric Kohn

Splat

Doubt (2008)

"Streep in her black bonnet and Hoffman with his meticulously parted hair and long, clean fingernails are never quite believable."

Armond White

Tomato

Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)

"Lacking much of the sarcastic edge found throughout Pixar’s hits, we’re able to appreciate the naive optimism that endears Seuss’ creations to us, without looking for a rotten ironic core."

Jerry Portwood

Splat

Drag Me To Hell (2009)

"There’s something fundamentally disappointing about watching Raimi use his considerable resources to just make more wonderful scat."

Simon Abrams

Splat

Dragonball: Evolution (2009)

"[Chow's] hamminess doesn’t make Dragonball Evolution make more sense, but it’s a great way to cope with an otherwise inexplicable kitschfest."

Simon Abrams

Tomato

Dreams with Sharp Teeth (2008)

"Harlan Ellison is irresistibly snarky, persistently cynical and preternaturally intelligent, and so are his stories. Dreams with Sharp Teeth illustrates that well by training an eye on his larger-than-life personality and his considerable accomplishments."

Simon Abrams

Splat

Drillbit Taylor (2008)

"Its comedy falls flat, and the film has a violent core where its heart should be."

Raphaela Weissman

Splat

The Duchess (2008)

"Though screenwriter Jeffrey Hatcher has stuffed plenty of high-octane incidents into his script, none of them really register."

Mark Peikert

Splat

Duplicity (2009)

"Duplicity should have been titled Venality."

Armond White
