D.E.B.S. (2005)
" A funky cast and promising send-up material of girl-power films can't save D.E.B.S. "
Angela Baldassarre
The Da Vinci Code (2006)
""The Da Vinci Code" is essentially just another average Hollywood thriller. Nothing more."
Tomato
Dark Water (2005)
"Dark Terror. Salles’ thriller this year’s best."
Darkness (2003)
" “Darkness” is a fascinating story, only delivered sluggishly and without the requisite tension.** "
Days of Glory (2006)
"Days of Glory lacks the big-battle sequences of epic war movies, but makes up for it with emotionally rooted characterizations of its different personalities."
De-Lovely (2004)
"Functions beautifully from the context in which many of his songs are presented. "
Dear Frankie (2005)
" A Scottish gem that features terrific performances and a tight, emotional script. "
Death of a President (2006)
"Despite being heavy-handed and pretentious, and never providing a satisfying conclusion, Gabriel Range's fake-umentary "Death of a President" is nevertheless brilliant in its conception and execution."
Deck the Halls (2006)
"Not that we expect much from a Holiday movie about neighbours competing over Christmas lights (how familiar is that?), but John Whitesell's film is so lacking in any plausible plot that I squirmed in my seat throughout the entire duration of the screening"
The Departed (2006)
"Only a cinematic master like Martin Scorsese can take a complex character-driven drama and turn it into a grandiose masterpiece."
Splat 3/5
Derailed (2005)
"The director's unfocused hand and the actors' aloof performances derailed my expectations."
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006)
"Demonic and riveting, but I'm still not a fan."
The Devil Wears Prada (2006)
"A very formulaic tale about a naive young woman who nearly loses her soul after being caught up in the woman-eats-woman world of fashion, the book must have obviously lost something in the filmic translation."
The Devil's Rejects (2005)
"A Reject Indeed. Zombie horror film unwatchable."
Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
"Thematically "Live Free or Die Hard" is as heavy on high-octave action (a McTiernan specialty) as it is on technological mumbo-jumbo, which Wiseman is comfortably at home with."
District B13 (2006)
"Whew! I can't remember the last time I got such an adrenaline rush watching a movie."
Disturbia (2007)
"Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window" is refreshingly renewed with teen-infused funky energy in D.J. Caruso's rollicking "Disturbia.""
Splat 2/5
Dogville (2003)
"Pretentious, conceited, and terribly longwinded, Lars von Trier's Dogville is unappealing and horribly depressing."
Don't Come Knocking (2006)
"I'm sorry, but not only did I find "Don't Come Knocking" implausible and far-fetched, but also tedious."
Don't Move (2005)
" Violent and passionate, the film explores ego and salvation with exceptional performances. "
The Door in the Floor (2004)
" Incomplete and dreary, despite some beautiful atmospherics and an exceptional performance by Jeff Bridges. "
Down in the Valley (2006)
""Down in the Valley" is an ambitious project that never blends cohesively."
Dreamer (2005)
"“Seabiscuit” it ain’t, but “Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story” is one of those harmless horse movies that will entertain the kids."
The Dreamers (2004)
"A pretentious and self-absorbed chamber piece that underscores the importance of the 1968 student riots in Paris."
Driving Lessons (2006)
"For his feature directorial debut, screenwriter Jeremy Brock ("Mrs. Brown") has chosen from a chapter of his own life to tell a story that is as charming and eccentric as it is unsurprising and implausible."
The Dukes of Hazzard (2005)
"A raunchy Hazzard. Lame-brained but unpretentious fun."
