"For people who insist that the movie is never as good as the book, your case just got stronger." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 0/4 |
Daddy Day Camp (2007) |
"The actors obviously see the movie only as a paycheck, but the check should have a note at the bottom that says, 'Shame on you!'" |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Damned United (2009) |
"Classy light drama gets its larger than life scope from Brian Clough's own massive ego and Michael Sheen's sharp performance in the role." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 3/5 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"Director Peter Hedges overloads his film with characters and then gives them nothing interesting to do." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 3/5 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"It's like the cream-and-sugar decaf version of The 40-Year-Old Virgin--sweet enough, but nothing that will keep you from dozing off." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Dance Flick (2009) |
"It stinks, but the Wayans family has done a lot worse." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/5 |
Dare (2009) |
"In trying to jam each character's storyline into a tight whole, it doesn't allow any of them to breathe and develop organically" |
Alexis Loinaz |
Tomato 3/5 |
Darfur Now (2007) |
"Will more than support the feelings of those already involved and make others think twice before walking past volunteers asking for a minute of their time." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Limited is exactly what Wes Anderson proves himself to be." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Impeccably acted, morally complex and crafted with across-the-board technical virtuosity...emerges fully formed as an American crime-movie classic." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Holy hyperbole, Batman! The best superhero movie ever is also the best movie of the year so far." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Dark Matter (2008) |
"You could charge Streep with stealing the movie but there's not much to take." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 2/5 |
Dark Mirror (2009) |
"Hollow, dull and too obviously inspired by Asian ghost stories." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 1/5 |
Dark Streets (2008) |
"So leaden and obvious it doesn't even work as camp." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Date Movie (2006) |
"Sticking it to every ethnic group and sexual preference possible, Date Movie is, at least, an equal-opportunity offender." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"By cutting away from the music just as things start cooking, what could have been a great rockumentary becomes too much of a Chappelle celebration." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Dead Girl (2006) |
"Or: Life Sucks and Then You Die: The Movie." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |

Matt Pais |
Splat 3/5 |
Deadgirl (2008) |
"A nasty concept is nice, but then you gotta do something with it." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1/5 |
Deal (2008) |
"In terms of cashing in on poker mania, Deal is so late to the party that it's actually late to the apartment where the guy who threw the party used to live." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) |
"Flaws aside, Dear Zachary is an impressive piece of work that easily ranks as one of the year's best documentaries." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 0/4 |
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"To call this rubbish would be an insult to rubbish." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Death In Love (2009) |
"A raw and uncompromising drama with considerably limited appeal ... leaves a lasting impression, though it's rarely easy to watch." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 1/4 |
Death of a President (2006) |
"Operates under the façade of controversy while delivering nothing remotely provocative." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 0/5 |
Death Race (2008) |
"A guy movie for guys whose only turn-on is death." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/4 |
Death Sentence (2007) |
"It's OK for sleazy, late-night entertainment until the statement of 'the world is a scary place' starts sounding like 'violence might be the answer.'" |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/5 |
December Boys (2007) |
"A tween version of Superbad this certainly isn't, with a significant stench of familiarity covering rites of passage like peeing together and clamoring to see naked girls." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/5 |
Deception (2008) |
"Has enough holes to keep Tiger Woods busy for a week." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/5 |
Dedication (2007) |
"That's what it takes to make it through this self-consciously dark romantic comedy." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3/4 |
Deep Water (2007) |
"The documentary effectively blends contemporary and recent interviews with film and tape recordings made by Crowhurst aboard the Electron." |
Michael Esposito |
Splat 3/5 |
Defiance (2008) |
"Frequently pulls viewers out of reality with rousing speeches, close-ups and sweeping camera moves, all distracting reminders that you're watching a movie." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Very improbable, kinda corny and sweet as hell ... a next generation When Harry Met Sally." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Deja Vu (2006) |
"Thinking about Deja Vu for three seconds makes the entire thing fall apart faster than Johnny Knoxville's Oscar chances." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1/5 |
Delgo (2008) |
"Apparently it took six screenwriters to come up with a screenplay lacking a single good idea." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3/4 |
Delirious (2007) |
"In spite of the off-tone moments and thematic distractions, Delirious is engaging, intelligent and enjoyable." |
Tasha Robinson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Den du Frygter (2008) |
"The kind of concept Alfred Hitchcock would have loved ... a hauntingly effective little film." |
Geoff Berkshire |

The Departed (2006) |
"Takes a really good movie and makes it great." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |

Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |
"Just what we want from this franchise: social commentary!" |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Diggers (2007) |
"A surprisingly sophisticated ensemble piece from a cast regarded more for being funny than being wise." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Diminished Capacity (2008) |
"A movie about memory loss shouldn't be so forgettable." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 0/5 |
Disaster Movie (2008) |
"Like the bastard child of Best Week Ever and the mud that runs off of football players' cleats after a rainy game, this isn't a movie you see. It's one you survive." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/5 |
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) |
"In this morality tale, which winds up playing like the advertisement for an amusement park ride, Scrooge is supposed to be afraid of the truth, not the ghosts." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4/5 |
District 9 (2009) |
"There's no doubt genre fans will eagerly surrender to the crafty, low budget charms of District 9 ... It definitely has the goods" |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 4/5 |
District 9 (2009) |
"Somewhere between very good and awesome, but no use nitpicking." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato |
Disturbia (2007) |

Brett Buckalew |
Tomato 3/4 |
Disturbia (2007) |
"Guaranteed to get your inner high-schooler excited for the end of the semester." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) |
"Not a movie that you shake off easily -- maybe ever -- and one that makes you want to go out and gulp down every ounce of life you can squeeze into your glass." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Don't Come Knocking (2006) |
"That the movie doesn't deepen so much as trail off is a frustrating but fitting embodiment of a protagonist who's never taken responsibility for anything." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Donkey Punch (2009) |
"Filled with extremes of both sex and violence ... also clever, well-acted and a good showcase for writer-director Olly Blackburn's filmmaking skills." |
