Daddy Day Camp (2007) |
"An extended sitcom for kids, with very little to entertain adults." |
Jette Kernion |
Splat 2/5 |
Daddy's Little Girls (2007) |
"Don't let the brightly colored poster with the cute little girls on it fool you -- this isn't a comedy, either, but is meant to be a drama with a message. Daddy's Little Girls has its funny moments, but overall it's fairly somber from the start." |
Jette Kernion |
Tomato |
The Damned United (2009) |
"Thanks to Michael Sheen's innate charms, Brian Clough is redeemable even at his meanest and most self-destructive." |
Jen Yamato |
Splat |
Dance Flick (2009) |
"But though Dance Flick only has a vague, passing resemblance to Sucka or Scary Movie, and it isn't very funny, it's at least kind of sweet and mostly inoffensive." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/5 |
Darfur Now (2007) |
"Almost conclusively portrays the Darfur problem as no longer a problem. But even if so, Darfur Now is not really a film about the Darfur problem, anyway." |
Christopher Campbell |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"The first thing my friend said to me as the credits began to roll: "Loved it ... but the film won't make a dime at the box office."" |
Erik Davis |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Comic-book movies are often bland and big meditations on good versus evil; The Dark Knight gives us a more interesting examination of right versus wrong, and how little it can take to shove the one into the other." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Supremely satisfying for about a dozen different reasons. A great film." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato |
DarkBlueAlmostBlack (2007) |
"There's an impressive, careful complexity to DarkBlueAlmostBlack that belies the inexperience of first-time director Daniel Sánchez Arévalo." |
Martha Fischer |
Tomato 4/5 |
Day Break (2005) |
"Maintains its intrigue amidst an existential style that normally results in slow and drearily dull cinema." |
Christopher Campbell |
Splat |
Day Night Day Night (2007) |
"By taking such a detached perspective on the girl's quest, the entire project is reduced to an exercise in inconsequential imagination." |
Nick Schager |
Splat 2/5 |
Dead Daughters (2007) |
"Those with a taste for the international scary fare may want to give the flick a shot for themselves, but I recommend they bring a lamp, a book and some coffee." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Dead Girl (2006) |
"If you're weary of crime stories that follow the conventional path on the way to a generically inevitable conclusion, The Dead Girl is a title you might want to throw a red circle around." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3/5 |
Dead Silence (2007) |
"If you're in the mood for a Saturday afternoon-ish throwback thriller, you could certainly do a hell of a lot worse than this one." |
Scott Weinberg |
Splat C+ |
Dead Snow (2009) |
"Once you get past the relative novelty of it (they're ZOMBIES, but they're also NAZIS!!), Dead Snow is only so-so." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato |
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) |
"One of the best documentaries I have ever watched in my entire life." |
Erik Davis |
Tomato 4/5 |
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"Once it gets some speed behind it, the thing just barrels forward with reckless abandon, tossing out gags that work at an impressively effective rate." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Death Defying Acts (2008) |
"As a slight and visually arresting little "what if?" tale, one that centers on a pop culture icon who still fascinates us today, Death Defying Acts is a perfectly passable period piece." |
Scott Weinberg |
Splat 1/4 |
Death of a President (2006) |
"Death of a President isn't art, or even entertainment: It's the art-house, indie-doc equivalent of Snakes on a Plane, where someone thought of a single idea and then, it seems based on the end-resulting film, stopped thinking altogether." |
James Rocchi |
Splat 2/4 |
Death Proof (2007) |
"What's new in Death Proof? Well, a lot of jibber-jabber. It's Tarantino jibber-jabber -- quick and juicy and deadpan and blunt and baroque -- but it's jibber-jabber nonetheless, minor time-filler between a few moments of twisted-metal glory or twisted-hum" |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 3/5 |
Death Race (2008) |
"Death Race roars, rages and races down the track, all velocity and visceral violence, unencumbered by logic, sense, reason or dignity." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Death Sentence (2007) |
"The lesser moments still work because of Bacon's commitment to the part, and the better components are a firm indication that James Wan is improving with each successive film." |
Scott Weinberg |
Splat |
December Boys (2007) |
"A cloying, unremarkable affair." |
Nick Schager |
Splat 2/4 |
Deception (2008) |
"Deception is star-filled and competently crafted, but so afraid of real sexuality that it instead offers us soft-lit perfume-ad images, and is erroneously convinced that moviegoers won't be able to spot lazy storytelling once their glasses are steamed up" |
James Rocchi |
Splat 1/5 |
Deck the Halls (2006) |
"When you're starting to think that maybe sneaking out and going to see "The Santa Clause 3" would be a better use of your time, you know you've stumbled upon a truly wretched film." |
Kim Voynar |
Splat |
Dedication (2007) |
"An unoriginal romantic comedy that vainly attempts to mask its conventionality with all manner of eccentricities." |

Ryan Stewart |
Tomato 4/5 |
Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Definitely, Maybe has the 'meet cute,' but it also has all the things that can come after -- the awkward moments, the scary possibility of hope, the comforts of sadness, the tough talks, the ugly partings, the hard-won reconciliations." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Deja Vu (2006) |
"Grinds its gears while slipping from one genre to the other, but I bet you'll be pretty intrigued to see how it all turns out." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 4/5 |
Delirious (2007) |
"Just when you're sure you know how Delirious is going to close, DiCillo comes up with a capper that's as satisfying as it is understated." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 4/5 |
Deliver Us From Evil (2006) |
"The great tragedy underlying the story of Father O'Grady is how many children might not have been victims, had Cardinal Roger Mahoney ... been more interested in protecting the children residing in his diocese rather than furthering his own ascendancy wit" |
Kim Voynar |
Splat 1/5 |
Delta Farce (2007) |
"A salad bar of misogyny, homophobia and hatred for all things that aren't A) American, B) male, and C) stupid." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Descent (2006) |
"Marshall's female characters are strong and tough and they face their fears, if not always courageously, then at least tenaciously ..." |
Kim Voynar |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Devil's Chair (2006) |
"With only two horror flicks under his belt, Adam Mason's already a director to keep an eye on." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3/5 |
Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |
"Welcome to the new millennium John McClane, where the portions are huge but the quality isn't what it used to be." |
Erik Davis |
Tomato 4/5 |
Diggers (2007) |
"A movie doesn't have to be unique in order for it to work, and Diggers provides just enough wit, warmth and insight to warrant a visit." |
Scott Weinberg |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Diminished Capacity (2008) |
"The problem with this film ... is that it features too many other sad sack characters who ... contribute to an excess of sad-sackness." |
Christopher Campbell |

Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) |
"Charles Dickens' lifelong wish to have his story retold as a three-dimensional cartoon has finally been realized. At last his soul may be at peace." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat 2/5 |
Disturbia (2007) |
"Apart from a contemporary setting, nothing about Disturbia gives it an advantage over Rear Window." |
Jette Kernion |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Disturbia (2007) |
"Slickly shot, generally well-acted, and entirely, predictably conventional from stem to stern." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato |
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) |
"Imagine a Spike Jonze-Charlie Kauffman-Michel Gondry-style film but with a warm, beating heart instead of cool, detached hipster irony." |
James Rocchi |
Tomato 3/5 |
DOA: Dead or Alive (2007) |
"Call it the Guilty Pleasure of the year for me. Hell, it's a heck of a lot more entertaining than Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle." |

Dogtooth (2009) |
"Suffice to say that we won't be seeing an American remake of this one any time soon." |
Scott Weinberg |
Tomato 3.25/5 |
Domino (2005) |
"A well-paced action movie, if a little long, with an unusual feeling of surrealism behind the action." |
Jette Kernion |
Splat |
The Doorman (2008) |
"Conjuring up memories of happier experiences gone by is the prime means of enduring such across-the-board ineptitude." |
Nick Schager |
Tomato 4/5 |
Down in the Valley (2006) |
"Jacobson examines the life and death of the western and its incompatibility with the youth of today ... a fascinating, yet slightly off-balance, mix of tribute and scrutiny." |
Christopher Campbell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Downloading Nancy (2008) |
"Downloading Nancy is a sick and twisted rollercoaster ride that climbs fast and drops slowly ... leaving you plenty of time to absorb its raw insanity along the way." |
