Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"The film portrays how good will is much harder to handle than evil." |

Dance Flick (2009) |
"The best Wayans movie since the first Scary Movie. The Wayans' are in top form taking the benchmarks of dance movies to an extreme degree. They can't keep it up, but it remains a solid satire with more to say than many quickie knock-offs." |

The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Here's another Wes Anderson movie. I say that with all due respect." |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Everything you would want to see in a movie... I wanted to applaud after every scene Heath Ledger performed... features Batman's most wonderful toys yet." |

Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"I'm all for a good poop joke but just getting pooped on isn't itself funny. Especially when they spend the whole movie setting up the old guy and he needs help with the bathroom. Might as well send a telegraph." |

Death Race (2008) |
"It's oddly satisfying, even though it does everything wrong." |

December Boys (2007) |
"A coming of age story for Dummies. It packs in the schmaltz and spells out all the life lessons in case you weren't paying attention. It's not unwatchable, but I certainly wasn't in the mood that day." |

Deck the Halls (2006) |
"The quintessential Hollywood Christmas movie. It's Grumpy Old Christmas." |

Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"At least it's a narrative device with a mystery. It's How I Met Your Mother, but still." |

Deja Vu (2006) |
"It's Rear Window with a modern techno twist." |

The Departed (2006) |
"There should be so many interesting dilemmas, but like the original Infernal Affairs, it muddles in standard mob deals and police investigations, nothing you can't see on any handful of TV shows. Why not give each side some painful decisions to mak" |

The Descent (2006) |
"It's never a good idea for B movies to try to evoke feeling for their monster fodder characters. It's enough if you just don't hate the people... The actors are most convincing when they're just screaming." |

Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |
"There is more carnage in this movie than in any R-rated film I can remember. Really, PG-13 is the new R. They play a sound effect over the MF but you know what he's saying." |

District 9 (2009) |
"Peter Jackson let Neil Blomkamp make his Bad Taste but with all of Jackson's expensive toys." |

DOA: Dead or Alive (2007) |
"Like Mortal Kombat with more exposition... They've already got the tight, muscular bodies glistening with sweat, rain and various forms of mist, kicking ass in their underwear... So why so much story?" |

Doubt (2008) |
"Objectively good, but that doesn't mean I enjoy it. I mean, woo hoo, debating suspicions of pedophilia in the Catholic church!" |

Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008) |
"It's metaphysically literal, or literally metaphysical." |

Tomato |
Drag Me To Hell (2009) |
"He's not reinventing the genre, but he doesn't have to. He already did that once, and now he's just doing what he's good at. His era of in your face outrageousness didn't last long enough as far as I'm concerned." |

Dragonball: Evolution (2009) |
"It's this generation's Surf Ninjas, and if you remember that at all then you know what I mean." |

Dreamgirls (2006) |
"This year's King Kong, a reminder of what lavish studio productions can be. It's Motown meets Broadway in Hollywood, full of energy and moving emotions." |

Drillbit Taylor (2008) |
"I don't mind Drillbit Taylor but why was I watching it? Oh yeah, I get paid to." |
