Tomato 6/10 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"The film is not just laid-back, it's nearly catatonic." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 6/10 |
Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"It is not pleasing to watch, by any conceivable definition of that word." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 8/10 |
Darbareye Elly (2010) |
"The film's tone is primarily, even exclusively, reflective; observing human behavior simply because humans are interesting." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 8/10 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Unexpectedly fresh, if indisputably minor." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 10/10 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"A very exhausting film...something far more than just an entertainment." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 8/10 |
Dark Victory (1939) |
"Naught but a torrid melodrama, but oh! what a humdinger of a melodrama it is! It's films like this that give trash a good name." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 6/10 |
Days of Glory (2006) |
"All the upright morality in the world doesn't compensate for poor filmmaking." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 1/10 |
Dead Silence (2007) |
"It's awful. It eats your soul, it's so awful." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 7/10 |
Dead Snow (2009) |
"The sprightliest movie about mowing down revenants with a chainsaw that you are are ever likely to see." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 7/10 |
Dear Mr. Waldman (2008) |
"Could have been a terrifically important commentary on Israeli identify instead of just a mostly appealing character drama." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato |
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) |
"The most emotionally powerful film of 2008... as deeply personal as any film you will ever see." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 4/10 |
Death Race (2008) |
"The best of all Paul W.S. Anderson's films, although how much lower we can set the bar, I don't know." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 10/10 |
Deep Red: The Hatchet Murders (1975) |
"I'm not comfortable with any definition of "great cinema" that doesn't include Deep Red." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 5/10 |
Defiance (2008) |
"Zwick is a terribly consistent filmmaker, and he's done yet again exactly what he always does. Defiance is technically accomplished, and fumbles its story right from the word go." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 6/10 |
Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Sweet, charming...and not particularly funny for even a moment." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 6/10 |
Delta (2008) |
"Lies squarely on the very thin line that separates intelligent art films from plodding misfires, with a few too many diversions onto the wrong side of that line." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 8/10 |
The Devil Came On Horseback (2007) |
"The collection of images that make up the first forty-odd minutes of the film are among the most horrifying I have seen in all my life." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 8/10 |
The Devil's Commandment (1956) |
"A pretty fine little movie it is, with drop-dead gorgeous black and white CinemaScope photography." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 8/10 |
Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |
"An extremely proud throwback that has the basic decency to steal from the very best." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 7/10 |
Diggers (2007) |
"It is wholly Good. A pity that it doesn't have any real desire to be Great." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 5/10 |
Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009) |
"The biggest surprise... is that it isn't absolutely dreadful. Perfectly pointless, maybe, but not dreadful." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 7/10 |
District 9 (2009) |
"It signifies nothing. Still, its sound and fury are undeniably impressive." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 6/10 |
Disturbia (2007) |
"The parts of the film that work...are surprisingly due mostly to the presence of Shia LaBeouf." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) |
"By turns terrifying and humane and even funny." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 10/10 |
Don't Look Now (1974) |
"The most adult horror picture I've ever encountered, or indeed can even imagine." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 6/10 |
Doomsday (2008) |
"Nothing about Marshall's grab bag has much to do with anything else...it may be aimless and arbitrary, but at least it's mostly fun." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 6/10 |
Doubt (2008) |
"Only the writing and a couple of the performances are enough to leave the film stranded just barely on the right side of watchable." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 10/10 |
Down by Law (1986) |
"Every single incident in the film is meaningful." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 5/10 |
Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008) |
"Occasionally charming, frequently dull, and terrible just often enough to be dissatisfying more often than not." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 7/10 |
Dracula (1931) |
"The quick cash-in proves to be a much more mature and comprehensible work... even as it makes a couple of mistakes that Browning was able to avoid." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 4/10 |
Dracula (1931) |
"A perfect example of the worst traits of Hollywood films in the early sound era." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 4/10 |
Dracula A.D. 1972 (1972) |
"A sad way to watch a formerly great series enter its death throes." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 7/10 |
Dracula Has Risen From the Grave (1968) |
"The film props itself up mostly on [director] Francis's often-thrilling visual sense, and the visceral impact of the first and final scenes." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 5/10 |
Dracula's Daughter (1936) |
"Dracula's daughter herself is strange and memorable,far better than the tawdry B-movie in which she made her first and last appearance." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 8/10 |
Dracula: Prince of Darkness (1965) |
"Perhaps Hammer's most effectively horrific Dracula movie." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 9/10 |
Drag Me To Hell (2009) |
"A rickety, old-fashioned scare picture made by a man who proved many years ago that he has nothing left to prove in the horror genre." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 2/10 |
Dragonball: Evolution (2009) |
"I am no expert in the field of Dragon Ball. However... the first live-action, English-language film in the franchise is absolutely insipid." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 5/10 |
Dream Lover (1986) |
"[The filmmakers] wager everything on the audience finding mid-'80s dream research to be the height of compelling cinema." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 4/10 |
Drillbit Taylor (2008) |
"Owen Wilson is the sole reason to watch the movie, using nothing more than his innate charisma to wrest honest chuckles from the jaws of banality." |
Tim Brayton |
Splat 6/10 |
The Duchess (2008) |
"The sumptuous dresses and hats are the best and almost the only reason to see the film." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 10/10 |
Dumbo (1941) |
"One of the most emotionally potent of all animated movies; I might be inclined to say, of all movies, period." |
Tim Brayton |
Tomato 9/10 |
Duplicity (2009) |
"A perfectly-crafted espionage thriller married to the best throwback rom-com in years." |
Tim Brayton |
