D.E.B.S. (2005) |
"D.E.B.S. stands for 'Discipline, Energy, Beauty, Strength' -- none of which is remotely detectable in a single frame." |

The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"I won’t go so far as to recommend it, and I can’t imagine ever wanting to see it again." |

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"It's not serious enough to be profound, and not ribald enough to be giddy." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"As for the charm factor, I can't think of any screen couple this year with more of such an elusive quality than Ms. Otto and Mr. Ifans." |
Andrew Sarris |

Dans Paris (2007) |
"Structurally, it is mostly windup with very little delivery." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"With more style than substance, the story is so thin it evaporates like a puff from a hookah." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"One of the best and most furiously paced films about the controversial LAPD since L. A. Confidential." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"I previously have had my own auteurist doubts about Mr. Nolan’s work, but after The Dark Knight, I may have to rethink my past reservations about Mr. Nolan’s place in the 21st-century cinema." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"The Dark Knight is insurmountable fun." |

David Hockney: The Colors of Music (2005) |
"A ravishing feast for the eyes, with a steady stream of operatic excerpts to appease more impatient ears. Meanwhile, Mr. Hockney and his friends keep the proceedings on an exhilaratingly human level." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"For all of its dire premonitions, foreshadowings of horror and easy targets for Jay Leno jokes, The Day After Tomorrow is eye-poppingly awesome and wonderfully entertaining." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Day Night Day Night (2007) |
"All in all, it’s a creepy subject for a movie -- especially when there is no payoff at the end." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Day of Wrath (1943) |
"However bleak, Day of Wrath is a masterpiece. See it." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
Day Zero (2008) |
"For a hot-button issue movie with a lot of potential for character development, it’s slower than Christmas and disappointingly sluggish." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Daybreak (2005) |
"The movie is by turns darkly funny, grotesquely contentious and luminously familial." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Days of Being Wild (1990) |
"In many ways, Days of Being Wild anticipated the overall pattern of its writer-director- auteur's haunting career." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Days of Glory (2006) |
"Days of Glory has received a rapturous reception in France, where it has struck a historical nerve with its belated recognition of the sacrifices of 130,000 North African colonial soldiers." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"If for no other reason (and there are assuredly other reasons), I recommend De-Lovely to my readers for its honorable role in opening another door to our ridiculously repressed past." |
Andrew Sarris |
Splat |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"It is my sad duty to tell you it is wooden, artificial, contrived, infuriating and as phony as an invitation to bring along a tape recorder to dinner with J.D. Salinger." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
The Dead Girl (2006) |
"Ms. Moncrieff’s ambitious second film is a bit of a disappointment after the promise shown in her more tightly structured debut effort, Blue Car." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Dead Man's Shoes (2006) |
"Dead Man’s Shoes is for the true connoisseur: a tight, well-made, evocative piece of filmmaking that recalls the extreme emotions in some of Sam Peckinpah’s genre-benders about retribution and vigilante justice." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Dead Snow (2009) |
"The result piles on relentless thrills and unimaginable horrors, with a shock ending guaranteed to make you scream out loud." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Deadgirl (2008) |
"Written by a weirdo named Trent Haaga for no other purpose than to outrage, Deadgirl is part S&M porno, part supernatural chiller, and worthy only if you’re interested in how far movies can go before the police arrive." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"A soft-hearted but soberly made little movie that gives sentimentality a good name." |
Rex Reed |
Splat |
Death In Love (2009) |
"What makes pretentious, low-budget-indie filmmakers think the world is waiting breathlessly to absorb their personal memoirs like groundbreaking new recipes for meatballs?" |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006) |

The Deep End (2001) |
"It's the powerful chemistry between the crudely handsome Goran Visnjic ... and the extraordinary Tilda Swinton ... that makes the film relentlessly captivating." |

Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Definitely, Maybe is a romantic comedy you don’t have to feel embarrassed to embrace." |
Rex Reed |
Tomato |
Delirious (2007) |
"Tom DiCillo’s Delirious, from his own screenplay, presents a paparazzo’s worm’s-eye view of the ridiculous world of celebrity culture." |
Andrew Sarris |

Demonlover (2003) |
"A tiresome exercise in self-demonization." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Departed (2006) |
"Mr. Scorsese and his associates have assembled a remarkably charismatic cast to impart coherence and conviction to a narrative that could have easily dwindled into an affectless succession of gratuitous intrigues." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Departures (2009) |
"The ultimate beauty of the film rests in its symbolic details that bridge the abyss between the living and the dead. As the French might say, it is to make one cry." |

Derailed (2005) |
"Someone had to work extra hard to make a movie this bad with two likeable leads like Mr. Owen and Ms. Aniston. I can’t figure out why." |

The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |
"The biggest problem with the movie, however, is that it tries to make a big deal out of a subject that has been beaten to death in the tabloids and the media." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |
"The Devil Wears Prada is the first classy, elegant and really entertaining film of 2006." |

Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |

Diminished Capacity (2008) |
"Diminished Capacity is blessed with a blue-ribbon cast." |
Andrew Sarris |

The Dinner Game (1998) |
"A sip of sparkling champagne in a moviegoing summer of mostly cheap red wine for teenage winos." |
Andrew Sarris |

District 9 (2009) |
"District 9 is the most exciting science fiction movie to come along in ages; definitely the most thrilling film of the summer; and quite possibly the best film I’ve seen all year." |
Sara Vilkomerson |

Disturbia (2007) |
"Disturbia is disturbingly contemporary in its celebration of the technology that can make us all potential victims of the full-time snoops among us." |
Andrew Sarris |
Tomato |
Disturbia (2007) |
"The gifted and resourceful Mr. LaBoeuf is a young actor worth keeping an eye on, and director Caruso mounts a neat sense of suspense with tight camera angles and judicious, fast-paced editing." |
