"[Bjork] won the top acting honor at Cannes, but as I took full measure of her screen persona, I kept wondering what time she was due back at Santa's workshop."

Daredevil (2003)

"This is a movie so underimagined, so corporate, so defensive, so dully determined to be like other profitable action-hero movies that it's almost impossible to believe it was ever attached to an original idea."

Dark Blue (2003)

"After an hour of not much, Dark Blue stumbles onto a terrific scene, the sort that makes the whole movie worthwhile."

Dark Water (2005)

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

"Another day at the office for director Roland Emmerich, who has previously attacked American cities in Independence Day and Godzilla."

Dear Frankie (2005)

"It quietly builds empathy though the credibility of its central relationships."

Death Of A Dynasty (2005)

"Death of a Dynasty accomplishes what it set out to do -- to make a few laughs."

Death to Smoochy (2002)

Deck the Halls (2006)

"It's Bottom Ten bad, destined to wind up on end-of-the-year 'Worst Of' lists. It may still be there at the conclusion of this century."

The Deep End (2001)

"Swinton is a standout."

Deja Vu (2006)

"Deja Vu manages to take its premise, about unique surveillance technology that allows investigators to revisit past events, and expand it into an interesting narrative."

Deliver Us From Evil (2006)

"Manages to find a chilling new angle to the subject of sex abuse scandals within the Catholic Church."

"This just in: Meryl Streep is a brilliant actress."

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005)

"It's an unusual mix of vulgarity and piety."

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

"Three movies later, his indestructibility has become something of a joke, and McLane has morphed into a de facto superhero, sure to survive every chopper crash and five-vehicle pile-up."

The Dish (2001)

"A movie of small steps that manages, in the end, to make a giant dramatic leap."

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002)

"Khouri ... manages to deliver the essential information, but her structure leaves actors stranded."

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)

"Dodgeball may not be for children, but it is tailor-made for the childish, and it goes without saying that I laughed heartily throughout."

Dogtown and Z-Boys (2002)

"Fast-paced and wonderfully edited, the film is extremely thorough."

Domestic Disturbance (2001)
