The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"Howard doesn't move the story along as quickly or as smartly as he should. (It's a sad state of affairs when Hanks' character is actually asked to utter the words 'We have to get to the library, fast!')" |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Tomato |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"Made with care and intelligence as well as a sense of fun." |

Tomato |
The Damned United (2009) |
"Those who give it a whirl will discover a delightfully comic and sympathetic portrayal of British life in the hardscrabble, ciggies-and-lager '70s." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Tomato |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"There's nothing groundbreaking about Dan in Real Life -- it's a picture that could have been made 10 or 20 years ago -- and yet its easygoing, affable nature is exactly what makes it pleasurable." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Splat |
Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"A numbing, nearly three-hour musical." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Tomato |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"A haunting and often beautiful work, part doomed romance and part political thriller, that demonstrates the adult command of the medium Malkovich has always demonstrated as an actor." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Splat |
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"Undone by simply trying too hard." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Tomato |
Dans Paris (2007) |
"There's a vivid comedy to this family's emotional state of siege, an easy confidence to Honoré's camerawork, and plenty of beautiful bodies." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Splat |
Daredevil (2003) |
"The maroon couch-suit is kind of cool and it's fun to watch him suck face with Jennifer Garner. But in the end, Ben Affleck can't make us forget that other red-costumed New York superhero." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Splat |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Anderson is still a maddeningly cool filmmaker. He's remote from his characters, which makes him remote from his movies. There's also a way in which he uses race as a novelty, suggesting an assertively white-kid view of the world." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Splat |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"Despite the battered grandeur of Kurt Russell, this fable of rotten cops in Rodney King's L.A. is mostly macho posturing." |
Charles Taylor |
Splat |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"[Ledger gives] a fine performance regardless, and I wish the movie around it were more deserving." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Splat |
Dark Matter (2008) |
"It's an inelegant experiment that captures many intriguing moments as they pass, but ends up utterly baffled by the question of how its delightful central character becomes a tabloid-ready monster." |

Dark Water (2005) |
"Like so many recent thrillers of this ilk, many of them in some way exploiting the 'innocence' of childhood -- the dumb and unpleasant Hide and Seek springs to mind -- Dark Water falls apart in the wind-down." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Tomato |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"As far as semi-abandoned midwinter Hollywood compost goes, though, Darkness Falls basically brings home the bacon for horror fans." |

Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"It's a defiant act of optimistic patriotism. This is what Dave Chappelle's America looks like, and now that we get the idea, there's no reason we can't live in it too." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Splat |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"A big, dumb movie, another Hollywood entertainment that, instead of tweaking and teasing our brains for fun, leaves us feeling thick and stupid." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Tomato |
Day Night Day Night (2007) |
"Day Night Day Night has captured viewers' attention around the world for its remarkable craftsmanship, technical command and distinctive vision." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Tomato |
Day of Wrath (1943) |
"I'd be saving a spot for it near the top of my 10-best list if the movie hadn't been made 65 years ago." |

Days of Glory (2006) |
"I've never seen a picture quite like Days of Glory, which not only illuminates a forgotten patch of history, but also broadens and enriches the idea of what it means to be both a patriot, in the best sense of the word, and a citizen of the world." |
Stephanie Zacharek |

Days of Heaven (1978) |

The Dead Girl (2006) |
"There's no mistaking the integrity and craft on display here, and the writing and direction are too smart to dismiss The Dead Girl as victimology or man-hating." |

Deadgirl (2008) |
"Much of the allegorical force Harel and Sarmiento's film has built up is undone by its utterly conventional, lameass-switcheroo ending, which may be an indication that more than enough virtual ink has been spilled on this subject." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Tomato |
Death of a President (2006) |
"Range has a marvelous feel for the clichés and conventions of TV-news documentary, and the tone of mournful elegy he strikes here is both convincing and -- believe me, I'm shocked to be writing this -- moving." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Splat |
Death of a President (2006) |
"It's a stunt more than a movie, and if this is what's passing for intelligent liberal thought in this (or any other) country, we're really in trouble." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Tomato |
Death Proof (2007) |
"Much of this material is terrific in purely cinematic terms; one of Tarantino's saving graces as a filmmaker is his often surprising capacity for contemplative moments and patches of plotlessness." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Tomato |
Death Race (2008) |
"Death Race is cartoonishly brutal and pleasantly disreputable." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Splat |
Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"Death to Smoochy is all noise with very little fun, and almost no restraint." |

Splat |
Deception (2008) |
"To his credit, Langenegger keeps things relatively simple instead of resorting to lots of fast cutting and fancy camera angles. To his detriment, the picture he has made barely moves at all." |

Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Definitely, Maybe isn't a particularly good movie. It's hard to make either romance or comedy out of relationship wreckage, not to mention career ennui, and the pace is often meandering and sulky." |
Mary Elizabeth Williams |
Tomato |
Deja Vu (2006) |
"Washington is so casually, inherently likable that he makes wending through the movie's multiple implausibilities easier to bear." |
Stephanie Zacharek |
Tomato |
Delicatessen (1991) |
"Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet's film leaves you overwhelmed and breathless." |
Jenn Shreve |
Tomato |
Delirious (2007) |
"Delirious, is among DiCillo's best, and returns to the central theme of his career: the elusive and destructive nature of fame." |
Andrew O'Hehir |
Tomato |
Demonlover (2003) |
"The movie feels like a shambles, and yet it's a stunning example of a director in complete control of his material." |
Charles Taylor |
Tomato |
The Departed (2006) |
"Scorsese has put together a fantastic ensemble of actors: Some of the movie's best performances are the ones tucked into the corners, like Alec Baldwin's beefy, arrogant state police honcho." |
