The Da Vinci Code (2006) |

Tomato |
Dahmer (2002) |
"Star Jeremy Renner seems shorter than Dahmer, but is otherwise a look-alike and gives a convincingly intense and weird performance." |
|
Splat |
Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"[Von Trier's] work starts to feel bloated, self-important, and boring." |
|
Splat |
Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2001) |
"The strippers each fit into nice clearly delineated archetypes (a function of most strippers' personas, but one you don't expect to be as well defined in their real lives)." |
|
Splat |
"Give Care and McFarlane points for trying to do something innovative with the same old thing. But realize that, as spruced up as the facade may be, this movie is indeed still the same old thing." |

Danny Deckchair (2004) |

Tomato |
Dark Blue World (2001) |
"The filmmakers give us a bitter taste of both the Nazi and Red regimes and take pains to remind us that one form of totalitarianism is no less cruel than another." |
|
Tomato |
The Dark Crystal (1982) |
"Immerses us in a familiar yet utterly unique world that's deeper, wider and more vibrantly alive than any mere puppetry." |
|
Splat |
The Dark Crystal (1982) |
"Yeah, the puppets look neat; too bad the story's stupid and the voice-acting sucks." |
|
Dark Water (2005) |
|||
Tomato 4/5 |
Darkman (1990) |
"Some of Liam Neeson's finest work. Effectively Raimi's audition for Spider-Man." |
|
Darkness Falls (2003) |
|||
Tomato 5/5 |
Das Boot (1982) |
"The closest thing to being in real submarine combat that the movies will ever present." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Dawn of the Dead (1978) |
"Simply the best zombie horror flick ever made" |
|
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"Apparently Armageddon resembles the mosh pit at a Korn concert." |
||
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
|||
Tomato |
The Day I Became A Woman (2001) |
"A spare film, with little dialogue but a lot to say." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
The Day of the Locust (1975) |
"Much has been made of the climactic riot scene, which may have seemed novel when Nathanael West first wrote it back in the '30s, but it's just plain goofy when viewed today" |
|
Days of Being Wild (1990) |
|||
Splat 2/5 |
Dead Again (1991) |
"Really pretty lame." |
|
Dead Daughters (2007) |
"Russia apparently hasn't yet received the news that the "J-horror" films as a trend are over" |
||
Splat |
Dead or Alive (2001) |
"While the whole is diverting, the ending's utter repudiation of reality seems like pissing on the audience." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Dead Poets Society (1989) |
"Generally fairly tedious and predictable, without being especially believable." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Dead Ringers (1988) |
"Irons' best performance ever, times two -- but it's hard to like a film this cold." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Dead Tired (1995) |
No article available. |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
The Dead Zone (1983) |
"The classic Walken role, by which all subsequent ones are measured. Possibly the best Stephen King adaptation too." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
Deadline (1987) |

Dear Wendy (2005) |
|||
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
|||
Tomato 3/5 |
Death Becomes Her (1992) |
"Some neat ideas in this flick, all of them way overplayed." |
|
Tomato |
Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"DeVito has a knack for the material, and it's his ability to balance the toxic goofball heart of American television with complicated adult conflicts, particularly revenge, that brings Resnick's script to life." |
|
Tomato |
The Debut (2000) |
"All involved seem keyed into the subtextual subtleties of a story that, while simple on the surface, is exceedingly rich underneath." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
The Decalogue Box Set (1988) |
"Who knows how often you'll actually want to watch the whole thing, but it's masterful film-making nonetheless." |
|
Tomato |
The Deep End (2001) |
"McGehee and Siegel have made an engrossing, often enlightening character study." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
The Deer Hunter (1978) |
"Overlong, but with moments of greatness." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Delicatessen (1991) |
"An auspicious debut for Jeunet that tends to be overly praised, but is definitely worth seeing." |
|
Deliver Us From Eva (2003) |
|||
Tomato 4/5 |
Deliverance (1972) |
"It doesn't all hold together, but when it does, it scares you into never ever wanting to vacation down South." |
|
"Deuce may be the only role Schneider will ever be good in, but that'll do." |
|||
Splat |

"Been there, done that... a thousand times already, and better." |
|
Tomato |
The Devil's Backbone (2001) |
"For those who can stomach this kind of thing, [del Toro has] delivered a haunting work of art that will stay with you for some time." |
|
The Devil's Rejects (2005) |
|||
Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) |
|||
Tomato 5/5 |
Dick Tracy (1990) |
"A ground-breaking and striking comic-based movie, though the villains are too easily vanquished" |
|
Die Another Day (2002) |
"Tamahori pumps a tremendous amount of energy into his Bond movie, and it's an electrifying ride." |
||
Tomato 5/5 |
Die Hard (1988) |
"Slower to get going than I remembered -- and that's a good thing" |
|
Tomato |
Dinner Rush (2001) |
"You'll be rewarded with some of the finest ensemble acting this year." |
|
Splat |
Dinosaur (2000) |
"Tougher-minded children among us may find it hard to sit, without embarrassment, through this bizarre mixture of paleontology, preposterous anthropomorphism, and fuzzy-headed New Age myth-making." |
|
Splat |
Dirt Boy (2001) |
"There's nothing here that John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness didn't do much better." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
