Tomato
B+

The Damned United (2009)

"Because United prefers human and industry conflict over playing field disputes, it makes the film an accessible and spellbinding showcase for tightly-suited antagonism and venomous verbal spray. This is a first-rate drama."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B-

Dance Flick (2009)

"I mean, come on: it's a scant 75 minutes long, contains a well-deserved swipe at the goofiness that is the Twilight saga, and features a beatboxing vagina. If that doesn't marginally entertain you, nothing will."

Brian Orndorf

-

The Dark Knight (2008)

"Brian Orndorf visits the "Dentmobile" van tour in Phoenix, promoting the Harvey Dent election campaign."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A

The Dark Knight (2008)

"Dark Knight is epic, frightening, unforgettable, unstoppable, and every inch a classic Batman trial, brought to life with disquieting, mouth-slashing sincerity."

Brian Orndorf

-

The Dark Knight (2008)

"Brian Orndorf eats his weight in Dark Knight Reese's Batman Candy."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B-

Dead Poets Society (1989)

"A bundle of growing pain blues, flamboyant declarations of self, and doomsday faculty foul-ups, and it cooks when delivered in big batches of adolescent passion."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C-

Dead Snow (2009)

"What should've been a rollicking, kick-the-air horror bonanza is instead reduced to a weirdly fruitless genre romp that looks to amuse and frighten, but only achieves a baffling, slightly mean-spirited tone."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Deal (2008)

"As a poker diversion, "Deal" should pass the time, but if you're hoping for a dramatically rewarding piece of filmmaking, your odds are better with a different movie."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Death Defying Acts (2008)

"Perhaps the film isn't a grandiose statement of splintered lives, but it's an agreeable drama, best when it stays close to the decomposing heart of a professional liar."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
F

Death Race (2008)

"The remake takes everything that was imaginative about the original feature and reduces it to an ear-splitting energy drink commercial, topped off with some of the worst filmmaking decisions to be found at the multiplex this year."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

Deception (2008)

"Frankly there's nothing sadder in the world than to watch a sex-laden film unable to climax properly."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
C

Defiance (2008)

"A respectable shot at a Holocaust story with uplifting qualities and plump moral questioning, Defiance is a handsome production, just not an especially inspiring one."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D+

Delgo (2008)

"After watching this offering of CG-animated fantasy fluff, I'm curious as to why it took so long to assemble what comes off as a routine family film experience; a film of almost dogged mediocrity."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
F

Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009)

"I'm not sure what entertainment itch Morgans is supposed to scratch, but as an obnoxious, poorly performed, and distastefully executed comedy, it's near the bottom of the barrel for 2009."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

Diminished Capacity (2008)

"A gentle, agreeable dramedy, Capacity reveals that Kinney has a unique hold on tone and shares a palpable charm with his actors."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
F

Disaster Movie (2008)

"I'm not sure if Disaster is the worst movie the boys have churned out, but, at this point, that's like asking if a bullet hurts more than a knife."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)

"A moody picture of extraordinary technical achievement, not a glazed retelling of holiday reform. The distance is unavoidable, but my hope is that audiences take the opportunity to drink in the astonishing craftsmanship of the film."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B-

District 9 (2009)

"Blomkamp is a filmmaker to watch, with absurdly precise visual instincts. But District 9 is his first film and it shows, bloating a fascinating fable to a point of collapse."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A

Do the Right Thing (1989)

"It's perhaps one of the greatest summer movies of all time. Do the Right Thing is as perfect as a film can get."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D

Donkey Punch (2009)

"What should've been a rowdy suspense piece that basks in the smirking idiocy of sexual myths and playground bedroom boasting is actually a toothless horror throwaway made on the cheap and elongated far beyond its expiration date."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D+

Doomsday (2008)

"Apparently Marshall was munching on a serious dosage of Escape from New York pills when manufacturing Doomsday, resulting in not only a comatose actioner, but a derivative one as well."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D+

Doomsday (2008)

"Doomsday is a mess of lousy filmmaking and unrelenting artistic bankruptcy, smashed together to form an ear-splitting, overcooked, awfully irritating shell of an experience."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A-

The Doomsday Machine (1967)

"Cinematic Titanic continues to build impressively toward something yet undefined, and Doomsday Machine is an impressive chapter of growth...an experience of sublime bad movie riffing from masters of the genre...the execution is uproarious and near-"

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A-

Doubt (2008)

"A beautiful machine of dramatics, Doubt entices with imposing actorly sway, yet leaves behind a resounding thematic residue that doesn't wash away."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B

Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)

"Horton Hears a Who still shines with a fresh coat of mass-appeal shellac, just don't walk in expecting something as cozy and magical as the original book."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
A-

Drag Me To Hell (2009)

"Hell is an efficient, exceptional shocker that serves up bucketfuls of jolts and icks with eye-bulging enthusiasm. It's honestly the best horror film I've seen in ages."

Brian Orndorf

Splat
D+

Dragonball: Evolution (2009)

"It's a flat take on wild narrative twists involving a shape-shifting villainess, magic balls, and a blistering finishing move called "The Kamehameha." With those ingredients, perhaps the animated realm is where the material should remain."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B-

Drillbit Taylor (2008)

"I don't know whether to laugh or cry when considering that the best moments within this Owen Wilson comedy are the times when Owen Wilson is nowhere near it."

Brian Orndorf

Tomato
B+

The Duchess (2008)

"The picture is a winner, thanks in no small part to Knightley and her accomplished ability to communicate utter despair with only a faint ripple of her porcelain features."

Brian Orndorf
