Dan in Real Life (2007)

"A surprisingly plain, sappy, even insipid comedy, considering the filmmaker behind it."

The Dark Knight (2008)

"An epic that will leave you staggering from the theater, stunned by its scope and complexity. It's also, thankfully, a vast improvement over his self-serious origin story, 2005's Batman Begins."

Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006)

"'This is the best single day of my career,' Chappelle says at the film's end, sitting down for a quiet moment after the music and laughter have stopped. And you absolutely believe him."

The Dead Girl (2006)

"Moncrieff never gets melodramatic with subject matter that easily could have been; she won’t make you feel good, but she will make you feel."

Death of a President (2006)

"And the point is … what, exactly?"

Deck the Halls (2006)

"It’s disappointing to see Broderick and DeVito try to make mediocre material work."

Deja Vu (2006)

"Whether or not you get that nagging sensation that you've seen Deja Vu before, your brain will seriously hurt trying to figure out whether its central gimmick works. (It doesn't.)"

The Descent (2006)

"The movie's thrill-and-chill sequences are nasty and suspenseful, though once the creatures start to attack, the scenes get repetitive."

The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

"Fun, flirty, spirited, sexy, you can't take your eyes off it. You've gotta have it. And then just as powerfully as it bursts onto the scene and commands your attention, it dies."

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

"For a pure summer power trip, it's a decent throwback to the pure-brawn heyday of Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, an agreeable respite from today's cartoonlike ballets of computer-generated action."

Digimon: The Movie (2000)

"[Parents] may be peering at their watches and sympathizing with the Digimon who wails, 'What do we have to do to stop this fighting?'"

Disney's The Kid (2000)

"The intriguing idea of The Kid is squandered with a simple-minded story line that never meaningfully scratches the surface of questions most people ask themselves."

District B13 (2006)

"The action is so relentless that even hard-core martial-arts fans might need to pause for breath. And much of it is so repetitive that the film occasionally plays like a rerun of itself."

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)

"Astonishingly beautiful and self-consciously so."

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

"Horton may hear a Who, but the rest of us may hear a lot of hoopla, and it's not all the charming sort you expect from a benign Seussian world."

Drag Me To Hell (2009)

"The dichotomies director Sam Raimi presents within that familiar genre are what make this such a kick."

Drillbit Taylor (2008)

"Do you hear that? That shrill, shrieking sound coming from your local multiplex? That would be the Judd Apatow machine slowly, steadily winding down after humming along so brilliantly for so long."

Drowning Mona (2000)

"Writer Peter Steinfeld and director Nick Gomez come through remarkably well."

Duets (2000)

"There are too many characters, subplots and themes going on at the same time, so it's hard to connect with any of them."

Duplicity (2009)

"Roberts looks great in her return to leading-lady status after a few years off -- strong, curvy, formidable -- and Owen drops the steamy glower he's adopted of late and almost seems to have a twinkle in his eye this time around."
