C-

Dancer in the Dark (1999)

"It hits all the cheap little notes of viewer manipulation that Hollywood hacks rely on to wring tears from the dramatically challenged suckers in the crowd."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
4/5

Dangerous Liaisons (1988)

"Perhaps the juciest adaptation of the story that one could hope for."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)

"Even though it is infused with the sensibility of a video director, it doesn't make for completely empty entertainment"

Jason Clark

Tomato
B+

Dark Days (2000)

Jason Clark

Tomato
5/5

Day for Night (1973)

"One of the great tributes to the art of moviemaking, Truffaut has never made a film as warm or generous."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
A-

The Day I Became A Woman (2001)

"It makes its characters specific enough to relate to, but even more wonderful is how it makes you discover new things for yourself in their brief stories."

Jason Clark

Tomato
3/5

Dead Alive (1993)

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
3/5

Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982)

Dead or Alive (2001)

"Plays much more like an afterthought on wickedness than an actual essay on the topic."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
B

Death to Smoochy (2002)

"Its cruel pointlessness zaps Williams back into the fearless encroachment his best work has contained."

Chuck Rudolph

Splat
D

Death to Smoochy (2002)

"Despite its muddy color palette and chaotic reliance on toothless histrionics, the film's distorted vision, far from being dark, is staggeringly pale."

Joe McGovern

Tomato
B

The Decline of Western Civilization III (1998)

Jason Clark

Tomato
A-

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

"The emotional edge in Harlin's direction [is] unquestionably as impressive as his action expertise is."

Chuck Rudolph

Splat
D

The Deep End (2001)

"A mercilessly incompetent thriller that’s easily as soulless (and brainless) as Tomb Raider or Planet of the Apes or Jurassic Park III."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
short

The Deep End of the Ocean (1999)

"Kudos to Michelle Pfeiffer and Treat Williams."

Chuck Rudolph

Splat
1/5

Dersu Uzala (1975)

"Beautifully photographed but far too isolated in its characterizations."

Chuck Rudolph

Splat
D

Desert Blue (1998)

"Another reason to abolish the now-abhorrent [Sundance] festival altogether."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
B

Detroit Rock City (1999)

"The notion of music's cultural definition for people isn't taken for granted by Detroit Rock City's makers."

Chuck Rudolph

Splat
C-

The Devil's Backbone (2001)

"The Devil's Backbone stands out because of its rich desert-dust palette of golden brown, but otherwise takes no discernable visual stance."

Jeremiah Kipp

Splat
F

Diamonds (1999)

"[Not] a work of art, or even entertainment, but the filmic commensurate of a crippled panhandler using his handicap to beg for sympathy and change on a streetcorner."

Chuck Rudolph

Splat
F

Dick (1999)

"The movie quickly thunders downhill like a massive boulder, effectively trampling things like common sense, taste, and, most importantly, historical significance."

Rob Morlino

Splat
2/5

Distant Thunder (1988)

"Lithgow's raw performance helps to counteract the run-of-the-mill plot."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
B

Divided We Fall (2001)

"Replaces the melodrama of Life is Beautiful with tangible human matter, and its over-beating heart with battle-tested guts."

Joe McGovern

Splat
C

Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002)

"Like an Overacting Anonymous meeting for prestigious female actresses eager to try their hands at obnoxious braying and outrageously broad antics."

Nick Schager

Splat

Dogma (1999)

"Turns into a waste of time about a fourth of the way through."

Chuck Rudolph

Jason Clark

Splat

Don't Let Me Die On Sunday (1998)

"Don't let yourself watch this on a Sunday--or any other day, for that matter."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
B+

Donnie Darko (2001)

"There was no easy logline for Donnie Darko. That’s probably why it was doomed to become one of 2001’s best movies no one heard of."

Jeremiah Kipp

Tomato
A

Donnie Darko (2001)

"A knockout sense of unpredictability and originality that for two full hours (and hundreds of hours after that) blooms magnificently in your mind and right before your eyes."

Joe McGovern

Splat
D

Double Jeopardy (1999)

"Everyone who plunked down $9.50 to see it could have most likely, at that moment the money left their hands, turned on the USA network and found the exact same movie playing."

Dr. Akagi (1998)

"At its best when focusing on its motley crew of characters."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
B+

Dr. T and the Women (2000)

"Gere appears in his finest hour here, radiating with exactly the right amounts of vulnerability, cockiness, and warmth."

Joe McGovern

Tomato

Dracula (1931)

"Classic Horror meets DVD"

Joshua Vasquez

Splat

Dracula 2000 (2000)

Dragonfly (2002)

"More than ninety minutes of unadulterated dullness."

Driven (2001)

"The most inept and cataclysmic motion picture to get released since Battlefield Earth."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
5/5

The Driver (1978)

"An all-time great action movie. Hill's existential musings are made palpable with the soulful performances by O'Neal and Adjani."

D

Drowning Mona (2000)

"In going out of their way to make the characters shocking and graceless, the filmmakers forgot that it's necessary for the audience to enjoy spending time with the characters."

Chuck Rudolph

Tomato
C+

Duets (2000)

"It isn't a good movie by any means, yet strange and insignificant enough to smile along with nonetheless."

Joe McGovern
