Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"I thought the best part about it was the performance of Björk, and my critique is more positive than negative because of her." |

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"An incredibly thoughtful and deliberately paced film" |

Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"In the light of day, it’s the kind of movie you’d go Coyote Ugly on in order to get away from." |

Tomato 7/10 |
Daredevil (2003) |
"In terms of comparison to other screen adaptations of popular comic books, I'd put this film just below X-Men." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Everyone who pretended to love Aquatic because they were afraid of hopping off the Anderson bandwagon because deep down they hoped it was just a little career hiccup? Don't lock your knees when you jump because you'll wreck 'em." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 4/10 |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"The rabble-rousing film takes it to a whole new level of offensive by carefully painting every white cop as evil and corrupt, while each black officer walks on water." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 4/10 |
Dark Blue World (2001) |
"Uneven and mediocre to the point where you wonder why anybody bothered to cook up this film." |
Jon Popick |

DarkBlueAlmostBlack (2007) |
"A nice first effort, but still in the middle of the pack, at best." |

Darkness Falls (2003) |
"Even worse than Kangaroo Jack, and that's a statement I was hoping not to make for at least a few more weeks (or until that Charlotte Church movie comes out)." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 6/10 |
Darwin's Nightmare (2006) |
"This isn't going to make you feel anything except miserable, nauseous and angry. And if that's what you're in for, why not just save your money for The Pink Panther remake?" |

Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"The highlight here is watching Dave hand out Golden Tickets to average people he ran into while doing his day-to-day in Dayton." |

Tomato 7/10 |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"An extremely rare example of a remake being better than its original, even though it lacks the tasty digs at consumerism." |

The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"Practically entertaining." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
Days (2002) |
"Loose ends are tied up way too neatly at the end, but Muscardin's direction, especially where she chooses to shoot some things out of focus, shows great promise." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Days and Clouds (2008) |
"Decent performances from the two leads." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Days and Hours (2004) |
"Recommendable for the acting, photography, and the fact that it’s a film about the effects of war that doesn’t mention war at all." |

Dead Birds (2004) |
"Other than the refreshing setting, there isn't much else going on in Birds that you haven't seen a million times anywhere else." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
The Dead Girl (2006) |
"A very unconventional way to tell a story we've seen about a million times, and for that (along with the lean 94-minute running time), I am thankful. Keep an eye on Moncrieff -- she's the real deal." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"Light and predictable, but it still got to me." |

Decasia: The State of Decay (2002) |
"If you're the kind of parent who enjoys intentionally introducing your kids to films which will cause loads of irreparable damage that years and years of costly analysis could never fix, I have just one word for you -– Decasia" |

Deficit (2007) |
"Bernal has worked with some of the planet's greatest directors so it comes as no surprise that the actor's directorial debut is accomplished, thoughtful and entertaining." |

Deliver Us From Eva (2003) |
"One of the 10 things I hate about movies is when I have to see the same stories over and over again. After all, there are only so many ways you can dress up a Pyg(malion)." |

The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006) |
"Even if you can't get into Johnston's music (count me in that group), this is to be filed under "must-see."" |

The Devil's Rejects (2005) |
"If Tarantino’s first film was an homage to ‘70s grindhouse horror films instead of Reservoir Dogs, he probably would have made this picture." |

Diamond Men (2001) |

Dinner Rush (2001) |
"You can tell the film is a labor of love, just like Big Night, and it stands a chance at making you nearly as hungry." |

Dinosaur (2000) |
"The voice work is merely adequate, with Marguiles, Sweeney and Alfre Woodard (Love & Basketball) particularly unstriking." |
