The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"For years I've been saying that Ron Howard is a good director and not a great one. He's not equal to those that some might consider his peers." |

The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"Hanks' portrays Langdon in a very subdued, almost passionless, manner, making him a quiet intellectual who walks slowly through the world around him, seemingly under a barrage of symbols that he sees so clearly. Ian McKellen, on the other hand, exudes the" |

The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"In their desire to get things just right, Ron Howard and company have managed to create a safe, respectable movie drained of any real inspiration or hint of provocation." |

Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs (2005) |
"In between the bits of conversation, the viewer is bombarded with photograph after photograph, video after video, of streaky, grainy, or downright hoaxy photographs of unidentified lights and objects..." |

The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"From the Oscar nominated dramatic powerhouses, John Malkovich and Javier Bardem, comes an English language drama exploring real life terrorism in 1980s Latin America. As the opening film at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival, 'The Dancer Upstairs' is hoping" |

Daredevil (2003) |
"Not surprisingly, 2003 already has three Marvel adaptations on the release schedule; in order, 'Daredevil,' 'X-Men 2,' and 'The Hulk.' While most audiences will be able to recognize the latter two, 'Daredevil' may have slipped beneath their radar." |

Darkness (2003) |

Date Movie (2006) |
"The only mystery left unsolved about this DVD is exactly what made it unrated? For the language? The tasteless gross-out humor? The slow-motion scenes with Sophie Monk?" |

Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"What Dave Chappelle's comedy does is present a side that you haven't seen before on certain issues, often related to race and equality. And he has succeeded in bringing these views to a largely white, college audience." |

David and Bathsheba (1951) |

Death to Smoochy (2002) |

Dharma & Greg - Season 1 (1997) |

Disturbia (2007) |
