The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"Some of my best friends have read and enjoyed The DaVinci Code, and I will do my best not to hold that against them." |

Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"Isn't so much a case of a film exceeding my expectations as it is one that does not confirm my worst fears." |

The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"I could feel that this movie was almost a smashing success, that it could have been terrific with just a few tweaks here and there." |

Tomato A |
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"It sings like great films do, jumping off the screen with moments of stunning originality and devastating authenticity." |
Eugene Novikov |

Daredevil (2003) |
"It is a superhero story to which they brought the superhero but not the story." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"Essentially Training Day sans the retarded psycho-killer ending." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Dark City (1998) |
"It is a film noir that is either for teenage boys, sci-fi fanatics or movie geeks. It won't appeal to many. But if you fit into one of the above categories you will fall in love with Dark City." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"It's a movie about America, terrorism and the rule of law; about heroism and human nature. The dude in the bat suit is just window-dressing." |

Dark Water (2005) |
"It's a beautiful, beautiful film, one so expressive that you run out of adjectives to describe it and are reduced to repeating 'beautiful' and 'lovely' over and over." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"What a terrific title: graceful, creepy, foreboding, and totally undeserving of the repetitive, irritating horrorfest that sadly follows." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"Originality is an issue, but it's not the issue, and besides: the movie exhibits plenty in the execution, if not in the concept." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C- |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"In a film about the impending apocalypse, could no one think of anything more inspired than having the characters attacked by rampaging wolves?" |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Day Watch (2007) |
"It has fewer hallmarks of an epic, but it feels bigger, fuller -- a more complete work of fantasy." |

Days of Glory (2006) |
"Even stories that Must Be Told can use excitement and imagination." |

De-Lovely (2004) |
"A sterilization of a complicated man's life for non-entertainment purposes." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"A well-meaning, engaging story that fits perfectly into the mold of the dreary-but-uplifting British drama." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Death of a President (2006) |
"It's worth watching with grain of salt in tow. You may learn more about yourself than about the President or the war." |
Eugene Novikov |

Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"The funniest thing about De Vito's fiasco is the way it was abbreviated on the theater ticket: 'Death Smooch.'

Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Definitely, Maybe is what happens when someone decides to make a romantic comedy, then sits down and thinks about it for a while before setting out to write." |

Deliver Us From Eva (2003) |

The Departed (2006) |
"The film makes a convincing case, while you're watching, that it simply doesn't get much better than this: its mastery is nothing short of awe-inspiring." |

The Devil's Rejects (2005) |

The Dinner Game (1998) |
"I can't come right out and recommend this movie but it isn't a bad way to spend an evening, especially if the alternative selections don't appeal to you." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Dinosaur (2000) |
"Visually, it's even more astonishing than the high-profile trailers made it look, an astonishing blend of real-life backgrounds and computer-generated characters. It's a shame that the script seems to have been wholly computer generated as well." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A- |
Dirty Pretty Things (2003) |
"Seems to reveal a gruesome and outlandish side of the London immigrant experience; I'm not sure I believe it, but I like the spirit in which the film is made." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C- |
A Dirty Shame (2004) |
"So many significant films have to be edited to get an R rating, that this seems like a waste of a precious NC-17." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007) |
"Schnabel's visuals are so confident, so moving, that I wished he had truly taken charge rather than being led around by a screenplay that can't cut the mustard." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
Le Divorce (2003) |
"What sets the movie apart is the way it creates casually realistic characters and a compelling family dynamic." |

Don't Say a Word (2001) |
"Plodding and lacking in logic." |

Doom (2005) |
"It has its strengths, but it's clunky, awkward, and repetitive every step of the way." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
The Door in the Floor (2004) |
"A jarring cinematic experience, suggesting both an unusual respect for the audience and a frustrating unwillingness on the part of the filmmaker to get his hands dirty." |

Doubt (2008) |
"Streep and Hoffman are two of the most exciting actors we have, and their performances make Doubt an intense experience, almost akin to a thriller." |
