The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"If there's a flavor to describe director Ron Howard's all-too-faithful adaptation, it's vanilla." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"A pleasant if predictable romp." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Daddy's Little Girls (2007) |
"In terms of direction, this is the sharpest film Perry has made. It moves at a deft pace, and the comedic sequences continually score. He also knows how to create a mood." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Damned United (2009) |
"Vile, hateful and undeniably funny." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"To call this feel-good comedy conservative is to cede 'family values' to the realm of politics, which, despite a vague NPR-ishness to the characters, is something Real Life refuses to do." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"Delivers a haunting story of crime and passion." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"Although McFarlane's sequences are inventive, the rest of the film moves languidly." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Dripping with Wes Anderson's patented blend of whimsy and melancholy, The Darjeeling Limited is the story of three brothers traveling across India in search of themselves." |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Whatever trepidations Ledger may have had about taking on such an iconic role, he blows past them brilliantly, carrying The Dark Knight along with him." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dark Water (2005) |
"Some may consider Dark Water too leisurely paced, but it's refreshing to see a film that doesn't shoo the ghost from a closet in the first half hour." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1/5 |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"When Darkness Falls, it pretty much trips over its own feet." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"Block Party is an uproarious good time, part documentary, part concert film, part who knows what?" |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 1.5/5 |
David & Layla (2008) |
"David and Layla is proof, if proof be needed, that good intentions just aren't enough." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"Dawn of the Dead is just plain fun." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"Director Roland Emmerich wows us with end-of-the-world special effects while doling out the usual schmaltzy plot and cornball dialogue." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Day Watch (2007) |
"Every bit as puzzling as its predecessor, but it's shot in such a bold, crazy way that you have to admire its pure audacity." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
A Day Without A Mexican (2004) |
"By the film's end, we're more beleaguered than enlightened." |

Days of Glory (1944) |

Tomato 4/5 |
Days of Glory (2006) |
"The movie is more about what happens between the battles than during them. It's the plight of the men, fighting for an army that considers them second-class citizens, that raises Days of Glory above your average war movie." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"Bungled, empty and tortuously constructed." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"The film works as a highlight tape for the cast and will satisfy any desire you have to be driven to the brink of tears." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"An old-fashioned English farce with enough gross-out humor to rival the dumb and dumberest of American movies, but also enough smarts to make your pleasure guilt-free." |
Kerry Lengel |
Splat 2/5 |
Death Race (2008) |
"Anderson's take is ultraviolent, ridiculously stupid and kind of a rush. If your brain has an 'off' switch, you're well-advised to use it. And the carnage is relentless." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2/5 |
Death Sentence (2007) |
"Death Sentence most certainly is not a good movie." |

Deception (2008) |
"Deception is kind of like the Oscars. Both plod lamely at the beginning, milking inane dialogue, before trying to squeeze far too much into the last little bit." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat |
Deck the Halls (2006) |
"It's not horrible, but every sight gag and 'real meaning of Christmas' speech has been seen and heard before, and it steals gratuitously from Chevy Chase's masterpiece National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." |
Annemarie Moody |
Tomato 3/5 |
Defiance (2008) |
"Plays at times more like a soap opera than what it really is, a story that more of the world deserves to know." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Definitely, Maybe is definitely a cut above your standard-issue genre fare, maybe way above." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Deja Vu (2006) |
"There are no surprises to be had." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 3/5 |
Delgo (2008) |
"The animation is well done, but the story meanders between kid-pleasing slapstick and more serious good-vs.-evil fare." |
Bill Goodykoontz |

Deliver Us From Eva (2003) |
"After awhile, a certain sameness settles over Deliver Us From Eva." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Deliver Us From Evil (2006) |
"Deliver Us Evil is more terrifying than any horror movie, because it's about something that really happened." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Demonlover (2003) |
"A stark, unsettling movie, one that grows darker and stranger with every little twist in the plot." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Departed (2006) |
"It took a while, but Martin Scorsese has returned to the Mean Streets." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Departures (2009) |
"The winning nature of the performances outweighs Takita's more obvious choices." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Derailed (2005) |
"Not since Fatal Attraction have the potential pitfalls of marital infidelity been so frighteningly portrayed in a movie." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Descent (2006) |
"Sorry, George Lucas, but CGI creatures usually look pretty fake; the crawlers, however, are quite realistic and creepy, especially as they skitter over the walls and roofs of the caves." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1/5 |
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005) |
"There's nothing wrong with stupid, gross-out humor if it's funny. But if it's not funny, all you're left with is stupid and gross." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006) |
"The Devil and Daniel Johnston is an unflinching yet loving look at the outsider musician's life. It's also the most revealing look at genius and mental illness since Terry Zwigoff's 1994 documentary Crumb." |
Michael Senft |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Devil Came On Horseback (2007) |
"The Devil Came on Horseback is a documentary about the genocide in that part of Africa, and the film's strength is that it shows us the horror, rather than tells us about it. It's painful to watch." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |
"The Devil Wears Prada is a clear case of able actors elevating an ordinary script, a movie that's as entertaining to watch as it's easy to predict." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Devil's Rejects (2005) |
"Irredeemable trash, plain and simple, gratuitously violent and sadistic and aimed at people who derive entertainment from watching other human beings suffer." |

Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005) |
"A lot of it shouldn't work -- and doesn't -- but even while you're sitting there, thinking that it can't go much farther off track, it manages to be fairly involving." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 3/5 |
Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star (2003) |
"An amiable-enough Spade vehicle that lacks that certain something, but still manages to generate its fair share of giggles." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Die Another Day (2002) |
"It's better than the last film, The World Is Not Enough, but it doesn't really recapture the old vim and vigor." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |
"Director Len Wiseman never lets the movie slow down enough for us to think about what's happening. And he gives us some amusing things to keep us occupied, including one particularly fitting cameo." |
