The Da Vinci Code (2006)

"All told, the movie comes off as a too-hurried, too-superficial CliffsNotes reduction of a book that really can't withstand much in the way of simplification."

Dahmer (2002)

"While Jacobson doesn't excuse Dahmer's horrific actions ... he always goes for empathy with the character, and sometimes comes unforgivably close to presenting Dahmer as a kind of gay transgressive icon."

Dancer in the Dark (1999)

"Audacious and astonishing, devastating and detached, Lars von Trier's Dancer in the Dark has the ability to amaze and anger its audience, quite often in the same moment."

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)

"An intriguing inquiry into the ways fantasy and reality clash during the coming-of-age process."

Dans Paris (2007)

"The personal disconnections and interpersonal bonds the film explores are timeless."

Darfur Now (2007)

"Much of the film plays like a static lecture, and a repetitive one as well."

Dark Blue (2003)

"Russell makes a Herculean effort to pump life into Perry's hard-charge toward awful self-awareness, but Dark Blues' overall conception is too faulty for it much to matter."

Dark Matter (2008)

"A remarkable whisper of a movie as well, for something that deals with a subject as alarming as campus violence."

Darwin's Nightmare (2006)

"The most depressing and important movie you'll see this year."

Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006)

"There's an intimate, just-throwing-a-party feel to the whole bash, thanks to Chappelle's pretension-puncturing humor and the sense that, whatever their issues or accomplishments, the artists are there mainly to share some love with their fans."

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

"Frigid, absurd film."

Day Night Day Night (2007)

Days and Clouds (2008)

"Little is surprising about either characters’ behavior, but there isn’t a single anguished expression that plays forced or false."

The Dead Girl (2006)

"Disquieting examination of female suffering that asks you to look at people and see a common humanity. Nicely crafted, expertly acted, often unforgettable."

Dear Wendy (2005)

"This allegory about alienated young people who love their firearms to death is so mannered and pretentious that any worthwhile insights it may possess end up shot full of holes."

Death at a Funeral (2007)

"Dinklage makes the most of a thankless role. The remaining actors are all OK, all immediately forgettable -- like the movie itself."

Death Race (2008)

"A movie in which road rage is justified. Yours will be, too, if you spend $10 on this."

A Decade Under the Influence (2003)

"Fitfully interesting in its own right, but more useful as a device to point you toward checking out the original source material."

Dedication (2007)

"What works about it is very good and makes us want to see what Theroux could do with a more consistent property."

Deep Blue Sea (1999)

"One of the shrewder, more efficient terror machines that's followed Spielberg into the water."

Deep Water (2007)

"Humane and haunting."

Deja Vu (2006)

"This headache-inducing Back to the Future /CSI hybrid will have you wanting to travel back in time to buy a ticket for another movie."

Deliver Us From Eva (2003)

"Problem is, there are no real reasons why the intelligent, accomplished and in many ways very warm and decent Eva should possess a streak as nasty as she does."

The Departed (2006)

"You can feel Scorsese's exhilaration in every moment, of The Departed, and the experience is an adrenaline rush, pure and simple."

Derrida (2002)

"Those who managed to avoid the Deconstructionist theorizing of French philosopher Jacques Derrida in college can now take an 85-minute brush-up course with the documentary Derrida. Or, you can do something fun tonight."
