Splat 2/4 |
The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"Ron Howard's adaptation of Dan Brown's bestseller is punishingly long, dramatically overwrought and fatally short on the thrills we demand from summertime blockbusters." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Daddy Day Camp (2007) |
"Some would argue that kids aren't as jaded as adults, and will enjoy an agonizingly unfunny experience like Daddy Day Camp just fine. Using the same rationale, you could feed them Alpo." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"Aimed at viewers young enough still to need day care." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Daddy's Little Girls (2007) |
"In Daddy's Little Girls, Tyler Perry merits an A for the messages he wants to deliver but only a C-plus for the way he delivers them." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"For all its by-the-numbers plotting, Dan in Real Life is winningly good-natured and funny." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"What could have been a routine cop-vs.-killer melodrama instead becomes a character-rich, substantial film with important insights about love, justice and honor." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Danny Deckchair (2004) |

The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"The Darjeeling Limited is a step toward maturity for Anderson, too. His visual ideas are still overcalculated and the tone is often precious, but emotionally he seems to have expanded." |

The Dark Crystal (1982) |
"You have to love a fantasy whose greatest peril is the Bog of Eternal Stench." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Nolan hasn't simply made a popcorn movie for brainiacs. He's an increasingly self-assured director of action sequences." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Dark Water (2005) |
"Dark Water is a lesson in how to transform atmospheric J-horror into soggy B filmmaking." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Darshan - the Embrace (2006) |
"Director Jan Kounen clearly reveres his subject, too; you begin yearning for some skeptics to restore the balance, but they never appear." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Darwin's Nightmare (2006) |
"As much a sociological horror movie as a documentary, this artfully chilling film examines what happens to a nation's environment, economy and political ecology when the law of the jungle is allowed free rein." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"Dave Chappelle's Block Party confirms that he's not just instinctually funny, he has impeccable musical taste." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"A shallow but potent gore-gasm that will make audiences scream, whoop, cringe, laugh and yell at the screen." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"The film exists primarily to stir the senses, and on that score it is an overwhelming achievement." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Day Watch (2007) |
"Spectaculars don't come much more bombastic than this goth-Russian supernatural epic." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Days of Glory (2006) |
"It's a war movie burning with discontent, a moving reminder of the sacrifices that Algerian Muslim infantrymen made for a motherland that treated them abominably." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 0.5/4 |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"What worse hell could a showman endure than a tin-eared procession of his greatest hits?" |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Dead Man's Bounty (2007) |
"This pierogi western disassembles the genre mechanics of the gunslinger movie and makes a Dada collage of its gears and springs." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dead Silence (2007) |
"A gothic chiller in which morbid atmospherics and simmering suspense build to an ingenious third-act climax." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"In the insightful hands of first-time filmmaker Shona Auerbach and veteran actors who play their roles with intelligence, the movie deftly ducks the schmaltz." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2/4 |
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"Even at a brisk 90 minutes, though, the show begins to feel like a memorial that has dragged on too long. Comedy plus bad timing equals disappointment." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Death of a President (2006) |
"While it dazzlingly manipulates snippets of film to create a genuine-looking docudrama, its knee-jerk, black-and-white political imagination never equals its technical expertise." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006) |
"Puiu maintains a strong current of suspense about the outcome -- despite the title, will this Lazarus be revived? --- and a bracingly cynical sense of humor that rescues the material from being a total downer." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Death Sentence (2007) |
"Death Sentence takes the pulp revenge thriller to the edge. And then falls off." |

Deception (2008) |
"The plot comes together in Madrid in a whirl of multimillion-dollar swindles and gunplay, and for all its contrived surprises, it has the feel of a well-designed mousetrap snapping shut." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Deck the Halls (2006) |

Deep Sea (IMAX) (2006) |
"The movie has little new to offer to conservation." |

Defiance (2008) |
"The resistance drama Defiance just doesn't seem to have anything to add to the swastika overload currently clogging the nation's theaters." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"Definitely, Maybe proves that there are still innovative ways to tell the oldest story of all, the one about two people falling in love." |

Deja Vu (2006) |

Deliver Us From Evil (2006) |
"No report I have seen takes us so disturbingly inside the mind of the abuser as Amy Berg's Deliver Us From Evil." |

Delta Farce (2007) |
"The liveliest battle in this atrocious service comedy is fighting the urge to leave midway through." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Departed (2006) |
"If the story suffers initially from a slight lack of focus, hang in there, because you will soon become immersed in a mesmerizing, expertly plotted cat-and-mouse game." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Departures (2009) |
