Da (1988)

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Daddy Day Camp (2007)

"The juvenile actors come off as movie brats, and the pacing is slowed by treacly speeches about father-son bonding. As a child star on The Wonder Years, director Fred Savage worked with some of TV's best, but you'd never guess it from this."

Andrea Gronvall

Daddy Long Legs (1955)

Don Druker

Tomato

Daddy's Little Girls (2007)

"Dismissed by critics but embraced by African-American audiences, Tyler Perry now opens his pictures without press previews, but on the basis of this expert melodrama he might want to reconsider."

J. R. Jones

Damnation (1987)

"The near miracle is that something so compulsively watchable can be made out of a setting and society that seem so depressive and petrified."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Damnation Alley (1977)

Dave Kehr

Tomato

The Damned United (2009)

"[Michael Sheen] adds to his gallery of public figures (Tony Blair, David Frost) with a sharp performance here as the legendary UK soccer coach Brian Clough."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

A Damsel in Distress (1937)

"Burns and Allen were imported to balance her lack of humor; their presence is certainly welcome, and their work with Astaire is surprisingly effective."

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Dan in Real Life (2007)

"The setup of this comedy by director-cowriter Peter Hedges and some subsequent twists may be contrived, and the laughs aren't very plentiful, but much of the behavior seems real, and the able cast makes the most of it."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Dancehall Queen (1996)

2/4

Dancer in the Dark (1999)

"Selma asks for so little, complains so seldom, and is in such perpetual denial about her problems that I find her virtually indigestible as a character."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Dancers (1987)

Click here to see the review.

Splat

Dances with Wolves (1990)

"Sincere, capable, at times moving, but overextended, this picture is seriously hampered by its tendency to linger over everything -- especially landscapes with silhouetted figures, and not excluding its own good intentions."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Dans Paris (2007)

"The situation is less interesting than Honoré's eclectic style..."

Daredevil (2003)

"[A] dull actioner."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

Darfur Now (2007)

"Nelson Mandela may not have defeated South African apartheid, but his story mobilized worldwide protest, which explains the focus on individuals in this effective advocacy film about the genocide in Darfur."

J. R. Jones

-

Dario Argento's World of Horror (1985)

Click here to see the review.

Tomato

The Darjeeling Limited (2007)

"What this movie has going for itself in spite of its cloying pleas for indulgence is a playful and interesting narrative structure that precludes much development and comes to the fore only toward the end."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

-

Dark Blue (2003)

Dark City (1998)

"A mishmash of iconography lifted from better movies."

The Dark Corner (1946)

"A pretty good thriller."

Don Druker

-

Dark Journey (1937)

Tomato

The Dark Knight (2008)

"Christopher Nolan's second Batman adventure is the rare blockbuster that left me engaged and thoughtful instead of bored and bummed out."

J. R. Jones

Tomato

Dark Matter (2008)

"First-time director Chen Shi-Zheng shows great sensitivity to the pressure and isolation felt by Chinese brains at American universities, and the relationship between Liu and Quinn provides a rare look at the intellectual serfdom of graduate study."

J. R. Jones

-

The Dark Past (1949)

Click here to see the review.

Dave Kehr

Tomato

Dark Star (1974)

"By introducing human eccentricities into the cold structure of SF, Carpenter creates a vision of the technological future that is both disillusioned and oddly affirmative in its insistence on the unscientific survival of emotional frailty."

Dave Kehr

Splat

Dark Streets (2008)

"This charmless fantasy tries to recapture the mix of hot jazz and cold cynicism that lit up Chicago, adding a dash of punk for good measure"

J. R. Jones

Tomato

Darkman (1990)

"Raimi's flair for jazzy visual effects and extravagant action sequences, combined with direction that's full of punch and energy, makes this the best pop roller-coaster ride around."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

Darkness (2003)

"As in most bad horror flicks, intimations of unspeakable evil are supposed to distract us from the yawning gaps in story logic and character motivation."

J. R. Jones

Splat

Darkness Falls (2003)

"It begins with not one but two prologues; one character turns up out of nowhere, his introduction no doubt left on the cutting-room floor; and the paltry 85-minute running time includes 15 minutes of end credits."

J. R. Jones

Date Movie (2006)

"[Mocks] movies that were much funnier than this one."

Tomato

Daughters of the Dust (1991)

"The resources of the beautiful locations are exploited to the utmost, and [director Julie] Dash can be credited with an original, daring, and sincere conception."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Tomato

Dave (1993)

"An overall mood of sweetness may help one to forgive the archaic and childish aspects of the would-be analysis, which splits everyone between angels and devils."

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Splat

David and Lisa (1962)

"Probably not everything it was cracked up to be in 1963."

Jonathan Rosenbaum
