D.E.B.S. (2005) |
"With the fun, nonstop momentum of a Saturday morning cartoon, D.E.B.S. makes you forgive most of its shortcomings." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"May not be without faults, including some unlikely action montages and occasional overacting, but boredom is not one of them. This thing is about as dull as street luge." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"Grandparents of today don't need the Great Depression stories to shock the youngsters. You heard me right, son. Eddie Murphy was once funny." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"It sounds corny, and it is -- as are many other of the goofy sequences that seem lame on paper but work in execution. But that's family." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"Love 'em or leave 'em, Shelton's films set us up with tough-to-love characters, get us on their side, test the bond by showing us their dark side, then end with soulful redemption." |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Analyzing the successes of such a blistering, genre-defining masterwork (I'm already slipping) is tantamount to judging the contours of Michelangelo's David or evaluating the shading and form of Da Vinci's The Last Supper." |

Darshan - the Embrace (2006) |
"It may have been Ari Gold on HBO's "Entourage" who coined the phrase "hug it out," but it's Indian guru Amma who lives it." |

Darwin's Nightmare (2006) |
"Sauper's camera, which would fog up if it had tear ducts, looks over Tanzania's nastiness with gloomy forthrightness." |

Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"What should be a breezy, hand-waving romp turns out to be a misshapen, lazy flop. One moment it soothes the heart with sweet music, and the next it fries your ears with feedback." |

Day Night Day Night (2007) |
"In striving to nail down every excruciating detail of how an attack might take place, Loktev squanders forward momentum." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
Days of Glory (2006) |
"The horror of "Days of Glory" is that its hate and tolerance are not relics from the past, but are as real today as the flickering shadows on the screen." |
Phil Villarreal |

The Dead Girl (2006) |

Dead Man on Campus (1998) |
"An education in cheap, easy laughs." |

Dear Frankie (2005) |
"Sickeningly cruel or tenderly sweet. Sometimes it's one or the other; sometimes it's both at the same time. Perhaps the same statements are true of parenthood." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Death of a President (2006) |
"Theater bans give "Death of a President" the appeal of forbidden fruit, which is just enough to make watching the slipshod film a giddy experience." |

Death Race (2008) |
"Bravely takes on that philosophical quandary every one of us must face: What to do when a ninja breaks into your home, frames you for the murder of your wife and taunts you with a finger-gun motion?" |

Deliver Us From Evil (2006) |
"Some films make you think, some make you cry, and others make you cringe. "Deliver Us From Evil," which catalogs the destruction caused by a child-molesting Catholic priest, inspires all three reactions." |
