Tomato 2.5/4 |
D.E.B.S. (2005) |
"It still has some of the fun jokes and the carefree, slam-bang premise, but lacks the punch of its predecessor." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"The script explains everything twice, spelling out the big words three times, so that even if you've never heard of Jesus or Mary Magdalene you can still figure out this story." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Dahmer (2002) |
"This film was made by and for those folks who collect the serial killer cards and are fascinated by the mere suggestion of serial killers. For the rest of us, sitting through Dahmer's two hours amounts to little more than punishment." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Damned United (2009) |
"[A] very vivid, affectionately prickly film." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"Dan in Real Life is an odd title for a movie that hasn't the slightest concept of real life." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
Dance Flick (2009) |
"The whole enterprise seems hopelessly out of date and out of step, especially when you consider such brainy, pointed parodies as last summer's Tropic Thunder." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"Von Trier is vicious when it comes to milking the melodrama." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"It's a wishy-washy picture; Malkovich should have whole-heartedly embraced either the politics or the pulp." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Danger: Diabolik (1968) |
"Looking at the film on Paramount's superb new DVD, it's clear that a neglected masterpiece of the genre has now emerged." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959) |
"One of the rare few family movies that should enchant both children and grown-ups." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Daredevil (2003) |
"It's not bad so much as it is disposable and forgettable." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Dario Argento's Tenebre (1982) |
"In a way, it could be [Argento's] most personal film." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Captures the wistful woe and longing that drove the best parts of Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
Dark Blue World (2001) |
"The problem is that Casablanca is Casablanca and Dark Blue World is not." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 4/4 |
Dark City (1998) |
"The sound and visuals of this movie are not to be missed on the big screen if at all possible." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
Dark Forces (1980) |
"This horror film has a high-quality, professional feel but somehow lacks tension or any emotional connection." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Dark Half (1993) |
"Legendary horror director George A. Romero takes this material seriously and lends a real intimacy -- and real dread -- to it." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"I loved The Dark Knight... It's unbelievably dark and uncompromised; it's the film noir we deserve for our terrifying 21st century." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Dark Passage (1947) |
"One of the great San Francisco films." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Dark Water (2005) |
"As a scare film, it's a dud." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Darkness (2003) |
"A good case of style over substance." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Darwin Awards (2006) |
"A delightful, winning tribute to those annual kudos given to people who died from sheer stupidity, thereby improving the gene pool." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
Date With An Angel (1987) |
"Beart will take your breath away each time she's on screen." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Daughter of Dr. Jekyll (1958) |
"This horror film from Edgar G. Ulmer suffers from a much lower budget, but nonetheless retains the touch of its poverty-row master." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"Chappelle invents a few routines involving the backing band that had me wiping away hysterical tears." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Dawn of the Dead (1978) |
"Upon a second viewing, Dawn of the Dead is still just as scary and just as relevant (more so than the remake)." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"Funnier than anything since Battlefield Earth." |

A Day in the Country (1936) |
"It's one of his most beautiful films, and one in which he purposely aped his father's painting style." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Day of the Dead (1985) |
"Darker and more contained than the first two, this is one film that deserves a second look." |

Day of Wrath (1943) |
"Dreyer's fluid, softly moving camera that takes in long, slow shots heightens the sensual nature of the film as well as its mystery." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Day the Earth Stood Still (1951) |
"Very good, but slowish and slightly high-minded." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Day Watch (2007) |
"This sequel to the convoluted Night Watch offers more of the same." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Days of Being Wild (1990) |
"Wong's always-striking visual style uses floating, neon colors and extreme angles to emphasize disconnected souls." |

Days of Glory (2006) |
"Pedestrian... employs all the usual chestnuts." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Days of Heaven (1978) |
"It is among the most startlingly beautiful of color films. But it is not beauty for beauty's sake... The seemingly random shots have a divine order to them." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Dazed and Confused (1993) |
"Not only portrays flawlessly a 24-hour period on the last day of school in 1976, but it captures the crushing boredom of a small town." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"It's afraid to move too far one way or the other. For a movie about the man who wrote "Let's Misbehave," there's an awful lot of behaving going on here." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Dead (1988) |
"A true labor of love -- a masterpiece, and perhaps the crowning achievement of a long, varied and highly celebrated career." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Dead Girl (2006) |
"Moncrieff unfurls her tales with the poetic intensity of short stories." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Dead Man (1996) |
"A visual, poetic journey not unlike Coppola's Apocalypse Now." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Dead Man Walking (1995) |
"Dead Man Walking is one courageous film, one of the very best of its time." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |

Dead of Night (1945) |
"Absolutely one of the spookiest films ever made." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Dead or Alive (2001) |
"Miike is now finally ready to blow a hole the size of a sumo wrestler in American movie theaters." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Dead Ringers (1988) |
"This is arguably David Cronenberg's masterpiece." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
Dead Silence (2007) |
"Though it contains few chilling images, mainly involving creepy ventriloquist dummies and scary faces advancing toward the camera, the story is fairly routine." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Dead Zone (1983) |
"Cronenberg tells the story with measured strokes and a sure emotional touch as well as nifty blasts of horror." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Deal (2005) |
"Most of the action takes place in board meetings, with characters handing each other secret memos or talking on the phone; it's a shockingly non-visual movie." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
