Rating	Title Year	Quote	Author

Splat F	The Da Vinci Code (2006)	"That it is risible and dim-witted doesn't make it less disgusting."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B-	Daredevil (2003)	"A comic-book movie made for fans by a fan, writer-director Mark Steven Johnson. The more familiar you are with the title character's history and the world of comics generally, the more you're likely to appreciate this retelling."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat C	The Dark Crystal (1982)	"A distant, uninvolving experience … characters and emotions, even by the archetypal standards of high fantasy, never come to life, and the overarching mythology seems too self-consciously contrived."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A+	The Dark Knight (2008)	"Delves so deeply into the darkness that lurks in the hearts of men that it comes almost as a shock, bordering on euphoria, to find that it maintains a tenacious grip onto hope in the human potential for good."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)	"More thoughtful and restrained than most sci-fi of the period, The Day the Earth Stood Still has aged better than almost all of its peers."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A	Dead Man Walking (1995)	Click here to see the review.	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A	The Decalogue Box Set (1988)	"Far from being morality tales, these short stories are closer to parables — at least, they are as confounding and strange as Jesus' parables were to his first hearers."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato 3/4	Deja Vu (2006)	"If it isn't the brilliant film it could have been, D�j� Vu still contains enough flashes of that film to make it entertaining while you're watching it."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A	Dersu Uzala (1975)	"To Arseniev, Dersu embodies something civilized men have lost… Neither can really understand the other — which is precisely what makes their friendship so special."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	Destry Rides Again (1939)	"The conceit of the seeming milksop who’s actually tougher than the hooligans was already a cliché when the movie was made, but Destry has a few twists to keep things interesting."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat C	The Detective (1954)	"What’s become here of Fr.�Brown’s self-effacing humanism?"	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A+	The Diary of a Country Priest (1950)	"Profoundly contemplates suffering, conversion, incorrigibility, and the dark night of the soul with rigor and insight evoking the Confessions or Story of a Soul."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	Die Hard (1988)	"For an evening of edge-of-your-seat entertainment, you’d be hard pressed to do much better."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B	Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)	"Wisely, Live Free doesn't try to replicate the paranoia or intimidation of the first film… This time, it's his unflappable calm that intimidates his brash young opponent, not the other way around."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B+	The Dish (2001)	"In 1969, when the world watched as man went the moon, America needed help from Australia to see it. Today, the Aussies are coming to our aid again."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B	Disney's A Christmas Carol (2009)	"The story is robust enough to survive the theme-park treatment, and for the most part it's a very good ride, with a welcome note of actual Christmas caroling spirit."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	District 9 (2009)	"[The "popcorn" egg-burning scene] in a way represents the whole film: There's popcorn appeal for casual viewers, but something more vital and desperate at stake underneath."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato B-	Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (2002)	"Juicy performances from the formidable cast and perennial themes of mother-daughter conflict and forgiveness will endear it to its target audience."	Steven D. Greydanus
-	Dogma (1999)	"The Decent Films Guide is pleased to offer the following theologically correct guide to the serious, the silly, and the sloppy in Kevin Smith’s Dogma."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat F	Dogma (1999)	"Smith isn’t content merely to promote his own generic “faith”; he has to tell us, again and again, what’s wrong with orthodox Catholic belief."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A	Don Q, Son of Zorro (1925)	"Named one of the year�s ten best films by The New York Times… actually outdoes its predecessor, with a stronger and more sophisticated plot, better pacing, more interesting and complex characterizations, grander production values and set design"	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A-	Dr. Seuss' Horton Hears a Who! (2008)	"One book can't contain Horton's dogged heroics! His stoical pluck shows up all other stoics! And it gets even better! I'm pleased to relate That Horton's the very best Blue Sky to date."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat D	Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003)	"What's next? Will the Sneetches get wild and crazy? / Will the Lorax get jiggy with Daisy-Head Mayzie?"	Steven D. Greydanus
-	Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003)	"Click to view essay"	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat C-	Dragonfly (2002)	"Thinks it is being boldly counter-cultural… when in fact its vague spirituality is the very picture of today's credulous do-it-yourself religiosity."	Steven D. Greydanus
Tomato A+	Duck Soup (1933)	"As absurdly nonsensical as comedy can be and still be about something."	Steven D. Greydanus
Splat C+	Dumbo (1941)	"Viewed in isolation, Dumbo feels like a practice feature film from animators whose only previous experience was short subjects."	Steven D. Greydanus
