" [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Da Vinci Code (2006)      "Another distasteful Ron Howard production impeccably preserved on DVD." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      Daddy Day Camp (2007)      "The minstrelsy of Gooding Jr.'s performance is abhorrent but no more offensive than the showboating that won him the Oscar." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Daddy Day Care (2003)      "Seems to exist solely to sedate a theater-going public’s offspring. Don’t expect The Witches." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Dance Flick (2009)      "Aside from a half dozen salient bits that call bull**** on the white-black symbiosis portrayed in films such as Step Up, more times than not Dance Flick falls flatter than Eddie Murphy's butt in Norbit." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Dance Party USA (2006)      "A film of easy set ups and resolutions, Dance Party, USA is best when observing how crisis is metabolized." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Dancer Upstairs (2003)      "The problem with many commentary tracks is that most are in direct conflict with whatever other supplemental materials have been packed into their respective discs." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Dandelion (2005)      "Jodie Foster's Nell might describe Dandelion's characters as tays een da ween." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)      "Nuns are nowhere near as mean as Jodie Foster's one-legged Assumpta but what fun are they if they did have two legs and didn't ride around on motor scooters?" [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Danny Deckchair (2004)      "Unevenly pitched somewhere between a straight-faced Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and a magical realist Big Fish." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Daredevil (2003)      "As he runs toward the tank of hazardous waste that will eventually splatter all over his face, his report card falls to the floor: straight A’s (don’t that beat all?!)." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       4/4      Dario Argento's Tenebre (1982)      "Tenebre is a brilliant piece of self-reflexive cinema." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      Dark Blue World (2001)      "You might remember the film's plot and character archetypes from Pearl Harbor, although Michael Bay's war turkey, in retrospect, lends itself to camp revisionism." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Dark Water (2005)      "A so-so J-Horror remake with an excellent performance by Jennifer Connelly." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      DarkBlueAlmostBlack (2007)      "It's a well-acted soap with one too many plot lines, tied together by genteel audio-visual sutures and supported by the brittle metaphor of its title." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Darkness (2003)      "Should whet the whistle of any J-horror fan waiting for 2005's The Amityville Horror to reach DVD. Sigh." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Darkness (2003)      "One can only imagine how much scarier some of Balagueró’s images would be without the abrasive soundtrack." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Darkness Falls (2003)      "I could probably make a better film in a coma but I still don’t hear Revolution Studios knocking on my door." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       .5/4      Darkness Falls (2003)      "Its unbearably loud and witless disposition conjures images of studio heads wanting to numb young test audiences into submission." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Darshan - the Embrace (2006)      "Jan Kounen's Darshan- The Embrace extols the healing power of touch, revealing, cinematically and without condescension, the appeal of Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Darwin's Nightmare (2006)      "A horrifying vision of globalization gone terribly amuck." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Dawn of the Dead (2004)      "There aren’t a lot of extras on this Unrated Director’s Cut DVD but there isn’t a single boring moment here." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            The Day After Tomorrow (2004)      "“What a ride!” says Joel Siegal. “Totally Cool” responds Gene Shalit. It makes me want to throw up to say that they’re kind of right." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Day Night Day Night (2007)      "Like United 93, Day Night Day Night exploits our post-9/11 anxieties." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Day Zero (2008)      "Sabotaged by trite political dissertation and the presumption of novelty, the story forces Klein to shoulder much of the film's white-male-hetero paranoia." [movie review]      Village Voice       1.5/4      The Dead Girl (2006)      "Karen Moncrieff's melodrama is less noxious than Paul Haggis's race fantasy by virtue of having nothing to say about anything that will be of any importance to anyone." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Dead Man's Shoes (2006)      "Considine hawks a striking cipher, an avenging angel whose metaphysical communion with otherworldly energies is echoed in the film's unhinged, stewy surface." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Dead Silence (2007)      "One whopping minute longer than the theatrical version hardly anyone saw, Dead Silence is still one of the worst horror films ever made." [dvd review]      Los Angeles Times       1/5      Dead Silence (2007)      "The movies have always asked us to suspend our disbelief, but Dead Silence demands our ignorance of its own derivations. A conflation of the horror genre's laziest tropes, plot angles and shorthands." [movie review]      Los Angeles Times       1.5/4      The Deal (2005)      "Intrigue comes in the form of Skinemax lovemaking, bad Russian accents, and the lamest car chase in the history of cinema." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Dear Wendy (2005)      "An audacious exploration of guns and violence inside Vinterberg and Von Trier's heads. " [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Death Defying Acts (2008)      "A cheap inventory of old-hat period romping that downplays Houdini's contempt for psychics while saddling him with corny mommy issues." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Death in the Garden (1956)      "A minor Buñuel work, Death in the Garden is mostly notable for capturing Simone Signoret in color for the first time and at her most impatient as an actress." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      Death in the Garden (1956)      "Signoret's frenzy becomes her character's, enervating an otherwise humdrum melodrama." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006)      "The Death of Mr. Lazarescu comes on like a force of nature; radiating a startling intensity, it demands to be reckoned with." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006)      "To suffer the allegorical death of Mr. Lazarescu is to grapple with the social injustices built into so many of our world's healthcare systems." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Death to Smoochy (2002)      "Much like Robin Williams, Death to Smoochy has already reached its expiration date." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Death to Smoochy (2002)      "Both flatulent and sporadically funny, DeVito's Death to Smoochy will feel right at home next to those Barney DVDs. Parents are encouraged to scare toddlers to death by mixing their respective DVD cases." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      Decasia: The State of Decay (2002)      "Bill Morrison's Decasia is uncompromising, difficult and unbearably beautiful." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      The Decay of Fiction (2006)      "The film's superimpositions, movie-dialogue samples, and audio-visual burps collectively suggest an acid trip." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      The Decomposition of the Soul (2007)      "The first essential documentary of the new year." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Dedication (2007)      "Another example of David Lynch's groovy surrealist vernacular flying over the head of one of his actors." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Deep Blue (2005)      "Mother Nature reveals herself not so much as an entity that needs to be preserved but an action director much fiercer than Michael Bay." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Deep Blue (2005)      "Linda Lovelace has nothing on the little camera that travels down into the deepest areas of the film's oceans." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Deep Breath (2001)      "The idle David relishes his freedom though he is wholly unaware of the moral responsibility expected of him." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      The Deep End (2001)      "The Deep End may be preposterous but it's an engagingly moody experience nonetheless." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       90/100      Deep Red: The Hatchet Murders (1975)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Apollo Guide       90/100      Deep Red: The Hatchet Murders (1975)      "1975's Deep Red is Dario Argento's first full-fledged masterpiece." [movie review]      Apollo Guide       4/4      Deep Red: The Hatchet Murders (1975)      "1975's Deep Red is Dario Argento's first full-fledged masterpiece." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Defiance (2008)      "A well-meaning dud, the film's only defiance is testing its audience's patience." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine
