[dvd review]      MSN.com       C+      Dan in Real Life (2007)      "The cozy, lived-in atmosphere created by the ensemble and the unlikely chemistry of Carell and Binoche are so genuine that you wish the rest of the film was just as effortless and authentic." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Danger: Diabolik (1968)      "... a surreal mix of spy movie, heist thriller, and anti-establishment satire, all with delirious style and tongue firmly in cheek." [movie review]      St@tic Multimedia       B      Danny Deckchair (2004)      "It's pure romantic fantasy, almost too cute and naively innocent for its own good." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Dans Paris (2007)      "... a tribute to the freewheeling energy and youth of the French New Wave." [dvd review]      MSN.com            Dante 01 (2008)      "Dante 01 isn't science fiction, it's just allegory with technology. The symbols are all on the surface..." [movie review]      Seanax.com            The Darjeeling Limited (2007)      "... a nice sense of fraternal affection under the frustration, playful details in the margins, a bouncy energy, and Anderson's idiosyncratic tastes in fashion and music." [movie review]      MSN.com            The Dark Knight (2008)      "A pulp epic with mythic overtones for the darkest of comic book heroes." [movie review]      Seanax.com       A      The Dark Knight (2008)      "It's the new gold standard for superhero noir." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            The Dark Past (1949)      "... a minor noir notable largely for Holden's uncharacteristically feral performance..." [movie review]      Turner Classic Movies Online       B      Dark Water (2005)      "Salles tends to explain rather than suggest, but he connects with the anguish and abandonment to give this ghost story an emotionally haunting core." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            David and Lisa (1962)      "... strong performances and sensitive direction create a moving drama..." [movie review]      MSN.com            David Harding, Counterspy (1950)      "Apart from the shadowy climax, it's not really a noir and lacks personality, but it's a brisk enough crime drama." [dvd review]      MSN.com       B      Dawn of the Dead (2004)      "Romero's satire is largely replaced by a sardonic gallows humor... but otherwise it's a bloody entertaining zombie apocalypse." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      A Day at the Beach (1970)      "What could be one of [Roman] Polanski's trademark alienated creatures comes off as little more than a pathetic, self-pitying jerk under Simon Hesera's direction." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       A      The Day I Became A Woman (2001)      "Achieves its social commentary through passion and poetry." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      Days and Clouds (2008)      "... or all the emotional integrity and observational exactness, it's more social study than character drama." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      Days of Being Wild (1990)      "The languorous atmosphere of longing, disconnection and emotional isolation is hypnotic." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Days of Glory (2006)      "Rachid Bouchareb's affecting and observant platoon drama may be a small step toward recognizing the sacrifice [of Algerian soldiers in World War II]..." [dvd review]      MSN.com            The Dead Girl (2006)      "A little hope peeks out from the clouds, but it's a bleak outlook." [dvd review]      MSN.com            Deadgirl (2008)      "... more pose than convincing psychological portrait, leaving little more than a well executed horror film with a very different kind of sexual danger." [movie review]      Seanax.com            Deadly Sweet (1967)      "... a film of marvelous energy and delirious imagery." [movie review]      Parallax View            The Deal (2003)      "... the story is ultimately about friendship, ambition and betrayal in the compromising business of politics." [dvd review]      MSN.com            Death at a Funeral (2007)      "[Frank] Oz hits a couple of great gags, but most of it feels tired and overworked..." [dvd review]      MSN.com            Death of a Cyclist (1955)      "Imagine a Michelangelo Antonio drama of upper class disaffection by way of a film noir..." [movie review]      Turner Classic Movies Online       B      Death of a President (2006)      "(Director Gabriel) Range is a great mimic of media reportage, but he's not above nudging the audience to note what he's not talking about." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       A      The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006)      "Cristi Puiu doesn't pull his punches in his barbed black comedy on the state of socialized medicine in Hungary." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Death Proof (2007)      "True to form, Tarantino turns it into the oddest genre piece to never play a drive-in..." [dvd review]      MSN.com       B-      The Debut (2000)      "For all its familiarity, The Debut (an unfortunately bland and vague title) is a film from the heart..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Deep End (1971)      "Jerzy Skolimowski's darkly satirical psychological drama of young lust, sexual callousness, obsession, and fantasy is a different kind of coming of age film." [movie review]      Seanax.com       C+      Definitely, Maybe (2008)      "It feels overworked at times, a gimmick saved largely by chemistry. But it's also sweet and sour in the best ways..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Delirious (2007)      "DiCillo is ultimately grounded in the eccentric, awkward relationship" [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Deliver Us From Eva (2003)      "... what looks like just another contrived sex comedy becomes, surprisingly, an insightful and sensitive look at knots that family ties create in adult romance." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Deliverance (1972)      "John Boorman's harrowing adaptation of James Dickey's novel is as bracing and haunting now as it was when it first shook up audiences 35 years ago." [dvd review]      MSN.com       A      Demonlover (2003)      "... a brilliant, stunning piece of work, perhaps not Assayas' best, but certainly his most fearless and impassioned." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       A      The Descent (2006)      "It's a film stripped to bloody basics, a ferocious and taut exercise in action horror that recalls early James Cameron, with more gore and less sentimentality." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Destiny (1997)      "... a rollicking intellectual adventure with the emotional tenor of a melodrama." [movie review]      Seattle Weekly            Detective Bureau 2-3: Go to Hell Bastards! (1963)      "[Seijun] Suzuki directs it all with tongue-in-cheek attitude, not so much making fun of it as making it fun..." [movie review]      Parallax View       6/10      Deterrence (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       F      Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)      "... a non-stop barrage of crude dialogue and vulgar sight gags that passes as humor among adolescent boys." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Le Deuxieme Souffle (1966)      "Le Deuxieme Souffle is at heart a romantic fantasy of underworld loyalty and lives of calculated risk and violence anchored by brilliantly staged and shot set pieces..." [movie review]      Turner Classic Movies Online            Devil Dogs of the Air (1935)      "It's really a showcase for Cagney's cocky charm and smart-aleck attitude..." [movie review]      Turner Classic Movies Online       A-      The Devil's Backbone (2001)      "What gives the story resonance is the tenderness and sacrifice and even innocence del Toro reveals amid the savagery." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      The Devil's Miner (2006)      "It's a simple film with a direct message, but the glimpses of the surrounding social culture that has adapted to the horrors give (it) its identity." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      The Devil's Rejects (2005)      "It's the framework of an exploitation tribute Tarantino could love ... with a little polishing and a lot more backbone." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007)      "... there's still something cinematically satisfying in seeing the veteran street cop McClane plugging along like a dogged boxer against a younger and stronger opponent..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      Die Mommie Die! (2003)      "A one-note farce that struggles just to remain on key." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      Dinner Rush (2001)      "You can almost smell the garlic and feel the heat of the range." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Dirty Harry (1971)      "... as Inspector Harry Callahan, known to the squad as Dirty Harry, Eastwood turned his frontier persona into an urban cowboy on the mean streets of our urban world." [movie review]      Seanax.com            Dirty Harry (1971)      "[Don] Siegel is lean, terse director who is happy leave "Dirty" Harry the vivid kind of moral conundrum that makes movies interesting..."
