Sort by RATING      Sort by TITLE/YEAR      Sort by QUOTE      Sort by SOURCE       0.5/4      D.A.R.Y.L. (1985)      "The main problem with this thing (besides the direction and the writing and, oh what the heck, the special effects, the acting, and the score). . ." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Da Vinci Code (2006)      "The greatest threat that Dan Brown's novel, and now Ron Howard's film of the same, poses to spirituality is the same threat that any bad art presents the human soul." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Daddy Day Care (2003)      "An anemic, flaccid little curiosity with nary a hint of life." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Dahmer (2002)      "In Dahmer's pillow game the atrocity is all about existential tragedy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Dallas 362 (2005)      "startling and elucidative" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Dan in Real Life (2007)      "A creature made of gingerbread and hugs." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)      "Meant to reduce Blake's philosophy into a tragic coming-of-age saga punctuated by bursts of animator Todd McFarlane's superhero dystopia." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Daredevil (2003)      "Earns points for recognizing Miller's contribution to the maturing of the comic medium in the early '80s, but washes out in the end as another "serious" comic-book flick (Road to Perdition, From Hell) that's fitfully interesting but ultimately empty." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Darjeeling Limited (2007)      "If you hear the music, you'll recognize that beneath Anderson's hipster veneer is the low keen of loss and wounds that never close." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Dark Angel - Season 1 (2000)      "Having a tough Latina heroine for a weekly adventure show is revolutionary, maybe--having her be a bimbo whore is reprehensible." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Dark Blue (2003)      "There's not so much separation after all from this kind of testosterone-fuelled **** opera and the typical Sandra Bullock romantic comedy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Dark Blue World (2001)      "It hopes that its mundane structure is enough to keep up with its soaring aspirations. Like its lovesick protagonists, it hopes in vain." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Dark Knight (2008)      "Whatever the causes, the effects of The Dark Knight are subtle and powerful. It's rejuvenating, it renews the faith." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Dark Victory (1939)      "It's horribly dated, playing today like some weird, contrived burlesque of common sense." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Dark Water (2005)      "A mature film about the courage it takes to survive in a mortal world that's dependent on temporary relationships." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Dark Water (2002)      "The picture is melancholy remembrance and its sources of fear are intimate and brilliant." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Darkness Falls (2003)      "There's only so much sustainable interest things jumping randomly out of dark corners can hold for most sentient beings." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Darkwolf (2002)      "Decent masturbation material coupled with some cathartic gunplay to soothe the inevitable siren's call of self-loathing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Das Boot - The Director's Cut (1982)      "Finds itself current again as a metaphor for a great industrial country led blindly into a prolonged war to no good, understandable end but for the dealing of death in an alien place." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Dawn of the Dead (1978)      "For my money, John Carpenter's Halloween, released the same year, is smarter, sharper, and more influential." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Dawn of the Dead (2004)      "Heretical to even suggest it, Zack Snyder's remake of George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead surpasses the original in any number of ways." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Day After Tomorrow (2004)      "The only fantasy element that stretches the bounds of credulity when née-Cheney takes responsibility for his bad decisions and apologizes to the nation." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      A Day at the Races (1937)      "Groucho's power is his smoothness with language, his Kryptonite Chico's elaborate doublespeak." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Day of the Dead (1985)      "Far from the weak sister that critics and fanboys have branded it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Day of the Dead - The Need to Feed (2006)      "The only possible response to the benighted thing is pity." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      De La Calle (2003)      "The height of unblinking realism punctuated here and again by a marvellous symbolic intelligence and marked by extraordinary performances." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      De-Lovely (2004)      "The tears start leaking--for all the wrong reasons, of course. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Dead And Breakfast (2004)      "A parsing of better splatter flicks; like a Cliff's Note, it's good for cheating but bad for a screenplay." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Dead Ringers (1988)      "Cronenberg, with Dead Ringers, becomes the director that Roman Polanski could have been." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Dead Simple (2001)      "plays like an affable community theatre production produced with whimsy and a black humour" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Dead Zone (1983)      "Isn't about anything really save the crushing disappointment of ambition and the unbearable lightness of being." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Death Race (2008)      "Paul W.S. Anderson makes one kind of movie: the shitty kind." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Death to Smoochy (2002)      "The sinister inspiration that fuelled DeVito's early work is confused in Death to Smoochy into something both ugly and mindless." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            The Deep End (2001)      "Not to say that The Deep End is a bad film, exactly, rather it's a forgettable one that is remarkable only for its almost complete lack of distinction." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Deep Impact (1998)      "Malignant and insensate, it's already too far gone for treatment. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Deep in the Woods (2000)      "A great-looking film that honours its forebears while providing the catalyst for a re-examination of "Little Red Riding Hood" from an essential psychosexual standpoint." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Deep Water (2000)      "A Rubik's Cube where every square is a different colour." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Defiance (2008)      "It's finally happened: Red Dawn with Russian Jews. You could go your whole life without conjuring something so perverse." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Deja Vu (2006)      "Who woulda thunk that crap-meister Tony Scott could be so in tune with the spirit of the times?" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Deliverance (1972)      "As coffin nails for the sixties go, this negation of all ideological idealism is a pretty final one." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Derailed (2005)      "Dozens of inept thrillers are churned out every year, only a few are ever this simpering." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Descent (2006)      "Often-terrifying, often-brilliant." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Desert Saints (2002)      "Closer to Flashback than to Freeway, the Kiefer Sutherland vehicle Desert Saints is actually closer to Montana than either." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Desperate Housewives - The Complete First Season (2004)      "The tabloid has overtaken the snark, with intelligence and purpose quick to follow." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005)      "The usual barrage of cruelty, gross-outs, homophobia, and easy racism." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Deuces Wild (2002)      "A Sha-Na-Na sketch punctuated with graphic violence." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006)      "It's little more than a decently-compiled, fan-inspired research project as opposed to something organically resonant or artful." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Devil Wears Prada (2006)      ""Sex and the City" fashion porn married to The Princess Diaries 'tween ugly-duckling uplift." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Devil's Backbone (2001)      "the gorgeous Tennysonian aecidia of the film is such as to explain if not entirely forgive its occasional failures of immediacy" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Devil's Rejects (2005)      "Casts light on what it is about the way we are that make wickedness so damnably attractive." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
