THE
DA VINCI CODE
 
Release: May 06 - Review: 6 Jun 06
The Gospel According
To Fluke.
THE DA VINCI CODE - for all its touting of "shaking the foundations of
Christianity"- is just not all that compelling.

DAN IN REAL LIFE
Release: Oct 07 - Review: 2 Jan 09
Dan in Reel Life.
We know the movie's premise going in, so it's a waiting game for the Meet Cute. When it happens, men will run outside and vomit. It's that egregious.

DANCER IN THE DARK
Release: Oct 00 - Review: 21 Apr 09
A Director Dancing With Himself...
Lars von Trier's
DANCER IN THE DARK has so much to offer as a drama – and keeps putting its foot in the puddle of Dumb Musical.

DANTE'S PEAK
Release: Feb 97 - Review: 12 Aug 10
Goldeneye meets Thunderball.
If VOLCANO was the fun fun fun volcano movie of 1997, DANTE'S PEAK was its serious big brother. That doesn't stop it being unintentionally funny.

Do not go gentle into that good knight...

DAVE
Release: May 1993 - Review: 18 Feb
06
Electile Dysfunction.
In not promoting partisanship, the movie tries to illustrate what
any politician can do if he were to unselfishly actually serve his country instead
of himself. Refrain: "We Can Dream, Can't We?"

DAWN OF THE DEAD
Release:
May 79 - Review: 8 Nov 09
Die! And don't come back!
...there is no excuse for DAWN OF THE DEAD to exist. Like its subject matter, it is a stinking corpse - yet it still walks.

DAY AND NIGHT
 
Release: Jun 10 - Review: 11 Jun 11
The Message Within.
...classic, old-school cartooning at its best; not just the expressive, hilarious drawings, but the ideas behind them - and within them!

THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL
Release: Sep 51 - Review: 14 Dec 08

DEATH OF A GHOST HUNTER
Release: Oct 07 - Review: 25 Nov 08
So bad it's scary.
Writer-director-DP-editor, Sean Tretta, tries sincerely to make a scary movie, with ominous music, morbid concepts, old-fashioned scares (rather than CGI) - but mainly by keeping all the lights off.

DEATH SENTENCE
Release: Sep 07 - Review: 29 Dec 07
Sizzling Bacon.
...delivers a thematic punch often subsumed by this politically-gutless American society. By that I mean, in 2007 no one is willing to say out loud that revenge is sweet.

Bronson's HARRY.
My one question to the muggers of New York City: Why would you pick on someone who looks like Charles Bronson?!

THE DEATHS OF IAN STONE
Release: Nov 07 - Review: 4 Feb 09

Ferris Bueller's Slay Off.

DEFIANCE
Release: Jan 09 - Review: 25 Aug 09
In defiance of stereotypes.
...the image of the war Jew has been Auschwitz victims, sunken faces, long woolen overcoats, crumpled hats, queuing for gas chambers. DEFIANCE gives us sexyboys with machine guns, muscles and mojo.

THE
DEPARTED
Release: Oct 06 - Review: 5 Nov 06
Martin Scorcese's
Badfellas.
Ferociously funny, doggedly compelling, a tour de force of gritty production, tightly-wound storyline, sneeringly
salty language and flame-throwing acting chops.

DERAILED
Release: Nov 05 - Review: 18 Dec 05
Hitchcock Lite

... a product of its times and is rife with "twists", though is woven artfully
enough so that even if you see the groaners coming, they hit note-perfect anyway...

DEVIL
Release: Sep 10 - Review: 9 Jan 11
Fun as sharp as pointy horns.
M. Night Shyamalan writes the story behind DEVIL, a well-directed, elegantly-screenplayed thriller, about five people trapped in a skyscraper elevator.
One of them is the devil. [Bwohaha ha ha haaaaa!]
