Dungeons & Dragons

• 2000
• Action
• Adventure
• Fantasy

Pure torture.

Dune

• 1984
• Action
• Adventure
• Sci-fi

Lynch does not go all-out crazy on this one but you will still see and feel his style in it. Lots of gross make-up and bizarre directing but a hardcore Sci-fi, nonetheless.

Dumbo

• 1941
• Animation
• Family
• Music

This one has a special place with me because of the ride at Disneyland. The Dumbo ride is my 5-year old sister's favorite ride; as it was mine when I was her age.

Movie-wise, how amazing is the drunk scene in this. I'm not pimping it because of booze, that trippy scene blew my mind as a kid.

Dumb & Dumber

• 1994
• Adventure
• Comedy

There are people who hate this movie and there are others who worship it. I am one of those that worship it.

Due Date

• 2010
• Comedy
• Drama

I expected a lot more laughs out of Downey, which I didn't get but Zach is his good ol' creepy self so that's a plus. Don't spend any more than a $1 to rent this.

DuckTales: The Movie - Treasure of the Lost Lamp

• 1990
• Animation
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Family
• Fantasy

I loved Ducktales when I was a kid and this movie was awesome.

Drunken Master

• 1978
• Comedy
• Action

Some of the very best martial arts choreography I have seen for its time. This movie put Jackie Chan into the big times.

Drop Dead Fred

• 1991
• Comedy
• Drama
• Fantasy

Phoebe Cates has an imaginary friend that almost ruins her life, or she's just bipolar.

Drive Angry

• 2011
• Action
• Fantasy
• Thriller

Watch angry; that's what you'll be doing with this film. It's not even brainless fun, it just sucks. This is sure to be one of the worst movies of 2011.

Drive

• 2011
• Action
• Crime
• Drama

If you're expecting an action movie with car chases and random explosions, you won't get that here but you'll get something much better – substance. You'll get brooding intensity and raw, toe-to-toe confrontations with some great actors. Nicolas Winding Refn takes a very thin plot and turns it into an anti-cliché, arthouse action film.

Dredd 3D

• 2012
• Action
• Crime
• Sci-fi

A very stylish and wildly violent, action film. The graphics in slo-mo are terrifying, yet beautiful. This merciless shoot-em-up is nothing like the original and delivers on all your expectations to kick ass.

Dreams

• 1990
• Drama
• Fantasy

An original and unique movie from the great Akira Kurosawa. It's hard for me to explain what it is and in all honesty, I would rather not. Think of it like a hand-painted movie with jaw-dropping scenes.

Dream House

• 2011
• Drama
• Mystery
• Thriller

The concept in the beginning is pretty cool but things start falling apart after the first half. This lacked genuine scares and the ending did not fit with the story. It tricks you into thinking it's a horror so I don't recommend this.

Dragonheart

• 1996
• Action
• Adventure
• Drama
• Fantasy

Sean Connery is a talking dragon!

Dragonball Evolution

• 2009
• Action
• Adventure
• Fantasy
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Next to D-War, this is a great contender to be the worst movie of its decade.

Dragon: The Bruce Lee Story

• 1993
• Action
• Biography
• Drama

I wish he was alive today.

Drag Me to Hell

• 2009
• Horror
• Thriller

Is it bad that I was laughing a lot throughout this movie? No, because that's what Sam Raimi is known for and he succeeded here. Now, I understand why this got such a good rating. Drag Me to Hell is a breath of fresh, hellish air, that's highly entertaining.

Dracula

• 1992
• Horror
• Romance

It wasn't until years after 1992 that I finally got a chance to watch this movie and I really, really liked it. Eerie, atmospheric, beautiful costumes, and a great cast (minus Keanu). One of the best Dracula movies, ever.

Dr. T and the Women

• 2000
• Comedy
• Romance
• Drama

I probably watched this because of all the big name, females in it. However, I lost all infatuation when they filmed a live birth at the end. Hey, I know it's a beautiful thing...but not when it's someone else and especially not when it came out of nowhere!

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

• 1964
• Comedy
• War

Kubrik's classic comedy about an insane general that is on the brink of starting a nuclear holocaust.

Downfall

• 2004
• Biography
• Drama
• History

This movie scores high reviews but not here. In terms of film making, it is good. Here's where I start to get uneasy. This is about the final days of Hitler, his inner circle, his Nazis, and it crosses the line of trying to create sympathy for them as the end closes in. I know this movie isn't a pro-Nazi, but how in the hell can I ever feel any sympathy for them, like the film was asking for. This made me uncomfortable.

You never see Hitler's corpse but you do see gore on other, lower-ranked soldiers. This tells me that they're trying to keep his character sacred by not defacing him. Fuck that, deface Hitler! Might I add, I had to deal with all this for 2:30 hours. In conclusion, the film is done well but the presentation is questionable.

Doubt

• 2008
• Drama
• Mystery

Meryl Streep, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams (whom I am really starting to like) star in this film about a stale nun who confronts a priest that is suspected of abusing a student. These names are obviously champions in the ring of acting and that's what it's all about – stellar acting!

Double Impact

• 1991
• Action

Gay porn.

Double Dragon

• 1994
• Action
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Sci-fi

"It's Not Just a Game Anymore"

These video game movies always need to assure us that it is, in fact, not a video game. You don't know how bad all the kids wished this stayed as a video game.

Doomsday

• 2008
• Action
• Horror
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

This is like the modern version of Mad Max, minus all the good stuff. I did, however, have a lot of fun with this movie's over-stylish costumes and crazy violence.

The Doom Generation

• 1995
• Action
• Comedy
• Crime

This shitty shock movie is filled with sadistic violence, vulgarity, pointless gore, stupid dialogue, and Nazis thrown in there for good measure. Avoid this at all costs.

Doom

• 2005
• Action
• Adventure
• Horror
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

Another awful movie based off of a video game.

Donnie Darko

• 2001
• Drama
• Mystery
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

One of the greatest cult classics of the 2000's. This movie had a crazy storyline, very eerie scenes, memorable characters, and a great soundtrack. If you never got on the Donnie Darko wagon, then you need to.

Donnie Brasco

• 1997
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

This is based on a true story and the true story itself is mind-blowing. As for the movie, Depp and Pacino on the same screen doing mobster stuff is awesome.

Dolores Claiborne

• 1995
• Drama
• Mystery
• Thriller

This is a great movie! The relationship between the mom and distant daughter is done very well; I highly recommend this.

Dogtown and Z-Boys

• 2001
• Documentary
• Sport

A really good documentary about the beginnings of skateboarding and the raggedy kids that started it.

Dogtooth

• 2009
• Drama

The characters in this movie act more alien than any Sci-fi film that I have seen. It's like the director said, "Get weird...and action!" before every scene. It's the weirdest movie I have seen to date. And you can't have weird without a lot of bizarre sex and incest. This movie is fucking weird. Too weird. Godamn, it's weird.

Dogma

• 1999
• Adventure
• Comedy
• Fantasy
• Mystery

One of the best religious satire films ever made. There's also a demon made of poop.

Doghouse

• 2009
• Comedy
• Horror

Although this film defies a lot of zombie logic, I enjoyed it more. That's right..."zombie logic."

Dog Soldiers

• 2002
• Action
• Horror

Of course it's retarded, it's called Dog Soldiers. It's a fun flick if you're a slasher film fan.

Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

• 2004
• Comedy
• Sport

Funny movie for those nights with nothing to watch and you don't feel like thinking.

Doctor Dolittle

• 1998
• Comedy
• Family

In reference to Eddie Murphy, David Spade said on SNL once, "Make a wish kids, it's a falling star."

DMT: The Spirit Molecule

• 2010
• Documentary

A colorful and mind-bending trip through boredom. One after the other, different people talk about similar experiences they get from taking this drug. I get it, it's like acid on steroids.

Django Unchained

• 2012
• Action
• Drama
• Western

A bloody and fun ride but am I alone in thinking that there seemed to be too much unnecessary dialogue towards the end? I love this movie but I couldn’t help compare it to Inglourious Basterds. The escalation of that movie consistently went up but this one leveled out for a long time. No matter, it’s still crazy-good!

PS: Christoph Waltz always talks like he’s about to show you a magic trick.

The Diving Bell and The Butterfly

• 2007
• Biography
• Drama

If I was completely paralyzed except for my one left eye, all I would do is cry out of that eye. All day.

Disturbia

• 2007
• Crime
• Mystery
• Romance
• Thriller

You know it's not going to be awesome when you involve teenagers into a murder movie. This was actually not that bad. Disturbia takes after Alfred Hitchcock's classic and very suspenseful film, Rear Window, minus all the good stuff I just mentioned.

District 9

• 2009
• Action
• Drama
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

The best things that I've heard about this movie are from people who aren't into Sci-fi and they still like this movie. The story was very well-written, the visuals were rad, and the action was off-the-wall, which I didn't expect.

They are really leaving this open for another sequel, which I don't agree with in many movies but I got a strong feeling part-two is going to be just as amazing, if not better. There's a lot of back story that people want to know and I feel that the real plot is just beginning to unravel so we'll wait and see what happens.

District 13

• 2004
• Action
• Crime
• Thriller

This takes place in the ghetto of Paris in 2010. You know those crazy dudes that climb and jump all over city obstacles? There's a lot of that in this movie. Also, the lead female actress is a hardcore, French porn star. Only in France, I guess.

Dirty Pictures

• 2010
• Biography
• Documentary

An old guy discovers Ecstasy and introduces it to the world. Of course, it becomes illegal because stupid kids abuse it. Old guy gets upset but ultimately hangs out with stupid kids. Then this stupid girl ruins Alex Grey's painting. Everyone is looney!

The Dinner Game

• 1998
• Comedy

Hilarious French flick about an important dinner going haywire.

Dinner for Schmucks

• 2010
• Comedy

If you love high-octane dorks then you'll love this, but if you have a short fuse for them (like my friend) then you might get irritated. The script is not the greatest but you'll be guaranteed some laughs.

This is also based off of a popular French comedy entitled The Dinner Game, which is also hilarious.

The Dilemma

• 2011
• Comedy
• Drama

There is so much dead weight here. As for the laughs, I think I might have chuckled once. Actually, that was just a burp.

Die Hard: With a Vengeance

• 1995
• Action
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

Another badass sequel to the Die Hard franchise. Bad ass explosions with bad ass action. Ba-ba-ba-badass!

Die Hard 2

• 1990
• Action
• Adventure
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

John McClane at it again, this time stopping terrorists who have taken over an airport.

Die Hard

• 1988
• Action
• Crime
• Drama
• Thriller

One of the most badass, action flicks of the 80's. I take that back. The most badass action flick of the 80's.

The Dictator

• 2012
• Comedy

This movie is Aladeen and I Aladeen'd it.

Dick Tracy

• 1990
• Action
• Crime
• Drama
• Family
• Thriller

As a child, I was always obsessed with the Roaring 20's so when this movie came out, I went nuts. It had all of those things that I loved and it presented itself in a colorful and fantastical setting, which was the equivalent of an infant (me) looking at shiny objects. But bottom line, the movie is quite bad.

The Diary of Anne Frank

• 1959
• Biography
• Drama
• History
• Thriller
• War

I'm not going to put any description here because if you don't know about this story then you need to open up a history book. Or just rent this.

Diamonds Are Forever

• 1971
• Action
• Adventure
• Sci-fi
• Thriller

And so is the 007 franchise with this movie.

Diabolique

• 1996
• Drama
• Horror
• Thriller
• Mystery

Two hot women are involved in a story-bending plot to murder a cruel school master. It was decent, minus the ending.

The Devil's Rejects

• 2005
• Crime
• Horror
• Thriller

Oh Mr. Zombie, you're such a twisted man. Not for the average movie-goer, you gotta be a die hard horror fan to enjoy this one. Think of it as Natural Born Killers, plus Charles Manson.

Devil's Playground

• 2002
• Documentary

Really interesting documentary about Amish kids that get to experience the modern world and decide which life they will choose.

The Devil's Double

• 2011
• Biography
• Drama

Not easy viewing for everyone as the subject matter is harsh. I have a new-found respect for Dominic Cooper who plays dual roles that are polar opposites from each other. I'm not sure if this is accurately based on a true story when I was looking stuff up online but regardless, as a stand-alone movie, it has my recommendation.

The Devil Wears Prada

• 2006
• Comedy
• Drama
• Romance

Not too bad for a romcom, there's more head-butting between Hathaway and Streep than cheesy romantic lines, which is a good thing.

Devil

• 2010
• Horror
• Mystery
• Thriller

On a good note, M. Night Shyamalan won't piss you off with a pointless twist. But that doesn't make it a great film either. The acting sucks but otherwise, it's mildly enjoyable.
