W. (2008) |
"Josh Brolin (No Country for Old Men) gives a brilliant performance as George W. Bush, who was so far over his head that one almost felt sorry for him at times." |
Emily S. Mendel |
Splat |
W. (2008) |
"Since we're dealing with Oliver Stone, a point worth making once is worth making a hundred times, in 100-point boldface type, until not even the dimmest bulb in the audience can possibly miss it." |

Waking Life (2001) |
"When it's over, we may not want to wake up." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Tomato |
Waking Ned Devine (1998) |
"It is the lack of pretense and Jones' light touch that allows this confection to float successfully." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat 5/10 |
Waking the Dead (2000) |
"A good story, undermined by its telling." |
Gary Mairs |
Tomato |
A Walk On the Moon (1998) |
"A warmhearted treat, full of small pleasures and nicely observed detail" |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Walk the Line (2005) |
"The film is visualized in such a straightforward manner that it feels as if it could have been made in 1950. There's not a moment of freshly imaginative or unconventional footage.

A Walk to Remember (2002) |
"The only surprises are how quickly and unoriginally the banalities mount." |

"Spectacle filmmaking of the highest order." |
Jesse Paddock |

The War Zone (1999) |

The Watcher (2000) |
"A conventional slasher movie that's larded its bloodletting with
pretension." |
Gary Mairs |
Tomato |
Watchmen (2009) |
" ... a total immersion experience." |
Les Wright |
Splat |
Watchmen (2009) |
"The approach is depressingly literal, and none of the scenes build on what has come before -- they're just meticulously reconstructed Scenes From Watchmen." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Tomato |
Water (2006) |
"'Water' glows from rich and natural lighting, warm and radiant colors, and powerful symbolic imagery." |
Les Wright |
Splat 3/10 |
The Way of the Gun (2000) |
"A threepenny opera of lurid plot turns, oceanic bloodletting, and
pseudo-existential dialogue." |
Tom Block |
Tomato |
Waydowntown (2002) |
"The observations of this social/economic/urban environment are canny and spiced with irony." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004) |
"Audiences may or may not feel that the insights skillfully shared justify this acutely claustrophobic microcosm of domestic misery." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
We Were Soldiers (2002) |
"Sledgehammer-simplistic... piling on the Technicolor carnage and employing just about every stock war film cliché imaginable." |
Bob Aulert |
Tomato |
Wedding Crashers (2005) |
"Wilson and Vaughn are generous comedians; they love more than anything injecting disarming affection into their comedy." |
Jesse Paddock |
Splat 5/10 |
The Wedding Planner (2001) |
"Very predictable and processed." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Tomato |
The Weight of Water (2002) |
"If the film fails to fulfill its own ambitious goals, it nonetheless sustains interest during the long build-up of expository material." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Wendy and Lucy (2008) |
"For all its arthouse starkness, it packs a wallop. Michelle Williams' performance is incandescent." |

Werckmeister Harmonies (2001) |

West Side Story (1961) |
"Profoundly affecting in the virtuosity of ensemble performance art." |
Les Wright |
Splat 3/10 |
What Lies Beneath (2000) |
"Zemeckis won a Best Director Oscar for Forrest Gump, but he hasn’t
bothered to form even one memorable sequence in What Lies Beneath. For
long stretches there’s simply nothing going on." |

Scott Von Doviak |
Tomato |
What Time Is It There? (2002) |
"Like other Tsai Ming-Liang films, What Time Is It There? is tonally odd, light in dialogue, unconventional in its photographic beauty, sporadically opaque in theme, and resolute in not achieving resolution." |
George Wu |
Splat |
Whatever Works (2009) |
"I am a huge Woody Allen fan, but I had a hard time with Whatever Works." |
Beverly Berning |
Tomato |
Whatever Works (2009) |
"Whatever Works is reminiscent of Allen's much-loved films about relationships in Manhattan in which comedy vies with angst, with a soupçon of Jewish humor." |
Emily S. Mendel |
Splat 4/10 |
Where the Money Is (2000) |
"Plodding, dull and endless at a short 89 minutes." |
Gary Mairs |
Tomato |
White Countess (2005) |
"Merchant and Ivory paint a large, brilliant, detailed canvas." |
Les Wright |
Tomato |
White Lightning (1973) |
"The quintessential "good ol' boy" picture." |

White Noise (2005) |
"The film’s strong premise makes it even more disappointing than similarly weak efforts in the horror genre." |

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) |
"Part nightmare, part psychotherapy, part docudrama, part cultural meta-narrative, part transcendent myth." |
Les Wright |

The Whole Nine Yards (2000) |
"It may be only February, but The Whole Nine Yards is already a prime contender for Worst Movie of the Year." |
