Waking Ned Devine (1998) |
"A slight, sleep-inducing "comedy" that plods so deliberately from gag to alleged gag that nothing comes as a surprise." |

WALL-E (2008) |
"Even after WALL-E turns clunky, the beauty of its images is undiminished, the acuity of its animation unrivaled, the warmth underlying it all apparent." |

Wanted (2008) |
"The most interesting thing about Wanted is that its protagonist is one of the most unlikable action heroes in memory." |

Watchmen (2009) |
"I spent most of the movie scorning Snyder's reverence to the original, then spent the last half-hour resenting him for changing my favorite part." |

Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) |
"If the film's execution lacks the stuff it struts in conception, it's still quite a concept, and a unique, cerebral horror film." |

What Dreams May Come (1998) |
"For all its deep thinking and strong feelings, What Dreams May Come suffers from an overwhelming banality." |

White (1993) |
"Bookended as it is by Blue and Red, the second film in Kieslowski's liberty/ equality/ fraternity trilogy is a welcome relief from the sometimes tragic sensibility of the other two films." |

Wild Things (1998) |
"Far be it from me to say it's no fun to watch a movie that so doggedly avoids any hint of redeeming value." |

Wild Wild West (1999) |
"A thoroughly misconceived mishmash of pop attitude, nostalgia and James Bond-style gadgetry turns the fondly remembered Western TV series into a monumental misfire of a summer action movie." |

William Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet (1996) |
"Not surprising that it's occasionally silly - what may be surprising is that, at least as often, it really works." |

Winchester '73 (1950) |
"Jimmy Stewart's performance is tinged with desperation and dementia -- the work of a great actor discovering a new boldness inside." |

Wings of Desire (1987) |
"The universal appeal of Wings of Desire has to do with the way that it addresses not merely angels above a divided city, but all of us struggling with the divided natures of our lives and our souls." |

Wonder Boys (2000) |
"I think it's a satire that portrays academia as an extended, dysfunctional family. That it's often quite funny doesn't keep it from feeling forced." |

"Sometimes, hokum works pretty beautifully." |
