V For Vendetta (2005) |
"V for Vendetta is a thought-provoking, suspenseful thriller set in the near future, as the American empire is in ruins and sees a fascist version of England as the new world leader." |

Vacancy (2007) |
"An insufferable, poor-taste thriller devoid of substance and almost completely free of scares, not to mention original ideas." |

Valentino: the Last Emperor (2009) |
"[Director] Tyrnauer and the movie seem blinded by Valentino's stardom and start to lose their way. As a result, the documentary is unfocused." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Valet (2007) |
"The Valet is a trifle with a few good ideas strewn about, but which feels rushed and too flimsy for its own good." |

Valkyrie (2008) |
"What the film really has going for it is a good supporting cast. Actors playing von Stauffenberg's fellow conspirators include Bill Nighy, Kenneth Branagh and Terence Stamp." |

Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) |
"An uneasy blending of sci-fi elements, gothic horror, spaghetti westerns and Beauty and the Beast romance." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Vampire in Brooklyn (1995) |
"Murphy's performance is pretty good most of the way, but he needed a stronger director than horrormeister Wes Craven to keep him in check." |

Vanilla Sky (2001) |
"A talky bore that reduces the original film's pontificating -- about the nature of 'reality' -- to windy, fortune-cookie philosophizing." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Vanishing (1988) |
"Utterly original, a wonderful little foreign-language gem." |

The Vanishing (1993) |
"Where the original film was haunting and spooky and ultimately quite shocking, this version is more flat and matter-of-fact." |
Chris Hicks |

Vanity Fair (2004) |
"It's executed poorly, with a lack of energy and spark." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Vantage Point (2008) |
"This action/suspense-thriller is hopelessly convoluted and contrived. The filmmakers are clearly trying to duplicate the style and feel vastly superior television series 24." |

Vanya on 42nd Street (1994) |
"The performances here are all knockouts, with a perfect ensemble cast, and Malle, using subtle moviemaking technique, keeps things moving so that we hardly realize we are stagebound for nearly two hours." |

The Velveteen Rabbit (2009) |
"These days, even employing the traditional, 2-D cel style of animation seems like a quaint notion." |

Venom (2005) |
"As much as audience members will want to laugh it off the screen, it even defies that much enthusiasm." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3/4 |
Venus (2006) |
"The film has O'Toole, who's as riveting as ever. Fans of the much-nominated actor will be happy to see that advancing age hasn't diminished his ability." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3/4 |
Vera Drake (2004) |
"There's a gentleness and sweetness to Vera Drake that belies how edgy, controversial and ugly some of the material is." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Veronica Guerin (2003) |
"While Blanchett's performance as the title character is terrific, the film undercuts her at nearly every turn." |

Vertical Limit (2000) |
"As completely ludicrous as it is at times, and as absolutely preposterous as it is at other times, it's still hard to hate Vertical Limit." |

The Vertical Ray of the Sun (2001) |
"As impenetrable as the film seems at times, it's also visually stunning ... and the performances are uniformly good." |

Vertigo (1958) |
"Bernard Herrmann's eloquent score is among his finest, Stewart is excellent, as always, and Kim Novak is surprisingly effective in her role, another of Hitchcock's icy blondes." |

A Very Long Engagement (2004) |
"If you are among those feeling starved for an epic romance, this engaging, touching, drama-comedy- mystery fills the bill." |
Jeff Vice |

Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008) |
"this is one of the more interesting things Allen has done of late. Tonally, it definitely feels more European than anything he's made — even more than some of his other, recent European film ventures." |

The Virgin Suicides (1999) |
"This corrosive tragi-comedy is a surprisingly well-put-together little movie that achieves most of its goals." |

Virtuosity (1995) |
"There are some interesting ideas at work here, with potential for commentary on news vs. entertainment and violence in America. But it remains unexplored." |

Virus (1998) |
"This disgustingly gory science-fiction/horror film also bears a striking resemblance to last year's equally graphic Deep Rising and nearly surpasses that film with its sheer stupidity." |
