The Wackness (2008)

"Jonathan Levine's The Wackness is a studiously offbeat coming-of-age crowd-pleaser set in New York City during the long-ago, far-away days of...the summer of 1994."

Waiting... (2005)

"The rest of the laughs (when they eventually arrive; the first half hour is kinda bleak) are mostly scraped from the pit of your roiling stomach."

Waitress (2007)

"Waitress is a wee romantic charmer, a delectable Dixie screwball romp that never loses its spry sense of discovery."

Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price (2005)

"With little fanfare, Robert Greenwald has become one of the most incisive activist filmmakers in America."

Walk on Water (2005)

"Lior Ashkenazi, who stars in it as an emotionally buttoned-down Mossad agent, has the debonair subtlety and charisma of an Israeli Clive Owen."

Walk the Line (2005)

"A big, juicy, enjoyable wide-canvas biography with a handful of indelible moments, but it's just compelling enough to make you wish that it had attained the level of artistry of those other films."

The Walker (2007)

"The story of an aging, self-hating homosexual who goes home alone to his lacquered town house feels ancient as well as uncomfortable for the writer-director."

The Wall (2004)

"[A] stately, outraged partisan nonfiction film."

WALL-E (2008)

"It whisks you to another world, then makes it every inch our own."

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)

"The Curse of the Were-Rabbit bestows generous blessings on all that's good in Englishness, in moviedom, and, of course, in cheese."

Wanted (2008)

"Wanted is kind of unintelligible and idiotic. Also kind of nasty and brutish. And also undeniably kind of fun."

War Dance (2007)

"The cinematography is striking. The music is mesmerizing. And the triumph of the underdog team against all odds is extra satisfying."

War of the Worlds (2005)

"War of the Worlds is an attack-of-the-aliens disaster film crafted with sinister technological grandeur -- a true popcorn apocalypse."

The War Within (2005)

"Along with the obvious practical, political self-interest, there's an undeniable creepy voyeurism that enters our desire to know what goes on in the mind of a suicide bomber."

WarGames (1983)

The Warrior (2005)

"Asif Kapadia's blazing feature debut, a gorgeously photographed saga with a fine sense of the way place shapes personality, has won numerous awards in the filmmaker's native Britain."

The Wash (2001)

"So ramshackle it's nearly enough to make you forget how tossed-together the 1976 Car Wash was."

The Watcher (2000)

"Multiple candles may be a universal symbol in movies (and rock videos) for romance and spirituality. But they're useless in illuminating the deadness of The Watcher."

Watchmen (2009)

"Watchmen isn't boring, but as a fragmented sci-fi doomsday noir, it remains as detached from the viewer as it is from the zeitgeist."

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)

"The star of this Scottish fable, about the mythical Loch Ness monster, looks like a raw chicken breast with teeth when he hatches."
