Tomato 3/4
Waitress (2007)
"Writer-director-co-star Adrienne Shelly and her talented co-workers serve many charming scenes in Waitress."

Tomato
Walk the Line (2005)
"Walk the Line isn't the great musical biopic Ray is, but it has golden moments. "
WALL-E (2008)
"This grim vision of Earth's future is not so funny and not so cute. Nonetheless, the Pixar guys send another enthralling entertainment to the planet's movie screens."
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)
"In the wee world of clay animation, the brilliant Wallace and Gromit are big dogs indeed."
Splat 2/4
Wanted (2008)
"Wanted's torture-training, its depiction of murder as sport and its feeble justification for a thousand years of slaughter suggest a broken moral compass."
War of the Worlds (2005)
"Spielberg seldom gives Cruise, not to mention the audience, a break from the unstoppable peril of merciless invasion."
Splat 5/10
We Are Marshall (2006)
"Reaches for inspiration but finds mediocrity."
Wedding Crashers (2005)
"The frontrunner for this summer's funniest flick, Wedding Crashers is American Pie for grownups."
Splat
The Wedding Date (2005)
"Part romantic comedy, part soap opera, part travelogue, The Wedding Date fails to deliver on all counts."
What Happens in Vegas (2008)
"The outcome of What Happens In Vegas is obvious, but the journey there is fun."
When a Stranger Calls (2006)
"If you answer, you may be bored to death."
Splat 1.5/4
Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
"Better not set foot, hoof or paw on this isle of pain."
Tomato 3.5/4
Whip It (2009)
"Set in the rocky world of roller derby, Whip It proves Ellen Page can carry a good script without Kimya Dawson's songs and Michael Cera's sensitivity."
White Countess (2005)
"A worthy final collaboration from James Ivory and his late partner, Ismail Merchant."
Tomato 8/10
Who Killed The Electric Car? (2006)
"The film provides a journalistic service, telling a story that most people in the United States have not heard. It's a fascinating tale."
Why We Fight (2006)
"An unflattering look at America's military-industrial complex."
Splat 4/10
The Wicker Man (2006)
"The Wicker Man occupies some silly, nebulous middle ground between mystery and horror."
William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (2004)
"Shakespeare needs no special effects or short-sighted novelties. Michael Radford's straightforward telling of The Merchant of Venice does the great play justice."
Wimbledon (2004)
"The leads' good performances are sabotaged by a script that lacks the wit and spark of Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral. "
Woman, Thou Art Loosed (2004)
"Woman Thou Art Loosed isn't the most polished film to roll down the pike, but it has authenticity in its dialogue and situations that Hollywood films lack. "
World Trade Center (2006)
"By personalizing the tragedy of 9/11 and checking politics at the door, Stone mounts a first-class tale of strength and courage."
The World's Fastest Indian (2005)
"Like old Burt Munro from down under, the movie's a charmer."
Tomato 4/4
The Wrestler (2008)
"A nearly perfect portrait of a lovable loser who leaps to a place among the screen's most unforgettable underdogs."
