W. (2008) |
"Oliver Stone's biggest problems with W. might be the desire to avoid controversy and an inability to find the right tone." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Waiting... (2005) |
"I want Ryan Reynolds’ career and his abs ... he'll always get a phone call when Vince Vaughn turns down a role." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Waitress (2007) |
"has a fun, whimsical side to it (and lots of scrumptious looking pies), but also tackles some heartbreaking issues along the way" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"Very funny when focused on being a parody, but goes for the cheap laughs and shock jokes too often" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.75/4 |
Walk the Line (2005) |
"Goodwin shows us the fallout, which could and should lead to her own Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Walking Tall (2004) |
"The Rock walks softly and carries a big stick (to WHOMP on some bad guys)...If it wasn't for The Rock, Walking Tall would be very run of the mill" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"He is the cutest robot since R2-D2, but I wish the whole movie was just as cute." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"Wallace and Gromit are two of the most lovably goofy characters in movie history with amazing chemistry, and appeal to all ages, which is quite shocking for two lumps of clay" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Wanted (2008) |
"Has the action you want from a summer blockbuster, and the Angelina Jolie you want from any movie, but the story is stupid." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
War of the Worlds (2005) |
"It makes Independence Day look like The Muppet Movie." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Watchmen (2009) |
"Watchmen is like having too much of your favorite thing. I love ice cream, but I can't eat an entire gallon in one sitting" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
We Are Marshall (2006) |
"Matthew Fox, who is supposed to be playing second fiddle to Matthew McConaughey, actually upstages the bigger star by doing everything right that the Texan does wrong (sounding and acting like Yosemite Sam doesn't always work)" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
We Own The Night (2007) |
"A good idea executed badly." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Weather Man (2005) |
"Cage is fantastic as the slightly off kilter, slightly phony personality struggling to find inner peace." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wedding Crashers (2005) |
"With nudity, raunchy humor, and filthy language, The Wedding Crashers is my kind of movie, but it's so good and sneaky, it also becomes a very good date movie" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Wedding Date (2005) |
"Going to see Wedding Date is like going on a date with me. It is moderately pleasant, but you are not going to do it a second time because you know you can do better." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008) |
"Faithfully and fatally committed to producing a gross out comedy that undeniably grosses" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/5 |
Welcome to Hollywood (1998) |
"It gets silly towards the end, but it's a fun ride" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
What Happens in Vegas (2008) |
"not a complete lost cause, but no one tries to emerge from the icky goo known as mediocrity" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
When a Stranger Calls (2006) |
"some of the cast is so bad it made me wonder if they won some sort of internet contest, or were the fifth caller on a radio station to get their roles" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"Spike Jonze has gone to great lengths to make Where The Wild Things Are feel magical, mysterious, dangerous and enthralling, but doesn't have the story to make it happen." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Whip It (2009) |
"The result is a mixed Whip It crying out for more edge and honesty with a cast that looks like it is playing dress up" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
White Chicks (2004) |
"White Chicks is a slapstick, silly, sometimes crude comedy with some jokes that leave you laughing, and others that fall very short of the mark.
" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
White Noise (2005) |
"The movie suffers from The Forgotten Effect. When deciding between possible endings, they chose the most ludicrous one, just like in The Forgotten.
" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat .5/4 |
Whiteout (2009) |
"Those worried this means Beckinsale will be wearing parkas and snowsuits the entire time will be pleased they still figure a way to showcase her in her underwear within the first 5 minutes" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat .5/4 |
The Whole Ten Yards (2004) |
"The Whole Ten Yards fails to work on so many levels that it's hard to know where to begin" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 0/4 |
The Wicker Man (2006) |
"When he was reading the script, and saw the part of the movie where he is supposed to run through the forest in a bear suit, I hope Cage asked for a huge pay raise." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
Wicker Park (2004) |
"Wicker Park isn't very good, but it is fixable. The biggest problems are caused when director Paul McGuigan is trying to do too much." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Wild (2006) |
"a passable movie because of its star, and because talking animals are funny" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
Wild Hogs (2007) |
"a more appropriate title would have been Wild Bores...It's a movie running down the middle of the road, and you know what you find in the middle of the road? Bad movies and slow squirrels." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland (2008) |
"A freewheeling, sometimes unfocused, but always entertaining and intriguing look at some people you hope will make it big in their chosen career" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Wimbledon (2004) |
"Wimbledon is a mix of comedy, sports, and romance, but the romance doesn't flow as well as the sports and comedy." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
Without A Paddle (2004) |
"At least Harold and Kumar were stoned (and funny). When characters are this stupid in a movie, they deserve to be eaten by a bear." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Wolf Creek (2005) |
"Writer/director Greg McLean shows a deft hand setting up the audience and terrorizing us, but doesn't do it enough or early enough in the film." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Woman, Thou Art Loosed (2004) |
"Woman Thou Art Loosed is a decent movie, but it needs more story and more opportunities for the actors to showcase their abilities." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
The Women (2008) |
"Thankfully, the last 20 minutes of the movie are not a total waste, but I doubt many will stick around long enough to enjoy them" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Wordplay (2006) |
"Get ready to attend the world's biggest celebration of nerds!" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
World Trade Center (2006) |
"Stone has delivered a beautiful, heartfelt and touching movie that celebrates the heroes of September 11th and will leave everyone in the audience with a lump in their throats and a few tears in their eyes." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The World's Fastest Indian (2005) |
"I imagine a double feature of this and Glory Road could even make Chuck Norris cry" |

World's Greatest Dad (2009) |
