W. (2008)
"If history remembers W. at all, it'll be as a monument to the erosion of Oliver Stone's balls."

The Wackness (2008)
"With its full-on, fully uncritical glorification of adolescent male self-indulgence and permanent immaturity, The Wackness is a kind of cinematic embodiment of certain tendencies that make the sub-AICN movie web go round."
War, Inc. (2008)
"The John Cusack 'comedy' (generic term used loosely) gives anti-war filmmaking a bad name."
Tomato 6/10
We Live in Public (2009)
"A must see for anyone interested in internet fame and the phenomenon of casual over-sharing, even if the storytelling tactics are surprisingly stale."

"Video interview with Morgan Spurlock, from the SXSW Film Festival."

Winnebago Man (2009)
"The filmmaker never makes it about him %u2014 it's clear throughout that he's onscreen because that's the most direct way to tell this story, and he wants nothing more than to serve as a conduit between what he sees and what he wants us to see. You don't"
The Wrestler (2008)
"Rourke delivers a performance that seems to start and end in the cardiovascular system, making everything Rourke actually does seem effortless. As if he's just breathing it."
