Waitress (2007) |
"Despite Shelly's twist of disturbing fate, WAITRESS will be a memorialized nod of a little gem of a film that delivered a slice of pie to our hungry, entertaining expectations" |

Walk the Line (2005) |
"Walk does more than tip toe to the legendary aura of Johnny Cash--it stomps its feet more pleasingly than an overactive Baptist preacher during Sunday services." |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 1.5/4 |
A Walk to Remember (2002) |
"This is for those who appreciate their Dawson Creek fix supersized on the big screen. Taking a Walk to this pandering afterschool premise will make some cry indeed...but unfortunately, for the wrong reasons." |
Frank Ochieng |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"Triumphant and teary-eyed, WALL-E withstands its mellifluous moments with a welcomed surge of honesty, impishness and introspection...smart, heart-warming and savvy in its observational radar." |
Frank Ochieng |
Tomato 4/4 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"...a grandly infectious animated showcase that radiates with genuine wit and warmth. Imaginative, riotous and inherently clever..." |

Watchmen (2009) |
"A nearly 3-hour orgy of orchestrated violent vibrancy designed to perpetuate a whole new appreciation for ambitious, unconventional superhero expositions. Robustly confrontational and impishly raw." |
Frank Ochieng |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wattstax (1973) |
"Wattstax was more than just an elaborate musical gathering of gifted energetic artists out to corral a spirited mood—it was an undeniably ultimate black lyrical experience...this stylish funky forum is infectious." |

Welcome to Mooseport (2004) |
"...we’ve seen more funny flexibility from a tedious filibuster in the US Senate. It's basically a political ping pong match being played clumsily without the paddles." |

Wendy and Lucy (2008) |
"[A] thoroughly contemplative and reflective small scale feature. Tender and relentlessly subdued in its low-key poignancy...quaint yet [a] gut-wrenching narrative." |

Whale Rider (2003) |
"Poignant, intelligent, courageous and informative, Caro’s lyrical exposition dares to take on the imagination of children and their adult counterparts and whisk them away in a somber storytelling mood that’s culturally compelling." |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 2/4 |
What a Girl Wants (2003) |
"...[a] generic and syrupy teen comedy...isn’t necessarily what a girl needs—a derivative and excessively perky preteen portrait of a curvy belly-buttoned babe-in-the-woods" |
Frank Ochieng |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
What Just Happened (2008) |
"Although slightly scathing in its cynical look at highly paid Hollywood hacks rambunctiously jumping through artistic creative hoops, Happened is impishly on the spot in its aimless ribbing at movie wheeling-and-dealing madness." |
Frank Ochieng |
Tomato 4/4 |
What Time Is It There? (2002) |
"Inherently caustic and oddly whimsical, the film chimes in on the grieving process and strangely draws the audience into the unexplainable pain and eccentricities that are attached to the concept of loss." |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 2/4 |
When a Stranger Calls (2006) |
"West dials up a wrong number in this flimsy remake of the 1979 B-movie...When A Stranger Calls feels about as flat and plastic as a long distance phone card." |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 2/4 |
Where The Truth Lies (2005) |
"...misguided and semi-sensationalistic...Truth plays more like a tension-filled tease than it does a scathing commentary on the rigors of fame and its unpredictable frivolity" |

White Chicks (2004) |
"...so painfully strained and obvious. What did they (The Wayans) do to be inspired by this wreck—sniff crushed crayons as they were developing this ill-conceived prank?" |

Splat 2/5 |
White Man's Burden (1995) |
"The racial message is crystal clear and the concept of turning the tables on oppression is rather interesting. Unfortunately, the movie is never focused or convincingly solid to realize the cynicism in its meandering material. At best, "Burden" is merely" |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 1.5/4 |
White Noise (2005) |
"...a hollow horrorfest immersed in its own conjured-up clumsiness. Sax’s thin-laced thriller is about as suspenseful as an overdue library book waiting to be returned." |

Who Framed Roger Rabbit? (1988) |
"It is one of the few movies that actually feels real, no matter how many cartoon characters graze the images..." |

Who is Cletis Tout? (2002) |
"Whereas the extremely competent hitman films such as Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty resonate a sardonic verve to their caustic purpose for existing, Who Is Cletis Tout? is an inexpressible and drab wannabe looking for that exact niche." |

Wild Hogs (2007) |

The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) |
"The drumbeat behind the Thornberrys' energetic exploits may not be as explosive as its celebrated Disney counterpart The Lion King, but it certainly gives off a similar rhythmic radiance nevertheless." |

Wild Tigers I Have Known (2007) |
"There's just not enough psychological mustard to cover this earnest hotdog-of-a-movie about a male loner's breakout infatuation with the studmuffin of his wildest dreams." |

Willard (2003) |
"Morgan’s frightening and frivolous fable has an entrancing hysteria that teeters between a mocking macabre and a nail-biting social commentary...a menacing and hypnotic creep show that has perverse fun tantalizing its voyeuristic audience" |
