Tomato 3/4 |
W. (2008) |
"In the end, W. makes up in immediacy what it lacks in objectivity." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Wackness (2008) |
"When The Wackness is good, it's good, and when it fails, it's still clear what Levine was trying to do. Someday he'll probably be able to do it." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Wag the Dog (1997) |
"Between the laughs, there are moments that ring so true they can raise goosebumps." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Waging A Living |
"The intent of Waging a Living is to inspire outrage, and to an extent it succeeds." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
Wah-Wah (2006) |
"The characters may be based on real people, but they fail to spring to life onscreen. As a result, their histrionics often are laughable, like the over-the-top shenanigans in a Douglas Sirk melodrama." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Waist Deep (2006) |
"Sometimes excessiveness and implausibility are virtues in disguise. Movies this enjoyable don't come about by accident." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Waiting for Guffman (1997) |
"The originality and audacity of the film, written by Guest and Levy, is what holds us. They never lose the conceit that the documentary filmmakers, and not themselves, are the ones who made this movie." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 2/4 |
Waiting to Exhale (1995) |
"You want the movie to stomp and rejoice and cry like a fool; instead it meanders and lollygags, occasionally flaring up, then sputtering again." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 3/4 |
Waiting... (2005) |
"This movie's two goals are to be over-the-top funny and remind audience members what it feels like to be in your early 20s without a plan, and it's a complete success in both areas." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Tomato 4/4 |
Waitress (2007) |
"Waitress deserves an essay, not just a review. There are perfect moments that stand out, and the reasons for their perfection are interesting." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
A Wake in Providence (2005) |
"Hilarious and filled with wonderful characters and situations." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Splat 2/4 |
Waking Life (2001) |
"Adds up to little more than a series of disconnected impressions, but it holds interest despite an almost nonexistent narrative, and that's something." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Waking Ned Devine (1998) |
"There is some nudity in Ned Devine, but it's the funniest nudity in movies in ages." |
Peter Stack |
Tomato 4/4 |
Waking the Dead (2000) |
"A film teeming with riches." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"Walk Hard is 100 minutes of fun, and for pure, uncomplicated enjoyment, it's the movie to see right now." |

Walk on Water (2005) |
"Thought-provoking." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Walk the Line (2005) |
"A passionate, warts-and-all chronicle of an extraordinary American artist, not to mention a love story that can't be beat." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
A Walk to Remember (2002) |
"A story about intelligent high school students that deals with first love sweetly but also seriously. It is also beautifully acted." |
Octavio Roca |
Tomato 3/4 |
Walkabout (1971) |
"Roeg intercuts images of modern life with the lushness of nature -- offering a stunning fable about the importance of respecting the earth." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Walker (2007) |
"There is good writing here, and Thomas is very good as always, but the movie works because of Harrelson's performance." |

Splat 2/4 |
Walking Tall (2004) |
"A routine showcase, modest in its aspiration and effective within its limits, entertaining in the moment but, in the end, faintly silly." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"The power of WALL-E as a character, the poetic figure of the robot drawn to human splendor, remains powerful throughout -- and Pixar's loveliest creation." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"Curse of the Were-Rabbit is teeming with activity and clever asides." |

Walt and El Grupo (2009) |

Wanted (2008) |
"Ultimately, watching Wanted feels like being privy to somebody else's unwholesome fantasy, one you'd rather not know about." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
War (2007) |
"There isn't enough humor in the script and not enough style in the direction by newcomer Philip G. Atwell. A few plot twists keep things interesting, but the best ones come long after anyone could possibly care." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Splat 2/4 |
The War at Home (1996) |
"Full of little acting moments that feel like ACK-ting moments." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
War Dance (2007) |
"The horror and heartwarming [is] equally compounded." |

Tomato 4/4 |
War of the Worlds (2005) |
"Meticulously detailed and expertly paced and photographed, with sights so spectacular and terrible that viewers will have to consciously remind themselves to close their mouths when their jaws drop open." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
War Photographer (2002) |
"This film is an act of spiritual faith -- an eloquent, deeply felt meditation on the nature of compassion." |

Peter Stack |
Tomato 4/4 |
The War Tapes (2006) |
"At its best, The War Tapes serves as an exploration of the soldier mentality -- or at least of the mentality of the folks who'd volunteer to go to Iraq." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
The War Within (2005) |
"The picture couldn't be more topical, but in the end it feels schematic, and you sense that the filmmakers are trying too hard to be even-handed." |
Walter V. Addiego |

Splat 1/4 |
War, Inc. (2008) |
"Like the smart weapon technology it mocks, War, Inc. aims at the right targets but misfires so severely that even the clever details get obliterated in the resulting mess." |
Reyhan Harmanci |
Tomato 3/4 |
Warchild (2008) |
"Warchild, the second feature of German director Christian Wagner's Balkan Blues Trilogy, is one of those rare war films, like Apocalypse Now and Hiroshima Mon Amour, that makes brilliant use of symbolism." |
Tamara Straus |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Warrior (2005) |
"Long before the end, it takes on the quality of a wise fable and reveals itself as an enriching experience." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Warrior of Light (2003) |
"When it sticks to Bezerra de Mello, who's a genuine heroine despite her joking disavowals of her importance, it's riveting." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat 2/4 |

Wasabi (2002) |
"A silly, cross-cultural shoot-'em-up -- the sort of movie that will work for those with some time to kill." |
