Tomato 4/5 |
W. (2008) |
"It doesn't stand with Stone's acknowledged masterpieces. The history is too fresh and under-digested. But W. does show a master filmmaker plunging into the history and politics that have been his passion for much of his career." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Wackness (2008) |
"That first sight of Ben Kingsley sucking down a bowl will burn into your memory. You may be watching The Wackness but it's hard to forget that this is Gandhi putting Bic to bong in Jonathan Levine's silly, sappy and sympathetic coming-of-age memoir." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Waist Deep (2006) |
"Waist Deep is a hip, hard genre picture that begins well, but quickly gets in over its head." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Waiting... (2005) |
"Waiting makes us wait too long between laughs. But its sly awareness of the people and the work might transport you back to that Pizza Hut, Olive Garden or T.G.I. Friday's in your own "Order up!" past." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Waitress (2007) |
"This bittersweet romantic farce teeters and then tips into precious, a forgivable sin once you know this sweet movie's sad history." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"Never stops sprinting from its snickering start to that big finish." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Walk on Water (2005) |
"Terrific Israeli drama." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Walk the Line (2005) |
"Walk the Line is a spirited and winning reminder of the man before he became the legend, of the giant shadow he cast, and of the remarkable woman who cast her shadow over him." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
A Walk to Remember (2002) |
"It can't rise above the insipid banality of Sparks' recycled and recycled again small-town romance." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Walking Tall (2004) |
"A big step backward for The Scorpion King." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"The idea that an ancient Hollywood musical, with its love duets and foot-tapping dance numbers, would be the thing that awakens emotions in both humans and robots, is pure genius." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"A silly and cuddly dab of Silly Putty animation from the folks who gave us Chicken Run but who made their reputations doing short films about a daft Englishman and his dog." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Wanted (2008) |
"Wanted hurtles past our eyes and ears too fast to register as much more than a video game." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
War (2007) |

Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
War of the Worlds (2005) |
"Spielberg is pretty much incapable of making a terrible movie anymore. But he has plainly forgotten a lot of what makes a good popcorn movie since his Jurassic period. Where's the fun?" |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Wash (2001) |
"Hilarity ensues. Except when it doesn't, which is pretty much the entire movie." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Watcher (2000) |
"Has 'direct to video' stamped all over it." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Watchmen (2009) |
"A work that's easier to ponder than enjoy." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Water (2006) |
"Mehta prevailed, and this scandalous, beautiful and very moving tale of repression, hope and a tragedy is her triumph, and Hindu India's shame." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007) |
"Maybe the best thing about this cute pet movie is that the kids won't be able to talk you into picking one up on the way home from the theater." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
The Way of the Gun (2000) |
"Unusually clever." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
We Are Marshall (2006) |
"We Are Marshall (it's the rally cry of the team) doesn't always have a handle on the grief, but it does keep emotions close to the surface. That allows McConaughey to be the most refreshing, funny and believable he ever has been." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004) |
"We Don't Live Here Anymore is, you might say, a movie for adults who are, perhaps, a smidge too impressed with being adults." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen (2005) |

Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
We Own The Night (2007) |
"It would be nothing more than sturdy entertainment were it not for the presence of Joaquin Phoenix and Mark Wahlberg." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
We Were Soldiers (2002) |
"... a winning, balanced and compassionate war movie, one with room for both heroism and command incompetence, sacrifice and its consequences." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Weather Man (2005) |
"An engaging meditation on a man cursed with that midlife self-awareness." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Wedding Crashers (2005) |
"The funniest movie of the summer." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
The Wedding Date (2005) |
"An epic comic miscalculation." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Wedding Planner (2001) |
"If you took My Best Friend's Wedding, showed it to a bunch of kids and then asked them to make the same film, they might come up with something like The Wedding Planner." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008) |
"Hollywood, which spent most of the last century ignoring the black family, seems determined to spend most of this one showing the same black family. Over and over." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Welcome to Mooseport (2004) |
"What a boring place Mooseport turns out to be." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Wendigo (2002) |
"Fessenden ... sets a chilling tone of anticipation that keeps you inching forward, a scene at a time, until you're on the edge of your seat." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Wendy and Lucy (2008) |
"Williams and Patton and the folks of this corner of Oregon serve up a slice of "indie" that, if it doesn't reach the level of "inspires," at least feels timely and true." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Whale Rider (2003) |
"The film is closer to a feminist tract. And, like all propaganda, it wants to do all of your thinking for you." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
What a Girl Wants (2003) |
"The new film is an excellent choice for American parents who want their children to grow up infatuated with British royalty." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
What Happens in Vegas (2008) |
"Screenwriter Dana Fox (the dreadful Wedding Date was hers) and director Tom Vaughan can't find much fun or romance in this. What Happens in Vegas ... offers none of the surprises that screen comedy so desperately needs." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
What Just Happened (2008) |
"Movies about Hollywood are as common as Jolie babies, and there have been broader, funnier, meaner takes on the business than this one. But this Barry Levinson version of real-life producer Art Linson's memoir is more movie-savvy than any of them." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
What Lies Beneath (2000) |
"If nothing else, What Lies Beneath is a fine showcase for Pfeiffer." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat |
What Planet Are You From? (2000) |
"The film just sort of lies there -- inspiration gone, premise spent, synthentic possibilities utterly exhausted." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato |
What Women Want (2000) |
"For a while, anyway, it's very funny." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat |
What's The Worst That Could Happen? (2001) |
"The stars have no edge to their performances and Worst never comes close to becoming 'best.'" |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Whatever It Takes (2000) |
"There's something sweet and delightfully anarchic about it." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Whatever Works (2009) |
"Whatever Works isn't deep, but with Grandpa Woody, you accept the warmed over, the recycled, just relieved he hasn't made a spectacle of himself." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
When a Stranger Calls (2006) |
"It's funny how the story's mechanics hold up in the age of cells (static) and caller ID." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |

Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008) |
"The director of Super Size Me shows something else -- guts -- in his sober-minded but comical, skeptical but never cynical documentary, Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?" |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Where the Heart Is (2000) |
"Watching Where the Heart Is, in fact, is a little like listening to the town gossip run her mouth about everyone she knows." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"As a children's film, it's a bore. And as a grand film enterprise, Where the Wild Things Are skirts the line between folly and fiasco." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Whip It (2009) |
"This is Juno meets Slap Shot, a well-directed, well-cast romp that doesn't quite transcend its worn formula but is still the best girl-powered sports film since Bend it Like Beckham." |
Roger Moore |
