Rating	Title Year	Quote	Author

Splat C+	W. (2008)	"Total and utter kitten play; a softball portrait of Bush that resembles more of a nutty community theater production than a typical scorching Stone project."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D+	The Wackness (2008)	"While Levine works his film-school-grade visual quirks out (Spike Lee should call his lawyer), the story of Wackness is left in a messy bundle."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D+	WALL-E (2008)	"While Wall-E dances whimsically, it's a plodding, frighteningly hypocritical, and forbidding film that trips over its fogged intentions at every dreary turn."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B	Wanted (2008)	"An optical flame-thrower for the first hour, with the director pulling out all the stops to announce Wanted as a film cocked and loaded with exclamation points pointed in all directions."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato A-	War, Inc. (2008)	"Look at War, Inc as a back-flipping, over-the-top political farce, and the results are far more pleasurable. Consider the film an unofficial sequel to the 1997 classic Grosse Pointe Blank, and War, Inc. is absolutely wonderful."	Brian Orndorf
Splat C	Watchmen (2009)	"This is not a delectable mythos that needed a shiny new package for the world to enjoy, and especially not one that takes more pride in the art of the slow motion punch over an exhilarating sensation of doom."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B+	Waterworld (1995)	"Regardless of faults, I embrace Waterworld as the pure matinee escapism it was intended to be, readily devouring the sci-fi excitement both Reynolds and Costner are happy to dish up."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B	We Are Wizards (2008)	"Koury does a masterful job emphasizing literacy and purity of spirit in Wizards, assembling an often delightful documentary that celebrates the tight cultural grip of Potter and its fringe pastimes."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D-	Weekend at Bernie's (1989)	"Couldn't even drag a smile out of me. Chalk it up to either old age or the calcification of taste. Or just blame it on Silverman and McCarthy, who found their careers rightfully torn to shreds soon after the release of the film."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B	Wendy and Lucy (2008)	"Reichardt is a gifted visual composer and a dream with actors, but a little from this filmmaker goes an awfully long way. Wendy steps further into Reichardt's cinematic meditation, yet shows her straining to reach lofty emotional goals."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D+	What Happens in Vegas (2008)	"If I had anything kind to say about Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz before this film, I'm ready to take every word back...a shrill monstrosity of a romantic comedy."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B+	What Just Happened (2008)	"Levinson's knowledge on the subject mixed with Linson's wonderland atmosphere of spoiled brats and spineless fools makes for a riveting, uproarious viewing experience."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D+	What We Do Is Secret (2008)	"Striving to become the definitive word on an explosion of raw musical and philosophical energy, Secret is mostly about lukewarm actors playing dress up, walking around in punk heritage boots they can't stand up straight in."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato A-	When Harry Met Sally... (1989)	"Sally is special lightning-in-a-bottle stuff that every member of the production has spent precious years of their lives trying to recreate, but always failing miserably."	Brian Orndorf
Splat C-	Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)	"It's impossible to take Morgan Spurlock seriously as a big-screen documentarian. Clearly he comes from the Michael Moore school of "infotainment," only without the sharp wit or, frankly, compelling subject matters."	Brian Orndorf
Splat C+	Where the Wild Things Are (2009)	"Spike Jonze obviously has his heart in the right place here, but extending something so perfectly concise, so willingly brief, to an absurd length invites more trouble than triumph. The rumpus runs out of steam quickly."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D	While She Was Out (2008)	"Lukas Haas as the harbinger of Joy Division-fueled doom? I've seen gusts of wind with more menace than Haas, an unfortunate fact that seems to elude Montford's field of vision."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B-	Whip It (2009)	"Tries to cram in as many plot points as possible to fill its belly with caloric melodrama. It's a diluted journey of feminine self-realization, better with bruises and teamwork than it is with pliable matters of the heart."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato A-	White on Rice (2009)	"Bursts with creative energy and stupendous execution, continuously generating colossal laughs as it arranges a colorful bouquet of insecurities and absurdity. It's a divine motion picture."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D-	Whiteout (2009)	"A dreadful sleeping pill, marching into production with the best intentions in the world, but coming out the other side a jumbled, incompetent, ludicrously underlined whodunit."	Brian Orndorf
Splat C	The Women (2008)	"The performances shine, but the rest of this mediocre travelogue of feminine foibles is given the blunt-force treatment, draining the material of deserved big-screen acidity."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato A-	World's Greatest Dad (2009)	"It's a double miracle: a stupendous comedy and a great argument for mass sterilization."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato A	The Wrestler (2008)	"Aronofsky appears to be on an impressive trek to discover his humanistic filmmaking reflexes, and "The Wrestler" is a stupendous achievement of tone and emotional fullness to be pored over long after the end credits roll."	Brian Orndorf
