Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato
3/4

V For Vendetta (2005)

"There's no denying the value of Vendetta as an argument starter, even if the basic argument -- when is terrorism justified? -- is something less than novel."

Terry Lawson

Tomato

Va Savoir (2001)

"Clocking in at 2 1/2 hours, Va Savoir is in essence a madcap bedroom farce, the kind where doors open and slam with wild precision."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

The Valet (2007)

"Call it a sorbet, a soufflé or an amuse bouche, The Valet is a satisfying antidote to the overload and bombast that run rampant in American movies at this time of the year."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Valiant (2005)

"Even young viewers will recognize Valiant as second-tier Disney."

John Monaghan

Splat
1/4

Van Helsing (2004)

"Loud, clunky attempt at updating the classic Universal Pictures baddies of the '30s and '40s."

John Monaghan

Splat
1/4

Van Wilder: The Rise of Taj (2006)

"In this sequel to the 2002 campus comedy, Kal Penn spends much of the running time acting like Wilder I star Ryan Reynolds, which no actor with half a brain should be doing."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

Vanaja (2007)

"This is heart-wrenching Indian drama in the vein of Deepa Mehta's recent Water, again dealing with a young girl trying to find her self-worth in the midst of a repressive caste system and physical abuse."

John Monaghan

Tomato

Vanilla Sky (2001)

"It's visual, it's bombastic, it tells a story that almost makes sense, and you can't get it out of your head."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Vanity Fair (2004)

"Even with a running time of more than 2 hours, this kind of condensation means we race through the story's second half in a time warp not aided by Nair's garish, out-of-nowhere and out-of-place Indian interludes."

Terry Lawson

Splat
1/4

Venom (2005)

"Venom is even more pointless than most supernatural slasher movies."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

Venus (2006)

"Venus is emotionally affecting, not because O'Toole's Maurice is coping with mortality, but because of the honest way he confronts it."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
4/4

Vera Drake (2004)

"Gripping and elegantly told."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Veronica Guerin (2003)

"Slick but sincere."

Terry Lawson

Tomato

Vertical Limit (2000)

"Nearly all, from a gut-crunching helicopter drop to a literal cliff-hanger of excruciating tension, will have you mentally grasping for a lifeline, even if you fail to completely comprehend what's going on."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

A Very Long Engagement (2004)

"The comic-dramatic divide of A Very Long Engagement is difficult to traverse, much less conquer. It's simply hard to be charmed with all those corpses scattered about."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

View from the Top (2003)

"A sputtering prop plane with a Concorde cast."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

The Village (2004)

"All this craftsmanship and a very fine performance by Howard, however, is in the service of a story that unlike Shyamalan's previous films contains no underlying themes or ideas."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

The Violin (2007)

"The film from first-timer Francisco Vargas puts a human face on universal suffering. It is also about the power of music, as the title instrument saves (for a while anyway) three generations of peasant men in their roles as guerrilla fighters."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

Voices Of Iraq (2006)

"Maybe my skepticism comes with the timing -- the movie arrives just days before the presidential election."

John Monaghan

Tomato
4/4

Volver (2006)

"If Almodovar is in great form, Cruz is even shapelier, with no small number of gags involving her cleavage."

Terry Lawson
