Tomato 2.5/4 |
Waitress (2007) |
"A quirky comedy with emotional impact. One of my favorite genres actually. Tight direction, strong dialogue, good acting. Imagine the Coen brothers at Mel's Diner." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Waking Life (2001) |
"Takes "My Dinner with Andre" into the university classroom: Philosophy 101." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Waking the Dead (2000) |
"It's kind of like oatmeal. Without honey or milk, it tastes rather bland, but sticks to your ribs all day." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"An SNL sketch may have been a better vehicle for such a spoof. On the big screen, it ends up having a film life of its own becoming a music bio pic in order to sustain." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Walk the Line (2005) |
"Impressive start, strong acting, but goes long. A bit tedious to watch Joaquin Cash stumble all over his personal life. Maybe that's because we saw Ray not so long ago." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
A Walk to Remember (2002) |
"salvageable bad boy falling for the relentless believer in good." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato B+ |
WALL-E (2008) |
"Despite an intriguing story, the picture falls from Art to the realm of kiddy-film fare. I'd have loved to see Pixar limit the dialogue to two words: Eva and Wall-E." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 4/4 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"It's simply great! Go see it." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
War of the Worlds (2005) |
"A Brick-breaking, glass-shattering, emotion-grabbing first half, stalls, then tailspins into a complete mess. Ending is as bad as the openning is good." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato A- |
The War Tapes (2006) |
"Universally Worthwhile -- not just as a documentary on this war. But as a documentary on this war, I think it's quite interestingly balanced." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Watcher (2000) |
"Has action, humor, and great dialogue." |
|
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Watcher (2000) |
"is stirring, has action, humor, and great dialogue (the Spader character is artfully drawn and portrayed)." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Watchmen (2009) |
"Wow! Your ticket price will buy you a whole lot of movie. Big smooth action, intense emotive acting, complicated plot, steamy romance. This is not a child's comic book flick." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Way We Get By (2009) |
"A beautiful, affecting documentary with an appropriately sweet original sound track." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1/4 |
We Own The Night (2007) |
"Acting is strong (I like these stars), the direction passionate, but the film is bleak and laborious with unbelievable and-or undeveloped progressions in the telling." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
We Were Soldiers (2002) |
"Succeeds in conveying the horrors of war, the good intentions of soldiers, but little more." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Weather Man (2005) |
"This may be a great film for people out of touch with how their negative behaviors effect those they love." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Wedding Crashers (2005) |
"Delivers its fair share of laughs & guffaws. Always amusing, fairly engaging. That said, there is no real emotional arc, no grand build to climax." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 6/10 |
The Wedding Planner (2001) |
"A sweet love story hampered by contrived conflicts." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Welcome to Collinwood (2002) |
"A fun quirky comedy, brilliant-plan-gone-awry picture. Surprising, amusing and odd, the plot plays rather unpredictable, purposely misfiring like an old Cleveland V-8." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Welcome to Mooseport (2004) |
"A faulted comedy with a great pace that aims for cute and occasionally succeeds.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Whale Rider (2003) |
"The first 2/3rds are artfully, soulfully crafted with heart, family, tradition and real humor." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 7/10 |
What Lies Beneath (2000) |
"Pfeiffer and Ford forge fantastically. -- INTERVIEWS HERE ALSO --" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
What Planet Are You From? (2000) |
"Love Shandling? Me too ... go see it. Hate Shandling ... don't see it. (I liked it a lot!)" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
What the Bleep Do We Know? (2004) |
"...So if you like a picture that makes you think -or- you need a picture that makes you think -or- you are an easily irritated, unhappy person -- go see this film." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 8/10 |
What Women Want (2000) |
"This movie provides plenty of hysterical moments." |
|
Tomato 3/4 |
What Women Want (2000) |
"boldly goes where other romantic-comedies have only flirted -- straight into the heads of women.
" |

What's The Worst That Could Happen? (2001) |
"Danny and Martin are both very talented; they just won't make you laugh much with this film.

Tomato B+ |
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"Like little Max's internal struggles, my feelings (about this film) aren't so easily understood, even to me." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
White Oleander (2002) |
"A marvelous performance by Allison Lohman as an identity-seeking foster child." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Who Killed The Electric Car? (2006) |
"This doc looks at the possible suspects in the death of the promising electric vehicle: consumers, oil companies, car manufacturers, gov. and even the Hydrogen Fuel Cell car." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Whole Nine Yards (2000) |
"A few winceable story progressions in the front and end are easily outweighed by a fine "body" of fun film in-between. I laughed out loud very often.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Whole Ten Yards (2004) |
"Though still fun, silly and occasionally very funny, the sequel falls a few inches short of 'The Whole Nine Yards.'" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Wild Hogs (2007) |
"The previews for this silly little film looked horrid, but it broke Disney box office records for March. So I saw it with my folks and heck, if we all didn't have a good time!" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Wild Safari 3D: A South African Adventure (2005) |
"If you want a more realistic safari than this, you're going to have to catch a flight (unless you live in Africa)." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Wild Wild West (1999) |
"fun, special effects, and action right up to the climax where "WWW" wanes into a "B+".
" |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Willow Tree (2005) |
"Children of Heaven won me over with its slow gentle build and big sweet heart. I was expecting more of the same with Willow Tree. Unfortunately, I was disappointed." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wimbledon (2004) |

Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Winnie the Pooh - The Tigger Movie (2000) |
"tender heartwarming climax and resolution may just choke you up a bit in the Adam's apple" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Wired to Win (2005) |
"This story marries together two seemingly distinct subjects: the Tour de France and the science of the brain. It's a marriage that seems somewhat contrived, but it works.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Without A Paddle (2004) |
"This film has probably got the best action you'll ever see in a stupid comedy. Surprisingly refreshing." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Without the King (2008) |
"Despite its lack of fair balance, the piece is absolutely compelling and makes a point that is far more universal than any one country." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Wonder Boys (2000) |
"Douglas is certainly captivating and bathrobe comfortable in his role as the grovelly, pot-toking intellectual.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Wood (1999) |
"this film's spirit and charm overwhelmingly eclipse technical pops and sputters." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
World Trade Center (2006) |
"Will & John: A fantastic story, beautiful & hope filled, one that should be told, but the set up of the film and title itself subtract from the power of the storytelling here." |
