W. (2008) |
"Oliver Stone's take on Bush could be spot-on, or it could just be armchair analysis. All I know is that I was heavily involved in his vision. This is great, ambitious filmmaking from a director who is not afraid to delve inside his subjects." |

Waiting for Dublin (2009) |
"The plot isn't entirely successful in achieving the farcical tone it aims for." |

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"This one pokes some fun at the conventions of the musical biopic genre instead of just replicating famous scenes from other films, and that's a much more satisfying way to go because it actually has a perspective on the topic." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Walk the Line (2005) |
"These two characters - who seem like polar opposites on the surface -come together to create a great American love story." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Walking Tall (2004) |
"The reason I can’t recommend Walking Tall is that it fundamentally lacks a sense of outrage." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 4/4 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"I think Wall-E is a masterpiece. The folks at Pixar never rest on their laurels. They continue to push the limits of both computer animation and the storytelling possibilities that accompany it." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"Satisfying family entertainment that will please fans and newbies alike." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wanted (2008) |
"Periodically you see a film that is so jacked up on adrenaline that the audience gets a palpable contact high. Wanted fits squarely into this category." |
Mike McGranaghan |

War (2007) |
"Not exactly the Jet Li/Jason Statham battle royale we had been promised." |

War of the Worlds (2005) |
"My recommendation is tempered by the fact that this started off as a great movie and ended as little more than a piece of pleasant fluff." |

Watchmen (2009) |
"The film has a stunning look, abundant intelligence, and a blessed retention of most of the ideas that made the graphic novel a classic in its genre. Watchmen gave me a big old nerd-gasm." |

Watchmen - Tales of the Black Freighter & Under the Hood (2009) |
"I really loved the Watchmen film, and this DVD (as well as the Complete Motion Comic DVD) make for a really wonderful way to experience this extraordinary world." |

Watchmen: The Complete Motion Comic (2009) |
"Regardless of how the live-action movie turns out, this DVD may actually be the definitive screen version of the story." |

We Are Marshall (2006) |
"We Are Marshall is not a bad movie; it is a potentially nice, familiar movie unfortunately marred by the unspeakably awful performance of Matthew McConaughey." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
We Were Soldiers (2002) |
"For a movie that is based on a true story, We Were Soldiers has a lot of war movie cliches." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wedding Crashers (2005) |
"Raunchy humor is easy to do but hard to do well; this film creates characters we believe in and care about, then adds the raunchiness on top. It gets the formula just right." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Wedding Planner (2001) |
"This is exactly the kind of movie that thinks it's funny for someone to be demolished by a speeding dumpster." |

What Happens in Vegas (2008) |
"Ultimately, What Happens in Vegas resembles a drunken night in Sin City; when it's over, you don't really remember what happened except that it wasn't good." |

When a Stranger Calls (2006) |
"Not as bad as it could have been, but still a great concept with no actual substance, few scares, and lots of cliches." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
When Brendan Met Trudy (2001) |
"About 15 minutes into the picture, the story takes a sharp left turn, never to return to normality. Having the rug pulled out from under you has rarely been so much fun." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 4/4 |
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"A work of genuine imagination and intelligence that doesn't try to ram the same old feel-good platitudes down our collective throat." |

White Noise (2005) |
"How pathetic is it that the coming attractions trailer is about a hundred times more eerie than the movie itself?" |

Whiteout (2009) |
"It has a great cast, an original thriller setting, and a compelling concept, and yet the central mystery is surprisingly limp." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Wild Hogs (2007) |
"I firmly believe that if the actors in a movie are having a good time, that sense of fun can potentially come off the screen and infect the audience. Wild Hogs, for me, was this kind of movie." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Wild Things (1998) |
"The movie is a lot like a jigsaw puzzle in which all the pieces fit, but you don't know exactly what you're looking at until the very last piece is in place." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Wild Wild West (1999) |
"This is exactly the right kind of movie fun for a scorching hot summer day when your brain is too tired to think and will settle for being amused." |
Mike McGranaghan |

Willard (2003) |
"Crispin Glover as the king of the rats? I’m not sure I’d want to see Willard twice, but that’s entertainment to me at least once." |

Wimbledon (2004) |
"Although the story may look by-the-numbers, it makes some interesting detours in its characterization." |

Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004) |
"It’s about our obsessions with the things we want but can’t have: glamorous mates, simplified lives, or the cute blonde girl working the register in aisle five." |

"The Women is not perfect, and the best way to enjoy it is as a showcase for some of the top female acting talent of the day." |
