Waist Deep (2006)

"A solidly crafted piece of genre filmmaking."

Waking Life (2001)

"Like My Dinner with Andre and other appallingly smart movies, this one reminded me that I need to read more books and watch less television."

Walk the Line (2005)

"Walk the Line has plenty of chemicals, but very little chemistry between its stars."

War Dance (2007)

"The perfect antidote to compassion fatigue."

Water (2006)

"Water runs deep because Mehta is an able -- if somewhat gloomy -- storyteller."

The Way of the Gun (2000)

"McQuarrie repeatedly demonstrates that there is no genre convention that can't be reinvented and turned into a virtue if the writing is good enough."

Wedding Crashers (2005)

"Vaughn, Owen and McAdams form a perfect three-way union."

Welcome to Mooseport (2004)

"Tepid comedy."

What Women Want (2000)

"It introduces us to a kinder, gentler Mel who's not only in touch with his feminine side, but who also widens his fan base considerably in the bargain."

When the Levees Broke (2006)

"Do the flaws diminish Levees? To a degree. But the story Lee tells is so powerful, so important, that the lapses aren't a reason not to pay heed to what this passionate film has to say."

Where the Heart Is (2000)

"A veritable ventricular chamber orchestra of emotional manipulations and easy virtues."

White Chicks (2004)

"Much of what passes for humor in White Chicks derives from such charming plot devices as the lactose intolerance of one of the brothers."

White Rainbow (2005)

"Intended as an empowerment fantasy in a world where fantasy is the last thing that's needed."

The Whole Nine Yards (2000)

"The Whole Nine Yards is a ragtag affair enlivened considerably by Willis' easygoing manner."

Why We Fight (2006)

"There is plenty here that should worry members of both political parties."

Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself (2004)

"It starts as a black comedy about suicide along the lines of Harold and Maude, then softens into a well-meant but sentimental piece about terminal illness."

Wild Wild West (1999)

"A mountain of bad writing, a confusing plot, atrocious jokes and surprisingly bad special effects."

Windtalkers (2002)

"Despite the movie's overly simplistic view of the bigotry the Navajos faced in the military ... Windtalkers speaks of a love between men who have come to a place willing to die together."

Without A Paddle (2004)

"It's not that good, but it could be a whole lot worse."

Woman on Top (2000)

"A succession of Cruz close-ups -- as striking as they may be -- do not a feature make. One also could use a plot, a soupon of conflict and a heroine with more substance than an inflatable doll."

Wonderland (2003)

"The film reveals no great truths about human nature or drug abuse, the dialogue is witless, the acting unconstrained."

The World Is Not Enough (1999)

"The most satisfying Bond movie in a very long time."

Wrong Turn (2003)

"Schmidt makes us flinch the old-fashioned way -- by giving us a box seat to the unspeakable."
