W. (2008) |
"Oliver Stone has a terrible sense of timing. This is a film that has been overtaken by events and already seems out of date." |
Geoffrey Macnab |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Wackness (2008) |
"The film's forlorn charm is a little reminiscent of Cameron Crowe's adolescent memoir Almost Famous. It's a tiny bit soppy, too, but you can forgive that in a teenager." |

The Walker (2007) |
"The Walker might have meant something, but it tails off into vagueness." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 4/5 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"Praise Pixar for trying to raise the stakes, but the longer the film goes on the more one appreciates the impact of that amazing first half-hour." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 5/5 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"This might be Plasticine's finest hour." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
Watchmen (2009) |
"Dark arterial blood pools across pavements and leaks under doorways, as though to chasten us. Unfortunately, after two and half hours of this sanguinary spectacle it wasn't catharsis I felt; it was simple weariness." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
Waveriders (2009) |
"However much you admire the daring of these young surfers, you soon realise that listening to them yarn on about the sport can become very, very boring." |
Anthony Quinn |

The Wayward Cloud (2007) |
"Features the most explicit use of a watermelon ever filmed." |

We Own The Night (2007) |
"A sombre, intelligent, feeling crime drama set in a working-class New York characterised by striving and shabbiness." |
Robert Hanks |
Splat 1/5 |
Weirdsville (2007) |
"It's wacky, it's zany, it's loopy, it's freaky, it's daffy – but alas, not the most important one, which is "funny"." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
Wendy and Lucy (2008) |
"Williams, with pageboy haircut and a martyrishly sad face, is quite lovely as this lost soul, while writer-director Kelly Reichardt catches something poignant in the windblown spaces of the American north-west." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
What Just Happened (2008) |
"Levinson keeps the pace sharp, and at moments you get an acute sense of the crushing weight of ego and money." |
Robert Hanks |
Splat 2/5 |
When a Stranger Calls (2006) |
"I can't help feeling that this updating could have been a little more imaginative -- the only wrinkle on the basic plot is that it uses mobile phones." |
Robert Hanks |
Tomato 3/5 |
When a Woman Ascends the Stairs (1960) |
"It's also elegantly shot and scored; all that's missing is a touch of humour." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 4/5 |
When Did You Last See Your Father? (2008) |
"It's a great song of innocence and embarrassment, with a lively, gregarious performance at its centre by Jim Broadbent as Arthur and a quieter but no less effective one by debutant Beard." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 1/5 |
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"I have no idea what Jonze and Eggers are trying to say here, either to children or to adults, but it's difficult to imagine how they could have made a more tedious and exasperating attempt at it." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 4/5 |
The White Ribbon (2009) |
"This cool-headed, watchful film simply invites us to observe, to imagine, to make up our own minds. That's another way of saying it treats its audience as grown-ups." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
Whiteout (2009) |
"Apart from a lascivious shot of his scantily clad star, director Dominic Sena keeps the action fairly swift under blizzard-like conditions: at times we seem to be watching people fight inside a snow globe." |
Anthony Quinn |

The Wicker Man (1973) |
"The tension occasionally goes slack, but hardly anything surpasses that clifftop finale for freakish terror." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
The Wild Blue Yonder: A Science Fiction Fantasy (2006) |
"Herzog remains a one-off in German cinema - eccentric, infuriating, cherishable - and nothing in this will detract from his legend." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 1/5 |
Wild Child (2009) |
"On balance, gouging one's eyeballs with a chopstick would be more fun than watching this crummy tween comedy about a Californian princess." |

The Women (2008) |
"It's so flat and unfunny it makes Sex and the City sound like Billy Wilder." |

The World Unseen (2008) |
"This tale of forbidden love in the early days of apartheid South Africa suffers from heavy-handed direction and stodgy exposition, but it is made tolerable by its two central performances." |
Anthony Quinn |

The Wrestler (2008) |
"The characters may be stereotypes to us, but they're played here with a love and tenderness and resignation that could break your heart." |
