Tomato 3.5/4 |
W.C. Fields - 6 Short Films (1915) |
"W.C. Fields stood alone as a singular verbal wit, a caustic, muttering misanthrope whose humor was often based on misery, anger, prejudice, and conflict" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wag the Dog (1997) |
"makes the bold and cynical assertion that truth is completely unimportant--it's only what people believe to be true that matters" |
James Kendrick |

Waking Life (2001) |
"a film for anyone who has ever wondered about life, about what it means to be human, about where the division between dreams and reality really is" |

James Kendrick |

War of the Worlds (2005) |
"Spielberg has crafted a genuinely traumatic summer event movie, one that gives us images of violence and destruction of often devastating emotional weight" |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Wasp Woman (1960) |
"a campy creature feature that also has some interesting themes regarding science run amok and the fruitless human search for eternal youth (as an added bonus, the acting is pretty good, too)" |
James Kendrick |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Watcher (2000) |
"all the self-consciously hip style in the world isn't enough to compensate for an inert story that has no real destination" |
James Kendrick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Watchmen (2009) |
"manages to maintain much of the book's heady philosophical weight, albeit primarily by changing as little as possible from the source material" |

What's Eating Gilbert Grape (1993) |
"It's expertly handled, well-written material that knows and understands its many different characters. There are moments in this film that cover the entire emotional spectrum, and not a second is wasted on insincere emotion, making it a real winner." |
