W. (2008) |
""W." begs for a "W.-2, the sequel" at a later time when the treatment can be far bolder in revealing the psychology, the history and the man's effect on our country." |

The Wackness (2008) |
"We've been in this neighborhood before--just not with Peck and Thirlby and an amped up secondary character." |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 2/5 |
Wake (2004) |
"A sour piece of work without a stitch of humor, taking itself too seriously... dramatic aspirations dead on arrival." |
Jules Brenner |

Waking Life (2001) |
"See it if any of this sounds appealing but don't say you attended unwarned." |

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"The pugnacious John C. is gifted and knows no bounds. Walking hard, for him... effortless." |
Jules Brenner |

Walk the Line (2005) |
"I can no longer ask, "why doesn't some daring soul do a bio of a country singer?" For the moment, I'm satisfied, and relieved." |

Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Watchmen (2009) |

Water (2006) |
"Though it's a story told with feminist sensitivity, it's also the most relevant perspective for such injustice to women." |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Water Lilies (2007) |
"For all its virtues as a coming-of-age study, it's too slow, too single dimensional to create much of a stir beyond arthouse and hothouse interest. The close-ups of Acquart's classic beauty are well worth the screen time, however." |

The Wedding Date (2005) |
"With La Debra finally in the picture, all I can say is, "give us more Messing." Our first date might have been a dud but I'm willing to go out again." |

What Doesn't Kill You (2008) |
"The film is caught in the tension between wanting to provide depth of social implication and gunplay action but the symbiosis doesn't multiply the effect." |

What Just Happened (2008) |
"The draw, for fan mag stalwarts, behind-the-scenes aficionados and the film-passionate is this A-list cast delivering a few chuckle-worthy self-stereotypes." |

Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"The emotionality that is aspired to doesn't rise to the occasion and leaves you as deprived of dramatic nourishment as the poor boy who went to bed without his supper." |

White Countess (2005) |
"Fiennes' wearisome verbal affectation suggests an emulation of Franklyn Delano Roosevelt in a sound byte for Pathe' news." |

Who Killed The Electric Car? (2006) |

The Whole Ten Yards (2004) |
"At the end of this takeoff on the bumbling hitman-gangster formula, Matthew
Perry keeps repeating how confused he's been because he wasn't let in on The
Plan. Who was?" |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Whore's Son (2006) |
"Being in the company of Usein's and Lisnic's slow-minded, one-note character for most of the movie, we're strained to develop the sympathy level that would make for a touching or perceptive study." |
Jules Brenner |

Wilbur Wants to Kill Himself (2004) |
"You wouldn't think a romantic comedy so permeated with the theme of death could produce the laughs, but they pepper the craftily balanced issues of love and survival." |
