W.
 Release: Oct 08 - Review: 30 Oct 08 
Putting the W in WMD.
...an insular, one-dimensional fairytale of a cowboy moron's rise to power, from an alcoholic tail-chaser to the bumbling, born-again dumbest president of the United States. Like W, the movie talks a lot but says nothing.

WALK HARD
 Release: Dec 07 - Review: 2 Jan 09 
Laugh Hard.
...RAY and WALK THE LINE, set the standard and simultaneously lowered the bar for musician biographies, WALK HARD takes every single cliché from those glossy turkeys and parties with a penis in your face.

THE LINE
Release: Sep 05 - Review: 5 Dec 05 
Blues for The Man
In Black.
As a movie, formulaic; as a biography,
a sordid Behind The Music episode at best.

WALL-E
Release: Jul 08 - Review: 22 Jul 08 
Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto!
...the horror of this totalitarian society might have slapped us in the BRAZIL bone was it not for the Pixar team injecting robot buffoonery at every pixel.

WAR, INC.
Release: Sep 08 - Review: 26 Mar 09
Orwell's 1984 meets W.'s 2004.

 | WAR
OF THE WORLDS
Release: Jun 05 - Review: 18 Apr 07
Spielberg and Cruise:
Reign of the Smugs.
One good thing can be said
about the alien attack in War of the Worlds - at least it achieved the
mission impossible of wiping that insufferable smirk off Tom Cruise's face.

WATCHMEN
 Release:
Mar 09 - Review: 19 Mar 09
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!
WATCHMEN is epic and sexy and bloody; sensual and visceral and brutal; more than a comicbook, more than a messianic cry of madness; flamboyant costumed heroes, a plot that shakes the world and Dr. Manhattan in full frontal ectoplasm.

WERE SOLDIERS
Release: Feb 02 - Review: 2 Sep 03
We Were Soldiers
In A Plotless Movie.
...like the Viet Nam war,
the movie drones on incessantly with half of America saluting it and the other
half protesting that it should be ended.

WHATEVER WORKS
 Release: Jun 09 - Review: 20 Nov 09
Whatever WHATEVER is, it works.
...Larry David as a crunchier Woody Allen. As the star of WHATEVER WORKS, with Allen writing and directiing, I don't know who reminds me more of who, as Allen's cynical vernacular tumbles out of David's gunmetal mouth.

NOISE
Release: Jan 05 - Review: 5 Jan 06
Shite
Noise.
Like
every other unsubstantiated and specious pseudo-science, endowing EVP with a name
that sounds like it was coined by the Professor from Gilligan's Island seems to
grant it a modicum of legitimacy.

THE WICKER MAN
Release: Dec 73 - Review: 7 Dec 09
Wicker Pedia.
...go for the public sex, go for the spurning of Christianity, go for Britt Eckland inviting you to her room by crooning an eerie Celtic paean and dancing around starkers.

TRADE CENTER
Release: Aug 06 - Review: 25 Aug 06
A Date With Density.
...though there are still
whiners puling "too soon," the audience yet extracts a rubbernecker's
glee from watching this unimaginable tragedy unfold with astoundingly seamless
special effects from a Ground Zero ringside seat.
