"W"
These are the movies that begin with the letter "W".
WAG THE DOG (1997)
Rating: ****
"A deliciously clever, well-written, and well-acted political satire."
WALKING ACROSS EGYPT (1999)
Rating: ***
"Its charm is its winning factor. And Mark Hamill, too."
WAYNE'S WORLD (1992)
Rating: ***1/2
"An hilarious spoof from Saturday Night Live's glory days."
WAYNE'S WORLD 2 (1993)
Rating: ***
"The kung-fu scene. That statement speaks for itself."
WE WERE SOLDIERS (2002)
Rating: ***1/2
"Epic and heartbreaking."
WEDDING PLANNER, THE (2001)
Rating: *1/2
"This lame romantic comedy actually starts out fairly well and funny, but once goofy, overly sweet, and annoying Matthew McConaughey comes into the picture to romance fair wedding planner Jennifer Lopez, everything falls apart. After the first twenty minutes, there's not a single laugh to be had."
WEDDING SINGER, THE (1998)
Rating: ***
"It's corny and predictable, but it's also very, very charming."
WENDIGO (2001)
Rating: ***
"This visually inventive and very, er, strange mix of isolated horror, family drama, and all-around weirdness has incredible direction and fine acting. Not for all tastes, but those with open minds and an appreciation for quality filmmaking should find something to enjoy."
WESTWORLD (1973)
Rating: ***1/2
"This brilliant and chilling science fiction thriller obviously was the blue print for screenwriter Michael Crichton's later novel/movie, Jurassic Park, and is almost as good. One thing is for sure: The west will never be the same after the terrifying Yul Brynner has his way with it."
WHAT LIES BENEATH (2000)
Rating: **1/2
"Spooky and atmospheric, and horrifyingly hard to see."
WHAT WOMEN WANT (2000)
Rating: **
"Probably not what anyone wants."
WHAT'S UP, TIGER LILY? (1966)
Rating: **1/2
"An hilarious idea, but it gets a little old."
WHEN HARRY MET SALLY... (1989)
Rating: ****
"A romantic opus of classy sex jokes, great comedic acting, and, believe it or not, actual love! That, in a movie like this, is the rarest of rarities. This has got to be the best romantic comedy I've seen."
WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988)
Rating: ***1/2
"Robert Zemeckis, hitmaker that he is, pumped out this crazy, genuinely brilliant melding of live-action and animation. Who should watch this movie? Everyone! By the way, keep an eye out for cameos by some of the biggest cartoon stars in history!"
WHY ME? (1984)
Rating: **1/2
"It's sappy, yes, but what can you expect from a made-for-TV, true-to-life, sob story? Actually fairly entertaining and solid."
WILD THORNBERRYS MOVIE, THE (2002)
Rating: **1/2
"It's enjoyable, yes, but the show doesn't seem to work as well beyond the confines of its regular 30-minute length."
WILD WILD WEST, THE (1999)
Rating: **
"Its one redeeming value is that it's got dead-on casting. Other than that, this is one wild movie that shouldn't have been tamed."
WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971)
Rating: **
"Quite a disappointing and corny adaptation of a great, fun book."
WITNESS (1985)
Rating: ***1/2
"A clash of cultures results in a remarkably gripping and classic thriller!"
WIZARD, THE (1989)
Rating: **
"It has a few charming elements, and seems very promising. But unfortunately, this is one of those films that doesn't age well. At all."
WIZARD OF OZ, THE (1939)
Rating: **
"Yeah, yeah, it's innovative, so what? I still don't wanna watch annoying little Munchkins hop around and sing."
WOLF MAN, THE (1941)
Rating: ***1/2
"This brilliant film began the popularity of big screen werewolves, and it works on multiple levels: As an all-around fine story, an intriguing romance, and an eerie, atmospheric horror movie. Absolutely excellent make-up on Lon Chaney, Jr., as the title lycanthrope, is one of the many highlights of this chilling milestone."
WRONG TURN (2003)
Rating: *
"It just pains me to see talented people, Eliza Dushku in this case, in awful movies. In this case, it's a laughably melodramatic and convoluted horror film that took a wrong turn as soon as an executive approved it."
