[movie review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      Waiting for Happiness (2003)      "Abderrahmane Sissako's Heremakono (Waiting for Happiness) is an elegiac portrait of a transit city on the West African coast struggling against foreign influences." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       50/100      The Waiting Game (2000)      "The kind of film that works better on the small screen than in theatres." [movie review]      Apollo Guide       2/4      Waitress (2007)      "Comedy and tragedy exist side-by-side in this drab little film, suggesting an SNL alum's reinterpretation of the TV show Alice." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       4/4      Waking Life (2001)      "Whether it's a product of stoic contemplation or reefer madness, Linklater's waking life becomes an elusive, one-way vehicle to God." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Waking Life (2001)      "Both crucial and kind of demystifying, this awesome Waking Life DVD package exposes the technical brouhaha behind Linklater's magical concept art." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Walk on Water (2005)      "In Eytan Fox’s Walk on Water, the Sea of Galilee is paved with good intentions." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            A Walk to Remember (2002)      "For that special Christian in your life who's still trapped in the 1950s." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      A Walk to Remember (2002)      "As camp and sermon, the film is shamelessly undercooked." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       4/4      Walkabout (1971)      "An innocent family picnic turns existential in Nicolas Roeg's brilliant Walkabout." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Walking Tall (2004)      "The Rock beats the **** out of everything but says “no” to drugs, and as such his core fan base may have a problem adding the film to their permanent collection." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            Walking to Werner (2007)      "Phillips's trip begins as an attention-grabbing show of devotion but transforms into a many-sided experiment in empathy." [movie review]      Village Voice       3/4      WALL-E (2008)      "WALL-E goes beyond inviting comparisons to E.T., Number 5, R2D2, even Chaplin's Little Tramp--the Waste Allocation Load Lifter relies on them, for writer-director Andrew Stanton understands this robot janitor as a study in memory and inheritance." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      War Dance (2007)      "Filmmakers Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine continue the Hollywood insult of looking at Africa as if it were a high-fashion runway." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      Warm Water Under a Red Bridge (2001)      "A delirious celebration of the female orgasm." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      The Warrior (2005)      "I much prefer the full-throated passion of The Gate of the Sun, but it's to the film's credit that it's able to say so much with very little words." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Warriors of Heaven and Earth (2004)      "Despite the breathtaking locales, Warriors of Heaven and Earth is impossibly cheesy." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      The Wash (2001)      "This ain't no Friday; in fact, you'd be wasting a perfectly good high on it." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Washington Heights (2003)      "Despite its little imperfections, Washington Heights exists to make the Miguel Piñeros of the world proud." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Wassup Rockers (2006)      "Go home Larry Clark." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Wassup Rockers (2006)      "Clark's portrait of mostly Salvadorian boys who shirk hip-hop and guns for punk and skateboards is fashioned around a series of alternately cutesy and shrill sexually-charged sketches." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      The Way We Laughed (2001)      "For added high drama, trains leave tracks right before cold ginger ale bottles can exchange hands." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Way We Laughed (2001)      "Gianni Amelio fans can thank the success of Trembling Before G-d and Stone Reader for the release of The Way We Laughed on DVD." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      Waydowntown (2002)      "Burns' comic sensibility is patently absurd but his message is pathologically frightening." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)      "Ignore We Don’t Live Here Anymore’s literary pretence and focus on its truly remarkable performances." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      We Were Soldiers (2002)      "Wallace continues to render humanity via simple-minded, Asians-have-girlfriends-too philosophy." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Weather Man (2005)      "Strictly for fans of Sprint commercials." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            Wedding Crashers (2005)      "The chance to see a new, eight-plus-minute version of the film should be enough incentive for fans of the film to purchase this DVD." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       1/4      The Wedding Date (2005)      "Some films are ripped from the headlines, others are ripped from the pages of Cosmopolitan." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      The Weeping Meadow (2004)      "A work of Olympian aloofness." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      The Weight of Water (2002)      "In the end, The Weight of Water comes to resemble the kind of soft-core twaddle you'd expect to see on Showtime's 'Red Shoe Diaries.'" [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      The Welts (2004)      "Like the overpraised Affliction, it strains to trace the sins of the father in the sins the son." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Wendigo (2002)      "Fessenden's narrative is just as much about the ownership and redefinition of myth as it is about a domestic unit finding their way to joy." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Wendy and Lucy (2008)      "As in Old Joy, Wendy and Lucy's calculated understatement is at once instrumental to its bliss and damnation." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            Werckmeister Harmonies (2001)      "Facets Video has allowed their staff of pigeons to poop on Bela Tarr's film monument. Still, Region 1 audiences will have to make do until a Criterion-like dove comes to their rescue." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       4/4      Werckmeister Harmonies (2001)      "Tarr's precise yet effortless command for the long take is so transcendent it suggests the presence of God." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Were the World Mine (2008)      "The material has been playfully updated, made into a parable of gay desire and wish fulfillment, but its significance remains the same, right down to Timothy's understanding that free will must ultimately be restored." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      Whale Rider (2003)      "Caro seems less concerned with evoking the economic or socio-political baggage bringing the film’s characters down than she is with telling the same sappy tale of patriarchal perseverance we’ve seen so many times before." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Whale Rider (2003)      "Looks good but smells cheesy." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      What Happens in Vegas (2008)      "The film gives a transparent spin to the saying that whatever happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but Diaz and Kutcher bring a surprising sweetness to their generic roles and the story's contrived situations." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            What Is It? (2006)      "The film, for all of its very explicit connections to other works, is still a thing of unique madness." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      What Lies Beneath (2000)      "Pfeiffer almost single-handedly lifts the picture above mediocrity." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       4/4      What Time Is It There? (2002)      "Tsai Ming-liang's ghosts are painfully aware of their not-being." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       2.5/4      What To Do In Case of Fire? (2002)      "Schnitzler does a fine job contrasting the sleekness of the film's present with the playful paranoia of the film's past." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Wheel of Time (2005)      "Herzog recognizes the gravity of his material here, and as such conducts a considerably lighter trek." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            When a Stranger Calls (2006)      "Well, what did your parents tell you about talking to strangers?" [dvd review]      Slant Magazine            When Will I Be Loved (2004)      "Jeffrey Lyons may be quoted on the front cover, but a real critic (ahem) is quoted on the back." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      When Will I Be Loved (2004)      "Maybe it’s the rich milieu, or perhaps it’s Toback’s obsession with sex and money, but there’s something distinctly “French” about the film’s vernacular." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       1.5/4      Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)      "Spurlock gives currency to the stereotype of the self-absorbed, globetrotting Ugly American." [movie review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Where the Wild Things Are (2009)      "Max's dilemma and emotions are distilled to their essence, so the way his real-life suffering informs his dreamscapes becomes unmistakable." [movie review]      Slant Magazine
