[movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Waking Life (2001)      "The trick to flying, the late Douglas Adams suggested, is to fall but to miss the ground." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Walk on Water (2005)      "Half a gem with its legs cut out from under it by its desire to have its cake and eat it, too." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Walk the Line (2005)      "A biography of an iconoclast whose life is an exact simulacrum of every other iconoclast's life." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      A Walk to Remember (2002)      "If you don't know every single plot point and twist after the first twenty minutes, you've done the sensible thing and left after the first ten." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Walking Tall (2004)      "Only exhilarating if you're at such a low point in the human scale of existence that the exploits of a wrestler playing an insane cop speaks to some deep well of disquiet." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      WALL-E (2008)      "A work of art expressing that the products of our hands can hold, if we look well and deeply, the secrets to our own salvation." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)      "Only disappoints with its lack of resonance, though in all fairness, a cleverly-animated cloud-bust is all the pair ever really promised." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Wanted (2008)      "Then there's ADD megatard Timur Bekmabetov's deeply stupid Wanted, coming along to confirm that his deeply stupid Night Watch and Day Watch were no accident" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The War of the Roses (1989)      "A sharply observed look at how optimism turns to dread, the dangers of possession, and a coda for a decade too often guilty of all of the above." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The War of the Worlds (1953)      "peculiarly fifties-bound" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      War of the Worlds (2005)      "Spielberg is the only one who can mess up a Spielberg film." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      War Photographer (2002)      "Uplifting as only a document of the worst possibilities of mankind can be, and among the best films of the year." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The War Within (2005)      "The very model of the self-hating liberal consciousness; no matter his better intentions, he finds himself blaming the victim for the crime." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      WarGames (1983)      "What works best about it works still: it's a paranoid film with an ambiguous ending." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Warriors (1979)      "Yeah, it's really good." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Wash (2001)      "The Wash is Santo & Johnny through a swamp of mounting disinterest." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Watcher in the Woods (1980)      "A movie about how a camera presents a point of view and of how that point of view, if it's not attached to a specific identity, can become menacingly voyeuristic." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Watchers (1988)      "Arguably, though, the film is worth it for the sight of Haim getting stabbed in the leg and screaming like Demi Moore: you can't script time capsule stuff like that." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Watchers 2 (1990)      "A joyless exercise." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Watchmen (2009)      "a movie made by Dr. Manhattan; it should've been made by Rorschach." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Watership Down (1978)      "Unsentimental and terrifying." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Waterworld (1995)      "actually pretty good" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Waxwork (1988)      "Just sort of lays there for long stretches like a dead weasel." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Waxwork 2 - Lost in Time (1991)      "Gore = low; nudity = nil; Alexander Godunov receiving second-billing = first warning." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      We Own The Night (2007)      "An obviously talented director relying on an obviously limited screenwriter/scenarist." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      We Were Soldiers (2002)      "The road to hell is paved with the abandonment of our best ideals to the intoxicating call of manifest bloodlust." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Weather Man (2005)      "Over-writing at its most obvious and patronizing." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Weather Underground (2003)      "Bob Dylan said that you didn't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blew. He's still right." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Wedding Crashers (2005)      "The key word is "waste."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Wedding Date (2005)      "Focus-grouped to such a precise dot that everyone in the audience will not only be able to name each brand of luggage the characters use, but will do so with joy and pride." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Weight of Water (2002)      "Slicked-up jazzy lit-porn: all nice-looking people in various stages of excitement in the room coming and going and talking of Michelangelo." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Welcome to Mooseport (2004)      "Romano's a small-screen vampire, and 35mm is his sunlight. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Wendigo (2002)      "(Wendigo is) why we go to the cinema: to be fed through the eye, the heart, the mind." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Wendy and Lucy (2008)      "grim to the point of tedium" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      West Side Story (1961)      "Technically faultless and a surprisingly pointed introduction to the "medium cool" films of the 1960's." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Wet Asphalt (1958)      "Relentlessly ridiculous." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Whale Rider (2003)      "There is an indescribable power to the film that springs from firelight--what we've lost in modernity as orphans to our collective past." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      What a Girl Wants (2003)      "The sort of thing that people mean when they refer to the steady decline of our culture." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      What Alice Found (2003)      "Heavy with self-importance and dolphin symbolism." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      What Happens in Vegas (2008)      "a funny movie about the sexes that doesn't diminish either gender in its execution--a tougher task, obviously, than one would presume." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      When a Stranger Calls (2006)      "Films like this are more sad than anything else." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      When Dinosaurs Roamed America (2001)      "A high-tech bit of necromancy, When Dinosaurs Roamed America is consistently fascinating" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      When Good Ghouls Go Bad (2001)      "wilfully cheesy, derivative bit of pre-pubescent camp schlock that isn't dark enough to be frightening yet too dark to be enjoyable." [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Where the Wild Things Are (2009)      "the rare work of art in any media that actually evokes the experience of sadness, the sensation of melancholy, the mechanism of regret. We're lucky to have it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Which Way is Up? (1977)      "An embarrassing Being There conceit married to blaxploitation and unionization." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Whisper Of The Heart (1995)      "Shame how John Denver appears at regular intervals to remind us of how peculiar a beast cultural diffusion can be." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      White Countess (2005)      "Enacted by stuffy actors so great at what they do that it's terrifically boring to watch them do it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      White Oleander (2002)      "A broad, melodramatic estrogen opera that's pretty toxic in its own right." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Who is Cletis Tout? (2002)      "de Rossi's inability to handle a two-wheeler stands in as a peculiarly pithy commentary on the rest of the film: unwieldy, incomprehensibly inept, embarrassing, and pointless." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
