Winnie the Pooh (2011, 69 min., G)

Disney returns to Hundred Acre Wood with this animated effort.

The Winslow Boy (1999, 110 min., G)

What's this? A Mamet film without the usual incendiary peppering of ricocheting epithets? A period costume drama? A G rating? Heaven forfend. Despite the unusual nature of The Winslow Boy and the shocking absence of the ...

The Winter Guest (1997, 110 min., R)

Sometimes the coldest season exhibits an austere beauty -- trees stretching bony limbs toward a somber sky the shade of lead, landscapes leeched of color, revealing sharp edges everywhere -- but it can be awfully tough ...

Winter in Wartime (2008, 103 min., R)

This coming-of-age story is set in the Dutch countryside during the Nazi-occupied winter of 1944-1945.

Winter Sleepers (1997, 124 min., NR)

German director Twyker, who last year made his stateside splash with the audacious, invigorating Run Lola Run, made this chilly little number first, and it's painfully clear that Winter Sleepers is getting its U.S. theatrical release ...

Winter Solstice (2005, 89 min., R)

Neither a change of seasons nor truly wonderful performances can breathe life into the dismally enervated drama Winter Solstice.

Winter's Bone (2010, 100 min., R)

Set in the Ozark Mountain backwoods of Missouri, this tense drama is an exceptionally good film.

Wirey Spindell (2000, 101 min., NR)

Wirey Spindell is the name of a character who is a thinly veiled fictional representation of the real-life writer-director Eric Schaeffer. Wirey Spindell is also played by Eric Schaeffer. If you're beginning to think that Eric ...

Wisecracks (1992)

Known for her sociopolitical documentaries Loved, Honoured Bruised and Abortion Stories North and South, Canadian filmmaker Gail Singer takes a lighter turn to concentrate on the current proliferation of female stand-up comics in Wisecracks. Intercut with ...

With a Friend Like Harry ... (2000, 117 min., R)

Tasty psychological thriller from France (by way of Hitchcock).

With Honors (1994)

If you listen hard enough, you can just hear the pitch: “Four college kids, at, um, at Yale…” / “Harvard.” / “Harvard, right. Anyway, four twentysomethings, self-involved, the best and the brightest, but, um…” / “Directionless?” ...

Without a Paddle (2004, 99 min., PG-13)

This yuck-fest gets its jokes from men's fear of homosexuality and impotence.

Without Limits (1998, 118 min., PG-13)

Winning a race was not a matter of strategy to Steve Prefontaine: It was a matter of sheer willpower. Always the front-runner, he believed that he had to constantly push himself full throttle; to do less ...

Wittgenstein (1993, 75 min., NR)

In his highly stylized fashion, Derek Jarman explores the mind of the 20th century Viennese philosopher.

WMD: Weapons of Mass Deception (2004, 98 min., NR)

"News dissector" Danny Schechter examines the media's complicity in promoting the war on terrorism.

Wolf (1994)

A werewolf movie for the Nineties. Nicholson is Will Randall, a New York book editor who strikes a wolf one night while traveling through Vermont. When he leaves his car to check on the animal, it ...

Wolf Creek (2005, 99 min., NR)

Wolf Creek is an accomplished Aussie version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre; it's also a viscerally told slasher film that manages to do an awful lot with very little.

The Wolfman (2010, 102 min., R)

This monster reboot disappoints terribly, making up in blood and entrails what it lacks in heart and soul.

A Woman, a Gun and a Noodle Shop (2010, 95 min., R)

Surprisingly, Zhang Yimou's Chinese remake of the Coen brothers' debut film, Blood Simple, winds up something of a limp noodle.

The Woman Chaser (1999, 87 min., R)

Some films are so far from left field that you end up with a crick in your neck for a week after watching them. The Woman Chaser falls (plummets, actually) squarely in that category, a rousingly ...

A Woman in Berlin (2008, 131 min., NR)

This is that rarest of wartime dramas: an intimate, sorrowful glimpse into the heart and loins of the hellish aftermath of war when sex is used as a weapon.

The Woman in Black (2012, 96 min., PG-13)

Daniel Radcliffe jumps from Hogwarts to this movie's haunted mansion where he stars as a young widower under siege from a malevolent ghost.

Woman on Top (2000, 93 min., R)

Speaking as one whose culinary skills have played a key role in many of the “entries” in my personal book o' love, I've always been favorably disposed toward films that explore the sensual harmonics between kitchen ...

Woman Thou Art Loosed (2004, 94 min., R)

Based on a novel by Bishop T.D. Jakes, a black evangelical preacher and author who also co-stars, this unusual film is part revivalist sermon, part narrative drama, and wholly urgent and engaging.

A Woman's Tale (1991)

Written specifically for lead Sheila Florance, this new film from Paul Cox (Vincent, Golden Braid) is a semi-autobiographical account of the last days in the life of Martha, a withered, elderly woman who nevertheless maintains a ...

Women From the Lake of Scented Souls (1993)

There seem to be two distinct types of films coming out of post-Cultural Revolution China these days: quasi-erotic tales of concubines and love gone awry (Raise the Red Lantern, Farewell My Concubine) and stories of hardship, ...

The Women on the 6th Floor (2011, 104 min., NR)

This light comedy from France is pure bourgeois fantasy, but it's a genial fantasy nevertheless.

Women Without Men (2010, 99 min., NR)

Although this film set in 1953 Iran is visually compelling, its story about four different women is slight and emblematic.

The Women (2008, 114 min., PG-13)

This remake of the 1939 George Cukor film isn't particularly fun or funny.

Wonder Seven (1994, 90 min., NR)

Ching, who directed parts two and three of the Swordsman trilogy and produced all three Chinese Ghost Story films, does an abrupt about-face with this above-average Hong Kong actioner that relies more heavily on trillions of ...
