Diana Saenger |
Tomato |
S1m0ne (2002) |
"A smart and humorous comedy." |
Diana Saenger |
Splat |
Saawariya (2007) |
"'Saawariya' ends up being a fairly frustrating odyssey, but I admire its dreamlike atmosphere, catchy tunes and jaw-droppingly beautiful women." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato 6/10 |
Saawariya (2007) |
"A breezy and passably entertaining major Indian musical, the first to be released by a major Hollywood studio." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sahara (2005) |
"Yes, Sahara is a big-budgeted slice of cheese, alright, but it knows when to take itself seriously and when to go nuts." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Saint Ralph (2005) |
"Captures the feel of a relatively uncomplicated era and draws us into another impossible dream." |
Donald J. Levit |
Splat |
Salton Sea (2002) |
"By getting myself wrapped up in the visuals and eccentricities of many of the characters, I found myself confused when it came time to get to the heart of the movie." |
Ryan Cracknell |
Tomato |
Samaritan Girl (2004) |
"An odd but unassuming story about the search for redemption, 'Samaritan Girl' hits as close to the heart as a film can." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |
"Visually, 'Santa Clause 2' is wondrously creative." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) |
"Despite Martin Short's highly entertaining turn as Jack Frost, this second sequel lacks the charm of the first two 'Santa Clause' movies." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Saraband (2005) |
"This is 'Scenes from a Marriage' thirty years later." |
Donald J. Levit |
Splat |
Sarah Landon and the Paranormal Hour (2007) |
"It's too family-friendly and ends up being bland and flavorless instead of sending even the mildest shiver down your spine." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"Wit has been sacrificed for the sake of Silverman saying as much dirty material as she can in 70 minutes -- and without much heart or humor behind it.
" |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Satin Rouge (2002) |
"A celebration of unintellectualized joy and the discovery of life." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Savage Grace (2008) |
"Although we feel distanced from the characters in 'Savage Grace,' it's still a powerful and disturbing film." |
Joanne Ross |
Tomato |
The Savages (2007) |
"While exploring the frustrations of middle-aged siblings dealing with an ailing father, 'The Savages' also spotlights moments of humor, warmth and tenderness." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
Save Me (2007) |
"Too much of the film involves set pieces of two characters' awkward dialogue or a single one's halting monologue-confession about life problems." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Save the Last Dance 2 (2006) |
"'Save the Last Dance 2' is a surprisingly entertaining sequel." |
Geoff Roberts |
Splat |
Saw (2004) |
"Too many twists, turns, false solutions, implausibilities and impossibilities." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Saw II (2005) |
"'Saw II' works brilliantly, both as a sequel and a stand-alone creepfest." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato |
Saw III (2006) |
"'Saw III' comes packed with a cold-blooded vibe that doesn't let up. After three movies, Jigsaw's blades haven't dulled very much at all." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Saw IV (2007) |
"Even as part of a horror franchise famous for its blood-soaked, sleight-of-hand storytelling, 'Saw IV' is a mighty big stretch." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Saw V (2008) |
"'Saw V' emerges as merely a passable horror movie, freaky enough to get by but a far cry from the jaw-dropping start of the series." |
A. J. Hakari |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saw VI (2009) |
"By connecting its central themes to one of today's most hot-button issues, Saw VI brings more relevance to the franchise than it's seen in ages." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Say It Isn't So (2001) |
"First-time director J. B. Rogers and new screenwriters Peter Gualke and Jerry Swallow appear determined to include as many gross-out scenes as possible at the expense of telling a believable story." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
Scarface (1983) |
"Pacino's over-the-top acting here makes Tony Montana seem more like a cartoon character than a sinister gangster." |
Geoff Roberts |
Splat |
Scary Movie (2000) |
"I couldn’t help wishing I were watching that obscure little children’s fantasy instead. As I recall, it’s a lot funnier and more frightening than Scary Movie." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat 3/10 |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"Zucker and his team don't seem to be trying anymore." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato |
Schizo (2005) |
"Six weeks' filming, some auspicious debuts, and an un-noisy satisfying gem." |
Donald J. Levit |
Splat |
School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"Perfectly cast, but too mean spirited for me." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
School of Rock (2003) |
"That sound you hear is me -- still applauding Jack Black's wildly hilarious tour de force in School of Rock." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato 10/10 |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"[Its] surreal reach is unfettered, and as with Stephane's dreams it defies its own boundaries, mirroring a distressed human being's attempt to get a grip on wildly passionate emotions." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato |
Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) |
"A light-hearted romp through nostalgia for 'Scooby-Doo' fans." |

The Scorpion King (2002) |
"It's a hoot watching The Rock chomp on jumbo ants, pull an arrow out of his back, and leap unscathed through raging fire!" |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
Screamers (2006) |
"Certain important omissions do not detract from the fervent message of 'Screamers,' but what is left in the end is screed, as opposed to film." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Screen Door Jesus (2005) |
"New filmmaker Kirk Davis miraculously melds numerous characters and ideas together with entertaining and thought-provoking results." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
The Sea Inside (2004) |
"Generally avoids sentimentality and celebrates the spiritual strength of the individual." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Seabiscuit (2003) |
"No doubt about it. 'Seabiscuit' belongs in the winner's circle." |
Diana Saenger |
Tomato |
The Seagull's Laughter (2001) |
"Exhibits a sense of life's tragic confines alternating with mischievous wit." |

The Seagull's Laughter (2001) |
"Did She or Didn't She?" |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus (2005) |
"Grim at times but almost always humorous, and with sympathy for backwoods, backwaters and their inhabitants, singer-songwriter Jim White is an illuminating Stage Manager." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Secondhand Lions (2003) |
"Schmaltzy? Absolutely. But in the hands of three exceptional actors, Secondhand Lions is totally entertaining and heartwarming. I'm adding it to my best-of-year list." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
The Secret Life of Bees (2008) |
"For every heart that's warmed by this celluloid celebration of the maternal spirit, another will find it condescending regarding race and/or gender." |
John P. McCarthy |
Tomato |
The Secret Lives of Dentists (2003) |
"A cross between 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'A Beautiful Mind' -- but more compelling than either." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
Secret Lives: Hidden Children and Their Rescuers During WWII (2002) |
"Not among the best documentaries of its genre." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Secret Window (2004) |
"Johnny Depp may be the only actor around today who can turn even something as simple as washing and drying his hands into a dramatic clue about the character he's playing." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat |
See No Evil (2006) |
"The film's grungy setting promises more suspense and thrills than actually materialize on screen." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Seed (2008) |
"...drowns itself in so much death and despair, it almost seems to punish you for renting it." |
A. J. Hakari |
Splat |
Seed of Chucky (2004) |
"I'm a Chucky fan, but his raunchy fifth outing earns a spot on my 'Worst Movies of 2004' list." |
