The Savages (2007)

"A black comedy that frequently goes down like the most bitter coffee imaginable."

Saw (2004)

"In this age of cookie cutter thrillers, here's one that, for better or worse (or a bit of both), stands apart from the pack."

Scary Movie 3 (2003)

"Pamela Anderson, Simon Cowell and a Michael Jackson clone - certainly some folks' idea of a good time but little more than an act of sheer desperation as far as I'm concerned."

Schindler's List (1993)

"Many might argue that, for all its excellence, this isn't Spielberg's best movie, but it's impossible to deny its standing as his most important."

The Science of Sleep (2006)

"I doubt any other movie of 2006 will inspire as many walkouts as The Science of Sleep, a declaration which in itself should function as a no-holds-barred recommendation for those seeking something unusual in their moviegoing diet."

Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002)

"It's the film's very awareness of its own kitsch quotient that allows it to qualify as a likable lark."

The Sea Inside (2004)

"Respectable but undistinguished, and it places a distant second to 2004's other award winner about euthanasia (don't ask, won't tell)."

The Secret Life of Bees (2008)

"Prince-Bythewood largely stays away from grandiloquent gestures designed to manipulate audience emotions, relying instead on sound storytelling and a set of accomplished performers to punch across the story's humanist appeal."

The Seeker (2007)

"The dark may have been rising, but my eyelids were repeatedly falling as I struggled to stay awake during the interminable and exhausting The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising."

The Sentinel (2006)

"Johnson doubtless planned to deliver a hand-wringing thriller filled with unexpected twists and turns, but even good intentions can find themselves caught in the line of fire."

A Serious Man (2009)

"It's unclassifiable -- and also one of the best movies of the year."

Seven Pounds (2008)

"With their latest collaboration, it seems as if [Smith and Muccino] were engaged in the pursuit of crappyness."

Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)

"As for the fanboys, they really should do something more beneficial to humankind than attacking female-centric films every chance they get -- ever hear of that proverbial long walk off a short pier?"

Shall We Dance? (2004)

"Lopez's pout doesn't convey tragedy as much as brattiness, as if the catastrophe in Paulina's life was that she had missed out on a clearance sale at her favorite shoe store."

Shark Tale (2004)

"Amazingly, today's two biggest media whores aren't on hand as, say, Larry King Mackerel and Stingray Leno."

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

"The comedy quotient makes this more accessible to general audiences than most movies centering on the undead."

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

"While gorehounds and fanboys will line up (if only to see two examples of death by carrot stick), it's 50-50 as to whether other palates will savor this particular dish."

The Shop on Main Street (1965)

Shortbus (2006)

"What makes Shortbus unusual for an American movie is that it isn't frightened of sex, it doesn't reduce the act to insensitive frat boy gyrations, and it doesn't employ it as a bludgeoning weapon."

Shrek the Third (2007)

"Both the donkey and the kitty have largely been neutered, and the film's makers didn't bother to introduce any compelling new characters to pick up the slack."

Sicko (2007)

"A patriotic American who believes that no one should be left behind, Moore employs his latest film as a bludgeoning tool against insidious insurance companies and the corrupt politicians who let them get away with murder -- often literally."

The Simpsons Movie (2007)

"Crafting a motion picture from a current television series that's been around for nearly two decades is a dicey proposition, but The Simpsons Movie fills the larger dimensions of the theater screen quite nicely."

Sin Nombre (2009)

"Sin Nombre marks an impressive feature-film debut for Cary Joji Fukunaga, albeit more as a director than a writer."

Sir! No Sir! (2006)

"Because there's a contemporary vibe to David Zeiger's informative Vietnam War documentary, the film is able to exist on two separate (if unavoidably linked) plateaus."
