2/4

S.W.A.T. (2003)

"... Dumb, lazy, predictable and usually preposterous. Occasionally it’s fun, but that’s no excuse."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
4/5

Sabotage (1936)

The Sadist (1963)

3/4

Sahara (2005)

"...the overriding lesson here is that if we don't go looking to Matthew McConaughey for gravitas, we'll probably have a good time."

Mark Collette

Tomato
3/5

The Sailor Who Fell From Grace With the Sea (1976)

No article available.

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2/4

The Santa Clause 2 (2002)

"The industrial-strength artifice and bogus sentiment that fueled 1994’s inexplicable megahit 'The Santa Clause' returns for another ride in Santa’s souped-up sleigh."

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2/4

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006)

"Cinema is far too powerful a medium to be graded on a curve-- even when Tim Allen is involved."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
4/5

Sarah, Plain and Tall (1990)

Saturday the 14th (1981)

No article available.

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2/4

Saw (2004)

"Clumsy, but crudely effective; liberating in its horrific imagery, but undone by the very same."

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2/4

Saw II (2005)

"It's not slick, it's not empowering, and it's not pretty. But what it does -- efficiently exploiting our primal fears -- it does pretty well."

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
0/4

Saw III (2006)

"It induces squirming not because the filmmakers are good at creating suspense, but because they are expert sadists with a $12 million budget."

Mark Collette

Tomato
5/5

Scarface (1932)

"The quintessential crime thriller. One of the few perfect films."

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
1.5/4

Scary Movie 3 (2003)

"I never thought I’d find myself waxing nostalgic for the charms of 'Scary Movie 2.'"

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
1/4

Scary Movie 4 (2006)

"David Zucker, who once had one of the most supple comic touches in the business, has turned into the chowderhead who keeps elbowing you in the ribs asking, 'Get it? Get it?'"

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2/4

School of Rock (2003)

"The very anarchic spirit Black’s Dewey Finn imparts on the youngsters falls away in an avalanche of tidy sentiment and warm fuzzies, and it becomes clearer than in the Farrelly Brothers’ 'Shallow Hal' that he's at sea when he’s forced to dial down his per"

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
3/4

Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002)

"A feature-length in joke that has marvelous fun with the decades of homoerotic and reefer-smoking subtexts assigned to it by people with entirely too much time on their hands."

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2.5/4

Seabiscuit (2003)

"What eventually keeps Laura Hillenbrand’s rousing true tale of the downtrodden horse that blossomed into a spectacular champion from galloping into the winner’s circle on screen is its writer-director’s maddening insistence that we be edified and inspired"

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
3/4

Secondhand Lions (2003)

"Where McCanlies eventually almost succeeds in demolishing his laid-back little embassy of wonder and good will is his refusal to practice what his characters preach."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
5/5

Seconds (1966)

No article available.

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2/4

The Sentinel (2006)

"Recommend this one to a friend with a bum ticker. Not a single moment in the 108-minute running time is sufficient to even quicken the pulse."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
5/5

Sergeant York (1941)

No article available.

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
0.5/4

Serving Sara (2002)

"This mind-numbing comic void never generates enough electricity to brown an English muffin."

The Shaggy Dog (2006)

"They've created a virus that can turn people into dogs so they will learn important life lessons."

Mark Collette

Splat
2/4

Shall We Dance? (2004)

"A warm, honestly observed study of middle-age awakening becomes a vehicle to pull J.Lo's caboose."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
5/5

Shane (1953)

"The indelible, mythic granddaddy of post-modern Westerns."

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2/4

Shark Tale (2004)

"We needn’t look further than 'Shark Tale' to realize the studio that revolutionized the art of CGI animation doesn’t own the patent on wit and imagination."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
3/5

She's Gotta Have It (1986)

No article available.

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2.5/4

Shopgirl (2005)

"...More like a European film than Hollywood, but it's not a matter of transmitting on a frequency most Americans don't receive. It's a matter of information that's not there."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
4/4

Shrek 2 (2004)

"Once or twice a decade, a moment comes along that’s so through-the-roof, rupture-your-hernia funny that it reaffirms my faith in comedy. 'Shrek 2' has several of those. "

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
4/4

Sideways (2004)

"Neither a bang nor a whimper, but a warm, engaging dialogue about things that matter, in words that must be said."

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
0/5

The Silence of the Hams (1994)

No article available.

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2/4

Silent Hill (2006)

"Striking visuals tell a story where words aren't necessary ... until that turning point, when dull dialogue, a complicated plot and cheesy graphics start to muddle things."

Mark Collette

Tomato
4/5

Silkwood (1983)

"Searing - if manipulative - potboiler that catches Meryl Streep and Cher in peak form."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
4/5

Silverado (1985)

No article available.

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
3/4

Sin City (2005)

"'Sin City' won't move you or inspire deep thought, but it might rattle you and make you sweat, with all that stark black-and-white heat."

Mark Collette

Tomato
3/4

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)

"This DreamWorks animated outing eventually surrenders to the paralyzing goop and arthritic formula that haunt 90 percent of the features churned out by arch-rival The Mouse House — but somehow fills its sails with enough wit and wonder to stay afloat."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
4/5

Singles (1992)

"As meandering and ultimately clueless as the post-collegiate coffeehouse crowd at its core ... that's why it works."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)

"A film I expected to enter the ninth circle of the chirpy Hilary Duff 'girl-power' inferno is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful coming-of-age stories I’ve seen in years."

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2.5/4

The Skeleton Key (2005)

"One of those thrillers that constantly has us shouting advice at the screen — until the heartening realization sinks in that it’s not quite as dopey as we think."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
3.5/4

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)

"What we should expect of a night at the movies: Bold, clever, inventive, exhilarating — and often enough, magical."

Jonathan R. Perry

Tomato
3/4

Sky High (2005)

"Quaint, but funny, a clever and well-acted story plugged into a worn formula."

Mark Collette

Splat
1/5

Slaves of New York (1989)

No article available.

Jonathan R. Perry

Splat
2.5/4

Smokin' Aces (2007)

"It's instantly engrossing, stays great for about 45 minutes and good for another 20, then begins collapsing under the oppressive weight of taking itself very, very seriously."

Jonathan R. Perry
