Sahara (2005) |
"Sahara isn’t exactly a prestigious Merchant-Ivory production, and it doesn’t pretend to be. Meet it on its level of entertainment, and a good time is sure to be had." |

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) |
"The pogo vibe of the first two films is missing from the new picture, but what it lacks in bellylaughs in makes up for in reliable entertainment value - an increasingly lost art." |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"Magic is an uproarious, profoundly obscene, inventively twisted performance film that, in a just world, should make a star out of this ferociously talented comic." |

Saturday Night Fever (1977) |
"The omission of John Travolta in any of the commentaries or documentaries is a major shadow that the new disc cannot get out from." |
Edward Havens |
Tomato A+ |
Save The Green Planet! (2005) |
"A frighteningly funny and maniacally messed-up trip through one man’s psychotic fantasy." |
Edward Havens |
Splat D |
Saved! (2004) |
"Saved! tries to turn religious devotion, contradictions, and iconography into a rip-roaring satire, but it fails to be at all interesting and, most damningly, it is deeply unfunny." |

Saw (2004) |
"If every year has a Showgirls, Saw is the prime candidate for 2004." |

Saw II (2005) |
"In the long run, Saw II is a better film than the original, but that's like saying being kicked in the groin is better than being punched in the face." |

Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"Nothing here is red carpet, admirable entertainment, but compared to last February's bottom-feeding knockoff, Date Movie, the self-assured Scary Movie 4 looks like The 400 Blows." |

School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"Jon Heder. He's the worst thing to happen to comedy since the invention of the frown." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B+ |
School of Rock (2003) |
""Capturing the whirling dervish that is Jack Black in a bottle, he gives the film his best performance caught on celluloid yet."" |

The Science of Sleep (2006) |

Scoop (2006) |

Secondhand Lions (2003) |
""Had I not known that The Iron Giant and New Line's forthcoming Secondhand Lions shared the same screenwriter in Tim McCanlies, I most likely would have written off Lions as the work of a first-timer still in the process of honing his craft..."" |

See No Evil (2006) |
"Sadly, Kane has all the cinematic presence of a shaved ape, and possesses acting skills that make Vin Diesel look like vintage 1974 Pacino." |
Brian Orndorf |
Splat D- |
Seed of Chucky (2004) |
"Mancini should’ve been the man to hit this sequel out of the park...all the filmmaker is capable of is creating the worst, most deliberately unfunny Chucky feature film yet." |

Serenity (2005) |
"If you weren’t into Firefly before, Serenity gives no decent excuse to start now." |
Brian Orndorf |

Serenity (2005) |
"Can proudly be placed alongside “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Blade Runner” as one of the best science-fiction movies of modern cinema." |

Seven Year Zigzag (2003) |

Shadowboxer (2006) |
"Daniels know his way around making the viewer uncomfortable, but there's a fine line between genuine, pants-tickling eroticism and 'I can't believe I'm watching this surrounded by strangers' soft-core porn." |
Brian Orndorf |

The Shaggy Dog (2006) |
"This Shaggy Dog merely slops on computer trickery and heartwarming message 101 plotting in the absence of creative screenwriting and inspired direction." |

Shall We Dance? (2004) |
"The new Dance is a lukewarm Hollywood T-ball game, where the only goal is to please every potential audience member out there in the great unknown." |

Shark Tale (2004) |
"Shark Tale does have moments of fun and a couple of the goofier gags work, but it comes off as Shrek leftovers and sloppy seconds to Finding Nemo." |

She's The Man (2006) |
"Bynes elevates the material with her spunk, and deserves most of the credit keeping "Man" away from tedium with her resolve to keep the film fluffy and silly." |
Brian Orndorf |
Tomato B |
Shopgirl (2005) |
"Shopgirl reveals a different, almost melancholy mood inside Steve Martin, and he seems ready to rip apart the conventions of a romantic feature film." |

Shrek 2 (2004) |
"For the 12 of us who couldn’t find any value in Shrek, Shrek 2 shows welcomed improvement on this loathsome concept for a feature film." |

Shut Up & Sing (2006) |
"The film is a wonderful and intelligent creation and certainly a must see for any Chicks fan that lost the faith over such an absurd and misunderstood moment of personal expression." |

Sideways (2004) |
"It truly is a testament to Payne’s skill that Sideways has come out a deeply entertaining and intensely honest motion picture." |

Silent Hill (2006) |
"The problem is, Hill gets lost in the foaming desire by Gans to maintain the movement and depth of the game, leaving the action lifeless and dreadfully repetitive." |

Silver City (2004) |
" Silver City is easily the weakest film to come out of John Sayles, but he is still head and shoulders above his competition." |
Brian Orndorf |

Silver City (2004) |
"Sayles at the top of his game, utilizing the same multi-story, multi-culture template which made “Lone Star” so captivating." |

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) |
"Traveling Pants will be catnip for the core readership, but the possibility for this material to register more strongly with the senses nags the entire film." |
