Savage Grace (2008) |
"Told with a spare style and a tart wit, it records sprawling events with a claustrophobic sense of intimacy." |

Saw V (2008) |
"The Saw series isn't nearly as interesting without Jigsaw, but it's getting harder and harder to find ways to include him in increasingly-desperate sequels." |

Semi-Pro (2008) |
"No amount or combination of shame, absurdity and unflattering outfits seem to dint Ferrell's fierce commitment to character." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato |
A Serious Man (2009) |
"A unique alchemy seems to take hold on those sporadic occasions when the Coen brothers decide to get down with their ethnic roots." |
Jan Stuart |
Splat |
Seven Pounds (2008) |
"A slow, improbable and very mawkish drama." |

Sherlock Holmes (2009) |
"While Downey Jr provides his usual devil-may-care charm, this Sherlock Holmes ultimately feels like an excuse for high-energy action sequences rather than an attempt to breathe new life into a dusty literary icon." |

Shorts (2009) |
"Shorts generally works precisely because it unfolds at breakneck pace and in a world where seemingly anything can happen." |

The Simpsons Movie (2007) |
"[The] hit-miss ratio outstrips that of any other conventional comedy this summer." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato |
Sin Nombre (2009) |
"Cary Fukunaga makes a strong impression with his debut feature, a visually rich Spanish-language thriller which borrows the conventions of the western and applies them to a world of gang brotherhoods and travelling immigrants in Mexico." |
Mike Goodridge |
Tomato |
A Single Man (2009) |
"Fashion designer Tom Ford gets it spectacularly right first time round in his directorial debut." |
Lee Marshall |
Tomato |
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) |
"The four leads are all capable stewards of their characters, each with their own sunniness and charm." |

Smart People (2008) |
"The director's recurrent habit of flooding his soundtrack with songs whose lyrics emphatically inform the viewer precisely what the characters are feeling is a repeated turn-off." |
|
Tomato |
The Soloist (2009) |
"As a study of two apparently dissimilar men trying to find their way in the world, The Soloist works fairly well." |
John Hazelton |
Splat |
Sorority Row (2009) |
"Sorority Row proves to be just another crass slasher movie, recycling familiar ingredients to diminishing effect." |
Allan Hunter |
Splat |
Space Chimps (2008) |
"Space Chimp's narrative pendulum swings illustrate, in contrasting fashion, the care, depth and shading given to storylines by Pixar and creators of other top-shelf animated fare." |

The Sparrow (2008) |
"Some of the scenes in this gentle romantic pickpocketing yarn are pure cinematic pleasure, but in the end the plot and the characters are too thin to turn a series of delightfully stylised setpieces into a fully satisfying film." |
Lee Marshall |
Splat |
Speed Racer (2008) |
"The brothers swamp the fragile story and characters with such a deluge of CGI tricks and elaborate action sequences that it proves hard to care about the humans on screen." |
Mike Goodridge |
Tomato |
The Spirit (2008) |
"Frank Miller's first solo effort as a director is an entertaining, if forgettable, cinematic imagining of Will Eisner's classic superhero The Spirit." |
Mike Goodridge |
Tomato |
Spring Fever (2009) |
"Director Lou Ye, aided by Zeng Jian’s astonishing camerawork, manages to hit a poignant note with floral imagery in Spring Fever." |
Howard Feinstein |
Tomato |
Standard Operating Procedure (2008) |
"Morris's distillation of long talks with young ex-soldiers and the female general who commanded prisons all over Iraq is among the best documentaries on the Iraq war." |
David D'Arcy |

Star Trek (2009) |

State of Play (2009) |
"It's rare that a big-ticket thriller gets it so right." |
Fionnuala Halligan |
Splat |
Step Brothers (2008) |
"Playing like an overlong DVD version of one of his earlier, funnier, PG-13 films, Step Brothers finds Will Ferrell diving into raunchier, coarser terrain." |

Tomato |
Still Walking (2009) |
"The fluid, unobtrusive camera work handles with equal ease moments of intense intimacy, the look in a child’s eyes or the silent expression of a couple about to go to sleep while also making the best of glorious open-air landscapes." |
|
Splat |
The Stone Angel (2008) |
"A perfectly respectable, solidly-made film which, beyond the expert performance by the always reliable Ellen Burstyn, has unfortunately little to recommend it." |
Peter Brunette |
Tomato |
Stone of Destiny (2008) |
"An old-fashioned, unashamed heartwarmer more likely to prove a crowd- pleaser than a critical favourite." |
Allan Hunter |
Tomato |
The Strangers (2008) |
"An effectively grim, exceedingly well-made horror thriller." |
Brent Simon |

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) |
"Even avid fans of the classic video game on which it is based are likely to give a thumbs down to Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li." |
John Hazelton |
Splat |
Street Kings (2008) |
"Everything here is predictable, from the tired plot whose revelations are deeply unsurprising to the gritty dialogue and casual everyday violence of the cops involved." |
Mike Goodridge |

Stuck (2007) |
"Clever and far more than competent." |
David D'Arcy |
Tomato |
Suck (2009) |
"Stefaniuk, a one-man band as writer, director, actor and author of seven of the film’s songs, leavens the schtick of band humour with vampire lore." |
