Saawariya (2007) |
"Ranbir Raj is a charming presence with moves that suggest a cross between Justin Timberlake and Gene Kelly, but the screen really comes to life when it's full of dancers." |

Saving Private Ryan (1998) |
"Verge on greatness." |

Saw III (2006) |
"I couldn't watch Saw III without thinking of reality TV shows like Fear Factor. Can it be a deliberate parody?" |

Secretary (2002) |
"If there’s a joke here, it’s on anybody who’s too uptight to groove on the whatever-gets-you-through-the-night love story Secretary envisions." |

Shiri (2002) |

The Sixth Sense (1999) |
"It's clear in both the performances and the supremely moody atmosphere (ratcheted up by solid cinematography, editing, and sound and set design) that this picture was in many ways a labor of love." |

Solaris (2002) |
"If George Clooney gives the best performance of his career here, he is probably still too facile for the material, his good looks and now instinctive charisma rubbing against the grain of an emotionally devastated character." |
