S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"Forgettable Friday night thriller that’s short on action set-pieces but compensates with decent characters and performances." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Sahara (2005) |
"In short, Sahara is a hugely enjoyable, old fashioned adventure movie of the sort that they really don't make anymore. It's worth seeing just for the chemistry between its three leads." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Sakuran (2006) |
"In short, Sakuran is an enjoyable, superbly directed and impressively acted drama that gives a delicious manga-slash-J-pop twist to the geisha story. Worth seeking out." |
Matthew Turner |

Saw II (2005) |
"Saw 2 gives talented, creepy-looking character actor Tobin Bell the chance to shine again as the cancer-ridden serial killer." |

Scary Movie (2000) |
"This is Dumb American Comedy at its best and well worth 90 minutes of your time." |

Scorched (2003) |
"The comedy is extremely broad and there's a slight air of desperation to the whole thing, as if the film is trying too hard to be quirky and likeable.

The Sentinel (2006) |
"Basically, it's a treat for fans of 24 and Desperate Housewives to see Jack Bauer running around with Gabrielle Solis - they make a great double act and should be given their own show immediately." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Separate Lies (2005) |
