Sabrina (1995) |
"Polished, classy" |

The Saint (1997) |
"A piece of mass-market movie bubblegum that stretches incredulity and then snaps apart." |
Tom Long |
Splat |
The Salon (2005) |
"This is one of those films where everything simply feels wrong, from the clunky dialogue to the obvious staging." |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"Yes, it's sick. Yes, it's funny." |
Tom Long |
Tomato |
The Savages (2007) |
"Powerful, painful and yet unerringly funny as it points out our emotional and physical vulnerabilities, this is a film that finds the humor in tragedy while keeping both omnipresent." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 3/4 |
Save the Last Dance (2001) |
"It pays knowing respect not only to high school social politics, but also to racial politics among today’s young people." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato B |
Saved! (2004) |
"There are many blessed moments in this movie." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saving Grace (2000) |
"Frothy, silly, ever so slightly subversive and purely delightful." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato 4/4 |
Saving Private Ryan (1998) |
"As compelling, intimate and brutally realistic an account of men at war as you’ve ever seen." |
Susan Stark |
Splat 1/4 |
Saving Silverman (2001) |
"Even 12-year-old girls will see it as the defensive and moronic excuse for a comedy about modern sexual politics that it is." |
Susan Stark |
Splat C |
Saw II (2005) |
"Saw II lacks quite a bit of the cutting edge that made the original such a guilty, grisly pleasure last year." |
Tom Long |
Splat D |
Saw IV (2007) |
"Even fans of good, old-fashioned, onscreen torture will find themselves rolling their eyes at the twists and turns in this impossibly convoluted story." |
Adam Graham |
Splat C- |
Saw VI (2009) |
"Saw VI doesn't come close to reigniting the spark of the original, but at least it approaches coherence, which is more than can be said for the last several installments of the series." |
Adam Graham |
Splat |
Say It Isn't So (2001) |
"Say It Isn’t So attempts a copycat offensive in distractingly hurky-jerky style; the script moves in fits and starts and the cutting doesn’t smooth things out a bit." |
Susan Stark |
Splat 1/4 |
Scary Movie (2000) |
"A movie that keeps testing just how low it can go." |
Susan Stark |
Splat 2/4 |
Scary Movie 2 (2001) |
"The film never really regains the opening scene's momentum." |
Tom Long |
Splat D |
Scary Movie 3 (2003) |
"It has the tasteless thing going on but no film can succeed on vomit alone." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"Frighteningly silly, intentionally incorrect and stupendously stupid, Scary Movie 4 skewers everything in its path with a wild-eyed glee that's contagious." |
Tom Long |
Splat C |
School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"There's too much familiarity in School for Scoundrels for it to be break-out funny. There are chuckles, sure, but they're chuckles you've had before." |
Tom Long |
Tomato A |
School of Rock (2003) |
"Splendid fare, a fun-filled power chord of a flick all ages can enjoy." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B+ |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"It's all very cosmopolitan (the dialogue is English, French and Spanish), very independent, a wee bit juvenile and very confusing, of course. But The Science of Sleep is also remarkably magical and desperately romantic beneath it all." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 2/4 |
Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002) |
"It may ... work as a jaunt down memory lane for teens and young adults who grew up on televised Scooby-Doo shows or reruns." |
Susan Stark |
Splat C- |
Scoop (2006) |
"Things don't really get ugly in Scoop, they just feel very familiar very quickly, which doesn't mean it's necessarily bad, just awfully lightweight and terribly unoriginal." |
Tom Long |
Tomato |
The Score (2001) |
"Oz allows both stars more time than they deserve to flesh out their characters. Still, it's fascinating to watch these two superb actors in highly detailed turns." |
Susan Stark |

The Scorpion King (2002) |
"It's not hateful. It's simply stupid, irrelevant and deeply, truly, bottomlessly cynical." |

Seabiscuit (2003) |
"It's the kind of movie that makes you feel better for having watched it, a film of endless hope and energy." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B- |
Secondhand Lions (2003) |
"Secondhand Lions is not a great movie, but you'd have to be an old coot not to like it at least a bit." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B |
The Secret Life of Bees (2008) |
"There's a quiet charm to The Secret Life of Bees, a family movie that dares to tackle some serious subjects along the way. It's feel-good most of the time, feel-bad some of the time, and well made throughout." |
Tom Long |
Splat C+ |
Secret Things (2003) |
"A lot of sexy stuff wrapped in an obvious morality tale with some philosophical hooey and clunky symbols thrown in to justify the cheap, but undeniable, thrills." |
Tom Long |
Splat C |
Secret Window (2004) |
"There is undeniable pleasure in watching Depp have fun with a role, turning a character in an inferior movie into something worth treasuring. Still, it would be even more rewarding watching him work his magic in a good film." |
Tom Long |
Splat 1/4 |
Secretary (2002) |
"Both lead performances are earnest in the extreme and that the psychological explanations for what's shown on screen are facile, at best." |

See Spot Run (2001) |
"See Spot Run is so guileless and good-natured that you may just find yourself enjoying it almost half as much as the child who brought you along to the movie." |

Semi-Pro (2008) |
"Semi-Pro is precisely that: a movie that is sort of professionally made and sort of professionally acted with no serious expectations beyond earning money and offering audience members some passing entertainment." |

The Sentinel (2006) |
"There are tense situations, daring escapes, shots fired, innocent civilians at risk, foreign terrorists. What else do you need?" |

Separate Lies (2005) |
"A tight little film that's so painfully civil it makes you want to slap the characters around, which may be the point." |

September Dawn (2007) |
"[Director Cain] stops short of calling Osama bin Laden a Mormon sympathizer, but maybe that'll be on the DVD." |
Adam Graham |

The September Issue (2009) |
"A mesmerizing study of the tension between commerce and creativity." |

Serendipity (2001) |
"About halfway through you start wondering if anything else is going to happen to make things more interesting. The answer: Nope." |
