S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"Why not just make an action film without pretending to be something more?" |
Steven Snyder |
Splat 2.5/4 |
S1m0ne (2002) |
"Any impact the film had as it questioned reality, the media, perception and Hollywood is erased like a reformatted hard drive." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Schindler's List (1993) |
"I saw the movie,its characters and their struggles anew,not as some vague abstract of heroism or resiliency,but as human beings who witnessed something I can't begin to fathom" |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"Through Gondry’s eyes, the experience is not the story but the sensation of a dreamscape unlike any we have experienced before -- the place where fear walks hand-in-hand with hope, joy and imagination." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) |
"“Scooby-Doo 2,” much to my shock and amazement, is a fun little trifle." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3/4 |
Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002) |
"Scooby Doo is surely everything its fans are hoping it will be, and in that sense is a movie that deserves recommendation." |

September 11 (2003) |
"Yet all of these short films have something distinct to say, and no director takes the path of least resistance." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Shaun of the Dead (2004) |
"It’s more enjoyable than most zombie movies or romantic comedies are in their own rights." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Shawshank Redemption (1994) |
"The Shawshank Redemption is most memorable thanks to its ingenious surprises." |
Steven Snyder |
Splat 1.5/4 |
She's The Man (2006) |
"It’s stupid, dull and toothless, and a classic example of why the next generation is increasingly staying away from the movie theaters. Is this all Hollywood thinks of them?" |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Shrek 2 (2004) |
"...the sequel has come close to rivaling the original and you will leave ready to see it all again. I don’t imagine I’ll be writing that compliment often this summer." |
Steven Snyder |
Splat 2/4 |
Shrek the Third (2007) |
"What’s lacking is that intangible sense of fun, of inventiveness, of ingenuity, that made the first Shrek something you ran to your friends, grabbed them by the arms and told them they simply HAD to see." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 4/4 |
Sicko (2007) |
"Provocative, funny, and all around exceptional." |

Signs (2002) |
"The result is a film that sags between its night sequences. The only comparison I can think of is a “Jaws” without a story between shark attacks." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Simpsons Movie (2007) |
"Is it as good as the television show? Yes. Does it have some of the sharp writing from the series’ earlier years that has gone missing from the show as of late? Yes." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 4/4 |
Sin City (2005) |
"I was thoroughly entertained." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 4/4 |
Singin' in the Rain (1952) |
"It is an improbable masterpiece; a film where everything just has that indistinguishable quality of fitting together." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Spanglish (2004) |
" While the movie has an interesting message, and conveys it in a compelling approach, its structure limits it from ever being completely successful." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 4/4 |
Spartan (2004) |
"it is nothing short of an indictment of Warner Brothers that this monumental work has gone unnoticed by the general public." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 4/4 |
Spellbound (2003) |
"At one point, I sat back in my chair, and celebrated the fact that I knew the film was only half over." |

Spider-Man (2002) |
"This is not a good movie, but a mediocre means of passing a few hours. It is a classic example of money and special effects diluting artistic vision and talent." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 4/4 |
Spider-Man 2 (2004) |
"He could be any of us, exposed, overcoming our fears and coming to grips with our destiny. He reminds us of why we were ever excited by superheroes in the first place." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Spider-Man 3 (2007) |
"A successful bit of thoughtful escapism that balances the sensory thrills of the number one with the more serious thoughts of number two." |

Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) |
"Whatever the weaknesses, “Nemesis” deserves some credit for its universality. It can be enjoyed by anyone, whether the biggest “Trek” nerd, or a newcomer to the series." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) |
"In the end, what I appreciated most was the unpredictability of it all." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) |
"A great film in spite of itself." |
Steven Snyder |
Tomato 3/4 |
Starsky & Hutch (2004) |
"...the film’s willingness to laugh at itself. This is not fine art, but pop culture fun, and for once the filmmakers seem in on the joke.
" |
Steven Snyder |
Splat 2/4 |
Stealth (2005) |
"Despite its creative premise involving a robotic and intelligent fighter jet which goes bad, is remarkably uncreative in coming up with a story that actually makes use of this cool toy." |
Steven Snyder |
Splat 2/4 |
Step Into Liquid (2003) |
"“Step Into Liquid” is not a documentary so much as a love letter from director Dana Brown to his sport of surfing." |
Steven Snyder |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Stepford Wives (2004) |
"What a gutless and apologetic film this is...Hollywood has never met a good idea that it couldn’t eviscerate.
" |
Steven Snyder |

Stuck on You (2003) |
"it is an enduring and welcome deviation from the mean-spirited comedies that expend so much energy tearing people down.

Syriana (2005) |
"It has a lot on its mind, and is not afraid to speak. So much so, in fact, that it should serve as a good crash-course in international energy affairs for those unfamiliar with the subject." |
