Same Old Song (1997)

"Sublime work from an old but still innovative French New Waver."

The Sand Pebbles (1966)

"Steve McQueen is great, and Candace Bergen is breathtakingly beautiful."

Serpico (1973)

"An uneven film about a real life N.Y. cop who fought corruption. Al Pacino's passionate performace makes it worth watching."

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

"Shaun of the Dead aims for the head and the funny bone, and scores a major hit with both."

Shortbus (2006)

"I would like to commend Mitchell for making a warm, funny and very human film about people who don't just want sex but want to enjoy sex with someone they love. What a concept!"

Shutter (2008)

"The choice of a Japanese director and a number of key Japanese crew seems to have helped make this American remake a notch better than the other atrocious remakes such as One Missed Call, Pulse and The Eye."

Simon of the Desert (1965)

Sleuth (2007)

"Branagh's Sleuth delivers a preening surface that's glossy and coldly attractive but we don't care a whit about the characters or what happens to them."

Slumdog Millionaire (2008)

"Like Jamal, Slumdog Millionaire succeeds against all odds and in ways that you think are impossible. In our cynical, contemporary times, it delivers a romantic fable that's as rich, complex, and beautiful as the city it comes from."

Spaced: The Complete Series (1999)

"If you only buy one DVD this year make it Spaced. Seriously, it's funny. Very funny. This show will not only make you laugh, it will get better with each viewing as you pick up on more and more of the pop culture references."

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

"The topper is Bruce Campbell's appearance as a French waiter. Campbell, who worked with Raimi in the early Evil Dead days, is hilarious as a snotty waiter whose help Peter enlists for a "perfect" romantic evening."

The Spirit (2008)

"Trailer Tuesday: The Spirit"

Star Trek (2009)

"I must add that the reason I think this new Star Trek works has less to do with Abrams being the director and more to do with a genuinely smart script by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman."

Starting Out in the Evening (2007)

"Starting Out in the Evening boasts exquisite performances by Langella and Taylor, and that may provide reward enough for most filmgoers."

Stranger Than Fiction (2006)

"The place where the film runs into problems is in trying to decide, like Harold, as to whether or not it is a comedy or a tragedy. As we know, comedy sells much better and that's the direction the film leans."

Superbad (2007)

"Superbad is the perfect crude teen comedy to end the summer on. It's funny, a little bittersweet and it signals something coming to an end."

Surfwise (2008)

"In the end, Surfwise is a fascinating portrait of a family that manages to be both radical and conventional, divided but still tightly bound by blood."

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007)

"Sweeney Todd left me torn. There were so many elements that I loved but then there were those constant, annoying songs."

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2005)

"Park forces us to consider a world where good intentions go awry, decent people do bad things, and fate deals cruel cards. But even at its darkest moments, Sympathy finds surprising and heartbreaking shreds of humanity."
