Sahara (2005) |
"Sahara rather resembles National Treasure, another film with a strained story line and deadening lack of visual richness." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"Silverman is clearly in the line of such fearless comedy forebears as
Lenny Bruce and Richard Pryor. As she says at the end of this mostly
hilarious movie, 'I don't care if you think I'm racist. I just want you
to think I'm thin.'

Savage Grace (2008) |
"...a ravishing visual strategy for a story of such dark struggle." |

Tomato |
Saw (2004) |
"This one does its bloody job fairly well, but it'll be interesting to see what Wan and Whannell are able to achieve when they get a bigger budget." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 2/4 |
Saw II (2005) |
"The slaughter in Saw II is pretty much non-stop, but you always see it coming. The movie's not really that scary, just gross in what by now is a fairly routine way." |

Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"Does 'Scary Movie 4' successfully follow the traditional spoof movie rules?" |

Tomato 4/5 |
School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"You may have seen the trailer for this movie. Ignore it. The trailer conveys nothing of how wonderfully funny the film really is." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"Michel Gondry's introverted and untethered whimsy becomes oppressive, and very quickly boring. ... 'The Science of Sleep' drifts away into woozy inconsequence." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Self-Medicated (2007) |
"This is a movie with a disturbing story to tell, but it promises more for the future of its first-time director, writer and star, Monty Lapica, than it really delivers for a viewer. The picture over-punches its message and ultimately grows tiresome." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Semi-Pro (2008) |
"Not even Ferrell, spinning his comic wheels here, can save this vapid flick." |

The Sentinel (1977) |

The September Issue (2009) |
"Can Wintour -- who's reportedly paid $2-million a year and also given an annual personal clothing budget of $200,000 -- keep her job? In the fashion biz, this is what passes for hard times." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1/5 |
Seraphim Falls (2007) |
"This curious Western may set a new world record for out-of-the-blue inanity, which comes winging in toward the end of the picture." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat |
Seven Pounds (2008) |
"Smith himself is rarely boring, of course %u2014 he radiates talent, charm and intelligence. But in the new movie Seven Pounds, he has intentionally dialed down his most appealing qualities %u2014 romantic dash, comic sparkle, rousing physicality %" |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 1/5 |
Severance (2007) |
"This failed attempt at a horror comedy is one of those rare movies with virtually nothing to recommend it. I only note it here as a consumer service for those who might be misled into expecting it to be scary or funny, or both. It's not." |

Shoot 'Em Up (2007) |
"Michael Davis' new film asks the question, "What would happen if you took your average action-movie mayhem-a-thon, eliminated all the boring parts (like motivation and character development) and then called it what it is: 'Shoot 'Em Up'?" |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 3/5 |
Shooter (2007) |
"The movie feels like a prelude; and since Swagger is also the protagonist of two other Hunter novels, if this picture flies, they may soon follow it into production. That's a pretty big "if," though." |
Kurt Loder |
Splat 2/5 |
Sicko (2007) |
"What's the problem with government health systems? Moore's movie doesn't ask that question, although it does unintentionally provide several answers." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato |
The Simpsons Movie (2007) |
"I won't blow any of the jokes in "The Simpsons Movie." They're too fresh and funny to give away. I will say that in this very imaginative expatiation of the Simpsons' world, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the president of the United States, which is pretty amus" |
Kurt Loder |

The Skeleton Key (2005) |
"[D]oesn't seem to promise much going in ... but its eerie premise lingers in your mind. It may not qualify as a true ghost story, but it's still pretty haunting." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sky High (2005) |
"[A] pure, sweet pleasure … It's fun. And given its baldly hybrid premise, that's pretty super in itself." |

Smokin' Aces (2007) |
"There are way too many characters to keep track of, they're too cartoonish to care about, and the plot is madly baroque in a most wearisome way." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3/5 |
Snakes on a Plane (2006) |
"In the end, "Snakes on a Plane" isn't so much a movie --- and a good one, in parts --- as it is the concluding installment of a long-building new-media phenomenon." |
Kurt Loder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Sophie Scholl: The Final Days (2005) |
"The director, Marc Rothemund, has kept the unbridled horror of the Nazi
period carefully tamped down ... The prospect of inescapable doom that
hangs over the heads of the three main characters is horrific enough." |
Kurt Loder |

Soul Men (2008) |

Spider-Man 3 (2007) |
"At the screening I attended -- which was packed with real people, not just movie reviewers -- I thought I detected an actual slump of puzzlement at the end, as the movie's final scene sank slowly into a bog of unexpected mush. I'll say no more." |
