Tomato B |
S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"The way I watch this action thriller is as a field guide to perceived current audience tastes in casting, characters, and storytelling style." |

S1m0ne (2002) |
"Niccol smartly contrasts the bland, blond beauty of computer-colored Simone ... with the brunet vividness of Keener." |

S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2004) |
"At a moment when issues of torture loom so large in our world, S21 testifies to the chilling ease with which ordinary men can cross the line into homicidal sadism." |

The Saddest Music in the World (2004) |
"Each frame of Maddin's saga will have yielded a memory of cinemania past, even for those with no clear memory of the old movies that echo in this alluring new one." |

Sade (2002) |

Saint Ralph (2005) |
"It's as if Max Fischer from Rushmore turned, mid-movie, into Billy Elliot." |
Gregory Kirschling |
Tomato B |
Salton Sea (2002) |
"What we see in The Salton Sea, meanwhile, is a twisty, showy, atmosphere-saturated drama that revels (in a post-post-Tarantino- and-Trainspotting way) in sadism and in-your-face seediness -- and attracts a cast of coolios primed to play extreme." |

The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |
"Tim Allen and his team make it look easy, this putting on of ho-ho-hos in such a way that adults may find stocking-stuffer laughs amid the general jingle-bellishness of The Santa Clause 2." |

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) |
"This Styrofoam snowman of a sequel overdoses on its own candy-cane-colored sugary cheer." |

Saraband (2005) |
"As Marianne becomes a bystander to his cruelty, you feel the pull of Bergman's craft, but also the sting of his sourness." |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"When she's on, Silverman, with her willingness to say anything, can be liberating: a bomb-tossing jester in the blasphemous-and-proud-of-it tradition of Lenny Bruce and Howard Stern." |

Satin Rouge (2002) |
"Warm and exotic." |

Savage Grace (2008) |
"Savage Grace has been shot with decadent cool creaminess, yet it's a rather slipshod movie." |

The Savages (2007) |
"The Savages is terrific -- a movie of uncommon appreciation for the nature and nurture that go into making us who we are, a perfectly calibrated drama both compassionate and unsentimental." |

Save Me (2007) |
"Even those of us who find anti-homosexual 'deprogramming' to be hideously intolerant and naive may find ourselves oddly relieved that Mark is there." |

Save the Last Dance (2001) |
"This wan, formulaic teen movie ... is afraid to pump up the volume on its own interracial, hip hop Romeo and Juliet story, lest it challenge even one sedated viewer or disturb the peace." |

Splat D+ |
Saw IV (2007) |
"The reports of torture porn's demise may have been greatly exaggerated, but this fourth entry in the mutilate-yourself-or-die series joins what may be the worst genre of the decade: the lamely ''sympathetic'' serial-killer backstory." |

Saw VI (2009) |
"The Saw series long ago cannibalized its cleverest bloodbath gimmicks, but now it's figured out a new way to torture us: by taking a barb-wire stab at political relevance." |

Say It Isn't So (2001) |
"The movie keeps coming up with new ways to jolt, pelt, humiliate, and generally torture its characters, yet there's so little pace or invention to the way it's all staged that the synthetic mock cruelties barely register as jokes." |
