Tomato 2.5 |
Sahara (2005) |

Christian Toto |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Savages (2007) |
"The Savages proves there's a rich vein of humor to be mined from the darkest of themes." |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Saved! (2004) |

Christian Toto |
Splat 1.5/4 |

Christian Toto |
Splat 2/4 |
Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) |
"Scooby-Doo 2 improves on the original, but that's not saying very much at all" |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Secret Window (2004) |
"Depp's Window turns a typical King yarn into a rewarding psychological portrait" |
Christian Toto |
Splat .5/4 |

Serenity (2005) |
"The funny, adventurous Serenity proves there is life after cancellation." |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 4/4 |
A Serious Man (2009) |
"It's a movie that rewards repeat viewings: Go in with an open mind the first time and a more focused mind the second and reap the rewards." |
Sonny Bunch |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Seven Pounds (2008) |
"The ending will divide viewers. Some will shed tears, others will be outraged. It's a bold artistic choice, but one of questionable morality." |
Sonny Bunch |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Severance (1988) |
"Severance finds inspiration where horror and comedy intersect." |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Sex and the City - The Movie (2008) |

Christian Toto |
Tomato 3/4 |

Christian Toto |
Splat 2/4 |
Shutter (2008) |
"Shutter features another pale, scraggly haired young woman a la The Ring haunting our protagonists. Yawn." |
Christian Toto |
Splat 2/4 |
Sick Nurses |
"Sick Nurses dispenses with such formalities as character and plot to give us the goods -- creepy crawlies stripped from The Ring and other Asian horror flicks." |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Sideways (2004) |
"Sideways cements Alexander Payne's status as one of our best directors" |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sin City (2005) |
"It's hard to fathom a more faithful comic to movie transfer than the gloriously violent Sin City" |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Slammin' Salmon (2009) |
"Although it's a little slow at the outset and occasionally a trifle predictable, The Slammin' Salmon is still a rollickin' time at the theater." |
Sonny Bunch |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Sleepover (2004) |
"The characters in this Sleepover should be grounded" |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Sleepwalking (2008) |
"Fine performances - including a nasty turn by Dennis Hopper - rouse Sleepwalking from its slumber." |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Slumdog Millionaire (2008) |
"Slumdog Millionaire immerses the audience in an alien landscape and shows it through the eyes of a young man fighting against history and his own culture's expectations." |
Sonny Bunch |
Splat 2/4 |
Smart People (2008) |
"Smart People serves up everything you'd want in a shrewd indie picture but is strangely inert." |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Spanglish (2004) |
"Spanglish translates into an overly earnest dramedy from a filmmaker who should know better" |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Speed Racer (2008) |
"Speed Racer provides an exhilirating, albeit exhausting, ride through our pop culture past." |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |

"Spider-Man 2 is double the romance and one half the slam-bang action" |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) |
"Just because The Spiderwick Chronicles isn't an insta-classic doesn't mean it's not a fine time at the movies." |
Christian Toto |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Spinning into Butter (2009) |
"Spinning Into Butter is the perfect example of a movie taking an interesting premise and, through incompetence of acting, writing and directing, turning it into an unwatchable mess." |
Sonny Bunch |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Spongebob Squarepants Movie (2004) |
"This big-screen SpongeBob won't win over many new fans" |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 3.5/4 |

Christian Toto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Stealth (2005) |
"Stealth offers the kind of razzle dazzle action Michael Bay only thinks he creates." |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Step Brothers (2008) |
"Step Brothers is like watching someone get kicked in the groin for 90 minutes, but it still makes us laugh." |
Christian Toto |
Splat 2/4 |
Street Kings (2008) |
"Street Kings wastes a better than expected turn by Keanu Reeves. That means he never says the word 'dude' or breaks into a mean air guitar riff." |
Christian Toto |
Splat 1/5 |
Stroker Ace (1983) |
No article available. |
Christian Toto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sugar (2009) |
"Though a little long at two hours, Sugar is a treat for any serious student of baseball." |
Sonny Bunch |
Splat 2/4 |
Surrogates (2009) |
"A twisty whodunit that is never quite believable or satisfying, especially when [Willis] tries to re-connect with the humanity he has lost by living such a sheltered life." |
Sonny Bunch |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street (2007) |
"We all knew Johnny Depp could act. The brilliantly imagined Sweeney Todd shows he can sing, too." |
Christian Toto |
Splat 2/5 |
Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971) |
""Song" broke ground for minorities, not for filmmaking" |
Christian Toto |
Splat 2/4 |
Swing Vote (2008) |
"Swing Vote seems to be suggesting that the voter deserves a better class of candidate; allow me to suggest that the viewer deserves a better class of film." |
Sonny Bunch |
Splat 2/4 |
Sydney White (2007) |
"Audiences will identify more with Sydney White's misfit cast than its bland leading lady." |
Christian Toto |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Synecdoche, New York (2008) |
"Inaccessible and endlessly frustrating, Synecdoche is replete with art-house pomposity and the type of muddled profundity one sees in an introductory philosophy seminar." |
Sonny Bunch |
