Saving Face (2005)

"This indie film's wrong turns include a feel-good finish as phony as any Hollywood ending."

Saw V (2008)

"Saw V may still have the power to make audiences squirm, but only for the most obvious reasons."

The Secret Garden (1993)

"Agnieszka Holland and cinematographer Roger Deakins orchestrate the film's blossoming of human and plant life with care, transcending Hollywood's typical family fare."

"A not-ready-for-primetime tale that should have stayed on the bench."

The Serpent and the Rainbow (1987)

"A trippy, guilty pleasure."

Shall We Dance? (2004)

"Richard Gere slips into his dancing shoes again for a romantic comedy of sorts that's anything but swift on its feet."

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

"For the satirically inclined, many chuckles are found in the run-up to the survivors' late-in-the-film, unfunny desperation. "

"No one needs a telephoto lens to see what's coming in Shutter."

The Simpsons Movie (2007)

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)

"Despite some soapy scenes, this adaptation of Ann Brashares' best-selling teen novel holds touching drama."

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)

"Elaborately conceived and beautifully executed, the movie's a great marriage of fantastical, old-fashioned storytelling and new technology."

Something New (2006)

"New Orleans native produced Something New."

Soul Men (2008)

"Nothing great comedy or drama happens in Soul Men. The pleasure comes in seeing Samuel L. Jackson and the late Bernie Mac do their stuff."

Speed Racer (2008)

"Speed Racer is more Toy Story than Days of Thunder. That could be a good thing, but, in this case, it isn't."

Star Trek (2009)

"The greatest prequel ever told."

Stealth (2005)

"Has little more than color and motion going for it."

Stranger Than Fiction (2006)

"This is Will Ferrell's Being John Malkovich or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, but not as good as either of those other comedies of the mind."

Sunshine (2007)

"While Sunshine echoes some previous films, especially 2001: A Space Odyssey and Alien, Danny Boyle imprints his distinctive mark. This visionary director from Manchester, England, may be on his way to being one of moviemaking's greats"

Superhero Movie! (2008)

"This year's Superhero Movie isn't as epically bad as last year's Epic Movie, but it does provide more evidence that the spoof genre is tapped out."

Surf's Up (2007)

"Not enough wit for parents and not enough action and comedy for kids."

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

"A wickedly entertaining blood feast."
