S1m0ne (2002) |
"Simone is brilliantly creative and hilarious, a wild and silly farce that holds nothing back in its gutsy attempt to abandon every ounce of sanity..." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |
"The Santa Clause 2 is quite the delightful little holiday experience, packed tightly with visual treasures, neat little characters, and the occasional in-joke that the adults will take a liking to" |
David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saving Private Ryan (1998) |
"A good movie, but, like Amistad, it has its problems." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Saw (2004) |
"This is the kind of scare-fest that gets under your skin but is too busy elsewhere to penetrate your defenses." |
David Keyes |
Splat 2/4 |
Scary Movie (2000) |
"The Wayans brothers have admitted to watching up to a dozen different popular films to help inspire their spoof, but where exactly is the inspiration?" |
David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Scream (1996) |
"It breaks new ground, and hopefully, it opens us up to new formulas and creative situations in these movies." |

Secret Window (2004) |
"By the end of Secret Window, I was too busy being amused by the film's undeniable sense of thrills to care that much about the flaws." |
David Keyes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Secretary (2002) |
"Secretary operates on a level devoid of any plausibility or satisfaction. It's cold, overly-calculated, tasteless and meaningless in nearly every way possible." |

Shakespeare in Love (1998) |
"The writing is brilliant; the acting is masterful; the direction is breathtaking; the costumes are beautiful; and every little detail in the film is charming and witty." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Shanghai Knights (2003) |
"The movie is hardly breathtaking or a completely successful endeavor, but considering what's been stinking up the box office over the recent weeks, it's quite a respectable diversion nonetheless." |
David Keyes |
Splat 2/4 |
Shark Tale (2004) |
"The overall tone of the film lacks accessibility, and much of the humor is so dry that even those who might get the jokes are not likely to find them very funny." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shattered Glass (2003) |
"...not a very theatrical film, but still concise and taut without being skimpy on necessary traits." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
She's All That (1998) |
"It's funny, observant, and sometimes charming, especially during the scenes shared by Prinze and Cook." |
David Keyes |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Shining (1980) |
"Kubrick’s showcase of abilities, both with the camera and his characters, are incomparably haunting." |
David Keyes |

The Sixth Sense (1999) |
"Here is a movie of long, mind-numbing, tiresome proportions and a brilliant conclusion. No one, however, should be forced to endure all the heartache just for five minutes of audacious footage." |
David Keyes |
Splat 0/4 |
The Skulls (2000) |
"It’s amazing that so many viewers were still seated by the time the end credits began to roll." |

Snake Eyes (1998) |
"After the premise settles in the dust just as it should, the movie crumbles into one big mess where the characters spurt out some incredibly dumb dialogue and act like they are in some sort of Spice Girls music video." |

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) |
"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs may not be the 'fairest of them all,' but being the very first of them all is reason enough to admire the effort." |

Solaris (2002) |

Sphere (1998) |
"It is an annoying and distracting movie, where the actors lose all of their prospect for existing, and the story loses all faith in the material and gives up just as it seems to begin." |

"...one of the most exhilarating (and silly) screen adventures ever to be inspired by the pages of a Marvel comic." |

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002) |

"An ideal, convincing finale for this franchise." |

Tomato 4/4 |
State and Main (2000) |
"...manages to be one of the most brilliant films of 2000: a satirical, edgy and sweet comedy in which every person, detail and camera shot is of complete significance." |
