Sahara (2005) |
"Sahara won't be competing for any Oscars, but it is goofy, light-hearted fun." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Santa Clause (1994) |
"A fun Christmas tale." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat .5/4 |
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) |
"so bad, it makes me want to convert and celebrate Hanukah this year." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Santa vs. the Snowman (2002) |
"one twisted, hilarious and visually stunning IMAX 3D short film that could stand toe-to-toe with the wackiest episode of South Park (minus the vulgarity)" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Saved! (2004) |
"Saved is a 50-50 proposition. While you won't be moved strongly to love it or hate it, you'll wish you could be pushed in some direction.

Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Saw (2004) |
"Whannell and Wan ... come up with some of the most twisted stuff you have never imagined." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Saw II (2005) |
"Saw II almost was a total loss until the end, which almost saves the movie." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"Scary Movie 4's biggest challenge is trying to stay relevant and original, and these writers could never be accused of being original" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"Thornton seems bored by the whole movie." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat .5/4 |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"one of those movies art house lovers will champion, but the film drives me mad with efforts that end up being too cute by half, if they were ever cute in the first place." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) |
"Most of Scooby Doo 2 is kind of dumb ... better than the first" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Scoop (2006) |
"too much kvetching and not enough mystery" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Secret Life of Bees (2008) |
"A movie that knows exactly what it wants to be and mines that territory until you start to cry, whether you want to or not" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat .5/4 |
The Seeker (2007) |
"This might be the first movie where I hoped I would fall asleep in the middle" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Semi-Pro (2008) |
"So clichéd it becomes the movie it is supposed to mock" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Sentinel (2006) |
"Fun, action packed movie that starts off as a complex mystery, but devolves into an implausible chase movie. Then, you realize it doesn't matter because you are enjoying yourself." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Serenity (2005) |
"I can't believe I am saying this, but I think Serenity could be the new Star Wars." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
A Serious Man (2009) |
"A Serious Man is no more special than a Jennifer Aniston movie." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Seven Pounds (2008) |
"After watching an enthralling, emotional movie, I was left wondering why it has to come to this conclusion." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Sex and the City - The Movie (2008) |
"There is a strange correlation between Carrie's hair color and the quality of the movie. When she dyes it brown, it reminds you no one should have asked what brown can do for her." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Shaggy Dog (2006) |
"It's a wonderful, funny and sweet movie the family can enjoy" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |

"If your kid sees the comic side of mafia vengeance killing, the whole family will have a great time" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Shaun of the Dead (2004) |
"the film is brilliantly subversive and funny with great reactions from Pegg and Frost as they portray the two most idiotic zombie fighters ever seen on film." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
She's The Man (2006) |
"we get treated to more mistaken identities than a bad episode of Three's Company (a Cindy Snow/Jenilee Harrison-era episode, not the classic comedy of Suzanne Somers)." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sherlock Holmes (2009) |
"The people who made Did You Hear About The Morgans? probably wish they cast Downey and Law instead of Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shine a Light (2008) |
"If the sight of 60-year old wrinkly guys strutting around and shaking their booties induces reverse peristalsis, go watch Hannah Montana. This is the only chance for most of us to afford front row tickets to a Rolling Stones concert." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shoot 'Em Up (2007) |
"ludicrous, ridiculous, campy and wildly over the top, which is just the way it should be." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shooter (2007) |
"A thrilling action movie because director Antoine Fuqua knows how to blow stuff up and Marky Mark knows how to kick some booty!" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Shopgirl (2005) |
"don't go to Shopgirl looking for a romantic comedy or fairy tale. Martin doesn't glamorize the lives and decisions of the characters." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Shrek 2 (2004) |
"Shrek 2 is one of the great movies of all time." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Shrek the Third (2007) |
"Shrek The Third is a funny visit with familiar characters that will make you laugh, but you don't leave hoping for a fourth." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 0/4 |
Shutter (2008) |
"A flat, boring, lifeless movie pro-environmental groups ought to protest as a waste of natural resources. Perhaps 20th Century Fox could give some free popcorn to people who buy tickets to their next movie." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.75/4 |
Sicko (2007) |
"It will bring out the Michael Moore haters. It will have people taking legitimate shots at its logic. However, you can't deny SiCKO is an entertaining and thought provoking movie." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Sideways (2004) |
"Sideways is a better film as you actively engage it, examine the characters, ... and think about what each one is going through.
" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Simpsons Movie (2007) |
"Could this adventure be as great as jumping Springfield Gorge? Those visits from Sideshow Bob? Ralph choo choo choosing Lisa? Yes. Worst episode ever? No." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Sin City (2005) |
"Any movie that makes Brittany Murphy palatable must be amazing... the first true successor to Pulp Fiction." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) |
"AKA Steel Magnolias with Training Wheels ... it's surprisingly engaging" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) |
"This movie isn't made for me, so I hate it. I guess I need more explosions or grown men wearing superhero costumes to be more interested." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Skeleton Key (2005) |
"has enough tension and scares to keep you interested until it delivers a fantastic ending" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Sketches of Frank Gehry (2006) |
"Pollack is too friendly with his subject (almost to the point of having a man crush on Gehry), so the theme of Sketches of Frank Gehry is reduced to, 'I think Frank Gehry is super awesome, and you should, too'" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) |
"Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow is a fun, exciting, visually stunning film that falls just short of brilliant." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 2/4 |
Sky High (2005) |
"It's Harry Potter meets The Incredibles minus the memorable characters, hearty laughs, great writing and all around movie goodness." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 0/4 |
Sleepover (2004) |
"Every theater in America should be banned from selling tickets for Sleepover to any person over the age of 14." |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 0/4 |
Sleepwalking (2008) |
"This entire movie is a country music song, and not one of the classics by Johnny Cash or Willie Nelson. I was waiting for them to get a pet dog, but be forced to give him the Old Yeller treatment!" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Slither (2006) |
"Writer/director James Gunn knows the genre inside and out, so he wonderfully uses bad dialogue, cheesy special effects and a crazy plot to share the laugh with us" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Smart People (2008) |
"You have to wade through too much muck to find the treasures in Smart People" |
Willie Waffle |
Splat 1/4 |
Smokin' Aces (2007) |
"could have been a super cool Martin Scorsese movie, but in the hands of writer/director Joe Carnahan, it just stinks." |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Snakes on a Plane (2006) |
"I don't know if snakes have a booty, but I know Samuel L. Jackson kicks some in this campy classic! I even thought I saw some Homeland Security guys in the crowd taking notes, just in case.
" |
Willie Waffle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Soloist (2009) |
"Congratulations Jamie Foxx! You are so good in this movie, I almost want to forgive you for Miami Vice. Almost" |
