Tomato

Sahara (2005)

"Mightily agreeable foolishness ... one of the few cases where the phrase, "the book was better," actually doesn't apply."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Saraband (2005)

"A natural coda to a lifetime of shockingly clear-eyed bitterness ... Staggering out of the theater, sunlight feels like a novelty."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Saving Face (2005)

"Enlivened throughout by the director's ability to document her native community's unique quirks without ever quite falling into Greek Wedding grotesquery."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Seeker (2007)

"Devotees of the source material will no doubt grouse at the liberties taken, but [Ian] McShane does what he can to keep the torches and pitchforks at bay."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Seraphim Falls (2007)

"For devotees of gonad cinema, there may not be a better time to be had at the movies right now than the first 20-ish minutes of Seraphim Falls."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Serenity (2005)

"Whedon's six-gun space oddity comes recommended, but you may want to brush up on the series before venturing into the theater."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of Romeo Dallaire (2005)

"[Dallaire] makes for a fascinating focal point ... a fundamentally decent man, cursed with a horribly total recall. He can't stop seeing it."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Shine a Light (2008)

"Never aims for transcendence, settling instead for really, really good ... the overriding impression is of a bunch of legendary deviants content to remain in showman mode."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Short Films of David Lynch (1966)

"If your tastes run toward the undiluted weirdness of Eraserhead, nirvana awaits. Hard as it is to believe, he's getting stranger, all the time."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Shrek the Third (2007)

"A blockbuster phenomenon that wouldn't exist without the efforts of other films, and somehow smugly pats itself on the back for it."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Silent Hill (2006)

"[The] first frigged-up, terrifyingly nonsensical hour ... generates a wealth of shivery imagery that I won't be able to soon forget. But, Lord, I think I may want to."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Simpsons Movie (2007)

"Manages to feel like a pretty good extended episode from somewhere around the show's golden era ... I'm not booing, I'm saying Boo-urns."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Skills Like This (2009)

"A Scrappy Little Indie Odyssey"

Lindy West

Tomato

Sky Blue (2005)

"Thankfully ... ditches much of the ersatz philosophy and concentrates on pure explodo."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Smokin' Aces (2007)

"The sum feels significantly less than its parts ... It's hard to think of a decent payoff to the glorious chaos Carnahan whips up in the first two acts, short of the earth itself exploding."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Speed Racer (2008)

"An immense, Otter Pop colored nostalgic thing that expends so much energy replicating every last widget and geegaw from its source that it forgets to be, you know, fun."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Squid and the Whale (2005)

"One of those rare films in which everything feels right ... [with an] underlying witty melancholy that suggests a filmmaker fully locked into his groove."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Stay (2005)

"Forster's symbolism goes from clever to exasperating to, finally, sort of klutzily endearing — the work of a gifted art student who can't resist piling on the glitter."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Steamboy (2005)

"Exhausting ... While [Otomo's] return from the wilderness is certainly cause for celebration, it’s hard not to wish that he had spent a little more time tightening things up."

Andrew Wright

Sunshine (2007)

"Interview with Danny Boyle"

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Sunshine (2007)

"The term "visionary" gets batted around a lot when it comes to the sci-fi genre, but in its final, blazing moments, Boyle's dazzling, triphoppy space opera comes closer than most."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Superman Returns (2006)

"Reverent to the point of stasis."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2005)

"Park's worldview is grotty to such extremes that it becomes hard to recommend [this] in good conscience, no matter how virtuosic the delivery."

Andrew Wright
