Tomato B-	Sacco & Vanzetti (2007)	"Surprisingly, this is the first nonfiction film to tackle the subject and Miller manages to find the parallels to contemporary times without being too pedantic or heavy-handed."	Ted Murphy
Splat D	School for Scoundrels (2006)	"None of the actors can save this weak script nor survive the tepid direction."	Ted Murphy
Splat C+	The Science of Sleep (2006)	"THE SCIENCE OF SLEEP has some magical moments, butjust as the protagonist struggles with finding a place that can integrate his dream life with reality, the movie fights against itself and eventually leaves the audience as the loser."	Ted Murphy
Tomato B	The Secret Life of Words (2006)	"Coixet's screenplay may be a little slow in spots and someof the supporting characters are not very well drawn, but the spotlight is on the two leads, and both Robbins and Polley come through. There's some twee voiceover that mars the film's beginning and"	Ted Murphy
Splat C-	Seraphim Falls (2007)	"The best thing about Seraphim Falls is the extraordinary cinematography by Academy Award winner John Toll."	Ted Murphy
Splat C+	Sherrybaby (2006)	"Like Vera Farmiga in DOWN TO THE BONE, Gyllenhaal creates a full-bodied portrait of a woman struggling with addictions. And like Felicity Huffman in TRANSAMERICA, Gyllenhaal elevates a flawed motion picture to a higher level."	Ted Murphy
Tomato B+	Shortbus (2006)	"Mitchell worked with his cast to develop the various stories and the improvisatory effort may not have resulted in a Mike Leigh sort of drama but it has yielded wondrous moments. The cast is very good with the best performances coming from Lee as Sofia (w"	Ted Murphy
Tomato B+	ShowBusiness: The Road to Broadway (2007)	"This is a film that will appeal to anyone who is an aficionado of the theater or of show music."	Ted Murphy
Tomato B+	Shut Up & Sing (2006)	"What emerges is something of a cautionary tale for artistsand should spark discussions about exactly what the principles of free speech as guaranteed in the Constitution mean."	Ted Murphy
Tomato C	Sing Now Or Forever Hold Your Peace (2007)	"The cast veers from overly theatrical (Rogers) to amusing (Molly Shannon as Ted's wife Shannon, a woman who speaks her mind without thinking about the consequences) to spot on (Harbour, DeWitt, Basche, and several others)."	Ted Murphy
Tomato B-	The Situation (2007)	"The Situation is by no means a perfect movie, but it does tackle difficult issues and makes clear that there are no easy answers."	Ted Murphy
Tomato C+	Smokin' Aces (2007)	"Carnahan does show a flair for staging some spectacular sequences, and he does manage to get some good performances out of his large, colorful cast."	Ted Murphy
Splat C-	Snow Cake (2007)	"in the end, it's as viable as its titular confection: pretty to look at but cold."	Ted Murphy
Splat C	Soap (2006)	"While I might want to applaud Fischer Christensen for attempting to say something pertinent about gender roles and stereotypes, there is something curiously lacking in the characters."	Ted Murphy
Tomato B-	Spider-Man 3 (2007)	"SPIDER-MAN 3 is kicking off the summer movie season and doing it with a bang"	Ted Murphy
Tomato B-	Starter For 10 (2007)	"enjoyable if lightweight entertainment"	Ted Murphy
Tomato B-	Stephanie Daley (2007)	"not a great deal that is dramatic happens in the film, but it is that accrual of small details that fleshes out who these people are."	Ted Murphy
Tomato B	Sweet Land (2006)	"Some of Sweet Land is very predictable, some of it is surprising. What holds the audience's interest are the performances and Selim's solid direction."	Ted Murphy
Tomato B	Syndromes and A Century (2007)	"If you allow the film to wash over you, it can be appreciated as an essay on the power of memory."	Ted Murphy
