Sabrina (1995)

"Has a level of complexity rare in contemporary Hollywood."

Scream 2 (1997)

"Smart and scary like its predecessor, it delivers the shocks and a fair amount of sly wit."

Screwed (2000)

"If this is how they want to squander a hard-earned opportunity, they should keep their day jobs."

"A decent popcorn movie."

Shakespeare in Love (1998)

"The costumes delight, the period evocation in the scenery and photography is rich and pleasing, and the cutting keeps the pace racing forward."

Shall We Kiss? (2008)

Shallow Grave (1995)

"Boyle's cool manner and the performances ultimately ratchet Shallow Grave past the ranks of standard thriller fare."

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

"...an affectionate, often very funny Simpsons parody of its whole eponymous genre. It's a live-action McBane as co-directed by Quentin Tarantino and Chuck Jones.... Shoot 'Em Up is Hot Fuzz gone to the Dark Side."

Show Me Love (1998)

"Moodysson creates a fictional world that has all the aesthetic rawness and grittiness of a documentary."

The Singing Revolution (2007)

"The thrill of this documentary is in the remarkable story of the Little Country That Could."
