Sacco & Vanzetti (2007) |
"This damning documentary is likely to strike an emotional chord with those naive enough not to know that the criminal justice system has always been stacked in favor of the rich, the white, and the well-connected." |

The Salon (2005) |
"Rare indeed, for women to talk back and take over the screen, and these sisters aren't putting up with any of it, from bourgie sellouts and the white girl thing, to decking a local pimp. Way to go, babee!" |
Prairie Miller |
Tomato |
Sam's Lake (2009) |
"Sufficiently subtle and tasteful carnage, if those are suitably chosen words for what's in store. And the females, whether with good or bad intentions, rise above the usual scream queen hottie in distress roles, to flex their rough stuff too." |

Savage Grace (2008) |
"Be forewarned, watching this movie about the frustrated, bored to tears existence of the elite, can be contagious. A depressing and meaningless, smutty glimpse into the depraved family lives of stuffy designer couch potatoes." |

The Savages (2007) |
"Laura Linney and Philip Seymour Hoffman never disappoint, disappearing into roles which fit like gloves." |

The Savages (2007) |
"A maudlin, slice-of-life drama for which Laura Linney landed her third Oscar nomination. If only the film's prevailing tone were optimistic rather than funereal, there might be more of a reason to recommend this downer." |
Kam Williams |
Tomato |
The Savages (2007) |
"Hoffman, Linney and Bosco together generate such magnificent performances projecting a richly textured sense of the agony and ecstasy of a family in complicated meltdown, that it feels about as close to shared DNA as you can get." |

Saw VI (2009) |
"Revenge of the uninsured in this health insurance horror, and we're not talking medical malpractice. While death panels and death penalties alike abound in this surgical slasher spree without benefit of anesthesia, and that goes for the audience too." |

The Sensation of Sight (2008) |
"David Strathairn's Finn is the nearly broken, perplexed, downcast, and also oddly humorous Chaplinesque figure, whose own transformative experienced 'sensation of sight' imparts a tentative metaphorical healing vision of a restored life." |

Severed Ways (2009) |

Sex Drive (2008) |
"A libidinous road movie with outlandish auto-erotic components in more ways than one, Sex Drive is evidently engaged in a grossing contest with other more dirty talk than action raging hormone romps." |

Sex Drive (2008) |
"A more dirty talk than action auto-erotic road movie boasting horny Amish party animals and trailer park testicles. And likely a more effective public service enticement than sex education classes, for inspiring extreme abstinence." |
