Tomato
3/5

Savage Grace (2008)

"Julianne Moore once again puts the acting pedal to the metal. Her absorption into the role actually seems better than the thankless craziness written for the character. She is the highlight of this otherwise expendable film."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4/5

A Serious Man (2009)

"A Serious Man isn't the story of Joel and Ethan Coen's lives. But you might not know it. While the brothers continue to turn their films into Hollywood gold, this 1967-set black comedy is among the more personal projects in their repertoire."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
3.5/5

Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)

"To its voracious universe of cult-following fans, it feels like a TV marathon that spans an entire season. To everyone else who bats an indifferent eye, all the glam and glitz has something even for you to learn, too."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato

Shall We Kiss? (2008)

"A clever dissection of romance and friendship that feels nearly like a French Woody Allen film."

Brian Tallerico

Tomato
3/5

Shine a Light (2008)

"If you love the Stones, this is your concert film. If you're a casual fan or first-timer, strap in for a long performance that breaks the show-business rule of always leaving the audience wanting more."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
3/5

Shoot 'Em Up (2007)

"While it's easy to curse Hollywood after watching this film with grumbling words like 'ridiculous,' 'oh, come on!' and 'utterly unrealistic,' remember: director Michael Davis clearly wasn't trying to be realistic."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
3.5/5

Shrek the Third (2007)

"Shrek the Third, which vigilantly flirts with the grey matter between child's play and adult humor, creates curious questions for children while bringing back beloved characters for another joyride in Far Far Away."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4/5

The Simpsons Movie (2007)

"If you combine all important elements into one 87-minute 'PG-13' film, will you have what Comic Book Guy would call the ... Best. Episode. Ever?"

Adam Fendelman

Splat
.5/5

Sleepwalking (2008)

"The direction is hackneyed with all-ponderous close-ups to guess the character's 'deep,' inner thoughts. It was unquestionably 'sleepwalking,' which is a perfect description of any audience member who chooses to walk out on this one."

Adam Fendelman

Splat
2.5/5

Smart People (2008)

"Smart People was supposed to be comedic drama with a splash of romance. Instead, I have been misled. It's a blandly scripted "poor me" with an attempt at a plot and some glitzy Hollywood names thrown in for good box-office measure."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4/5

Snow Angels (2008)

"Snow Angels is an essential examination of dreams deferred through a darkness that lies dormant in the yin and yang of our vulnerable lives. While it's a difficult film to absorb, it's always absorbing."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4/5

Son of Rambow (2008)

"This is a must-see film that will not only touch your heart but also your funny bone. It's refreshing to find two filmmakers who have so much passion and boyhood spirit involved in their filmmaking processes."

Adam Fendelman

-

Soul Men (2008)

"This is the first Soul Men production still with Samuel L. Jackson, the recently deceased Bernie Mac and the recently deceased Isaac Hayes."

Adam Fendelman

Splat
2.5/5

Southland Tales (2007)

"Unlike the world, Southland Tales starts with a bang but ends with a whimper. Richard Kelly's opus of a film is little more than sensory overload meant to look like a political statement on the state of privacy, the war, news and celebrities."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
4/5

Space Chimps (2008)

"The beauty of this rather conventional, kiddy adventure is that it revels in not taking anything seriously. The script is peppered with stupid physical comedy, silly puns and dry witticisms on the concepts of space and monkeys."

Adam Fendelman

Splat
2.5/5

Speed Racer (2008)

"While Hollywood slapped 'PG' on Speed Racer to line its pocketbooks with the widest hodgepodge of people (ahem: kids), those same kids will leave the theater with that lollipop nearly sucked to the stick but then yanked away with confusion."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
3.5/5

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

"There were more subplots meringued together than a single film can eat. With a twinge more fluff whipped in, this could have easily been Spider-Man 4, too."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
3.5/5

Standard Operating Procedure (2008)

"Director Errol Morris tackled the Iraqi prison subject -- among the mass of recent Iraq war documentaries -- because he 'wasn't sure anyone else would tell it if I didn't tell it'."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato
3.5/5

Stephen King's The Mist (2007)

"A stable of strong supporting characters often makes a film whole and one may even eclipse a lead. Marcia Gay Harden takes the cake over Thomas Jane in The Mist as a hysterical religious vessel."

Adam Fendelman

Splat
1.5/5

The Strangers (2008)

"The good thing about the three masked intruders is that they stay masked. This saves their careers. Unfortunately, the same can't be said for Scott Speedman. He reacts to every scary indignation as if he was being checked for fleas."

Adam Fendelman

Tomato

Sunshine Cleaning (2009)

"It's rare, but sometimes one talented star can make any project shine. Amy Adams is that talented."

Brian Tallerico

Splat
1/5

Sydney White (2007)

"The unconquerable cake for must-miss movie of the year goes to Sydney White."
