Tomato 3/4 |
The Savages (2007) |
"It could have been shortened a bit, I didn't think the material was enough for almost two hours, but if you enjoy dramedy's like SIDEWAYS, give it a try." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Saw IV (2007) |
"I do wish that these movies were well made, because I actually think the premises are quite clever, but unless a veteran who is more confident in his abilities takes over, we are left with what could have been..." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 1/4 |
Saw V (2008) |
"Now I can officially say that the SAW franchise has run out of gas. Everything and everyone is just going through the motions here." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Secret Life of Bees (2008) |
"This does have strong work from Fanning and Hudson, but it's just a TV movie with spruced up production values for the big screen." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Semi-Pro (2008) |
"Coming from someone that didn't like Ferrell's last few comedies, I can say that this is an improvement." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Sex and the City - The Movie (2008) |
"I will be up front about this. The movie was not made for me, so I found it pretty insignificant. But it's also quite painless." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Sex Drive (2008) |
"Another attempt at being the latest hip,raunchy comedy. And... it rises far above the other impersonators and rip-offs. This movie surprised me in every way." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Shelter (2008) |
"It feels like it's written by a film school freshman that's trying to be innovative, but everything feels forced and flat." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Shine a Light (2008) |
"I had a great time, and if you are actually a Stones fan, then you'll love it even more than I did." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shorts (2009) |
"This is a movie only an 8 year old could make up, or Robert who seems to be insanely connected to his kids. And that's a wonderful thing." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat .5/4 |
Shrooms (2006) |
"Besides a few swell looking shots, this movie is just garbage." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat .5/4 |
Shutter (2008) |
"Yeah, this movie is a must avoid." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 (2008) |
"In the end it has a nice lesson about life and friendship, but man! The trip there is so superficial and sappy that it's not much fun at all." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sleepwalking (2008) |
"If you enjoyed MONSTER'S BALL (it's not as good as that one however), you might find yourself pulled in by this moving drama." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Slumdog Millionaire (2008) |
"I think it's a good movie, but I think the real reason it's getting all this acclaim is that it's just the right time for a movie like this. Everyone loves an underdog and with all the crap going on in the world right now, people are going to embrace it." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2/4 |
Smart People (2008) |
"It wanders all over the place before ending abruptly. With the talent involved, it seems like such a waste." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Snow Angels (2008) |
"It's a hard movie to sit through at times, but if you're a fan of the actors, especially Rockwell, I believe you will find it a rewarding experience." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Son of Rambow (2008) |
"SON OF RAMBOW is full of ideas and imagination, but I think Jennings buries himself with all of his ambition." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2/4 |
Soul Men (2008) |
"This is a perfect example of what happens when you try to combine 2 dramatically different tones into one movie." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 1/4 |
Space Chimps (2008) |
"Maybe I've been spoiled because WALL-E and KUNG FU PANDA were so good, but this is just garbage." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Speed Racer (2008) |
"I'm not sure exactly who the audience for this is and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't disappointed, but it's a fun and wild ride that is unlike anything in theaters right now." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008) |
"This movie didn't really blow me away, but it was mildly enjoyable and should keep all of the fantasy fans happy" |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Spread (2009) |
"There are a few elaborate stedi-cam shots that were pretty outstanding. It's too bad that nothing interesting was happening during these shots." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Step Brothers (2008) |
"This isn't your Adam Sandler watered down comedy. It's raunchy, vulgar, rude, mean-spirited, and funny as hell." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Step Up 2 the Streets (2008) |
"This isn't a very good movie, but it's probably the best of it's kind." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Stop-Loss (2008) |
"The film gets pretty heavy handed in the last third and is weighed down by an inadequate performance." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Stranded (2008) |
"It's more disturbing than a fiction film could get. If you love true-life survival stories... this is the ultimate one! Unbelievable!" |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Strange Wilderness (2008) |
"I would say 20% of the jokes work and the rest fell flat!" |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Strangers (2008) |
"Though most of the movie was efficient, it felt empty." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Street Kings (2008) |
"I don't think there were really any bad scenes, but I found the overall film emotionally empty." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 1/4 |
Summer Palace (2008) |
"Now I don't mind movies that have the pace of a snail, but nothing freakin' happens in this movie. Nothing!" |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Superhero Movie! (2008) |
"Even though the movie made me laugh hard during some scenes, it's wildly uneven!" |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Surfwise (2008) |
"Doug Pray, has made a fascinating look at a man who not only was a great revolutionary, but a pure human being." |
Austin Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Swing Vote (2008) |
"It's funny, sad, involving, and very well made. This is one of the big surprises of the summer." |
Austin Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Synecdoche, New York (2008) |
"Kaufman does all he can to throw in enough details to confuse the viewer, to the point of headache-inducing irritation." |
Austin Kennedy |
