Tomato 4/5	Saraband (2005)	"Bergman has a sharp talent for observing human conflicts without claiming to fully understand them."	Robert Davis
Tomato 3/5	The Savages (2007)	"Oddly being marketed as a comedy by its distributor, The Savages is best approached as a drama with an intermittently light touch that's generally more of a curse than a boon."	Robert Davis
Tomato 91/100	The Secret of the Grain (2008)	"The Secret of the Grain is one of the most remarkable films of 2008, in part because it masterfully extends certain sequences not only to let them play out before our eyes but also to invite reflection even as the film is still running."	Robert Davis
Tomato 76/100	The September Issue (2009)	"Filmmaker R.J. Cutler demonstrates once again that he -- as well as anybody -- can capture the interpersonal dynamics that drive a team of headstrong individuals. Or at least make us think he has."	Robert Davis
Tomato 69/100	S�raphine (2008)	"During the film I craved energy, but by the end I realized that I just wanted a story that stood a bit closer to its interesting, well-played title character and a bit further from the time-marking events of historical drama."	Robert Davis
Splat 31/100	Seven Pounds (2008)	"Seven Pounds is among the dumbest prestige films to vie for an award in this season of half-baked Oscar contenders. It's a waste of talent, a waste of two earnest performances, and a waste of forty good gallons of water."	Robert Davis
Tomato	Shaolin Soccer (2002)	"It so deliriously riffs on everything from The Bad News Bears and Jurassic Park to super heroes and break dancing that it's hard not to get caught up in the goofy fun."	Robert Davis
Tomato 4.5/5	The Short Life of Jose Antonio Guiterrez (2006)	"With honesty and respect, Heidi Specogna has made neither a shallow tribute nor a polemic. She's made a great film about America."	Robert Davis
Tomato	Sicko (2007)	"For the first time, the targets of Moore's film need not fear the bearded, heavyset man; instead they should be worried about his audience."	Sean Gandert
Tomato 3/5	The Silence (1998)	"The boy's blindness often seems like either a novelty or a symbol; in either case, its falseness weakens the overall effect, even though the film easily has a dozen charming, memorable scenes."	Robert Davis
Tomato	The Simpsons Movie (2007)	"From its very first frame the movie is through and through The Simpsons and its creators have taken the time and care to make this worth a trip to the theater rather than waiting for another syndicated rerun to come on."	Sean Gandert
Splat 26/100	Slacker Uprising (2008)	"Slacker Uprising feels more like a commercial for its maker than any sort of artistic endeavor, and because of the election's outcome, its release is more than a little baffling."	Sean Gandert
Tomato 4.5/5	The Son (2003)	"It's a clear-eyed style of filmmaking reminiscent of The Decalogue or The Bicycle Thief, movies that adopt a raw, bare-bones aesthetic to capture the difficult morality of everyday life."	Robert Davis
Tomato	Son of Rambow (2008)	"The boys' video project is modern enough to stand in contrast to the brick and tweed of the locale, but rather than glossing over that uncomfortable fit, Jennings highlights it with a one-man Flock Of Seagulls."	Robert Davis
Tomato 60/100	Soul Power (2009)	"James Brown and B.B. King anchor this footnote in boxing history, but the film peaks near the midpoint with Bill Withers' truly soulful performance of "Hope She'll Be Happier.""	Robert Davis
Tomato	Southland Tales (2007)	"Although it's by any reasonable means a flawed film, Southland Tales demands watching, if only for its cinematic achievements."	Sean Gandert
Splat	Space Chimps (2008)	"The best that can be said for Space Chimps is that it's utterly undistinguished."	Sean Gandert
Splat	Speed Racer (2008)	"It's hard to fill two hours when your best ideas only last a few seconds apiece, and the shortfall of ingenuity causes the worst possible result: boredom."	Robert Davis
Splat 43/100	Splinter (2008)	"Fans hoping for a substantial work are left with no real statement or vision, while horror aficionados have already seen this film a dozen times before."	Sean Gandert
Tomato 81/100	Star Trek (2009)	"Trek fan or not, only a person who hates action movies entirely could hate Star Trek."	Sean Gandert
Tomato	Step Brothers (2008)	"Despite being perhaps McKay and Ferrell's weakest film yet, it's still a McKay/Ferrell film, and that's enough."	Sean Gandert
Splat	Stop-Loss (2008)	"It strokes every personal ideal, whatever it is, rather than aligning itself with its characters and letting the conclusions arise out of who they are."	Robert Davis
Tomato 60/100	Stranded (2008)	"Once again, the specifics of Uruguayan Air Flight 571 are told well, but a real understanding of what survivors went through is still out of reach."	Sean Gandert
Splat 20/100	Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)	"Singularly witless."	Jeffrey Bloomer
Tomato	Stuck (2007)	"Director Stuart Gordon has insightfully shown the humorous side to a very un-humorous--even heinous--story of our fellow citizens behaving at their absolute worst."	Tim Basham
Tomato 90/100	Sugar (2009)	"Some of the surprise of seeing a major new talent appear from thin air is lost in even a strong sophomore effort, but Boden and Fleck have set and met a high standard for their work. I found it sublime."	Robert Davis
Tomato 74/100	Sukiyaki Western Django (2008)	"It's a perfect execution of its genres and offers enough of a gimmick to maintain interest. Unfortunately, Sukiyaki never rises above its roots and, strangely enough, doesn't actually offer up anything new."	Sean Gandert
Tomato 89/100	Summer Hours (2009)	"It's a lovely meditation on how objects carry history, reflect our decaying bones, and sometimes outlive us, and it's a nice change of pace for Olivier Assayas."	Robert Davis
Tomato 66/100	Sunshine Cleaning (2009)	"Amy Adams impeccable from beginning to end, and her cheerful moxie is proving to be a valuable commodity in film after film, partly because it's deceptive. But there's a better film somewhere inside this story."	Robert Davis
Tomato 3/5	Super Size Me (2004)	"I'm willing to believe Spurlock's hypothesis ... but someday I'd like to see a well-researched documentary as lively as this one on the harmful effects of pseudo-science in the media."	Robert Davis
Tomato	Superbad (2007)	"even if Superbad's not much more than a teen comedy, it's the best teen comedy to come out in at least a decade. There's no shame in that."	Sean Gandert
Splat 50/100	Surveillance (2009)	"Riffs on noir influences with an inquisitive visual style that often drifts from the plot at hand."	Jeffrey Bloomer
Splat	Swing Vote (2008)	"Although it preaches political engagement, it hopes very much to have an audience full of Buds who won't mind when it ambles lazily into the closing credits having taken a stand for nothing whatsoever."	Robert Davis
