S.W.A.T. (2003) |

S1m0ne (2002) |

Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B+ |

The Saddest Music in the World (2004) |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"There are a number of wonderfully wicked lines, but overall the movie feels slack and self-indulgent, more of a decent HBO special that's being asked to do more than it can." |

Saving Grace (2000) |
"There is nothing profound in this movie, but it shines through so many of this summer's dumb Hollywood comedies like a beacon through a haze of smoke." |

Saving Silverman (2001) |
"Something quite rare: a 90-minute comedy without a single laugh. Not one single one." |

School for Scoundrels (2006) |

The Science of Sleep (2006) |

The Scorpion King (2002) |
"For all the money spent on The Scorpion King (roughly $60 million), mostly for CGI effects ... the movie lacks bite." |

The Sea Inside (2004) |

Seabiscuit (2003) |

Secret Window (2004) |
"Secret Window, a hack job patched together from bits of Stephen King's earlier, better stories, is such a cheeseball it ultimately subverts even Depp's considerable charm and talent." |

The Sentinel (2006) |
"The Sentinel is one of those well-oiled-machine movies from Hollywood that's slick in an inoffensive way, efficient in a give-the-viewers-what-they-want way. It has no personality per se, but that's what a picture like this is all about." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
Serendipity (2001) |
"A series of near misses and close calls which you'll either find delightful or irritating, depending on your tolerance for whimsical romance." |

Shadow of the Vampire (2000) |
"An ingenious, diabolical, probably libelous, funhouse of a movie." |
