S.W.A.T. (2003)

"There's a good movie hidden beneath the prosaic rubbish we've been served up. Unfortunately, no matter how far we dig, we'll never be able to reach it."

Sanjuro (1962)

"One of Kurosawa's lesser works, but still well worth a rental."

The Santa Clause (1994)

"A friend and I go to a 'sort of trashy' movie every Christmas. This was less trashy than most."

Saw (2004)

"While it doesn't live up to its reputation of being one of the most disturbing horror films ever made, it does have its fair share of deliciously twisted moments."

Saw III (2006)

"Makes the first two look about as intimidating as a child's six piece jigsaw puzzle. This is for the hardcore horror fan and for the hardcore horror fan only."

Scary Movie 2 (2001)

"Scary Movie 2 is a simple rehash of the original, wrapped up in all the same mistakes, and misfires."

Scenes From a Mall (1991)

"Again proving Woody Allen should stick with Woody Allen movies."

Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost (1999)

"Another nearly flawless attempt at recapturing Doo of yore."

The Scorpion King (2002)

"Elicits more groans from the audience than Jar Jar Binks, Scrappy Doo and Scooby Dumb, all wrapped up into one."

Scrooged (1988)

"Good idea that never fully plays itself out."

Season of the Witch (1976)

"Bad"

See No Evil, Hear No Evil (1989)

"You'd do well following this film's advice - don't see or hear it."

Serial Mom (1994)

"It's like I hate it, but I can't stop watching!"

The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad (1958)

"A reminder from Ray Harryhausen on how much better FX were before they went CG."

Shadows and Fog (1992)

"Leaves you hanging at the end, but it's fun putting your head in the noose."

Shaft (2000)

"A film that was meant to make us all feel cool, just leaves everyone cold."

Shallow Grave (1995)

"An excellent little thriller!"

Shaun of the Dead (2004)

"The Office meets Annie Hall meets Night of the Living Dead."

She's Out of Control (1989)

"This is the kind of film that makes me wish we could simply erase the 1980's."

She-Devils on Wheels (1968)

"Nearly corny enough to be worth it, but not quite."

Short Circuit (1986)

"Goofy 80's fun. Wanna-be E.T. actually delivers the goods."

Showgirls (1995)

"I'm in the "so bad it's bad" camp on this one. The nudity is nice."

Shrek 2 (2004)

"Manages to be a lot of fun while still playing it safe. "

Signs (2002)

"All signs point to M. Night Shyamalan selling his talents down the river in favor of mass-market appeal."

Silent Hill (2006)

"No matter how you interpret the film, it's nearly impossible to deny what a beautiful work of art it is."
