S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"S.W.A.T feels as aimless and baseless as the flashy bullets it shoots around in arbitrary fashion. So here’s to saluting 2003’s arrival of the insufferable S.W.A.T: a (S)olely (W)asteful (A)ction-packed (T)easer." |

S1m0ne (2002) |
"Simone should have exposed more of its heartless hard drive to give this flimsy computerized comedy some more edgy kick in its absurdity devoted to creating an ideal image for pop culture pundits." |

Sahara (2005) |
"...will leave a parched sensation in one’s dry throat...a recycled buddy-buddy vehicle that’s about as welcoming as hugging a cactus tree" |

Tomato 3/4 |
Salton Sea (2002) |
"Overall, this examination of manufactured corruption set against a film noirish swagger may not have the in-depth impact like contemporaries L.A. Confidential or Memento, but this Sea is certainly worth swimming in" |

Saving Face (2005) |
"...a conventional but ambitious and tender vehicle about cultural traditions of passion crossing forbidden paths." |

Saw (2004) |
"Wan struggles to bring this hallow hedonistic horror show to its full potential. Sadly, this Saw doesn’t quite cut through the tumultuous malarkey" |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Saw II (2005) |
"The raucous results: Saw II is a shameless spectacle of squirming and squealing without maintaining much solid suspense in its warped, blood-clotting heart" |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Saw III (2006) |
"...getting dangerously close to turning the mangled bloody body business into tedious and tripe titillation...the Jigsaw chaotic chronicles have run its corrosive course" |

Say Uncle (2006) |
"Paige's radical approach to this unsettling material tip toes in the echoes of dark absurdity. Say Uncle comes off as an irresponsible, unthinkable and creepy concoction" |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 2/4 |
Scarlet Diva (2000) |
"...may work as an addictive guilty pleasure but the material never overcomes its questionable satirical ambivalence. This Scarlet's letter is A...as in aimless, arduous, and arbitrary." |

Scary Movie 3 (2003) |
"...that’s three times the regurgitated chuckles since the original made the scene and ushered in this so-called unavoidable phenomenon that keep popping up like an annoying pimple on an adolescent girl’s face." |
Frank Ochieng |
Splat 2/4 |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"...a cockeyed collection of watered-down, lowbrow parodies that have all the revered spark of a joy buzzer jolting an arthritic patient during a spontaneous handshake." |

School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"Unfortunately for the toothless rabble-rousing School for Scoundrels this disposable and dimwitted farce deserves its smirking class to be dismissed." |
Frank Ochieng |
Tomato 3/4 |
School of Rock (2003) |
"Heartfelt, charming and devoid of anything to be misrepresented as manipulative piffle, School of Rock is solid in its celebration of rock and for those who recognize this pop culture movement as its orgasmic realm." |

Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) |
"Overall, the meandering mayhem to the shoddy sequel Scooby Doo 2: Monster’s Unleashed is as untested, shaky, and crooked as pesky puppy Scrappy Doo’s hind leg

Secret Ballot (2002) |
"There is something that is so meditative and lyrical about Babak Payami’s boldly quirky Iranian drama Secret Ballot...a charming and evoking little ditty that manages to show the gentle and humane side of Middle Eastern world politics" |

Secret Window (2004) |
"...[a] stylish but hampered frightfest. There’s a questionable routine draft that blows through this particular defective Window...notoriously derivative and repetitive.

Secrets & Lies (1996) |
"An English mother-daughter racial melodrama that resonates with simplicity and insight. Leigh is considerate of his movie's identity and spirit just as much as demonstrates this with his wounded protagonists" |

See No Evil (2006) |

Seed of Chucky (2004) |
"[A] less than mediocre macabre parody without a probing pulse to back up its wayward wit and/or wickedness. A sluggish and pointless scarefest reaching for cryptic credibility" |

"Jewison's cockeyed comedy works its romantic magic with the flighty entanglement of the Hudson-Day charming kooky connection" |

Serendipity (2001) |
"True, there are traces of hokum and contrivance plots that will drive you batty at times, but Chelson delivers a film that is occasionally smart about its airheaded premise" |

Serenity (2005) |
