S.W.A.T. (2003)

"The S.W.A.T. teamers exemplify what seems a set of ideal contradictions -- militaristic but individualistic, cartoonish but sort of relevant, elite but regular, dangerous but sensitive."

S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2004)

"It is not a film—which unflinchingly captures a still festering wound on humanity—you are likely to forget."

The Scarlet Letter (1995)

"Oh, Roland Joffé, thy free adaptation of the Hawthorne classic didst produce abudant derisive laughter. Didst thou once direct 'The Killing Fields?'"

Scary Movie 2 (2001)

"Most of the gags have to do with sex, none of it makes any sense and no one cares. And if it's not so surprising or clever as the first film, well, that’s just predictable isn't it?"

School of Rock (2003)

"Many screenwriters toil in anonymity, often losing the spotlight to the performers who recite their lines or the directors who film their stories. This is not the case with Mike White."

Series 7: The Contenders (2001)

"With a dollop of originality, a pinch of drollness, and a dash of dry wit, it sends up survivor-based reality television with a deadly dose of gladiator humor."

Sexy Beast (2001)

"Loses some of its juice when [Don's] not on screen, but when he is, the wreckage he embodies feels irreparable."
