S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"In this summer of sequels it is almost a breath of fresh air to see an action film that doesn’t have a number at the end of the title." |

S1m0ne (2002) |
"Niccol the filmmaker merges his collaborators' symbolic images with his words, insinuating, for example, that in Hollywood, only God speaks to the press" |

Sade (2002) |
"Featuring a dangerously seductive performance from the great Daniel Auteuil, "Sade" covers the same period as Kaufmann's "Quills" with more unsettlingly realistic results." |

Sade (2002) |
"The reason to see “Sade” lay with the chemistry and complex relationship between the marquis (Auteil) and Emilie (Le Besco)." |

Safe Conduct (2002) |
"With a large cast representing a broad cross-section, Tavernier's film bounds along with the rat-a-tat energy of "His Girl Friday," maintaining a light touch while tackling serious themes." |

Safe Conduct (2002) |
"["Safe Conduct"] is a long movie at 163 minutes but it fills the time with drama, romance, tragedy, bravery, political intrigue, partisans and sabotage. Viva le Resistance!" |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |

The Savages (2007) |
"...dual character study of two alienated siblings with an ironic interdependency. If the film ultimately feels small, Linney and Hoffman, two of our great actors, always keep it interesting." |

Saving Face (2005) |

Saw (2004) |
"Tyro director James Wan...is obviously a huge David Fincher fan as "Saw" ransacks both "Se7en" and "The Game" albeit in bargain basement fashion" |

Saw II (2005) |
"...the premise of the second is hackneyed, its acting weak, its score thudding and its direction and production values low rent" |

Scary Movie 3 (2003) |
"The film takes a downturn when, of all people, Leslie Nielsen enters the picture as President Harris. Slapstick had been well utilized up to this point, but it becomes incessant with quickly diminishing returns." |

Scary Movie 3 (2003) |
"Keeping to the formula developed in the original and funny Scary Movie, Zucker and company mix in a dose of their own manic movie shenanigans and come up with a fairly fast paced romp that loses steam after an hour but is, still and mercifully, onl" |
