Tomato 3/4 |
S.O.S. Planet (2002) |
"It's short enough to keep younger students from getting restless. And it's visually and intellectually stimulating enough to keep adults from falling asleep." |
Jim Carnes |
Tomato 3/4 |
S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"Despite the usual macho posturing and testosterone poisoning that are the hallmarks of such projects, S.W.A.T. finds some room for a comfortable lived-in quality among a small, likable cast that exudes terrific chemistry." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 4/4 |
S1m0ne (2002) |
"Aside from being the funniest movie of the year, Simone, Andrew Niccol's brilliant anti-Hollywood satire, has a wickedly eccentric enchantment to it." |
Joe Baltake |

Sabrina (1995) |
"A handsome remake that plays homage to the Wilder flick." |

The Safety of Objects (2003) |

Salton Sea (2002) |
"It has the ability to offend and put off everyone, but it holds you with its outrageousness." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 4/4 |
Santa vs. the Snowman (2002) |
"A fun piece of on-the-edge filmmaking." |
Jill Jess-Cahir |
Tomato 3/4 |
Satin Rouge (2002) |
"Leading a double life in an American film only comes to no good, but not here. Matters play out realistically if not always fairly." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Save the Last Dance (2001) |
"Whatever happened to wanting to dance simply because it's fun?" |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Saved! (2004) |

Saving Private Ryan (1998) |
"Saving Private Ryan is not a film that one takes pleasure in, or even enjoys in the usual sense, but rather, it's a movie that elicits a hushed admiration and an uneasy appreciation." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat |
Saving Silverman (2001) |
"It is frantically, bizarrely unfunny." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2/4 |
Saw III (2006) |
"More appropriate for hard-core gore fans than general audiences." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat |
Scary Movie 2 (2001) |
"This outing doesn't seem to understand that any attempt to parody a parody tends to negate any potential laughs." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2/4 |
School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"Sweet when it should be tart, depressing when it should be devilish and flat when it should be funny." |

School of Rock (2003) |
"I like this film. But that doesn't deny it's naggingly familiar." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"Gondry fails to come up with a story to support his visual whimsy. But his flights of fancy are intriguing on their own, and his two lead actors captivate throughout." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002) |
"It's all pretty hectic, loud and empty, and yet, despite its Day-Glo coloring and sense of forced fun, Scooby-Doo leaves you with a nagging case of the blues." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat |
The Score (2001) |
"Has a feeble plot that gets in the way." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Scotland, PA (2002) |
"Scotland, Pa. is a strangely drab romp. Some studio pizazz might have helped." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Scratch (2002) |
"It's a story of turntablism that will appeal to both newcomers and DJ diehards." |

Screwed (2000) |
"Screwed is an insane comedy -- not a great one, but a good one, and certainly better than most junk routinely screened and screened again by the studios." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure (2007) |
"On an entertainment level, this film is a surefire treat for the armchair paleontologist and child alike. It also has the look and feel of a project that was meticulously researched, as befits most National Geographic projects." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 4/4 |
Seabiscuit (2003) |
"The best film of the summer." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Second Time Around (2002) |

The Secret Life of Bees (2008) |
"This tale of compassion and love crossing the racial divide of the civil rights-era South remains powerful even when not fully plausible." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Secret Lives of Dentists (2003) |
"It's often been said that we don't really know people, that we don't know what goes on in other people's marriages, no matter how intimate we may be with them. With this film, Rudolph sneaks us a peak." |

Semi-Pro (2008) |
"The Will Ferrell man-boy persona, a combination of obstinacy, idiocy and innocence that Ferrell has ushered through several successful comedies, finally gets called for traveling in Semi-Pro." |

Serendipity (2001) |

Serenity (2005) |

Series 7: The Contenders (2001) |
