The Saddest Music in the World (2004) |

Walter Chaw |
Tomato 3/4 |
Safe Conduct (2002) |
"The best didacticism is one carried by a strong sense of humanism, and Bertrand Tavernier's oft-brilliant Safe Conduct ("Laissez-passer") wears its heart on its sleeve." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Safety of Objects (2003) |
"The film is so energetic (a plus) that its body is often ahead of its brain. Still, the movie isn't so sappy that we're forced to resist it." |

The Sandlot (1993) |
"Its messages of anti-bullying, befriending losers, and pretending the fat kid stuffing Ho-hos into his mouth doesn't make you sick are as timeless as they are trite." |
Walter Chaw |
Splat 0.5/4 |
The Sandlot 2 (2005) |

The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |

Saw (2004) |
"Though the film does work marginally well as a satire of modern serial killer thrillers and their Byzantine games of cat-and-mouse, I have a hunch that's the zeitgeist's doing" |
Bill Chambers |
Splat 1/4 |
Saw (2004) |
"A bad film badly written, badly performed, badly scored, and most of all, badly directed, Saw's a mess, a waste of flesh. And I don't mean that in a good way." |
