S1m0ne (2002) |
"What I saw, I enjoyed." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Sacred Planet (2003) |
"Images are very pleasing, but only a few actually take your breath away. Still, this should provide a good springboard for conversation into civilization & environmentalism." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sahara (2005) |
"Steve Zahn rocks! Though at times the film certainly stretches the believability factor, it is always engaging, always fun." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |
"Despite some major Claus flaws, the film's successes are truly magical and inspired." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Santa vs. the Snowman (2002) |
"Despite lacking any truly breath-taking 3-D imagery, the film still looks good and has a good sense of humor." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 6/10 |
Save the Last Dance (2001) |
"A formula fish out of water, dancer flick." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Saving Face (2005) |
"This film breaks the icy barriers of traditional repression, cold communication. Offers up a series of sometimes charming scenes, but seldom breaks deeper into the surface." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 8/10 |
Saving Silverman (2001) |
"Kudos to the writers for packing the script with lots of funny stuff." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Say It Isn't So (2001) |
"Like "The Mexican," "Say It Isn't So" tries its hand at genre gender blending.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Scary Movie (2000) |
"It's goofy silly humor, from the most graphic sex jokes you'll ever see on film to those old, tired, pot-head gags, to truly funny spoofs of the fright genre" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
School of Rock (2003) |
"Strong B+. I suppose the film is true to Rock 'n' Roll by being both fun and irresponsible." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"The flying sequences, though extremely lo-tech, succeed in stirring that feeling of flight, stirring a few stomach butterflies." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Seabiscuit (2003) |
"Breaking out of the gates with strong stride, patient disciplined pace and confidence, "Seabiscuit" eventually relaxes, but still finishes ahead of many other summer movies." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Secondhand Lions (2003) |
"Warm and a little syrupy like old school films." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Secretary (2002) |
"A comedy? A wake up call? I'm not sure.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Senator Obama Goes to Africa (2007) |
"Clocks in several minutes short of a feature. A wise decision, the pattern was on the verge of repetition. Overall, interesting & worthwhile, but not a must see." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Serendipity (2001) |
"begins as a "B-" then builds consistently to an "A-"" |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Serving Sara (2002) |
"Perry's good and his is an interesting character, but "Serving Sara" hasn't much more to serve than silly fluff. Nor is it a romantic comedy." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Sexy Beast (2001) |
"Oscar talk for Kingsley ... all well deserved." |

Splat 1/4 |
Shadow of the Vampire (2000) |
"The film never captures its audience." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Shaft (2000) |
"Very well made for the most part with only one or two silly plot-progressions." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Shallow Hal (2001) |
"Hal: "If you can see it and smell it and feel it, who's to say it's not real?"" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shanghai Knights (2003) |
"Jackie's truly inspired choreography constructs a simply magical umbrella bout that plays tongue in cheek homage to "Singin' in the Rain."" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 9/10 |
Shanghai Noon (2000) |
"I had a great time!" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shaolin Soccer (2002) |
"A fall-out-of-the-chair, funny movie!" |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Shark Tale (2004) |
"An ocean story without much depth. The fun shark tale is secondary to little fish story that won't make any waves. Expressive animation though and Ziggy Marley." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Sharkwater (2007) |
"Dazzling underwater photography. Compromises story/entertainment for message." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
She's All That (1998) |
"If you're a teen and you like MTV's The Real World, I think you might enjoy this picture. If you're not a teen, there's better pictures out there for you.

The Shipping News (2001) |
"Feeling broken, hurt, worn down to the nails by the erosive wind of life? So is Kevin Spacey in this strong piece. Perhaps this picture can help out." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shopgirl (2005) |
"An interesting piece. Not the old silly Steve Martin, and not without faults, but nice in his new way." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
A Shot at Glory (2002) |
"Duvall is strong as always." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Shower (1999) |
"a sweet little drama, warm and homey, like a fireplace or a hot bath." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Showtime (2002) |
"De Niro and Murphy are never boring and this rickety, messy film remains slightly amusing ... so we'll give it a B." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Shrek (2001) |
"A fresh fruitatious smorgasbord of laughter that has but one disappointing blemish.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Shrek 2 (2004) |
"The film is amusing from start to finish, but one pseudo-video-taped segment of "KNIGHTS" (a "COPS" spoof) rocks the theater. It's hands down (or handcuffed) hilarious.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Shrek the Third (2007) |
"The first 15 minutes of this picture had me rolling in the aisles. The careful animation of the frog-king rocks. Not so funny during middle chunk. Great pop-music choices!" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Sicko (2007) |
"As warped and blatantly anecdotal as it is, it does make strongly a point well in need of making - namely, health care in the states needs an overhaul." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Sidewalks of New York (2001) |
"semi-mock-documentary which tells slice of love lives tales in a pseudo Woody Allen voice." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sideways (2004) |
"A dramedy, the film broaches some important issues such as depression and fidelity, honesty, integrity, but never forgets its comedy. A modernized "Odd Couple?"" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 9/10 |
Siegfried and Roy - The Magic Box (1999) |
"A brilliant piece, especially with a ticket price somewhere around one-twentyth of the Las Vegas show." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Signs (2002) |
"The first act hosts as many subtle funnybone attacks as scare attacks; but that spark, that magic, that unexplainable unshakable chill eludes us in "Signs."" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Simpsons Movie (2007) |
"Why PAY for something you can see on TV for FREE? Homer asks. As one of the dolts who shelled out the DO'H, I answer, Because the Simpsons make me laugh." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Sin City (2005) |
"Beautiful craftsmanship, at times, even magnificent, but weakens, repeats, can't keep itself together." |

The Sixth Sense (1999) |
"An awesome film. Perfectly directed." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Skulls (2000) |
"Despite it's excellent cinematography, "Skulls" fails to "flesh out" a good premise." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) |
"Though initially intriguing & intermittently appealing, the film never develops, and hides its most interesting character till the end when it's too late. Overall - bland.
