The Saddest Music in the World (2004) |
"It's a rare film today that doesn't assume audiences are stupid. Weird as they might be, Maddin gives us credit for being in on his esoteric jokes." |

Sahara (2005) |
"Getting the girl, finding the gold and saving the world from a plague are just afterthoughts here. The main objective is to have fun, and in that regard, Sahara accomplishes its mission handily." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saint of 9/11 (2006) |
"This is a loving and handsomely produced biography of Judge, a Franciscan priest of seemingly limitless wisdom, charisma, good humor and charity." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Saint Ralph (2005) |
"Canadian writer-director Michael McGowan has packed it so full of earnestness that viewers end up jogging along." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Same River Twice (2003) |
"Most of the river rats have achieved lives that they would call happy, but watching their reactions while they view footage of their carefree younger selves will put a lump in many throats." |

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) |
"The movie is more cute than funny. Smiles are plentiful, but outright laughs are widely scattered." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saraband (2005) |
"Ullmann, in her mid-60s, and Josephson, in his early 80s, still know how to build fascinating characters." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 4/4 |
Satantango (1994) |
"In Sátántangó, life is beautiful and grotesque by turns, and never less than mesmerizing." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Savage Grace (2008) |
"If ever there was a film to extinguish any envy of the lifestyles of the rich and famous, Savage Grace is it." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Savages (2007) |
"The film is savagely funny about the indignities of old age, yet optimistic that it’s never too late to have a happy childhood." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saved! (2004) |
"The characters are complex, conflicted and written with a sturdy understanding of human nature." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saving Face (2005) |
"This culture-clash, generation-gap comic drama is clichéd and corny. But it's also charming." |

Saw (2004) |
"If you're looking for something more meaningful than visceral shocks, Saw won't cut it." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Saw II (2005) |
"The serpentine plot is logical; the acting is passable and the film creates a palpable atmosphere of paranoia and tension." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Saw III (2006) |
"Saw III is duller than a plastic steak knife." |
Colin Covert |

Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"It has 10 big belly laughs, which puts it about a dozen ahead of this season's competition." |

"Lame and formulaic." |
Colin Covert |

Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"Pouring every impulse, inspiration and outlandish image at hand into his project, [Gondry] creates a dream world as visually delightful as it is merrily illogical." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Scoop (2006) |
"Lack of novelty aside, Scoop is a carefully crafted combination of light suspense and frivolous comedy." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato |
The Sea Inside (2004) |
"This entire project easily could have turned into a weepy soap opera, but Bardem keeps it on point." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Sea Monsters: A Prehistoric Adventure (2007) |
"This Imax documentary is not your typical monster movie. It's a computer-animated look back at a time when the world was covered by oceans that were ruled by giant creatures. Think Jurassic Park without the people." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 4/4 |
Seabiscuit (2003) |
"Even if thundering hoofbeats don't automatically electrify you, you'll be tempted to cheer when the dark horse crosses the finish line first." |

Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Secret Life of Bees (2008) |
"A wonderful film about family, independence and the transcendent power of love, The Secret Life of Bees brims with honest emotion without spilling over into cheap sentimentality." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Secret Lives of Dentists (2003) |
"Director Alan Rudolph shows a fine sensitivity to the loneliness that can haunt a close marriage, but it's Scott's Walter Mitty-style antihero who gives the affair its aching heart." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Secret Things (2003) |
"Imagine Emmanuelle remade on a shoestring budget or Eyes Wide Shut staged by a community theater group." |

See No Evil (2006) |
"It might be hard to imagine a career move that is a step down from directing porn videos, yet Gregory Dark has accomplished just that with his feature-film debut, See No Evil." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
See Spot Run (2001) |
"Adults will find little to entertain them, but at least it's not an ordeal to sit through." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2/4 |
Semi-Pro (2008) |
"Erratic, overlong and repetitive, Semi-Pro seems not to have been written but sketched out in chalkboard diagrams before the actors took their marks in front of the cameras." |

A Serious Man (2009) |
