S.P.I.T.: Squeegee Punks in Traffic (2003) |
"Tthere are too few revelations, insights or explanations to sustain the amount of time we spend there." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 1.5/4 |
S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"A film full of phony swagger and dialogue so awful you hope for once-distracting conversations to break out in the theatre around you." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 2/4 |
S1m0ne (2002) |
"If this is satire, it's the smug and self-congratulatory kind that lets the audience completely off the hook." |

The Saddest Music in the World (2004) |
"Maddin speaks in an almost lost, elusive and poetic language of filmmaking." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Sade (2002) |
"Despite Auteuil's performance, it's a rather listless amble down the middle of the road, where the thematic ironies are too obvious and the sexual politics too smug." |
Rick Groen |

The Safety of Objects (2003) |
"It's a movie located in an interesting place, but without quite enough self-confidence really to inhabit it." |
Ray Conlogue |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Saint (1997) |
"More entertaining than Mission: Impossible or the last Bond film, Goldeneye, it brings back the humour and sang-froid that makes the genre work." |

Saint Ralph (2005) |
"Unrepentant hokum." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Salt (2006) |
"A blend of youthful uncertainty and experimental panache." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Salton Sea (2002) |
"If you are into splatter movies, then you will probably have a reasonably good time with The Salton Sea." |
Ray Conlogue |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Samsara (2003) |
"A singularly engaging spiritual love story." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |
"Not so much funny as aggressively sitcom-cute, it's full of throwaway one-liners, not-quite jokes, and a determined TV amiability that Allen personifies." |
Liam Lacey |

Tomato 4/4 |
Saraband (2005) |
"Reminds us again that Bergman, in his camera choices and blocking of characters, remains unrivalled in revealing the sea of emotions between two people face-to-face." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Satin Rouge (2002) |
"Part of the charm of Satin Rouge is that it avoids the obvious with humour and lightness." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Savage Grace (2008) |
"Though the characters may be repellent, the film permits you to feel sympathy." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Savages (2007) |
"Suffused with clever lines, characters with neurotic tics and a pervasive, jocular black humour, The Savages is more about craft than art, but the craft, especially in the writing and acting, is at a high level." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Save The Green Planet! (2005) |
"Entertaining, visually inventive and truly out-there." |
Jennie Punter |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Save the Last Dance (2001) |
"A refreshingly friendly view of a romance between people of different pigmentation, an area where more respectable pictures still wimp out." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Saved by the Belles (2003) |
"If you're not a member of this subculture, or already interested in it, you may have a hard time adjusting to Saved by the Belles." |
Ray Conlogue |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saved! (2004) |
"This is one of the most intriguing rite-of-passage teen comedies in a long time." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Saving Face (2005) |
"Wu has a keen ear for the rhythm of speech, and much of the humour rests in the conversations' staccato beat -- in breezy put-downs and tossed-off asides and disgruntled mutterings." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Saving Grace (2000) |
"Saving Grace has a lovely Cornish setting and Blethyn to recommend it, but mostly it's a contact mediocre." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Saving Luna (2008) |
"The film about an animal that doesn't respect boundaries has set none for itself." |
Kamal Al-Solaylee |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saving Private Ryan (1998) |

Saw (2004) |

Saw II (2005) |
"I saw Saw, I saw Saw II, and I have lived to tell about it. Aren't you glad?" |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Saw III (2006) |
"Tedium eventually sets in again, the movie's murky visual schema and overly aggressive editing style marring any attempts at subtlety. Worse yet, the Jigsaw Killer remains a smug, unscary bore." |
Jason Anderson |
Splat 1/4 |
Saw IV (2007) |
"The original Saw was crafted with thought and precision. Saw IV is an orgy of blood." |
Stephen Cole |

Say It Isn't So (2001) |
"This review is written in a state of posttraumatic shock." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Scary Movie (2000) |
"There's energy and glee in the movie, as if the Wayans brothers were still little boys, desperately working to out-gross each other. Naughty little boys and girls everywhere, even those who have officially grown up, will appreciate their commitment." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 1/4 |
Scary Movie 2 (2001) |
"The picture wastes barely a second heading straight into the toilet." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"Don't let the number scare you: Scary Movie 4 is spooferific." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 1.5/4 |
School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"Is it a black comedy that isn't dark enough? Or a dumb comedy that isn't stupid enough, or a gross-out comedy that isn't yucky enough? Or is it really just a romance comedy that isn't sweet enough?" |
Rick Groen |

School of Rock (2003) |
"A picture with pop's delicious energy yet none of its attendant risk, a flick that no one will love but everyone will like." |

Schultze Gets the Blues (2005) |
"Highly original, bittersweet comedy." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"[Gondry] understands the bittersweet pleasures of unrequited love, how love unattained is always love untainted. Possibility perpetually exists. Dream logic? Perhaps." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002) |
"A frenetic, cluttered $100-million worth of haphazard plotting, fart jokes, computer-generated monsters and visual chaos." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Scoop (2006) |
"The movie is watchable, there's the occasional good one-liner, but it's extremely slight, overly drawn out and never for a moment believable." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Score (2001) |
"Contains The Scene, a precious sequence already destined for infinite repetition." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
The Scorpion King (2002) |
"Russell ... stitches together a series of stunt sequences, giving as little time as possible to dialogue and character development." |
Liam Lacey |

"Engaging documentary." |
Ray Conlogue |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Scream (1996) |
