The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006) |
"Nuance surely isn't Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause's name, but its performances are pleasing %u2014 Martin in particular brings a smirky, self-centered glee to his role %u2014 and its story isn't condescending. It's brisk and colorful, right on" |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"The magic is mostly missing from this Sarah show." |
Jeff Otto |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Savages (2007) |
"Although The Savages is a better film for not being a cloying, schmaltzy tear-jerker, that doesn't mean that it's a movie you will necessarily enjoy." |
Stax |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Saw (2004) |
"A brilliant thriller – terrifying and relentless." |
Jeff Otto |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Saw II (2005) |
"An unapologetic exercise in nastiness, with lots of scenes guaranteed to truly gross out and freak out the audience in equal measure." |
Eric Goldman |
Tomato 4/5 |
Saw II (2005) |
"Promising unnerving thrills, Saw II delivers." |
Jeff Otto |
Splat 2/5 |
Saw III (2006) |
"I get that the easy retort to analysis for a movie like this is that "critics don't get it," or, more to the point, "aren't supposed to like it," but Saw III is so sloppily overblown in its technique as to make the original movie, directed by James" |
Brent Simon |
Tomato 3/5 |
Scary Movie 3 (2003) |
"Despite the sluggish third act, Scary Movie 3, for what it is – and that would be big, dumb fun – is worth shelling out the duckets for." |
Spence D. |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"If you enjoyed any of the previous Scary Movies this one will likely appeal to you. The humor is broad, but much of it hits." |
Chris Carle |
Tomato 4/5 |
School of Rock (2003) |
"Absolutely the funniest movie to hit theater screens in a good long while." |
Steve Head |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"The Science of Sleep, his latest effort, continues in the same singular direction as its predecessors; simultaneously confounding, fascinating and enchanting, the movie does not quite find the populist pulse that did its predecessor, but as the fir" |

Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) |
"More loyal to the classic show than the first film, Scooby-Doo finds his live-action niche in the highly entertaining sequel." |
Jeff Otto |
Tomato |
The Scorpion King (2002) |
"The Rock, making his acting debut as the titular top dog (not counting his five digitally enhanced minutes in The Mummy Returns), turns in a slight, if promising, star turn as a reluctant savior of the free world, and leads an encouragingly multi-cultural" |

The Sea Inside (2004) |
"In the end, The Sea Inside is a beautiful, rippling mirage shrouding an empty husk of misplaced emotions." |

Seabiscuit (2003) |
"A great story with strong characters that could use a few nips and tucks." |
Jeff Otto |
Splat 2/5 |
See No Evil (2006) |
"Overall, fans of this type of horror film might appreciate See No Evil for the exploitation flick that it is but others will be let down as they will have seen it all before." |
Stax |
Splat 2/5 |
The Seeker (2007) |
"The Dark is Rising is yet another lackluster and derivative entry in the overstuffed genre of youth-oriented fantasy films." |

September Tapes (2004) |

Seraphim Falls (2007) |
"A solid but formulaic throwback." |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
Serenity (2005) |
"The film is teeming with an overwhelming amount of integrity, heart, soul, and some of the best written characters to invade genre fiction in quite some time." |

The Sergio Leone Anthology (1964) |

Sex and the City - The Movie (2008) |
"Sex and the City is not a painful experience for men (or even guys), just a predictable one..." |
Todd Gilchrist |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Sex Drive (2008) |
"Sex Drive feels like a date with a prostitute: if you pay your money, you get what you expect, but there's nothing fun or new about the experience, and ultimately you feel more a lot more sleazy than satisfied." |

Shall We Dance? (2004) |
"Gere, a strong supporting cast, and a great soundtrack save this romantic comedy from the dog pound." |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Shape of Things (2003) |
"An interesting, albeit wordy and often vitriolic, take on modern dating and the subjective nature of love." |
Spence D. |
Splat 3/5 |
Shark Tale (2004) |
"Shark Tale feels like a modest step backwards [for CGI films], a regression not visually but conceptually." |
Todd Gilchrist |

Shattered Glass (2003) |
"A tension-filled drama with great performances from Hayden Christensen and Peter Sarsgaard." |

Sherlock Holmes (2009) |
"Ritchie's new school take on an old school icon is respectful without being overly reverential, loud and fun without becoming dumb and hollow, talky but never slow." |
Jim Vejvoda |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Shine a Light (2008) |
"But the success of this documentary may ultimately qualify as faint praise since what it really confirms is that rock 'n' roll's greatest glories happened 40 years ago..." |

Shoot 'Em Up (2007) |

Shooter (2007) |

Shottas (2006) |
"Shottas, a Jamaican-set underworld flick executive produced by musician Wyclef Jean and being given a pat-on-the-head theatrical release in advance of its DVD peddling from Sony Pictures later this year, is proof that a movie can at least on some l" |

Shrek 2 (2004) |
"Desperately pleading for our laughs, Shrek 2 offers a small dose of the original's fun spirit with none of its heart." |
Jeff Otto |
Tomato 3/5 |
Shrek the Third (2007) |
"Shrek the Third is the X-Men: The Last Stand of Shrek movies: overstuffed with characters, short and fast-paced, and overdone just enough to convince some that it's time for the series to take a rest." |

Sicko (2007) |

Sideways (2004) |
"It's not Payne's best work, but even a lesser piece by Alexander Payne far exceeds just about anything else out there." |
