S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"We want a little more, get a little less, and keep thinking to ourselves that we should have known better." |

S1m0ne (2002) |

Sade (2002) |
"The Marquis de Sade couldn't have been as dull a person as this film makes him out to be." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 1/4 |
Sahara (2005) |
"The whole concept is just too stupid to go along with, and would make the movie bad enough on its own if it wasn't a contender for the most racist film ever made." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saint Ralph (2005) |
"Butcher carries the film well, interpreting Ralph as a tangle of mixed-up yearnings tempered with an indomitable drive." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Saints And Soldiers |
"A solid, good-looking effort that bends a bit too much toward war-film conventions." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2/5 |
Santa Claus - The Movie (1986) |
"Overblown and dull, it's not surprising that this film is largely forgotten." |

Saraband (2005) |
"Bergman is still at the top of his game, every bit as much in control of his faculties for deciphering human misery." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"Silverman doesn't step on toes; she stomps on them with sharpened stiletto heels. She doesn't tip sacred cows, she runs them over with a Volkswagen." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
Satin Rouge (2002) |
"Though the path to self-assurance may seem a little dubious, you can't knock it too hard. After all, it worked for Lilia. And it worked for Amari." |

Savage Grace (2008) |

Saving Face (2005) |
"It's a coming-out party for Krusiec, a bit player in Sweet Home Alabama who blossoms as a performer relaying emotion with deft touches and subtle yearning." |

Scary Movie 3 (2003) |
"As usual, Zucker and company splash so many jokes on the screen, it doesn't even matter that less than half stick. When this movie hits, it hits big." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 1/4 |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"Faris is left to pathetically flail for laughs by getting, you guessed it, bonked on the head. First, she gets hit with a baseball and then (spoiler alert!) she's drilled with a football." |

School of Rock (2003) |
"Part of the blame should go to White's scattershot script, part to Linklater for not tightening things up, and the rest should be stuck on Black, who seems not to be ready for starring gigs." |

School of Rock (2003) |
"Independent guru Linklater proves his existence" |

Schultze Gets the Blues (2005) |
"Krause, a natural physical comic, lights up with endearingly childish glee as he joyously samples his new life." |

The Science of Sleep (2006) |
"Gondry's film certainly looks at life in a different way, and it refreshingly allows you to do the same, so long as you keep your eyes open." |
