S.W.A.T. (2003)

"It is just a solid, by-the-book police melodrama with characters and situations we have seen dozens of times before on the big and small screen."

S1m0ne (2002)

"S1M0NE’s satire is not subtle, but it is effective. It’s a quirky, off-beat project. ..."

Saludos Amigos (1943)

"A colorful combination of life action, animation and Latin music. A pioneering effort by Disney."

Sarafina! (1992)

" A rather bloody musical that captures the horror that was apartheid."

Saw (2004)

"While a tad derivative, Saw shows promise of better things to come from Whannell’s imagination and Wan’s composition."

Scarface (1983)

"One of the oddest extras is a look at how the film was cleaned up for television, comparing clips from the movie to their network counterparts."

Scenes from a Marriage (1973)

" Any true Bergman fan’s collection would be incomplete without this exceptional offering. Another fabulous winner from The Criterion Collection. "

School of Rock (2003)

" The DVD transfer is great and the sound quality blasts. "

Seabiscuit (2003)

"Seabiscuit is a godsend, an oasis in a summer of mindless spectacle. Here is a human story, an inspirational tale about real people -- and one special horse -- who conquer adversity without so much as a light saber."

Secondhand Lions (2003)

"This seen-it-all-before family melodrama gets a fresh coat of paint because of the natural performances by Duvall and Caine . . ."

Secret Window (2004)

" The pieces fit together easily, too easily, in fact, which sets you up for the grand finale."

Serendipity (2001)

Seven Pounds (2008)

""Seven Pounds" is like one of those little kids' puzzles with six or seven big pieces that once you fit a couple together, the others easily fall into place."

Sex With Strangers (2002)

"Sex With Strangers will shock many with its unblinking frankness. But what is missing from it all is a moral. What is the filmmakers’ point? Why did they deem it necessary to document all this emotional misery?"

Shakes the Clown (1992)

"Shake this one back into the film can and let it rot there."

Shall We Dance? (2004)

"The screenplay does not allow the dance to overshadow the human core of the story — Clark’s search for fulfillment, for the missing piece to make his life complete. "

She Done Him Wrong (1933)

"For West fans only; the double entendres are cute by today's standards and Grant looks great."

The Sherlock Holmes Collection - Vol. 1 (1942)

"Fans used to the overly dark prints that usually show up on television will be elated by the quality of these discs. They are magnificent. "

The Shield - Complete First Season (2002)

"One of the best and most honest police dramas ever to reach TV. It's almost documentary-like, with great acting from Chiklis, Pounder and others."

Shining Through (1992)

"Griffith as an American spy posing as a German during WWII. Gimme a break!!!"

Shogun (Complete Mini-Series) (1980)

"One of the finest miniseries ever produced. An exciting and literate adaptation of James Clavell's masive novel that rivets you from beginning to end."

Shrek 2 (2004)

" Like its predecessor, Shrek 2 simultaneously embraces and satirizes fairy tale conventions, so much so that it may be unsuitable for some of the youngest moviegoers. "

Silent Running (1971)

"A pretty s-f outing, good special effects, but slow at times."
