Sahara (2005) |
"Cussler's attempt to make his concept of an ironclad ship making its way from Richmond to the African desert is no more credible on film than on the written page." |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"I admire her cunning wit, her sensual appeal, her satiric creativity, her canny technique, her sensual appeal, and her courage. I'd watch her sit-com anyday." |

The Savages (2007) |
"Hoffman and Linney's great skill shows in their picking up on the nuances of sibling hierarchy and habits borne of years and familiarity." |

Saw (2004) |
"My only disappointment after the arterial mayhem here is with the final resolution, but I'm not going to be so aberrated as to tell you what it is." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Schizo (2005) |
"Despite elements that can easily cause a film with much to offer to be unjustly underrated and ignored, director Omarova brings true storytelling credentials to her 1st film." |

Scoop (2006) |
"If a typical Allen film doesn't float your boat, Johansson watchers simply can't miss her channeling of the Allen aesthetic, arranging all her creative molecules into the comedic atmosphere." |

The Sea Inside (2004) |
"The subject of euthanasia is not likely to be better addressed or more cinematically presented. It's enough to make you feel guilty about the film's entertainment values." |

Seabiscuit (2003) |
"With such mythical elements, director Gary Ross puts together a warm and handsome production, a beautiful cast and a well structured script that has the right chemistry for a mainstream shot in the arm." |

Splat 2/5 |
The Seagull's Laughter (2001) |
"An awkwardly told story steeped in attitudes toward stereotypes with an annoying portrayal of a little girl's obsessed dedication to betray trust and affection." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Search for John Gissing (2001) |
"Warring tactics in and out of a London boardroom suggest a Molière farce with the characters and plot to carry it off." |

Secretary (2002) |
"It has an integrity to the kinkiness of its theme that doesn't shake loose but you'll get more out of it if you bring your analyst along with you." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Seducing Dr. Lewis (2004) |
"However much Pouliot tries to promote a variant
on "The Full Monty"'s message about dignity and self-worth, he comes out with an endearing tale for the uncritical." |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Seeing Other People (2004) |
"The fantasy that is this film's central contrivance is so much about superficiality that it flits from mind before the end credits finish. Or, is that just relief?" |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 3/5 |
Separate Lies (2005) |
"The sort of story that has so much integrity of storytelling technique on its mind that it pays little heed to its essential lack of satisfaction with any of the characters." |

Serenity (2005) |
"Confusing panache and show-off dialogue slows the blastoff, but this escapist journey turns into high adventure with a rather special style." |

Splat 3/5 |
A Serious Man (2009) |
"The bemusements of family turmoil, ambition in academia, three rabbis and one lawyer, and the universality of self-absorption demonstrate that the Coen's love of satire is intact, but with a guy to whom you're too unattached for a warm hug." |

Shadowboxer (2006) |
""Mr. and Mrs. Smith" in an altered consciousness--one that'll bring arthouse habituees to attention, if not to their feet, out of respect for courage and originality." |

Shark Tale (2004) |
"This kindergarten bait is going to flood the boxoffice because of a juvenile hunger for tidbits they can get their hooks into." |

Sharkwater (2007) |
"While it's true that documentary filmmaker Rob Stewart comes on with an onslaught of zeal over his legendary subject, sharks, it's also true that he proves he's no "Grizzly Man" taking up with bears in the wild." |

Shattered Glass (2003) |
"As an exposé it's grippingly well paced, but what motivated that first step of deception? Apparently, Glass isn't worth consulting, and his shrink isn't talking." |
