[movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      Saint Ralph (2005)      "Michael McGowan's conventionally heartwarming underdog drama doesn't miss a cliche on the eccentric troublemaker's rocky road to sainthood." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       8/10      Santitos (1997)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      Saraband (2005)      "The 85-year-old Bergman has proclaimed this his final film and it has the feel of closure. It also feels like the effort of a tired artist reworking the same themes." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005)      "The big screen isn't the best venue for her "ain't I cute?" shtick and shock tactics... but Silverman is funny and, more often than not, so is the film." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Save The Green Planet! (2005)      "Made up of equal parts whimsy and dementia, Jang Jun-hwan relentlessly pushes his story of madness, revenge and petty power plays to the limit." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Saved! (2004)      "It's like Mean Girls with a holier-than-thou twist and a genuine (if contrived) message of acceptance." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Saving Face (2005)      "The screenplay isn't always smooth or subtle, but Wu quietly reveals small, telling details..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       5/10      Saving Silverman (2001)      "A shapeless mess and about as convincing as a cartoon." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      Saw (2004)      "... the most extreme entry yet in the bleak and dusky splinter of American thrillers about criminal geniuses with messianic egos and sadistic torments..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C-      Saw II (2005)      "... this time around the ordeal is less grueling than simply distasteful." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Saw IV (2007)      "Director Darren Lynn Bousman, helming his third sequel in a row, has plenty of gratuitous style to enhance the gratuitous violence and sadistic torture devices..." [dvd review]      MSN.com            Sawdust and Tinsel (1953)      "It's a gloomy study in humiliation, filled with portentous performances and symbol laden imagery and set in Bergman country of gray skies and rainy days." [dvd review]      MSN.com            Scarface (1932)      "The original Scarface, loosely but boldly based on the notorious life and legend of Al Capone, didn't invent the modern American gangster film. It blew it up." [movie review]      Seanax.com       4/10      Scary Movie (2000)      "If the baddest of the Farrelly brothers' bad-taste gags has you in stitches, then this is the movie for you." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Scary Movie 3 (2003)      "Where the Wayanses flogged every last chuckle from their belabored ideas, Zucker spring-loads his gags and lets them fly in rapid-fire succession." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Scary Movie 4 (2006)      "... a barrage of low-minded gags with high-spirited energy." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      School for Scoundrels (2006)      "Todd Phillips' fitfully funny script never delivers the crude creativity or the raw energy that feeds this genre of proudly crass male-centric comedies." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      School of Rock (2003)      ".. a familiar song -- the journey of arrested adolescent/adult Dewey Finn (Jack Black) to maturity, helped along the way by the wisdom of children -- but the fun is in the performance." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      The Science of Sleep (2006)      "... between the chaotic zigs and creative jags, it proclaims its own kind of messy authenticity and a bittersweet beauty." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      The Scorpion King (2002)      "It's hard to say whether the Rock saves the movie or merely defines it." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Scratch (2002)      "...Pray doesn't have a passion for the material. He nonetheless appreciates the art and reveals a music scene that transcends culture and race." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      The Sea (2003)      "There's little healing to be found in the bitter melodrama, but there is a small sense of triumph..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C+      The Second Chance (2006)      "... a sincerely (if not exactly subtly) performed spiritual drama with a faith-based lesson in humility and the practical charity of offering a helping hand." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            The Second Track (1962)      "(T)he flashback scenes are dramatically potent and the dissonant score creates a nervy atmosphere." [dvd review]      MSN.com       A      Secret Ballot (2002)      "... a mosaic that adds a shot of offbeat comedy to the lyrical grace of Iran's serene cinema." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      The Secret Life of Bees (2008)      "... plays like heartwarming popular fiction dipped in honey." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       A      The Secret Lives of Dentists (2003)      "... an engaging and engaged comic drama, [Alan Rudolph's] best and most beautifully human film in years." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       F      See Spot Run (2001)      "An unfunny farce with nary a clever line and not a single surprising sight gag." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Semi-Pro (2008)      "Will Ferrell appears to be simply running out the clock in this spoof of the short-lived American Basketball Association." [dvd review]      MSN.com       C+      The Sentinel (2006)      "In between is a slickly executed generic thriller that, like its humorless investigator Breckinridge, does it all by the book." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Sequins (2005)      "At its best, the film is as delicate and lovely as the gorgeous sequin-embroidered designs the women spin on spider webs of diaphanous materials." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Seraphim Falls (2007)      "The vivid environment and intensely driven figures recall the hard, tough-minded Westerns of the '70s..." [dvd review]      MSN.com       C      Serendipity (2001)      "Serendipity plays with the fantasy of fate and destiny and romantic kismet with all the lightness and frivolity of a championship chess match." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Serenity (2005)      "Joss Whedon's big-screen incarnation of his short-lived TV series Firefly [is a] lively, humor-laden science fiction Western..." [dvd review]      MSN.com       B      Serenity (2005)      "The film's strength is compelling character relationships and Whedon's trademark dialogue..." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B+      Series 7: The Contenders (2001)      "A satisfyingly nasty piece of work so black and cruel it's often more sick than funny." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            A Serious Man (2009)      "... as funny, heartbreaking, questioning, trying, exasperating and sincerely inquisitive a portrait of the human condition as you'll find on screen." [movie review]      Seanax.com       C-      Serving Sara (2002)      "... Hudlin is stuck trying to light a fire with soggy leaves." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer            Seven (1995)      "The real star of Seven, however, is the gloom and doom of the setting: an unidentified blight of a modern city." [movie review]      Turner Classic Movies Online            The Seventh Seal (1957)      "I never realized what an astoundingly beautiful film it was." [movie review]      Parallax View            Severance (2007)      "Director/co-writer Christopher Smith puts an inventive spin on a familiar hunt-and-kill horror genre and fills the edges with sardonic humor and fantasy visions." [dvd review]      MSN.com       B      Sex and Lucia (2002)      "Medem hops through time, dances through the weaving journeys of the characters, and blurs the boundaries (real life and) fantasies." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Sex is Comedy (2004)      "It feels too self-satisfied, but the prickly personalities and relationships have the ring of experience." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B      Sexy Beast (2001)      "[Kingsley's] brilliant performance becomes the dark soul of this noirish drama." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       B-      Shake Hands With the Devil: The Journey of Romeo Dallaire (2005)      "... blunt, somewhat artless, but very effective." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       C      Shallow Hal (2001)      "There's nothing wrong with the moral of "Shallow Hal"... the problem lies in (the) maddeningly obvious approach." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       8/10      Shanghai Noon (2000)      "[Chan] still can turn a silly little action comedy like this into a high-spirited, butt-kicking good time." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer       8/10      Shattered Image (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Nitrate Online       B+      Shaun of the Dead (2004)      "There's nothing like the end of civilization as we know it to rouse a rudderless slacker into action." [movie review]      Seattle Post-Intelligencer
