[movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3.5/4      The Safety of Objects (2003)      "Not my life, not yours, but lives worth living and looking in on." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       1/4      The Saint (1997)      "The predictable action-thriller elements are all in place, from coke-sniffing, machine-gun-toting thugs to monotonous narrow escapes. The look is stylish, sound is above average, and the acting only as good as it has to be." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2.5/4      Salton Sea (2002)      "Nearly manages to be what "Blow" couldn't - a perpetual night party that generates a sick fascination to the bitter end." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3/4      The Savages (2007)      "Affecting and dangerously close to home." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3/4      Saved! (2004)      "At long last a religious satire that’s as deliciously subversive as it is entertaining." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3/4      Saving Private Ryan (1998)      "The platoon is an unlikely combination of heroes, cowards and crusaders." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2/4      Saving Silverman (2001)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2/4      Saw (2004)      "Showcases gratuitous gore and the ubiquitously macabre bells and whistles that pass themselves off as fear." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2.5/4      Say It Isn't So (2001)      "No topic is too sacred for the ferocious Farrellys." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2.5/4      The Scarlet Letter (1995)      "Corny, heavy-handed, but definitely romantic, The Scarlet Letter is a mindless piece of historical amusement." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3.5/4      School of Rock (2003)      "Funnyman Jack Black was born for this role – crisp, improvisational and brilliantly zany." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       1/4      Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002)      "Phony, computer-generated images packaged together with bad performances and distributed as joyless summer entertainment." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2/4      Scoop (2006)      "The sort of comic frippery that's wearing thin with age and repetition." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3.5/4      The Sea Inside (2004)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2.5/4      Seabiscuit (2003)      "A saccharine valentine to America’s post-Depression era spirit that carries its earnest shine too far over the finish line." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2/4      Secondhand Lions (2003)      "Ridiculous scripting and a geeky, grating performance by the needy, too-old-for-this-role Osment sets the teeth on edge." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2.5/4      Secret Ballot (2002)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2.5/4      The Secret Life of Bees (2008)      "Show me the nuance and scratch the false sincerity." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3.5/4      Secret Window (2004)      "Bravo for the revival of the smart thriller."

[movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2/4      See Spot Run (2001)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       4/4      Sense and Sensibility (1995)      "Enduring love, heartbreak, undying passion and bitter betrayal. What more could you ask from Jane Austen, and for that matter, from a film?" [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3/4      The Sentinel (2006)      "Gives a good name to the brand of cookie-cutter thriller that satisfies like no other." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       '2.5/4'      Separate Lies (2005)      "A stiff-upper-lip melodrama that’s semi-spoiled by a disappointing bit of miscasting." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2/4      Seraphim Falls (2007)      "When it's all said and done this Western psychodrama is more dumbed-down than giddy-up." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3.5/4      Serendipity (2001)      "...sheer romantic entertainment." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3.5/4      Series 7: The Contenders (2001)      "The charm of this fanatical spoof relies on heavy doses of nervous humor to support its outrageous action." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2/4      Set It Off (1996)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2.5/4      Seven Pounds (2008)      "The final act leaves a melodramatic and manipulative residue that no amount of tears can wash away." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2.5/4      Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)      "Bottom line the movie fails Movie Plot 101 by trying too hard. Too hard to appease its fans, too hard to color within the lines and too hard to prove that love conquers all." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3/4      Shadow Magic (2001)      "resonates with modern values but maintains its old world charm" [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3.5/4      Shadow of the Vampire (2000)      "A sinister delight for the black at heart."

[movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3/4      The Shape of Things (2003)      "The fallout from the discomfiting climax lingers long after the lights have come up." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       3/4      Sharkwater (2007)      "Sharkwater has a message or two or three; its intentions are nothing if not noble." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       4/4      Shattered Glass (2003)      "One of the year’s most compelling films." [movie review]      Palo Alto Weekly       2/4      She Hate Me (2004)      " Spike Lee’s bold voice is lost in a sea of snaky narrative threads that squeeze the plot and virtually choke it to death."
