(2003)      "It doesn't even stink in any meaningful way, completely forgotten before it's even over." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      S1m0ne (2002)      "The picture's fascinating byways are littered with trenchant satirical jabs at the peculiar egocentricities of the acting breed." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2004)      "oddly liquid" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Saddest Music in the World (2004)      "Maddin frustrated and self-immolating, forced to toil in a medium he sees only the death of and for an audience he disdains." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Safe Conduct (2002)      "The best didacticism is one carried by a strong sense of humanism, and Bertrand Tavernier's oft-brilliant Safe Conduct ("Laissez-passer") wears its heart on its sleeve." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Safety of Objects (2003)      "Deserving of notice if only for a few exceptional performances and some very fine editing work and cinematography." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Sahara (2005)      "A blockbuster played by action figures and written by children." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Sam and Joe (2003)      "Amateurish and lit like a hospital ward." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Same River Twice (2003)      "An elegy, an allegory, and one hell of a beautiful film." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Sandlot (1993)      "Its messages of anti-bullying, befriending losers, and pretending the fat kid stuffing Ho-hos into his mouth doesn't make you sick are as timeless as they are trite." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Sandlot 2 (2005)      "A caricaturist would draw stink lines emanating from this direct-to-video stillbirth." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Sandpiper (1965)      "Take a snapshot of Taylor next to her wooden likeness and you'd need a caption to distinguish between the two." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Santa Clause 2 (2002)      "Raises the question once again of why, in our society, movies are the only arena in which "it's for children" means that the product is demonstrably worse." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Saraband (2005)      "The message is the medium." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005)      "Lame." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Satellite (2006)      "A fairy tale about love: aren't they all." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Satin Rouge (2002)      "an essentially awkward version of the lightweight female empowerment picture we've been watching for decades" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Savage Island (2003)      "A statement about man, culture, and how they don't often make 'em like they used to." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Savages (2007)      "A fine middlebrow addition to the end-of-year sweepstakes, as good as expected, as bad as feared, and gone without a ripple." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Save The Green Planet! (2005)      "Wrapped up in all this madness is an affecting human core." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Saved! (2004)      "Guilty of every single sin for which it skewers its cardboard Christian villains." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Saving Face (2005)      "Something of a neo-Jane Austen." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Saw (2004)      "A bad film badly written, badly performed, badly scored, and most of all, badly directed, Saw's a mess, a waste of flesh. And I don't mean that in a good way." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Say It Isn't So (2001)      "It's a powerfully boring misfire of a movie that you find yourself feeling sorry for by the end" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Say It Isn't So (2001)      "It's a powerfully boring misfire of a movie that you find yourself feeling sorry for by the end" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Scanners (1981)      "The film is awkward and, at its worst, listless and meandering." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Scary Movie 3 (2003)      "The picture doesn't even respect the movies it mocks enough to understand what it is about them that fails." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      School of Rock (2003)      "With guys like Linklater and White at the helm, anonymity is a tremendous disappointment, and that disappointment is really something like a compliment." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Science of Sleep (2006)      "More exhausting than illuminating." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002)      "Pleases that segment of the audience perversely delighted by the subversive corruption of other people's children." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Scoop (2006)      "What's most shocking is that a puff of dust and cobwebs don't erupt from his mouth every time it creaks open to deliver another pun about Trollope/trollop." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Score (2001)      "A workmanlike film that is technically fine and emotionally vacant." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Scorpion King (2002)      "Every time Johnson performs a body-slam or a suplex the creepy wet sound of a thousand eyeballs rolling fills the theatre." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Scotland, PA (2002)      "The audacity to view one of Shakespeare's better known tragedies as a dark comedy is, by itself, deserving of discussion." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Scratch (2002)      "The message of such reflections--intentional or not--is that while no art grows from a vacuum, many artists exist in one." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Sea (2003)      "enough heatless monologues to bore Victor Hugo" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Sea Inside (2004)      "A miserable little gimp-of-the-week exercise awash with clichés and platitudes that the real Sampedro would probably have found condescending." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Seabiscuit (2003)      "Ponderous mainstream pap of the "suspended mote" school of controversy-free nostalgia." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Sealab 2021 - Season 4      "Oh, I get it. It's hostile." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Searching for Debra Winger (2002)      "tableaux of the damned" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Secondhand Lions (2003)      "To see Osment react to a door closing is akin to watching someone get defibrillated." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Seconds (1966)      "Frankenheimer's paranoia trilogy is like a Darwin chart of the evolution of the American Bogeyman." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Secret Ballot (2002)      "Samuel Beckett applied to the Iranian voting process." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Secret Life of Words (2006)      "Can't resist the meaningful political backstory that will transform her characters into symbols--that is, into ventriloquist dummies rattling off humdrum rhetoric." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Secret Lives of Dentists (2003)      "Understands how the small worries of small people are, to them, all the troubles in the world." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Secret of Roan Inish (1995)      "As menacing and wondrous as films get." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Secret Things (2003)      "Part sexual odyssey (more a sexual inferno), part trenchant sociological exposé." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Secret Window (2004)      "The greater question is why folks who have demonstrated relatively good judgment in the past equivocated themselves into a dimwit pot-boiler." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Secretary (2002)      "The Graduate by way of humiliation and water sports." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Seeker (2007)      "a lot of shouting offered up as an ineffectual camouflage to the picture's complete lack of ambition." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
