[movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       D+      Sahara (2005)      "The most exciting adventure based on a third-rate paperback and directed by the son of a movie mogul ever produced! Which is to say, not actually exciting at all." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B-      Salton Sea (2002)      "A neo-noir thriller as compelling as it is repugnant, it holds images and themes of such haunting power that you're willing to overlook the unpleasant stench surrounding it." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C      Saw (2004)      "Though it has its share of unsettling moments, it's not nearly as scary as it wants to be." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C-      Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002)      "Sometimes, fond memories should stay in the past: a lesson this film teaches all too well." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       F      The Scorpion King (2002)      "Oh come on. Like you couldn't smell this turkey rotting from miles away." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       A-      Seabiscuit (2003)      "Seabiscuit is a triumph of storytelling craftsmanship, a great film less for its subject matter than with the care it takes in presenting it to us." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C+      Secret Window (2004)      "For all its technical prowess, it can't shake the feeling that we've seen this all before... and that it was probably better the first time." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       D      The Sentinel (2006)      "It's obvious that nobody believed in this project longer than it took for the check to clear." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B      Seraphim Falls (2007)      "A breath of fresh air in a season that dearly needs one." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C+      Serenity (2005)      "An amiable B-level spinoff of a cult sci-fi series whose reach clearly exceeds its grasp." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       4.5/5      A Serious Man (2009)      "A Serious Man isn't an easy film to enjoy, but that's kind of the point." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com       B      Severance (2007)      "A Cold War postmortem that shades the triumph of the West with the bloody mess we seem to have inherited." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B+      Sexy Beast (2001)      "Unlike his protagonist, [director Jonathan] Glazer understands that you have to keep moving or die. Sexy Beast keeps moving with a vengeance" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B-      Shaft (2000)      "Even with a pro like Samuel L. Jackson in the title role, it has a hard time keeping the balls in the air." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       D      The Shaggy Dog (2006)      "The Shaggy Dog is wholesome, yes. And safe. And homogenized and soulless and utterly devoid of anything worthwhile." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C+      Shanghai Knights (2003)      "At times, it feels just as fresh and funny as the first film... which makes the periodic dead patches all the more difficult to bear." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B+      Shanghai Noon (2000)      "Not only does it resurrect a nearly defunct sub-genre, but it succeeds far more than it has any right to." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       D      Shark Tale (2004)      "Psst! DreamWorks! Your Nemo envy is showing!" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B+      Shoot 'Em Up (2007)      "The best guilty pleasure of the summer... arriving just a couple of weeks too late." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       A      Shrek (2001)      "Smart, funny, technically proficient... and taking no prisoners. Bless its twisted little heart." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       A-      Shrek 2 (2004)      "Score one more for the big green ogre." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C      Shrek the Third (2007)      "What does it profit an ogre if he gains the whole world and loses his soul?" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B+      Shut Up & Sing (2006)      "A fascinating and well-executed hybrid: combining musical biopic and political examination to produce something more memorable than either would be on its own." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B-      Sicko (2007)      "The target is simply too large and too obviously broken to keep the film from hitting home." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       A-      Signs (2002)      "…an eerily suspenseful, deeply absorbing piece that works as a treatise on spirituality as well as a solid sci-fi thriller." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       3.5/5      Silverado (1985)      "It's like a colossal buffet: You take what you want and leave the rest, readily forgiving the worst of it because the best just tastes so good." [movie review]      Filmcritic.com       B      The Simpsons Movie (2007)      "A bit past its prime, but still delivering some very funny class-clown iconoclasm." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C+      Sin City (2005)      "Accuracy isn't the same thing as quality." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C-      Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)      "Sinbad feels more like a stopgap than an actual production: something to make a little money while they finish their next real picture." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B+      Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004)      "[It] reminds us how much fun the movies are supposed to be." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C+      Sleuth (2007)      "While the cons do finally outweigh the pros... oh what marvelous pros they are." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       A-      Slumdog Millionaire (2008)      "The point isn't whether all of it is implausible -- it is -- but how easily that implausibility seduces us." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B-      Smart People (2008)      "Murro works overtime to find the humanity in his characters, and with help from the cast, the search eventually pays off." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C-      Smokin' Aces (2007)      "We ask for so little from movies like this; the least it can to is place its disposable thrills in a decently constructed package." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B-      Snakes on a Plane (2006)      "A diverting bit of faddish silliness; enjoyable for what it is, but presuming more in its oddly postmodern way than it has any right to." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B      Snatch (2001)      "This wicked diversion continues the trend against bloodless Masterpiece Theater adaptations, and reminds us that there's life in British filmmaking yet." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B-      Solaris (2002)      "While Soderbergh succeeds in recapturing the themes and mood of Tarkovsky's version, he also brings with them a cold, emotionless sheen, a detached air that defeats his efforts to truly engage us." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B      Somersault (2006)      "As a psychological portrait, it's indelible. As a filmgoing experience, however, it definitely requires patience." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C      Space Cowboys (2000)      "Space Cowboys doesn't so much embrace high concept as get dragged behind it kicking and screaming." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       A-      Spaced: The Complete Series (1999)      "Pegg, Stevenson, and Wright know their demographic uncannily well, having shared their experiences and looked at the world through the same skewed lenses as most Gen Xers." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       D+      Speed Racer (2008)      "By trying to convince us that we're having a good time even as it pounds us senseless, Speed Racer moves beyond mediocrity and into the realm of active irritant." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B+      Spider-Man (2002)      "For an hour or so, it really achieves something memorable. The rest of the time, it contents itself with merely being a solid, entertaining ride." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       A-      Spider-Man 2 (2004)      "Oh yeah. That's the sweet spot." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B      Spider-Man 3 (2007)      "These people know what the hell they're doing, and after five years of practice, they're not about to drop the ball now." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B      The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)      "The mood never wavers, allowing The Spiderwick Chronicles to develop into an exciting and largely watertight adventure." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       C-      Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002)      "…its solemn pretension prevents us from sharing the awe in which it holds itself." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B+      Spirited Away (2002)      "Spirited Away conjures up a beautiful, diverse, richly envisioned tale that constantly delights... even when it verges on the limits of coherence." [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       D      Spy Kids (2001)      "…a monstrosity from the depths of Disney Channel hell, a funhouse nightmare with no apparent exit sign" [movie review]      Flipside Movie Emporium       B+      Star Trek (2009)      "Yes, it's a popcorn flick--and a first-rate one at that--but it also grants these figures a freshness they haven't possessed in a long time."
