[movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Santa Smokes (2004)      "Made in 2002, Santa Smokes could rightfully be called the first incarnation of the 'bad Santa.'" [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Saved! (2004)      "I sat through this film with a perma-smile, and just thinking about it still makes me laugh." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Saw (2004)      "The simple setup ropes us in immediately and never lets up, and some of the imagery will stick with even the most hardened viewer for days." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A-      Saw II (2005)      "Saw II is, all things considered, a superior film to the first installment." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      School for Scoundrels (2006)      "Those who can't get enough of Heder's shtick will likely come away pleased, but those expecting a raucous, even offensive, comedy had best diminish their expectations." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      School of Rock (2003)      "One of the best comedies in years...the film never sells out to itself." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Screen Door Jesus (2005)      "When a film comes along that confronts tough issues and manages to keep everything real without dividing its audience, it deserves massive praise." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Seed of Chucky (2004)      "At least it knows it's bad." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      Semi-Pro (2008)      "Had a script been written, I'm confident that we could have had a great comedy on our hands." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Separate Lies (2005)      "A vigorous drama that will deliver for mature adults." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D      Seven Pounds (2008)      "Will Smith wants an Oscar. That much we understand. But if he thinks he can get one by playing a tragic character in very mediocre-to-bad movies, he's likely mistaken." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Sex and the City - The Movie (2008)      "The fact of the matter is that this review doesn't matter." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Shade (2004)      "Shade is the kind of film that makes for a perfect Saturday night rental." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Shark Tale (2004)      "The movie is clearly written and produced around the persona of Will Smith, which is either glorious news or cringe-inducing, depending upon who you are." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Shooter (2007)      "Is it preposterous? You bet. Will the politics piss off a good number of people? Most definitely. Do the bad guys get it, and get it good? Oh yeah. I think I just summed up the pitch meeting." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Shopgirl (2005)      "It's about high time that we get a mature, poignant commentary on relationships as they unfold in reality." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Shrek 2 (2004)      "Shrek 2 is the rare sequel that can compete with the original." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Shrek the Third (2007)      "DreamWorks, I beg of you, quit while you're ahead." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       --      Simpatico (1999)      Click here to see the review! [dvd review]      DVD Angle       A-      The Simpsons Movie (2007)      "A bewildering number of jokes are crammed into this feature, and it will take repeat viewings to catch it all. I have a feeling that this won't bother Simpsons fans in the slightest." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Sin City (2005)      "'They don't call it Sin City for nothing.'" [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      Smart People (2008)      "The film offers some witty one-liners, but it's largely a by-the-numbers affair that really just made me feel better about myself." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      Smokin' Aces (2007)      "Sure, the film looks slick, but the screenplay is a mess and it only comes across as absurd that a film that has no regard for human life for its first 100 minutes asks us to stop and care for its final eight." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Snakes on a Plane (2006)      "Does the film deliver? Undeniably yes. Snakes On A Plane may, in fact, be in the top three most supremely entertaining films I have ever seen." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B      Something New (2006)      "The film is smart and, given the current state of this tired and dumbed-down genre, that's worth some extra bonus points right there." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D-      Son of the Mask (2005)      "None of the sequences take time to develop and buildup; they're just thrown at us mindlessly." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Soul Plane (2004)      "Surprisingly enough (in fact, I am shocked), this film gets a lot of laughs." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Spartan (2004)      "A clinic for how this genre should be done." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony            Speed 2: Cruise Control (1997)      "This is the kind of movie that Chuck Norris would have made 15 years ago, except there would be two dozen bad guys and plenty more excitement." [movie review]      rec.arts.movies.reviews       D+      Speed Racer (2008)      "The film is absurdly complicated for such a young demographic, and at 135 minutes it will be a monotonous chore for most others." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C-      Spider-Man 3 (2007)      "If anything, Spider-Man 3 is another rude awakening as to just how important character development, especially in regards to its villains, and pacing is." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Star Trek (2009)      "This is premier summer entertainment." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Stardust (2007)      "Stardust contains a little something for all types of moviegoers, but above all else it has a fetching story, some fun effects, and just the kind of "happily ever after" ending that the genre always promises." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       F      Stealth (2005)      "Anyone with a Playstation 2, surround sound, and an aerial combat game can duplicate, if not surpass, this dismal display." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Step Brothers (2008)      "The majority of the gags, as crude as they can be, hit the mark and the interplay between Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly keeps the film from becoming a repetitive bore." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B+      Stop-Loss (2008)      "Rather than dwell with a bunch of debating politicians, Peirce explores the serious psychological issues that many soldiers have upon return from any war." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C+      Street Kings (2008)      "I was halfway expecting Leslie Nielsen to make a cameo appearance as the coroner." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       A      Superbad (2007)      "As much as it may scare a lot of parents out there, anyone who has been through the rigors and craziness of contemporary high school will find something to identify with." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       C      Superman Returns (2006)      "There is something to be said for having the Man of Steel back on the silver screen for a tune-up, but that's really all it is -- same old story, all new presentation." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       B-      Surf's Up (2007)      "Surf's Up delivers the early summer escapist fun that kids and parents are looking for, and that's all that can really be asked of it." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony       D+      Syriana (2005)      "...manages to take one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the world and turn it into a convoluted snooze fest. Color me shocked." [movie review]      FromTheBalcony
