Seed of Chucky
Seed of Chucky pushes the boundaries of the first installment into brand new territory, offering a satire of Hollywood and daring to be controversial.
|
 |
Sicko
Sicko takes on Uncle Sam's health system, forcing comparisons with services in other countries.
|
 |
Signs
If The Sixth Sense didn't put M. Night Shyamalan's name on the map as Hollywood's greatest new storyteller, then Signs will. Shyamalan gets back on the filmmaking horse in his latest film, which he wrote, directed, and produced.
|
 |
Silent Light
Silent Light is one of those films that stands out because of its undeniable aesthetic values, but which leaves the audience twiddling its thumbs and puts forward an overly hermetic mysticism.
|
 |
The Silly Age
A bittersweet coming-of-age tale set in Havana in 1958 on the eve of the Cuban Revolution.
|
 |
Sinful
A creepy, gory and disturbing tale about a young woman desperately wishing to have a child even though she can't conceive, Sinful is the kind of second-rate horror movie that can always find its audience, mostly because it's twisted enough to satisfy sick film fanatics.
|
 |
A Simple Plan
Simple Plan features a sleepy middle class town in the dead of winter à la Fargo that's disturbed by an unexpected bag of $4 million that has fallen from the sky. Sam Raimi focuses here on the psychology of the characters.
|
 |
The Sixth Sense
The Sixth Sense is a surprisingly well-crafted and smart little psychological film that sucks you in and manipulates you for your own pleasure.
|
 |
Sleepy Hollow
In a nutshell, delightfully appalling. Heads roll and roll and roll, bloodying the winter snow in Tim Burton's latest, a highly adapted adaption of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow". He does not hesitate in delivering the macabre, gothic, creepy, bloody, surreal, and of course, funny.
|
 |
Snakeskin
A homage to the American road movie set in New Zealand, Gillian Ashurst's debut Snakeskin is a colorful and fun ride that sometimes bites its own tale.
|
 |
Snatch
Following the laborious but popular Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels, Snatch should make it possible for English director Guy Ritchie to broaden his public to the American frontier.
|
 |
Soi Cowboy
Entirely filmed in Thailand, Soi Cowboy takes its title from a red light district of Bangkok.
|
 |
The Son
With The Son, the Dardenne brothers are back with their mascot, actor Olivier Gourmet, in a film where a man finds himself face to face with the murderer of his son.
|
 |
Solaris
By approaching Andrei Tarkovski's classic Solaris, Steven Soderbergh has created an unexpected clone, a respectful and bare variation that never pretends to challenge the original but is equipped with its own individuality and beauty.
|
 |
The Son's Room
Guilt and memory run through each of Nanni Moretti's films in a nostalgic or satirical fashion but as always the construction is complex and of a rare aesthetic integrity.
|
 |
Soñar No Cuesta Nada
Based on a true story, Soñar No Cuesta Nada follows a group of anti-guerrilla soldiers, whose lives are turned upside down after finding $45 million hidden in the jungle.
|
 |
The Soul of a Man
A segment of The Blues, an enthusiastic series dedicated to that genre, The Soul of a Man is a documentary directed by Wim Wenders that becomes attached to three outstanding performers of this music, starting with Blind Willie Johnson, a matchless blind Texan singer and guitarist.
|
 |
Southbounders
An indie feature shot on DV on a shoestring budget, Southbounders follows Olivia a young woman who decides to take a break to venture on the Appalachian Trail.
|
 |
Southland Tales
The apocalypse according to Richard Kelly resembles a sophisticated Z series, that's excessive and confused, where the disincarnated figures of a decadent world become agitated.
|
 |
Space Cowboys
Space Cowboys, by and starring Clint Eastwood, is a relaxed and funny movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. The film follows the training of a group of retired would-be astronauts who are only ones capable of repairing a satellite threatening to fall to earth. Does that sound familiar? It should, since above all it is a satire of Armageddon.
|
 |
Spider
In Spider, Cronenberg forsakes his organic universes for very cerebral fiction.
|
 |
Spider-Man
Sam Raimi's Spider-man is a surprisingly self-restrained work whose charming and quiet self-mocking narrative sometimes bursts into pure adrenaline. A perfect way to symbolize Peter Parker's character, the real hero of this film.
|
 |
Springtime in a Small Town
With only a handful of characters, a bare setting and an almost contemplative pace, Springtime in a Small Town resembles a play.
|
 |
Spirit
Some beautiful animation serves an inept story: not recommended for people above age 7.
|
 |
Spirited Away
Spirited Away is a spectacular film, the latest and possibly final (the director announced his retirement) work of anime from director Hayao Miyazake.
|
 |
Spy Game
Robert Redford demonstrates that his flame burns just as brightly in Spy Game, a breathless and nervy espionage film that has not been seen in a long time.
|
 |
Stigmata
"It will scare the hell into you" claims the ad for Stigmata featuring Patricia Arquette and Gabriel Byrne. Who knew that one could catch Stigmata like one could catch a cold?
|
 |
Stolen
There is something fascinating about the world of art thieves and the underground market for stolen art.
|
 |
The Straight Story
David Lynchâ.s latest provocation, The Straight Story is a lucid G-rated film produced by Disney. Even so, beyond genres, The Straight Story is simply a perfectly successful small film.
|
 |
Sugar Town
Sugar Town gives a close look at struggling in the entertainment industry in Hollywood. But instead of going for a dark melodrama, the film plays the irony and realism cards while preserving a sense of affection for its characters.
|
 |
Surveillance
Surveillance disappoints even more especially since it paints the portrait of two serial killers who are particularly cruel and devoid of conscience
|
 |
Sweat
Bathed by a scorching sun, Sweat, a truck road movie, plunges us into the dryness of the Moroccan desert following the transport of a stolen load of gold.
|
 |
Sweet Sixteen
After the railroad war in The navigators, Ken Loach returns with Sweet Sixteen, a film about the war on drugs with some of his favorite themes in the background: the share of humanity that fights in a world filled with difficulties.
