Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh A	Fresh 91%	Every Little Step (2009)	" *finally, A Chorus Line* gets its due in film*" — Old School Reviews* Posted Jun 7, 2009
Fresh B-	Fresh 88%	El Bruto (1952)	" a Frankenstein variant as the title character is physically as strong as the cattle he slaughters, yet the gentle soul remains vulnerable to the charms of women" — Old School Reviews Posted Feb 25, 2008
Fresh B+	N/A	The Elephant God (1978)	" Overall, Joi Baba Felunath is very enjoyable and well constructed. For Satyajit Ray fans, its a welcome sight to see him return to the banks of the Ganges--�the same location so prominent in Aparajito." — Old School Reviews Posted Jul 9, 2007
Rotten C	N/A	The Eyes of Van Gogh (2004)	" Unfortunately, the film is destined for a very limited audience as presently constructed; it plays as a Cliff's Notes visual introduction to the artist's letters to his brother." — Old School Reviews Posted Jul 9, 2007
Rotten C-	Fresh 83%	The Emperor Jones (1933)	" Despite its marked deficiencies ... remains a "must see" for historic and cultural purposes" — Old School Reviews Posted Mar 4, 2007
Fresh B	Fresh 83%	Equinox Flower (1958)	" Ozu demonstrates that he can adjust readily with a Technicolor palate to present a warm family drama that moves as steadily as one of his signature trains" — Old School Reviews Posted Feb 14, 2007
Fresh B	N/A	Earth/The End of St. Petersburg/Chess Fever (1927)	" Chess enthusiasts will especially enjoy this little gem" — Old School Reviews Posted Sep 29, 2006
Fresh B+	Fresh 76%	Earth (1999)	" penetrating portrait that cannot be ignored or ever forgotten" — Old School Reviews Posted May 9, 2006
Rotten C-	Fresh 78%	Exils (2004)	" worth checking out for cultural illumination and for its striking musical score" — Old School Reviews Posted Apr 25, 2006
Fresh B+	Fresh 97%	Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005)	" goes a long way to explain exactly why Enron imploded" — Old School Reviews Posted Jan 31, 2006
Rotten D	Rotten 27%	Elizabethtown (2005)	" Dunst and Bloom were far more believable in their widely watched comic book and fantasy films" — Old School Reviews Posted Oct 11, 2005
Rotten D	Rotten 45%	The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)	" Horror Film Screen Writing for Dummies, anyone?" — Old School Reviews Posted Sep 4, 2005

Rotten C+	Fresh 87%	East of Eden (1955)	" the real reason that this film has any legs at all (and the ONLY reason that Warner Brothers has released the DVD) rests with James Dean" — Old School Reviews Posted Jun 29, 2005
Fresh B-	Fresh 76%	Expiration (2003)	" introduces an unpretentious filmmaker with a promising future" — Old School Reviews Posted Mar 21, 2004
Fresh A-	Fresh 71%	Elephant (2003)	" achieves profundity�not through didactic Oliver Stone style expos�but by presenting an ordinary day in the life of various students as prelude to unthinkable tragedy" — Old School Reviews Posted Jan 14, 2004
Fresh B	N/A	Empires - Martin Luther (2002)	" *definitive cinematic introduction to Martin Luther, avoiding the short cuts that the fictional Luther* takes to paint his portrait*" — Old School Reviews* Posted Oct 22, 2003
Fresh B	Fresh 100%	Europa Europa (1991)	" uses the historical background only as a backdrop to the fears and isolation Solly must undergo without dwelling on the evils of the Holocaust" — Old School Reviews Posted Mar 21, 2003
Fresh B-	Fresh 91%	El Bola (2000)	" Although largely a heavy-handed indictment of parental failings ... the film retains ambiguities that make it well worth watching" — Old School Reviews Posted Dec 12, 2002
Rotten 2/5	Rotten 50%	The Emperor's Club (2002)	" *A soulless rehashing of Dead Poet's Society* is hardly the savior of American education*" — ToxicUniverse.com* Posted Nov 25, 2002
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 84%	Elling (2002)	" Elling really is about a couple of crazy guys, and it's therapeutic to laugh along with them." — ToxicUniverse.com Posted Sep 4, 2002

Fresh B	Fresh 85%	The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2000)	" unpretentious documentary that gives us a much deeper understanding of a most intriguing icon" — Old School Reviews Posted Jan 1, 2000
