Tomato 8/10
The Edge of Heaven (2008)
"It isn't enough for director and writer Fatih Akin to show that we're all only a few degrees from each other across countries; rather, he's also interested in the level of connectedness."
Jeffrey Chen
Tomato 7/10
Eight Legged Freaks (2002)
"May be spoofing an easy target -- those old '50's giant creature features -- but ... it acknowledges and celebrates their cheesiness as the reason why people get a kick out of watching them today."
Elephant (2003)
"Such raw depiction of violence ... makes us wish we could be hopeful and find a way to prevent such acts, but Elephant offers us no solace."
Tomato 6/10
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)
"Reasonably entertaining show of flourishes, colors, strong emotions, some intrigue, and heightened moments of drama ... around a weak center."
The Emperor's Club (2002)
"Makes the case for a strong education and good teachers being more valuable in the way they help increase an average student's self-esteem, and not strictly in the knowledge imparted."
Enchanted (2007)
"Disney's idea is to postmodernize their own princess franchises, and instead of going after them with snark, the references are giddy and gleeful (and quite numerous)."
Encounters At the End of the World (2007)
"Seeing the movie becomes a method of understanding, of putting into perspective, our place and limited privilege on Earth."
Splat 4/10
Enough (2002)
"Offers a set-up that is best described as cheap, cheap, and cheap."
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005)
"An expose on how greed, pride, and self-preservation instincts goad ambitious people to the outer capacities of deception and immoral behavior."
Eragon (2006)
"The feeling of a rip-off is so blatant that it practically ends all other discussion of the movie."
Tomato 10/10
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
"The most emotional movie I've watched in a while because it reveals the true, priceless value of memories, and makes their loss worthy of panic."
Evan Almighty (2007)
"I have no clue where anyone would come up with this idea and why they thought it would be funny, but, worse yet, it's not even utilized in a way that makes it worth the time."
Everything is Illuminated (2005)
"An admirably ambitious directorial debut by actor Liev Schreiber, not because of a large scope but more correctly because of its small one."
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)
"Consider it an opening salvo now awaiting return fire from The Da Vinci Code."
