East-West (1999) |
"Recommended only for the most devoted soap fans, 'East-West' earns our early nominations both for Fuzziest-Thinking Director and for Most Pretentious Film of the Year.
" |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"Eastern Promises, a sleek, stylish thriller about slavery within the seedy underworld of the Russian mob in Britain." |
Matthew Yeager |
Tomato |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"I enjoyed Easy Virtue with its witty dialogue, great character acting and the mother-in-law from hell." |
Emily S. Mendel |
Tomato |
El Bola (2000) |
"Deliberately and skillfully uses ambiguity to suggest possibilities which imbue the theme with added depth and resonance." |

Elegy (2008) |
" ... another Hollywood-delivered message declaring the ultimate rightness of romantic love between a 65-year-old man and a woman who is decades younger." |
Beverly Berning |
Tomato |
Elephant (2003) |
"An observant movie quite unlike any other focusing on teen life" |
George Wu |
Tomato |
Elling (2002) |
"unpretentious, charming, quirky, original" |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
The Embalmer (2003) |
"A twisted and fascinating tale, with a climax that's as logical as it is unexpected" |
Pamela Troy |
Splat |
The Emperor's Club (2002) |
"A film with its heart in the art-house but its head (and purse-strings) in Hollywood." |
Nigam Nuggehalli |
Tomato |
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) |
"It may not be vintage Disney, but it's a holiday entertainment as light and ephemeral as cotton candy." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Encounters At the End of the World (2007) |
"This is Werner Herzog at his best -- a cynic with a big heart, and a nasty wit." |
Beverly Berning |
Splat |
The End of August at the Hotel Ozone (1966) |
"Ponderously slow pacing and vague historical, psychological, and moral allusions." |

The End of the Affair (1999) |
"The End of the Affair is a treasure trove of fine acting." |
Tom Block |
Splat |
End of the Spear (2006) |
"The vision and values the film celebrates are at such odds with the reality it has refashioned as a breathless melodrama, it is hard to not give in to temptation and poke fun at its unintentional camp." |
Les Wright |
Splat |
Endurance (1999) |
"We leave the film having learned very little, other than that this exceptional long distance runner is certainly quite an athlete." |
Dak |
Tomato |
The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (2001) |
"Frank Hurley's images by themselves make 'The Endurance' worth seeing." |
Tom Block |
Splat |
Enemy at the Gates (2001) |
"Enemy never gets to that visceral place -- you're outside looking in, watching a spectacle of someone else's horror." |

Eragon (2006) |
"The viewer is not transported to the magical, complex and elaborate kingdom of Alagaësia of the book, but rather is merely observing action scene followed by action scene. " |
Emily S. Mendel |
Splat 3/10 |
Erin Brockovich (2000) |
"Jimmy Stewart in a see-through blouse." |
Tom Block |
Tomato |
Eros (2005) |
"Wong masterfully creates a sense of profound yearning--the screen seems saturated with unfulfilled and unrequited erotic longing." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"Dazzles as its predecessors did, but its core of melancholy and heartbreak makes it a harder experience to shake off." |
Scott Von Doviak |
Tomato |
Eternity and a Day (1998) |
"It is a statement about the work of an artist, a collector of diverse elements then molded into a coherent, beautiful whole." |

Eureka (2001) |
"A meditation on death played out in crisp, sepia-toned images of such evocative power that they linger for days after seeing the film." |
Gary Mairs |
Splat |
The Event (2003) |
"Doesn't have the ring of truth to it at all and the forced plot setup is dragged down still further by Parker Posey's flat and unconvincing performance." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat 5/10 |
An Everlasting Piece (2000) |
"The film begins as an attempt to deal with an impossible situation through
comedy, but it settles instead for the broadest possible gags." |
Gary Mairs |
Tomato |
Every Little Step (2009) |
" ... wonderfully entertaining and emotionally genuine ... Every Little Step actually improves on the original." |
Emily S. Mendel |
Tomato |
Everybody's Famous (2001) |
"[Director] Deruddere never condescends to the characters--as foolish as they may be, she respects them and sympathizes with them and so do we." |
Arthur Lazere |
Splat |
Everyday People (2004) |
"Appealing and interesting characters, but [McKay] spreads his film too thinly over too many of them, resulting in sketches, rather than portraits." |
Arthur Lazere |
Tomato |
Everything is Illuminated (2005) |
"Severely hampered by a screenplay that waters down much of the book’s power, but the blow isn’t lethal" |
Jesse Paddock |
Splat |
Everything Strange and New (2009) |
"Frazer Bradshaw's debut feature reeks of a need to do something grand, and its attempt to reach high art makes its failure that much more obvious." |

Evil (2003) |
"The second half of 'Evil' takes this genre into new and challenging territory." |
Les Wright |
Tomato |
Evolution (2001) |
"The players are obviously having a great time and their comic energy is contagious." |
Bob Aulert |
Splat |
Exiled (2007) |
"...Exiled is compromised by the feeling one gets that Johnnie To has been watching too many westerns. Like in a Sergio Leone movie, all the characters try to strike iconic poses, clad with shades, munching on cigars, tilted gun in hand." |
Beverly Berning |
Splat |
Exiled (2007) |
"Exiled is compromised by the feeling one gets that Johnnie To has been watching too many westerns." |
George Wu |

Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) |
"A great waste of time, talent and resources" |
Pamela Troy |
Tomato |
The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen (2000) |
"In an era when many films compete to scare the hell out of you, The Exorcist remains one of the few able to successfully scare the hell into you, a feat which assuredly deserves another go-round." |
David Fear |
Splat |
The Experiment (2002) |
"Uneven... The pace can be kinetic, even frantic, or as glacial as a Tarkovsky meditation." |
Jerry Weinstein |
Splat |
Exterminating Angels (2007) |
"If the movie was meant to render sympathy to Brisseau, it only reinforces how monstrously repugnant he is. The audacity to suggest his complete innocence makes the whole thing seem like black comedy, only the core sentiment is not funny." |
George Wu |
Splat |
Eye of the Beholder (1999) |
"So hyper-conscious of its own movie-ness that it’s hard to care very much about the characters moving listlessly through its scenery." |
Tom Block |
Splat |
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) |
"...more rewarding to analyze than it is to see." |
Tom Block |
Tomato |
Eyes Without a Face (1959) |
"A modernist horror film infused with the spirit of the silent avant garde" |
Gary Mairs |
