Splat
2/4

Eagle Eye (2008)

"This cautionary tale about the perils of technology might seem more sincere if the movie ever stopped trying to indoctrinate us into being good consumers with its incessant product placement..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Earth (2009)

"The Disney connection marks 'Earth' as a worthy heir to the Oscar-winning 'True-Life Adventures' the company produced from 1948 to 1960..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

Eastern Promises (2007)

"As exactingly wrought as an anatomical diagram or one of Mortensen's symbolic tattoos, 'Eastern Promises' celebrates the wonder, power and fragility of the human body, from infancy to death."

John Beifuss

Splat
0.5/4

Easy Virtue (2009)

"Will appeal only to Anglophiles who swoon at the sound of such words as 'codswallop'..."

John Beifuss

Splat
'2.5/4'

The Edukators (2005)

"This supposedly progressive movie unintentionally delivers a sexist message as old as the garden of Eden: Don't let a woman get involved, because she'll mess things up. "

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

Elegy (2008)

"A male-flattering romantic/tragic fantasy for mature intellectuals unable to identify with the young man's fantasies of Judd Apatow movies."

John Beifuss

Tomato
4/4

Elephant (2003)

"Watching 'Elephant,' you begin to understand how Scrooge must have felt during the evening he spent with the ghosts in 'A Christmas Carol.'"

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Elf (2003)

"Offensive instances of product placement put the lie to the idea that 'Elf' is more interested in promoting Christmas cheer than in collecting Christmas coin..."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

"The elaborate costumes and set decoration provide the only interest."

John Beifuss

Splat
'0.5/4'

Elizabethtown (2005)

"By the time Elton John sings, 'Soon as this is over, we'll go home,' moviegoers will be way ahead of him."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Enchanted (2007)

"Maintains a delicate balance between wish-fulfillment fantasy and a recognition that the world inhabited by its audience is filled with disappointment as well as with joy..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Encounters At the End of the World (2007)

"There's something highly entertaining, kind of hilarious and almost endearing about director Werner Herzog's insistence on reacting to each new revelation in his documentary films with a pronouncement of doom..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (2004)

"Dee Dee is the most humorous band member, as he remembers the halcyon days of pre-fame Forest Hills: 'We would hang out, sniff glue or smoke pot... listen to the Stooges...'"

John Beifuss

Tomato
'3.5/4'

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005)

"Enron swindlers gave phantom companies such names as 'Jedi' and 'Death Star'; clearly, hubris of Darth Vaderesque proportions was at work here."

John Beifuss

Splat
0.5/4

Eragon (2006)

"Stefen Fangmeier establishes himself as the Uwe Boll of family-friendly fantasy."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Eurotrip (2004)

"The American tourists react with xenophobia, cluelessness and destructiveness; whether intentional or not, the parallels to U.S. foreign policy are clear..."

John Beifuss

Splat
0.5/4

Evan Almighty (2007)

"The fact that God is depicted as a black man makes this post-Katrina flood tale particularly disturbing. Apparently, God wasn't concerned with finding a righteous man in New Orleans' Ninth Ward, but here he saves a rich white suburb from drowning."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Evening (2007)

"The handsome period design strives for authenticity, yet when the wedding party listens to a recording of 'I've Got the World on a String,' we don't hear Sinatra or Peggy Lee but 21st century neo-swingster Michael Buble."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Every Little Step (2009)

"'God, I hope I get it!' sing the characters auditioning for a dance part in 'A Chorus Line'; this documentary examines the real-life faces behind that sentiment..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
2.5/4

Everybody's Fine (2009)

"Contains an honest, thoughtful, relatively unmannered De Niro performance..."

John Beifuss

Splat
'2.5/4'

Everything is Illuminated (2005)

"As with many road trips, the destination isn't as rewarding as the journey..."

John Beifuss

Splat
'2.5/4'

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

"A 'Song of Bernadette' for a violent show-me age, with Emily Rose helping to restore the faith of those around her with visions of hell rather than heaven. "

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Extract (2009)

"Perhaps because of the increased influence that comes with greater celebrity, Judge now seems to sympathize with management instead of labor, a shift in perspective that may prevent this movie from achieving the cult status of 'Office Space.'"

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

The Eye (2003)

"One thing 'The Eye' teaches us is that a 15-floor elevator ride really seems to take a long time when there's a ghost standing in the corner."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Eye of the Dolphin (2007)

"There are too many fishy family crises and too few fishlike mammals in this earnest 'Flipper' update, which soft-pedals its New Age agenda until a climactic speech that promises we can learn from our dolphin pals 'not just intellectually but spiritually.'"

John Beifuss
