Eagle Eye (2008) |
"Eagle Eye is big, loud and expensive, but it's not particularly entertaining." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2/4 |
Earth (2009) |
"For a round-the-world trip, it feels a bit like a budget bus tour." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"[Cronenberg's] most straightforward and accessible movie since The Fly." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
Easy (2003) |
"A small but satisfying romance with a pleasant soundtrack and some unusual backdrops." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1/4 |
Edmond (2006) |
"A thriller that's dated, pointless and sludgy slow (even clocking in at 76 minutes)." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat |
The Edukators (2005) |
"The film is less a bohemian thrill ride than a slow lecture." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 2/4 |
Eight Below (2006) |
"Watching the canines scamper across glaciers is far more entertaining than watching Walker wander around depressed. The movie should be more March of the Huskies and less Dude, Where's My Sled?" |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato |
El Bonaerense (2003) |
"Credit El Bonaerense with journalistic single-mindedness and, given recent Argentine history, sheer guts." |
Bob Campbell |
Tomato 3/4 |
Election (2005) |
"There is social commentary to be sure, but there are also some solid action thrills." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Elegy (2008) |
"A remarkable example of the actor at his best -- conveying wounded hurt or burning hunger with a glance." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2/4 |
Elektra (2005) |
"Half of it feels like pure, Saturday-morning cartoon show. Half feels like an attempt at an actual relationship drama. They should have listened to the first half." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
Elephant (2003) |
"The movie itself has no feeling." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
Elf (2003) |
"A resounding success in the laugh department, but it tries to warm hearts as well, and eventually collapses under the weight of its own sugarplum schmaltz." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 2/4 |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Even the chance to see Cate Blanchett strut and fret upon the stage, shooting haughty glances left and right, isn't enough reason to tour this rambling Tudor mansion, full of overstuffed bedrooms and empty suits of armor." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"Like most journeys, Elizabethtown could have used a bit more planning; its detours make backseat drivers of us all." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |
"Mostly ... the film bubbles along happily." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ellie Parker (2005) |
"If the film had any point beyond the pitfalls of starlet-dom, though, it's long been forgotten, as the movie descends into a series of acting-class moments." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Employee of the Month (2006) |
"Employee of the Month is a stupid comedy. But it's not witless." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
Enchanted (2007) |
"The results look something like an overscaled Muppet movie (which ain't such a bad thing in itself)." |
Steven Boone |
Tomato |
Encounters At the End of the World (2007) |
"He [Herzog] is cinema's poet of the empty spaces." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (2004) |
"More than most rock documentaries, End of the Century captures the strain of any group effort, and the toll the hard-rock life can take." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2/4 |
End of the Spear (2006) |
"Filmmakers don't need stories with a religious agenda any more than they need ones with an irreligious one. They don't need stories with any agenda, frankly. They just need good stories." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
Enduring Love (2004) |
"Enduring Love begins with such a stunningly macabre opening scene, it's a drag that the sequence is mere set-up for a ho-hum stalker story." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 3/4 |
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) |
"[Gibney] tells a complex story well, explaining how one once-obscure company ended up committing 'the corporate crime of the century.'" |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
Envy (2004) |
"One of the lamest comedies in recent memory." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 2/4 |
Eros (2005) |
"There's one good movie in here, sure. But unfortunately, it's over after the first 43 minutes." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Escapist (2009) |
"Too much of this movie about prison feels only like a movie about prison, with actors posing and directors getting poetic." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"Gondry still lags behind Jonze in rendering cohesive stories and human connection from Kaufman's adventures in self-analysis." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat |
Eulogy (2004) |
"Eulogy is dead on arrival." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
Eurotrip (2004) |
"Eurotrip doesn't try to reinvent the sex comedy wheel. It simply wants to shock you into hysterics, and more often than not, it sublimely succeeds." |
Lisa Rose |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Evan Almighty (2007) |
"The highlights of Evan Almighty aren't the supernatural moments but the scenes in which Carell grows comically flustered with his situation." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 2/4 |
Evening (2007) |
"Great cast, mediocre writing." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat |
The Event (2003) |
"Fails equally as lament and celebration." |
Bob Campbell |
Tomato |
Evergreen (2004) |
"Serves as a small, heartfelt corrective to all the tween fantasies being sold this year." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 3/4 |
Every Little Step (2009) |
"It's impossible not to get caught up in their struggles. This is the real American Idol, except there's no packaged tour, no People cover, no guaranteed record-deal on the end -- just the chance to do eight shows a week." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Everybody Wants to Be Italian (2008) |
"Constructed out of tired jokes, vaguely familiar actors and a few forced and predictable situations, it's strictly a harmless place-filler." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 3/4 |
Everyone's Hero (2006) |
"[A] simple, pleasant film ..." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Everything is Illuminated (2005) |
"Falls far short of illuminating Foer's complicated book. But it does provide the sort of low-key, road-trip ramblings we haven't seen since the'70s heyday of Hal Ashby." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 2/4 |
The Ex (2007) |
"The Ex is shrill when it means to be irreverent. It's frustrating to see the lead performers squandering their collective talent in a movie that fails to match the fun and pathos of their TV work." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Excellent Cadavers (2006) |
"It soon turns out that the only thing more boring than watching a reporter look up documents is watching a reporter pretend to look up documents." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato 3/4 |
Exit: The Right to Die (2006) |
"It's not the kind of documentary that leaves you feeling like you've only heard one side of the debate, that certain unsettling truths have been tactically avoided." |
Lisa Rose |
Splat 1/4 |
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) |
"This isn't a movie. It's a miscarriage of cinema." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat |
Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) |
"Although Harlin hasn't directed a full-out horror movie since 1988's A Nightmare on Elm Street IV, he seems to have spent most of the time since memorizing them." |
Stephen Whitty |
Splat 0/4 |
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008) |
"It shows us bogus security files, as if some cabal is spying on everyone. It shirks the facts. And it madly edits images to equate Darwin with Hitler, and Ben Stein with -- yes -- Ronald Reagan. Typical of all propaganda, it also distorts language." |
Stephen Whitty |
Tomato |
The Eye (2003) |
"Accomplished and genuinely eerie." |
