Rating	Title Year	Quote	Author

Splat 2/4	Eagle Eye (2008)	"So colossally ridiculous (and transparently derivative) that willing suspension of disbelief is a fool's errand. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
-	Eastern Promises (2007)	"David Cronenberg & Viggo Mortensen: [Mortensen:] That's a puzzle...if you look at Schopenhauer, he talks about compassion. And why does someone, when it does him no good whatsoever, go and assist someone?"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	Eastern Promises (2007)	"Eastern Promises' unusually ambiguous character study makes for a different kind of crime drama, a striking if not entirely satisfying one."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	Easy Virtue (2009)	"A period piece that may play well with those who hate period pieces. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3.5/4	The Edge of Heaven (2008)	"Thomas Wolfe wrote, "You can't go home again," but the new film from Fatih Akin explores a number of ways one can."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	The Edge of Love (2009)	"Maybury tackles the great Dylan Thomas in The Edge of Love, a speculative investigation into a cloudy period of the poet and dramatist's personal life. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	Edmond (2006)	"By design, nasty, brutish, and short...functions as drama because shock crosses through sensationalism to a kind of purity in the character study of a man in desperate need of repair."	Peter Canavese
-	Edmond (2006)	"William H. Macy and Stuart Gordon: '[Macy:] I don't know if I find him a repulsive character. As a matter of fact, I don't....all the little pieces I find to be logical and true, true to the human experience.'"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	The Edukators (2005)	"Weingartner proves too ready to pat his inner rebels on their backs....[but asks] provocative questions about liberal revolt...and the effect of age on ideology."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	Eight Below (2006)	"Marshall sort of gets away with murder by walking the line of pitiless Antarctic cold and family-film warmth."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3.5/4	El Norte (1984)	"On the surface El Norte is the essence of simplicity. But in 1983, the simple story was both news to many and history to many others finally seeing their story depicted on screen on their terms. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 4/4	Election (1999)	"A funny and horrifying allegory of American politics and adult society, as seen through the prism--or shall we say "prison"?--that is secondary education. [Blu-ray]"	Peter Canavese
Splat 2/4	Elektra (2005)	"Though the attempt is moody and earnest, I can't say that it's smart or memorable."	Peter Canavese
Splat 1/4	Elizabethtown (2005)	"A character plans out a 42-hour-and-11 minute journey accompanied by a 16-CD soundtrack....Elizabethtown feels every bit as long and music-saturated..."	Peter Canavese
Splat 2.5/4	Ellie Parker (2005)	"Watts' performance is brave and jazzy, but Coffey's riffing lacks lasting impact."	Peter Canavese
-	Ellie Parker (2005)	"Scott Coffey on Ellie Parker: 'Watching Naomi become a big movie star, and then we go back to shoot again. That was kind of--pretty surreal.'"	Peter Canavese
Splat 1/4	Employee of the Month (2006)	"Cook's usual persona is annoying, but with his volume turned down here, he's even more of a zero."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	Encounters At the End of the World (2007)	"A Discovery Channel production about Antarctica that breaks the mold with Herzog's eccentric musings and auteur's eye."	Peter Canavese
Splat 1.5/4	End of Days (1999)	"The plot is such hooey...and the plot holes so gaping that End of Days proves more exasperating than enjoyable. [Blu-Ray]"	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	Eros (2005)	"I'd say that this mixed bag is better toted home from a video store, but Wong Kar-Wai's just not as swoony on a picture tube...cineastes, proceed with caution."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 3/4	The Escape Artist (1982)	"Offers plenty to appeal to children and adults, and the clever ending delivers one more treat to pay off the story's tricks."	Peter Canavese
Splat 1/4	Eternal (2005)	"A terrible script, pedestrian direction, and acting that's mediocre at best signify that Eternal...[is] ready-made, moderately sexy fodder for late-night Skin-emax."	Peter Canavese
Splat 2/4	Evan Almighty (2007)	"Will presumably charm wee ones, and...go over like gangbusters with the holy rollers, but others may notice this comedy of faith skimps on the comedy."	Peter Canavese
Splat 1.5/4	Evening (2007)	"From its laughably lyrical opening to its bow-tying resolution, Lajos Koltai's Evening invites comparisons to Hallmark Hall of Fame TV movies."	Peter Canavese
Splat 1/4	Everyone's Hero (2006)	"Never explains its stupid idea of a talking baseball and a talking bat...The filmmakers presume too much in assuming we'll accept the "magic" "realism"..."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)	"An exploitation picture given the �A� treatment...Putting aside the nagging liberties taken with Anneliese Michel's experiences...[it's] a good scary movie."	Peter Canavese
Splat 1/4	Exorcist: The Beginning (2004)	"The prequel...just goes to show, once again, that The Exorcist was a one-of-a-kind film. But you know how it goes: the power of cash compels them. "	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	The Express (2008)	"Like a biography plucked from the shelf of a grade-school library...includes ample inspiration and sufficient history to get to its destination in "express" fashion."	Peter Canavese
Tomato 2.5/4	Extract (2009)	"Bateman reliably tickles in his signature role of a square who can't catch a break, and Wiig once more delivers subtly funny character work in a tricky role."	Peter Canavese
