Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"Jarrod, Lily and the rest, while odder than just about anyone you know, are recognizably human, with motivations and histories that dig deeper than most comedies are willing to go." |
Katey Rich |

Daniel Eagan |

David Noh |
Tomato |
Earth (2009) |

Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
East Is East (1999) |
"Always stays firmly grounded in real-life family emotions-from laughter to tears, from hate to love." |
Shirley Sealy |
Splat |
East of Havana (2007) |
"There are some memorable, evocative moments, but they are spoiled by the film's obvious and simplistic politics." |
Eric Monder |
Tomato |
East Palace, West Palace (1997) |
"[Has] a sophistication and haunting complexity that would be the pride of any open Western auteur." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
East-West (1999) |
"Offering fine, if not the most eye-pleasing, production values and convincing acting, East-West and its important theme deserve attention." |

Rex Roberts |
Tomato |
Eban and Charley (2000) |
"Andrade has a tremulous, faun-like quality which rings true, and Fellows succeeds in making you eventually sympathize with Eban's tortured soul." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
The Edge (1997) |
"With its stripped-down emphasis on surviving the elements and a natural predator, The Edge generates more suspense than many a fabricated action thriller." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
The Edge of Heaven (2008) |
"Slowly paced but never dull, filled with quiet moments that add up to a thoroughly moving experience." |
Lewis Beale |
Splat |
The Edge of Love (2009) |
"British biopic about Dylan Thomas, his wife, Caitlin, and their relationship with another couple is as maudlin as a poet after too many pints." |
Rex Roberts |
Tomato |
Edge of Seventeen (1998) |
"Has a winning empathy and observant sense of the Midwestern locale which bring freshness to a tale that's been told many a time before." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Edmond (2006) |
"Mamet's relentless attempts to provoke viewers seem pretty childish today." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
EdTV (1999) |

Doris Toumarkine |
Splat |
The Education of Little Tree (1997) |
"The film spends far too much time around the moonshine still and hypocritical local church at the cost of other, more interesting lessons." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
The Edukators (2005) |
"It's deeply heartfelt and affecting, filmed with a nervy camera style that lends a vivid immediacy to the action." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
The Eel (1997) |
"An alternately poignant and funny film which transcends the limitations of its seemingly ludicrous plot." |
Richard Porton |
Tomato |
Egoļste: Lotti Latrous (2007) |
"[Anspichler's] reliance on mostly interior scenes, dark and haunting, projects a mood of constant horrors suffered in secret by the innocent." |

Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
Eight Legged Freaks (2002) |

Lewis Beale |
Tomato |
Eisenstein (2002) |

David Noh |
Tomato |
El Bola (2000) |
"An exceptional film." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
El Bonaerense (2003) |
"Brimming with wry humor, softened by the filmmaker's Renoir-like love of his protagonist, El Bonaerense is a masterful illustration of vitiation, the sort that simple men like Zapa are heir to." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
El Leyton (2002) |

Eric Monder |
Tomato |

Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
Elegy (2008) |

Chris Barsanti |
Splat |
Elektra (2005) |
"As for Garner, she remains a lovely screen presence, but it's impossible to buy her as an emotionless killing machine." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat |
Elephant (2003) |
"In opting for style over substance, [Van Sant] has produced one of the most vacuous and irresponsible films of the year." |
Lewis Beale |
Tomato |
Eleven Minutes (2009) |
"This delirious, delicious, deconstructing look at the recent real-world entry into fashion of reality-TV's first "Project Runway" winner Jay McCarroll should round up the usual suspects of gay, style-conscious viewers and many others eager for a good time" |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Elf (2003) |
"One of the year's best comedies, right up there with Finding Nemo, A Mighty Wind and School of Rock." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat |
Elite Squad (2008) |

Chris Barsanti |
Tomato |
Elizabeth (1998) |
"Kapur certainly throws a lot her way, but such is Blanchett's ability that she carries it all off." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"It's a full-scale star performance in every sense...and I wouldn't be surprised if, like Helen Mirren last year, Blanchett walks away with an Elizabethan Oscar." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"The magic just isn't there." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |

Harry Haun |
Tomato |
Ellie Parker (2005) |
"Game for almost anything, Watts displays serious comic chops and is, as always, a delight to watch." |
Lewis Beale |
Tomato |
Elling (2002) |

Maria Garcia |
Tomato |
The Embalmer (2003) |
"Art-house audiences, who demand more daring and commitment than this mesmerizing but basically teasing effort is willing to provide, will still find much that is seductive." |

Maria Garcia |
Splat |
Empathy (2004) |
"Siegel's attempt to unveil psychotherapy's strange nostrums for female depression is labyrinthine and intellectually abstruse, more feminist polemic than good filmmaking." |
Maria Garcia |
Tomato |

"Chen's is a blazing, exceptional entertainment." |
Peter Henne |
Tomato |
