Tomato 3/5 |
Eagle Eye (2008) |
"The more that's revealed about the forces at work on Jerry and Rachel, the less interesting the plot becomes." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Eagle Eye (2008) |
"And you thought Live Free or Die Hard turned real issues into rubbish." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"Neither human nor beast will find this amusing." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Earth (2009) |
"Full of great, gorgeous footage. Beautiful enough to forgive Disney for Hannah Montana: The Movie." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4/5 |
Earth Days (2009) |
"The film's message might sound overstated during these eco-savvy times, when trendy phrases like 'carbon footprint' are right up there with 'skinny jeans.' But that doesn't make Earth Days any less riveting." |
Alexis Loinaz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"An unforgettable bathhouse brawl immediately takes a place among Cronenberg's best and most outrageous sequences (and with this director, that's really saying something)." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"Significant tension keeps a minimal plot on ice, with changes that are small but precise, like a blade that grazes your throat moments after it appears." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"While Eastern Promises works overall on more of a low, insinuating simmer, it's one of Cronenberg's most satisfying pictures." |
Michael Phillips |
Tomato 4/5 |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"[Jessica Biel] really proves herself here, taking charge of the movie with a breakthrough performance that's charming, sexy and effortless." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Eden (2008) |
"The kind of small movie that's all too easy to overlook, but even easier to like once you've seen it." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Edge of Heaven (2008) |
"A harrowing head-scratcher that gets under your skin to question the chance moments that either bring people together or rip them apart." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 3/5 |
The Edge of Love (2009) |
"Even when Lindsay Lohan's not in a movie she can still screw it up." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Education of Charlie Banks (2009) |
"If Banks had actually opened pre-Longshots it would have signaled a surprisingly smart start for Durst's filmmaking career." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 2/4 |
Eight Below (2006) |
"Uninspiring and bland, Eight Below leaves you with nothing more than a greater appreciation for the insulating power of fur." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Elegy (2008) |
"Not even the nude love scenes can distract from the fact that Cruz has finally cracked the English-language barrier." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Elephant King (2008) |
"An indie dud that mistakes lurid sensationalism for cultural exploration." |
Geoff Berkshire |

Eleven Minutes (2009) |
"Eleven Minutes chronicles McCarroll's post-Runway emancipation. In the process, a clear sketch emerges: that of a candid, insecure and insanely talented young designer in search of a venue for his vision." |
Alexis Loinaz |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Like a bad second season of a breakout TV show, the original was laudable but the sequel's simply laughable." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 1/4 |
Employee of the Month (2006) |
"The only two onscreen items with any star quality belong to Simpson, and they're barely contained in shirts that seem to be holding on for dear life." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Enchanted (2007) |
"One of those rare pieces of 'all ages entertainment' that will actually work for all ages, Enchanted succeeds most of all as a showcase for its superb leading lady." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Encounters At the End of the World (2007) |
"Herzog possesses the unique ability to revel in his own eccentricity without ever losing his charm." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Eragon (2006) |
"A dragon with audible thoughts and no voice is even less interesting than one who can talk." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Escapist (2009) |
"First-time feature director Rupert Wyatt knocks it out of the park in a confident debut crackling with dank, sweaty, claustrophobic kineticism." |
Alexis Loinaz |
Splat 2/4 |
Evan Almighty (2007) |
"Might be saved if the laughs equaled the number of scenes with critters pooping." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/4 |
Evening (2007) |
"The epitome of artsy-fartsy twinkling that doesn't actually shine a light on anything." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3/5 |
Everlasting Moments (2009) |
"A pretty piece of art, but the kind that's hermetically sealed and ready for a museum." |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Everybody's Fine (2009) |
"Holiday movies should make you appreciate family, and the film, which explores lies that are meant to protect, is a warm-hearted ode to real connections and imperfections." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Ex (2007) |
"Neither Braff nor Bateman will look back on The Ex as a worthwhile relationship but a one-night stand that left them with a headache and an unpleasant burning sensation." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/4 |
Exiled (2007) |
"Nothing but a series of repetitive gunfights and bad conversations." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 4/5 |
Expired (2008) |
"Turns its uncomfortable central relationship into a fascinating study of symbiotic personalities." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/5 |
Explicit Ills (2008) |
"A serious social drama without insight, a unique point of view or, seemingly, much of an understanding of its own issues." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Express (2008) |
"Won't make you feel much, because you've already felt it the same way, in the same manner from other stories that got there first with more charisma." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 2/4 |
Exterminating Angels (2007) |
"Little more than Lesbians Lesbians Lesbians." |
Matt Pais |
Tomato 3/5 |
Extract (2009) |
"[Mike] Judge's most modest offering yet -- less quotable than Office Space, less provocative than Idiocracy" |
Geoff Berkshire |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Extract (2009) |
"The year's funniest movie by about 100 laughs." |
Matt Pais |
Splat 3/5 |
The Eye (2008) |
"The Eye never aspires to be anything more than slick sleepover fodder, but at least that qualifies as a step up for Alba." |
