E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) |
"I concede E.T.'s moments of genuine magic and grudgingly acknowledge its place in the canon of motion picture classics." |

Eagle Eye (2008) |
"We need to find some new places to stage foot chases, because the airport? It's been done." |

The Edukators (2005) |
"American movies don't have the capacity for such delicacy -- nor can they easily present their characters and situations as impartially as this one does." |

Edward Scissorhands (1990) |
"Burton's sweet Gothic fairy tale has lost none of its charm." |

Eight Legs To Love You (1998) |
"Everything is bathed in red light -- groovy, huh?" |
Michael Scrutchin |
Tomato 5/5 |
El Topo (1970) |
"The surrealist filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky created his own midnight cult version of the Spaghetti Western which, once seen, is not easily forgotten. Some of his macabre and mystical images linger, both fascinating and strange." |

Elektra (2005) |
"Both Garner and Elektra will likely survive, but that doesn't make it easier to watch this opportunity go to waste." |

Elf (2003) |
"Christmas candy should never be this stale... especially so early in the season." |

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"A failure on most any appreciable level: as compelling drama, as a history lesson, as a showcase for Blanchett's unparalleled talents... even as a sequel." |

Elizabethtown (2005) |
"No, Cameron! Not another musical interlude! Please, I'll be good!" |

Em Embalming (2005) |
"It's certainly not the next hidden gem of the Japanese horror boom, and viewers expecting that are likely to come away frustrated." |
Jim Harper |

The Emperor's New Clothes (2002) |
"At times, it waxes a little saccharine, but it believes fervently in its characters and story, and makes us believe in them too." |

Empire of the Sun (1987) |
"If you've ever wondered where the Spielberg of Schindler's List came from, look no further than this underappreciated gem — the first real sign that he was more than just a generator of warm fuzzies." |
Rob Vaux |
Splat C |
Enemy at the Gates (2001) |
"Its rarely-seen subject matter has real merit, and I suspect will distinguish the production for some time to come, but "new" and "different" don't necessarily mean "good."" |

Entrails of a Beautiful Woman (1986) |
"For better or for worse, Komizu has pushed the boundaries of bad taste even further." |
Jim Harper |
Splat D |
Entrails of a Virgin (1986) |
"Only likely to appeal to a very selective audience, thanks to the zero-budget production values and the graphic, over-the-top approach to both violence and sexuality." |

Eragon (2006) |
"God help us, there's going to be a director's cut, isn't there?" |

Erin Brockovich (2000) |
"This movie has the eerie tang of so many other wretched Roberts vehicles of the past…but somehow, it manages to produce a moderately good film" |

Eros (2005) |
"A haunting collection of notes that can't -- and maybe shouldn't -- be tied together." |
Rob Vaux |

The Erotic Witch Project (1999) |
"Delivers pretty much what it promises. The girl-on-girl action is more explicit than the softcore romps on late-night cable." |

Escape from New York (1981) |
"John Carpenter's apocalyptic thriller has aged remarkably well; its vision of Manhattan as a giant maximum security prison anticipates better-known dystopias like Blade Runner and Brazil." |

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"It cheerfully dives down the rabbit hole while other films are searching for the exit, reminding us that happiness -- true happiness -- has no easy answers." |

Evan Almighty (2007) |
"It simply regurgitates what marketing research has told it we want to hear, along with a few shots of pooping birds in a vain attempt at laughter." |

Eve's Bayou (1997) |
"The first line hooks you and the rest of the film reels you in." |
Rob Vaux |

Everything Moves Alone (2001) |
"It's not easy to pull off a sweet-natured comedy-drama that's both funny and touching, but they do it without forcing the laughs too hard or stooping to cheap sentimentality." |

Evil Dead Trap (1988) |
"There's more to entertain and bemuse in the 90 minutes of Toshiharu Ikeda's cult masterpiece than there is in any number of post-Scream slasher flicks." |

Evil Dead Trap 2 (1991) |
"By the time the credits roll the film has become tiresome and frustrating." |

Evil Laugh (1988) |
"As far as cheesy '80s horror movies go, Evil Laugh is one of the long-forgotten gems." |

The Evilmaker (2000) |
"A surprisingly accomplished and creepy ghost story with enough twists to keep you guessing until the final frame." |

Executive Decision (1996) |
"A dishearteningly jingoistic thriller, saved by sharp action scenes and a few decent surprises." |

Exiled (2007) |
"It looks slick, but without a little more steak beneath that sizzle, the pretense becomes intolerable." |
Rob Vaux |

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) |
"While scary in parts, Exorcism actually works as a taut legal thriller." |
