Tomato 2.5/4 |
E-Dreams (2002) |
"Even though it's common knowledge that Park and his founding partner, Yong Kang, lost Kozmo in the end, you can't help but get caught up in the thrill of the company's astonishing growth." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Tomato 4/4 |
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) |
"A masterpiece that deserves to be seen and appreciated on a big screen." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
Eagle Eye (2008) |
"There are lots of new wrinkles to ponder about American surveillance, but it seems that all the writers have surveilled is HBO." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"A pleasing New Zealand gloss on Napoleon Dynamite, full of geek posturing, sweet weirdness and disarmingly modest goals." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 1/4 |
Earth Days (2009) |
"Crusty eco-hippies spin random anecdotes about olden times in Earth Days, a turgid documentary on the environmental movement in the 1960s and '70s." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
East of Havana (2007) |
"The film makes an ironic point about Cuba: This is a land where the grandparents are revolutionaries (or at least say they are) but the kids are yearning for capitalist globalization." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"[Viggo Mortensen] lends a moral complexity to Eastern Promises that makes it much more than just a very accomplished action thriller." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Easy (2003) |
"There's much too much going on here, enough for an entire season of a TV sitcom, which Easy should have been in the first place." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"The first Noel Coward play to hit the big screen in more than 40 years, Easy Virtue is a crass, heavy- handed and -- most unfor givably -- largely laugh-free adaptation of The Master's infrequently revived 1924 comic melodrama." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
Eat This New York (2002) |
"A documentary with a terrific name but a blurry premise." |
Megan Lehmann |
Splat 2/4 |
Eating Out (2005) |
"May be predictable and silly, but it's never dull." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eban and Charley (2000) |
"Bolton could easily have exploited the film's unsettling issues, but he takes a nonsensationalized approach that leaves viewers to decide the moral questions for themselves." |

Eden (2008) |
"An Irish indie that is well-observed and well-acted -- but ultimately, not much more exciting than the love lives of its lead characters." |

The Edge of Heaven (2008) |
"All too often, films about interconnected lives stumble under the weight of coincidences. Not The Edge of Heaven. Akin, who also scripted, is too savvy to let that happen." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Edge of Love (2009) |
"The movie makes for an engaging enough period piece." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Edmond (2006) |
"It may be too bleak for most, and as befits a movie based on a one-act play (written by Mamet in 1982), it can be speechy." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Education of Charlie Banks (2009) |
"The Education of Charlie Banks wants to be The Great Gatsby of college movies. It falls a tad short." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Edukators (2005) |
"Director and co-writer Hans Weingartner provides a witty, genre-busting script for a talented cast." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 2/4 |
Eight Below (2006) |
"The dogs deserve the star treatment, because whenever [Paul] Walker and the other two-footers take over it's as if Jack Nicholson has yielded the spotlight to, say, David Schwimmer." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eight Legged Freaks (2002) |
"[A] real pleasure in its laid-back way." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Eight Miles High (2007) |
"Has little to offer beyond titillation and pretty landscapes." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eisenstein (2002) |
"Best enjoyed as a work of fiction inspired by real-life events. Those seeking a definitive account of Eisenstein's life would do better elsewhere." |

El Bola (2000) |
"Never [sinks] into exploitation." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
El Bonaerense (2003) |
"Director Trapero drives home his message -- the thin line between crooks and cops -- without hitting viewers over the head or seeming to point fingers." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
El Carro (2003) |
"El Carro boasts a lovable ensemble cast, with a standout performance by Zaira Valenzuela as 14-year-old Paola. With a pierced nose and black Converse All-Stars, she's the family's - - and the film's - - driving force." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 1/4 |
El Cortez |
"Stick with Hitchcock." |

Splat 2/4 |
El Leyton (2002) |
"El Leyton never rises above the level of a soap opera, although the steamy sex and Lo's abundant nudity might make it worthwhile for some viewers." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eldorado (2008) |
"Eldorado is fueled by the chemistry between Lanners and Adde. They're so good together, they should make a sequel." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Election (2005) |
"Nobody familiar with [director] To will be surprised by the way he presents stylish violence in innovative and humorous ways." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Electric Shadows |
"Dreamy lighting, soft colors and lilting music mix with an agreeable cast." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 2/4 |
Elegy (2008) |
"A windbaggy film of Phillip Roth's novella The Dying Animal." |
Linda Stasi |
Splat 1/4 |
Elektra (2005) |
"Resembles nothing so much as a dumbed-down, PG-13 version of Kill Bill, put together by a team tone-deaf to bad dialogue, atrocious acting, cheesy special effects and clumsily staged action sequences." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elephant (2003) |
"The minimalist Elephant is not going to satisfy audiences who need everything spelled out for them, but others will find it a refreshing approach to social problems that defy facile explanations." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
The Elephant King (2008) |
"Director-writer Seth Grossman provides a lazy narrative, with stereotypical characters and plot. You just know what's going to happen, although the statuesque Faivre might take your mind off the shortcomings." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 2/4 |
Eleven Minutes (2009) |
"Though this is the rare documentary that admirably admits recording "reality" on film actually shapes how people behave under the camera's gaze, I think Eleven Minutes is going to appeal mostly to hard-core fashionistas." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elf (2003) |
"A pleasantly old-fashioned, gee-whillikers Yuletide confection rescued from Schmaltz-ville by the subversive comic talents of Will Ferrell." |
Megan Lehmann |
Splat 1/4 |
Elite Squad (2008) |
"For nearly two hours, Padilha bombards viewers with senseless, sickening violence for its own sake." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Expect a fast-paced, beautifully mounted and well-acted soap opera with overripe dialogue that plays fast and loose with history -- just like they did in the '30s, '40s and '50s -- and you won't come away disappointed." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"Choppily edited and only sporadically funny." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |
"An ugly-looking mismash of a fairytale." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
Ellie Parker (2005) |
"Naomi Watts is the only explanation for the existence of the student-y digital video feature Ellie Parker" |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elling (2002) |
"Ellefsen and Nordin originated their roles on an Oslo stage, resulting in two lived-in character portrayals which lend this offbeat comedy a sweet sincerity." |
Megan Turner |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elsa & Fred (2008) |
"Credit director Marcos Carnevale with beautifully pulling off this schmaltzy premise, as well as restaging the famous scene at Rome's Trevi Fountain from La Dolce Vita with his elderly lovers in place of Marcello Mastroianni and Anita Ekberg." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 2/4 |
Elvira's Haunted Hills (2002) |
"More entertaining than much of the big-studio schlock out there." |
Lou Lumenick |

The Embalmer (2003) |
"Creepy." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 0/4 |
Emerald Cowboy (2003) |
"Thanks to the amateurish, spectacularly talent-free quality of its cinematography, direction, writing and acting, Emerald Cowboy is simply impossible to sit through." |
Jonathan Foreman |

Emile (2004) |
"Tenderly touches our emotions." |
