E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) |
"It's a movie with a stationary camera and spare gestures, reminding us of Spielberg's genius for simplicity." |

Eagle Eye (2008) |
"Eagle Eye promises to blow your mind with a big reveal, but my mind was already blown trying to enumerate just how many movies it rips off along the way." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato B- |
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"Eagle Versus Shark redeems itself with a generous spirit and a good heart." |

Earth (2009) |
"It's very instructive and hey, where else can you see footage like this? On Animal Planet, the Discovery Channel, the National Geographic Channel, etc., just about every night." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat C |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"I know it's a period piece, but the attitudes are dated to the point of being nonsensical. The actors seem to sense this, and ramp up their performances to fill the void." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Eight Below (2006) |
"It's a sturdy, old-fashioned adventure yarn." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Election (1999) |
"Crisply written and ingeniously plotted!" |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
Elektra (2005) |
"It's really hard to believe that any of this is meant to be taken seriously, not for a split second, yet there is Garner, stalking morosely about as if she's doing Eugene O'Neill instead of a dopey fantasy actioner." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Elephant (2003) |
"The movie doesn't feel irresponsible (or worse, contemptuous), and its shapelessness seems to hint that Van Sant's big idea is a rejection of the many Big Idea theories that attended the Columbine massacre." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato B+ |
Elf (2003) |
"If Christmas ran on laughs, Ferrell would have us up to our butts in sugar plums." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat C |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Blanchett [does] her level best to keep control of a movie going in 10 directions at once." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) |
"It's funnier, livelier, looser and more irreverent than most Disney animated fare." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
Empire (2002) |
"There are too many predictable moments and laughable lapses in credibility to make Empire work as a crime drama with real gravity." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato B |
Enchanted (2007) |
"Enchanted squeaks by on the charm of its performers, particularly Adams." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
End of Days (1999) |
"Suffers from a glaring lack of imagination." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
End of the Spear (2006) |
"Spear, financed and distributed by Christian groups, is independently made and sometimes rough around the edges, with unusual moments of religious sincerity and expression." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (2001) |
"Unless you are a penguin or a seal, you are likely to find something dramatic in this testament to our survivability." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
Enduring Love (2004) |
"Loses altitude steadily after the memorable prologue." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Enemy of the State (1998) |
"Somewhat superficial, but not half bad!" |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) |
"Room does a thorough (and entertaining) job of detailing Enron's arrogant, Darwinian corporate style." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
Entrapment (1999) |
"A weak thriller!" |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
Envy (2004) |
"Rarely do comedies collapse as swiftly and as utterly as this one." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
Eragon (2006) |
"I left Eragon feeling like I'd just watched a Renaissance Faire stage its own production of "Star Wars."" |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"Like other Kaufman screenplays, this one is devilishly hard to make both lucid and entertaining, but Gondry succeeds on both counts, pulling the audience into an increasingly dark, suspenseful and even touching psychological adventure." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Eurotrip (2004) |
"The movie is completely, flagrantly irresponsible, and probably offensive, although it's the kind of Anti-PC movie that gets laughs not by being tasteless, but by piling about 10 levels of irony on top of the idea of tastelessness." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato B |
Evan Almighty (2007) |
"If Jerry Falwell weren't dead already, this movie might have killed him." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Evelyn (2002) |
"In a season of strenuously ambitious art, the laid-back modesty and accessible charm of Evelyn is a welcome relief." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato B- |
Every Little Step (2009) |
"The grindingly familiar metrics of reality-TV elimination shows clash with an interesting retrospective documentary in Every Little Step." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato B- |
Everybody's Fine (2009) |
"Every parent in the theater will be cursing director Kirk Jones as they honk their way through several dollars worth of Kleenex." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato |
Everything is Illuminated (2005) |
"Schreiber has managed ... to preserve key themes and Foer's off-kilter comic tone." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
Evolution (2001) |
"After dropping $8 on Evolution, you may find yourself thinking of Reitman and saying, 'He slimed me.'" |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
The Ex (2007) |
"The result is a wildly uneven movie, with some big laughs here and there. For the most part, though, it looks like the kind of concept comedy that was pitched to Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Vince Vaughn or Owen Wilson, and didn't quite make the cut." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato B |
The Express (2008) |
"Performances help hold the movie together -- Brown is solid, Quaid's natural charm takes the edge off Schwartzwalder's recalcitrance, and Omar Benson Miller chips in another charming supporting turn as Davis' best friend." |
Gary Thompson |
Tomato B |
Extract (2009) |
"Judge isn't much of an auteur (to say that his movies are clunky is charitable), but he's hard to beat for sheer, unpredictable orneriness." |
Gary Thompson |
Splat |
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) |
"The pace of movies and storytelling has increased rapidly every year, and exponentially overall, but Eyes Wide Shut finds Stanley stubbornly operating at pre-MTV levels." |
