E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) |
"Viewers returning to it, as well as those discovering it, will find it an enduring children's film -- but one whose impact has diminished with the passage of time." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eagle Eye (2008) |
"The movie doesn't have three brain cells to rub together, but the premise carries it a long way." |

Earth (2009) |
"For adults, Earth misses the mark of riveting storytelling. Earth crams in the dramatic adventures of several species (including penguins) -- with the result that it comes up short on telling one really good story." |
Justin Berton |

Eastern Promises (2007) |
"This is Mortensen and Cronenberg's second collaboration -- the first was A History of Violence -- and it's turning into a beautiful friendship." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"[Director] Elliott had a choice in Easy Virtue, to turn away from the horror or face it. He takes his time, but he eventually does face it -- and delivers up a good movie." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) |
"A spicy, well-written comedy about family, food and independence." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat 1/4 |
Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (2006) |
"Loaded with silliness and eye candy." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Tomato |
Ecstasy (1933) |
"The movie was made by the Czech Gustav Machaty, who had a particular affinity for erotic subjects told from a woman's standpoint." |

Ed Wood (1994) |
"An entertaining, oddly affectionate look at the cross-dressing grade-Z moviemaker." |

Eddie (1996) |
"It's a fresh, funny, engaging picture that sets up an arresting situation and then follows through on it realistically." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eden (2008) |
"To say it is bleak is an understatement. But it will make a lot of people reassess their marriages and decide that, in comparison, they're not so bad after all." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 2/4 |
The Edge (1997) |
"...The Edge is not only half-baked, warmed-over Hemingway." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Edge of Love (2009) |
"The Edge of Love holds a lot of promise in its first hour and never completely falls apart, but it's ultimately not the movie it might have been." |

The Edukators (2005) |
"With greater critical distance on the filmmaker's part, and a disciplined use of the editing scissors, it might have been something substantial." |
Walter V. Addiego |
Tomato |
The Eel (1997) |
"It sounds nuts, but one of the best movies in town is about the relationship of a man with his eel." |
Bob Graham |
Splat 1/4 |
Eight Below (2006) |
"The movie is overly long and much too intense for small children, yet it's filled with dialogue and plot turns that are too juvenile to thrill adult audiences." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eight Legged Freaks (2002) |
"Because Eight Legged Freaks is partly an homage to Them, Tarantula and other low- budget B-movie thrillers of the 1950s and '60s, the movie is a silly (but not sophomoric) romp through horror and hellish conditions." |

Elegy (2008) |
"Spanish director Isabel Coixet displays what is almost reverence for the material. You can imagine her whispering on the set. She brings out the absolute best in her top-notch cast." |
Ruthe Stein |

Elektra (2005) |
"Another inert, soul-dead action drama that turns actors into zombies." |
Mick LaSalle |

Elephant (2003) |
"A spellbinding piece of filmmaking." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 4/4 |
Elevator to the Gallows (1957) |
"As French crime thrillers go, this is about as good as it gets. It's also an important film historically, and to top it off, the jazz score, by Miles Davis, is famous in its own right." |
Walter V. Addiego |
Splat 2/4 |
Eleven Minutes (2009) |
"For general audiences, it could use a bit of, ahem, tailoring - taking in here and there." |
David Wiegand |

Elf (2003) |
"Funny and intelligently made, a film for kids and adults that's both sweet and sardonic." |

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"The danger in making a costume drama is that all of it will be as lifeless as wax figures. Kapur escapes this fate by relying on sex and a luminous star capable of being at once regal and alluring." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |
"Artful enough to intrigue adults and far more original than other versions of Cinderella portrayed onscreen with alarming regularity." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 2/4 |
Ellie Parker (2005) |
"Watts is alternately annoying, sympathetic and hilarious in the title role. She's always entertaining." |
Neva Chonin |

Elling (2002) |
"Blessed with two fine, nuanced lead performances." |
Carla Meyer |

Elsa & Fred (2008) |
"Elsa & Fred is worth seeing just to admire how Argentine writer-director Marcos Carnevale avoids so much as a whiff of condescension." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 2/4 |
The Embalmer (2003) |
"Mahieux ... builds a character so relentlessly powerful and creepy that The Embalmer leaves an aftertaste -- we can practically smell him." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 3/4 |
Emma (1996) |
"[Paltrow] plays the title role in Emma with wit, timing and a to-the-manor-born graciousness...It's an intelligent performance from an actress everyone was ready to dismiss as a lightweight." |
