"There's nary a smug frame to be found here." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 4/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eight Below (2006) |
"If you thought imperiled emperor penguins were heartwrenching, beware of these dogs." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Eight Legged Freaks (2002) |
"The '50s camp classics may have used models with strings leading them toward their prey, but Eight Legged Freaks forgoes the suspense and goes straight for the killjoy." |
|
Tomato 3/4 |
Elephant (2003) |
"It is hard to make absolute sense of. Yet it invites us to feel quite strongly about our conclusions." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 4/4 |
Elevator to the Gallows (1957) |
"The plot crackles with energy and misdirection, while the black-and-white film sharpens angles and amplifies the shadows lurking in every hallway." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Elf (2003) |
"Leaves a sour taste in the mouth and a Grinch-like resolve to sue the manufacturer." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 1/4 |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"Plot development in Elizabethtown comes purely because the script says it must, not because the actors or the story make it seem probable." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |
"Though slightly uneven, this film version of Ella Enchanted never wavers from the magic of author Gail Carson Levine's words for girls: The demands of obedience should not be used to chain their souls." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Empathy (2004) |
"An intelligent if shifty riff on the relationship between psychoanalyst and subject." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Emperor's Club (2002) |
"If you stay with the story's overly familiar arc, there is an unexpected plot twist that redeems the film, and makes a valuable point." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato |
End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (2004) |
"[A] compelling film." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato |
The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (2001) |
"Anyone interested in great stories should be interested in this one." |
Dick Kreck |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Enigma (2002) |
"Ultimately, clarity matters, both in breaking codes and making movies. Enigma lacks it." |
Steven Rosen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Enough (2002) |
"You wonder why Enough wasn't just a music video rather than a full-length movie." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 4/4 |
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) |
"Go see it before you buy another stock you don't understand. Go see it before you bank your retirement on the company pension fund. Go see it before you vote in another election." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 2/4 |
Envy (2004) |
"Far too much of it is unfunny." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2/4 |
Eragon (2006) |
"There are lots of recycled movie lines, as ageless and hard to kill as a dragon: You are brave, but foolish ... Murder them all, but the boy is mine ... Most dragon riders take years to learn what you know by instinct. Etc., etc." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato |
Erin Brockovich (2000) |
"Roberts does what the best movie stars do. She makes you believe in Erin Brockovich as a living, breathing human being even as you're also constantly aware that you're watching Julia Roberts on screen." |
Steven Rosen |
Splat |
Eros (2005) |
"It is fairly melancholy news that the works of two of Antonioni's admirers outshine the master's segment." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"A loving, often rigorous look at love gone awry." |
Lisa Kennedy |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Evan Almighty (2007) |
"Here's the funniest thing: In trying desperately to reconnect with religious Americans, Hollywood assumes religious Americans are so dumb they'll laugh at anything." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Every Little Step (2009) |
"Every Little Step is a feat of editing and sound design." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Ex (2007) |
"So much of comedy is in the timing, though, and The Ex doesn't quite know when to quit. Or at least move on." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
Examined Life (2009) |
"Illuminating, even moving." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Exiles (1961) |
"Rife with astonishing black-and-white images of an unknown L.A. and clashing sounds of bars, cinemas and poker games, The Exiles is one of those movies that functions as both artifact and fresh discovery." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) |
"Emily Rose succeeds not so much with re-branding, but through good old-fashioned star power." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Express (2008) |
"The Express delivers visceral gridiron energy. Fleder and his crew capture the moments so many athletes refer to as 'being in the zone.'" |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Exterminating Angels (2007) |
"Gorgeous French silliness, yes, featuring stunning women having languorous, artful sex with each other. What was I saying? Oh yes, the silliness. Artful, gorgeous, sexy, sure, but ridiculous nonetheless." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
Extract (2009) |
"These days, it appears to be a rare gift to do comedy in a way that comes across as smart, but never superior or willfully crass. Bateman has that talent to spare." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato |
The Eye (2003) |
"Seeing dead people? A jarring journey from darkness into light? Granted, it's been done. But there are sweet, difficult pleasures here just the same." |
Lisa Kennedy |
