E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) |
"Bravo." |
|
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"If Napoleon Dynamite were a little older, had a libido and lived in New Zealand, he'd be Jarrod" |
||
Tomato 4/5 |
Earth Girls are Easy (1989) |
"Stupid but wonderful." |
|
Splat |
Eban and Charley (2000) |
"Few things are quite as frustrating as a film that chooses a highly controversial subject then proceeds to give it the kid-glove treatment." |
|
The Edukators (2005) |
|||
Tomato |
Eight Legged Freaks (2002) |
"It's just a perfect movie for people who like to shout at the screen, so have at it." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Eight Men Out (1988) |
"Why do people like baseball? (No answer required.)" |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Electric Dreams (1984) |
"One of the more amusing computer-phobia flicks from the '80s, with an amazing title song by Girogio Moroder." |
|
Elektra (2005) |
|||
Tomato |
Elvira's Haunted Hills (2002) |
"This horror-comedy doesn't go for the usual obvious laughs at the expense of cheap-looking monsters -- unless you count Elvira's hooters." |
|
The Embalmer (2003) |
|||
Tomato |
The Emperor's New Clothes (2002) |
"In tampering with history, these storytellers present to us a rare and wonderful case of enlightenment beyond the accepted truth." |
|
Tomato |
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) |
"Much of it -- most of it -- ranges from very funny to hilarious, and director Mark Dindal maintains a fine, headlong pace." |
|
Tomato |
The End of the Affair (1999) |
"Heartfelt, thoughtful." |
|
End of the Spear (2006) |
|||
Tomato |
The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (2001) |
"It's an amazing story." |
|
Splat |
Enemy at the Gates (2001) |
"Cornball and sanctimonious, an anticommunist diatribe dolled up like war porn filled with loving shots of bodies being obliterated, reduced to sinew and bone." |
|
Splat |
Enigma (2002) |
"The technical explanations are impossibly difficult for a lay person to follow (screenwriter Tom Stoppard probably understood it all and forgot he had to write for the rest of us)." |
|
Tomato |
Enough (2002) |
"It's hard to hate the film. Even though it pushes all the familiar buttons, it does them well enough to make its target audience clap." |
|
Envy (2004) |
|||
Equilibrium (2002) |
"Hard to take as seriously as its creators clearly intended." |
||
Splat 2/5 |
Eraser (1996) |
"It's a little better than the godawful script it was based on, but not by much." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Eraserhead (1976) |
"The purest essence of David Lynch. The DVD may be $40, but it's worth it, particularly if you've never seen it." |
|
Splat |
Erin Brockovich (2000) |
"It's the first Steven Soderbergh film to smack of work for hire." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
Ernest Goes to Camp (1987) |
"Totally undeserving of its status as a punchline, this may be no classic but it's a fine kiddie tale" |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Ernest Goes to Jail (1990) |
"Jim Varney at the peak of his comedic powers, playing two instantly distinctive roles. If you only ever see one Ernest movie, make it this one." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Ernest Rides Again (1993) |
"The best non-Disney Ernest movie, and a fun ride no matter what stuffy elitists would have you believe" |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Ernest Saves Christmas (1989) |
"A Christmas classic. Jim Varney is sorely missed in my heart." |
|
Splat |
Escaflowne The Movie (2000) |
"A 93-minute condensation of a 26-episode TV series, with all of the pitfalls of such you'd expect." |
|
Splat 1/5 |
Escape From L.A. (1996) |
"Less a sequel than a really crappy remake!" |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
"Possibly the least of the series, but certainly not a predictable sequel." |
||
Splat |
"It's a bad sign when you're rooting for the film to hurry up and get to its subjects' deaths just so the documentary will be over, but it's indicative of how uncompelling the movie is unless it happens to cover your particular area of interest." |
||
Tomato |
Esther Kahn (2002) |
"Beautifully produced." |
|
Eternal (2005) |
"Neron and Pla look like porn stars and have about the same level of acting ability." |
||
Ethan Mao (2005) |
"For a low-budget indie with no special effects, Ethan Mao is a treat to look at." |
||
Tomato |
Eureka (2001) |
"Eureka is, in its very long run, well worth the investment of time." |
|
Eurotrip (2004) |
|||
Splat 2/5 |
Eve's Bayou (1997) |
"Pretentious as all hell, sorry." |
|
Tomato |
An Everlasting Piece (2000) |
"Wacky high jinks ensue, but the comedic situations are never at the expense of the tense environment that surrounds them all." |
|
Tomato |
Everybody's Famous (2001) |
"An original and inventive farce." |
|
Splat |
Everything Put Together (2001) |
"Spending an hour and a half with a gloomy, static lunatic hardly makes for a scintillating evening out, no matter how pretty she may be." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Evil Dead (1979) |
"Terrifying when it came out, hilarious now. Funny thing is it's equally enjoyable either way." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Evil Dead 2: Dead by Dawn (1987) |
"Will forever define the careers of Raimi and Campbell, no matter what else they do, and they should be proud." |
|
Splat |
Evolution (2001) |
"Watching Evolution is not a little like being haunted by an old ghost, only to discover it's just a half-crazy uncle wandering around in a white sheet." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
The Ewok Adventure (1984) |
"Is there such a thing as 'sucks, lovingly'? I guess there is..." |
|
Tomato |
Exit Wounds (2001) |
"[Bartkowiak] does coax a better performance from Seagal than we've seen since his gig as SNL host in the early 90s." |
|
Splat |
"A movie so 'scary' it borders on being silly." |
||
Tomato 4/5 |

The Experiment (2002) |
