Eagle Eye (2008) |
"A ridiculous wrongly-accused-guy-on-the-run thriller." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"Eagle vs. Shark feels like a low-budget, foreign cousin to Napolean Dynamite, less polished and sly. But it's definitely in the same family, lulling us into friendly acceptance with its persuasively silly rhythm and deceptively big heart." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"Here is an excellent crime thriller made with grown-ups in mind." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"It lumbers instead of dazzles, drags where it should feint and jab." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Edmond (2006) |
"Quintessential David Mamet: brainy, playful, engaging." |
Marta Barber |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Edukators (2005) |
"Unless you're the sort who has a Che Guevara T-shirt tucked away somewhere in your closet, the needlessly long The Edukators wears out its welcome." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eight Below (2006) |
"The film milks every opportunity to yank the heartstrings, but despite the calculation in its soul, Eight Below still manages to be a moving story about -- what else? -- the power of love." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 1/4 |
Eight Legged Freaks (2002) |
"Eight Legged Freaks limps along, spinning not a silken web but an extremely derivative, tattered one not likely to snare anybody's interest." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat |
El Arte De Morir (2000) |
"After The Others, The Art of Dying feels like the designer bags you buy at the flea market." |
Marta Barber |
Splat 2/4 |
El Benny (2006) |
"Colorful but pedestrian biopic of the legendary Cuban singer Benny Moré." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elegy (2008) |
"Director Isabel Coixet (My Life Without Me) keeps the focus on Kepesh, played by Kingsley in a performance that brings sympathy and humanity to a selfish, imperious, predatory man." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 1/4 |
Elektra (2005) |
"Garner has no trouble looking sexy, and teen boys should enjoy Elektra's many gratuitous costume changes, but she's hopelessly unconvincing in this icy role." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 4/4 |
Elephant (2003) |
"Elephant makes the Columbine shootings seem both abstract yet more painful and vivid." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato |
Elevator to the Gallows (1957) |
"Elevator to the Gallows is a treat for the film buff. Watching Moreau and Malle as they discover each other and a new trend in filmmaking, and listening to Miles Davis during their quest will remind you of what movies are all about." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Elf (2003) |
"Worth seeing, for one simple reason: Will Ferrell." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Despite its title, Shekhar Kapur's new film resembles tarnished copper." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"It's an awfully self-indulgent picture, but Crowe's indulgences pay off beautifully." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Emerald Cowboy (2003) |
"Though the story is engaging, the writing and acting are as unsophisticated." |
Marta Barber |
Splat 2/4 |
Empathy (2004) |
"Empathy, despite its entertaining and insightful dialogue, can also be a bore." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Emperor's Club (2002) |
"Canin's story is far more effective, but because of its basic premise, The Emperor's Club is more than just another feel-good teacher movie." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Emperor's New Clothes (2002) |
"Viewers are asked so often to suspend belief that were it not for Holm's performance, the film would be a total washout." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato |
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) |
"With made-up myths and willful anachronisms, New Groove finds that crucial balance of kid appeal and wry references aimed at adults." |
Christine Dolen |
Splat 1/4 |
Empire (2002) |
"A witless, unoriginal mishmash of gangsta-drama clichés." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Employee of the Month (2006) |
"We never love Zack or hate Vince enough to care about the outcome, and Amy is one-dimensional enough that a blow-up doll could've taken Simpson's place." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Empty Nest (2009) |
"Empty Nest doesn't offer anything new in the style Ingmar Bergman made so famous, but the film captures your heart thanks to the fine acting of its two main characters and Burman's deft hand." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 3/4 |
Enchanted (2007) |
"The film affectionally spoofs animated-fantasy formulas." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Enduring Love (2004) |
"A fatal lack of character development dooms Enduring Love as little more than a fleeting curiosity." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 2/4 |
Enigma (2002) |
"It merely plods, occasionally bogging down in explanations and never generating much excitement." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 1/4 |
Enough (2002) |
"When it comes to making bad movies, for Lopez, Enough is enough." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005) |
"Deft, entertaining and infuriating documentary about one of the most egregious cases of corporate corruption in American history." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato |
Erin Brockovich (2000) |
"With Erin Brockovich, [Soderbergh] pulls off his most impressive feat yet: giving crowd-pleasing baubles a good name." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 4/4 |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"A thoughtful, audacious meditation on love and relationships that finds a group of wildly disparate talents clicking together in perfect unison." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Evan Almighty (2007) |
"Evan Almighty may not be enough to make you shout 'Hallelujah,' but it's not the cinematic equivalent of a plague, either." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat |
Evelyn (2002) |
"There was a fine family drama to be made here, but what we get instead is too sweet to swallow." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Evening (2007) |
"Manipulative at times, but it resonates with gleaming ferocity as it unspools a story of regret, longing and resolution in two generations of women." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Evergreen (2004) |
"Although Zentelis doesn't always nail the strange rhythms of real life, she does show that she's on the right track." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Every Little Step (2009) |
"A moving, passionate tribute to determination and heart, whatever you might choose to do in your life." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 2/4 |
Everything is Illuminated (2005) |
"Schreiber effectively incorporates some of the novel's humor, most of which revolves around Alex's amusingly improvisational English, but never comes close to mining the book's true substance or heartbreak." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 1/4 |
The Ex (2007) |
"As it is, The Ex doesn't test your funny bone, only your patience." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) |
"The Exorcism of Emily Rose is not the horror film its trailers suggest. It's a courtroom drama -- sort of a People vs. Beelzebub -- and not a particularly arresting one at that." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Extract (2009) |
"Mike Judge's Extract has some huge belly laughs, a terrific ensemble cast and more than a few instances of inspired comic brilliance. So why doesn't the movie ever really take off?" |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat |
Eye of the Beholder (1999) |
"Ugly is in the Eye of the Beholder." |
Curtis Morgan |
Tomato |
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) |
"Censored or not, Eyes Wide Shut remains an absorbing, haunting and ultimately profoundly moral work by a filmmaker working at the peak of his craft." |
