Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)

"Long story short: Although I didn't care for Eagle vs. Shark, I'd be eager to see whatever [director] Cohen makes next."

Earth Days (2009)

"If the aim of Earth Days is to make viewers refall in love with the beauty of this tiny planet, then it succeeds."

Easy Virtue (2009)

"Easy Virtue would like us to sympathize with the fresh-faced American, but the bitter, insult-spewing Brits are so much more entertaining that I was rooting for them."

Eating Out (2005)

"The way these characters are written tells us nothing about them and everything about the guy who wrote and directed this movie, whose name is Q. Allen Brocka and who may be the only person who will actually find it amusing."

The Edge of Heaven (2008)

"The year's most moving film."

The Edukators (2005)

"The Edukators takes an eternity to get past the setup and on to the main conflict."

Eight Legged Freaks (2002)

"The laugh-laugh-scare- laugh-laugh-scare formula is so predictable there's something comforting about it, maybe because it connects us to a favorite old movie genre we haven't seen in a while and that we're glad to have back."

Elektra (2005)

"Feels like we're peeking in on a twisted superhero's draggy therapy sessions."

Elevator to the Gallows (1957)

"Made almost 50 years ago, the black-and-white French classic still grabs you by the throat."

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

"The only thing connecting one Golden Age scene to the next is a choir of sopranos so insistent and shrill that you'll wish Elizabeth would behead them instead."

Ella Enchanted (2004)

"A fractured fairy tale as bright and bouncy as an ABBA song."

The Embalmer (2003)

"Once Peppino is identified as a sexual predator, the movie loses whatever compassion it had for him, seeming to imply that his obsession and his sexual identity are the same thing."

The Emperor's Club (2002)

"Movies with 25 guys wearing the same tie leave me cold."

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)

"What it does is make us laugh. Often."

Employee of the Month (2006)

"Employee borrows Office Space's crushing-boredom-of-the-workplace vibe, but it's sunnier because these guys realize they don't hate their jobs as much as they thought."

End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (2004)

"About halfway through End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones, journalist Legs McNeil asks why the Ramones didn't have big hits. The achievement of the film is that it makes you wonder the same thing and provides an answer."

The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition (2001)

"Better than the book it's based on."

Enemy at the Gates (2001)

"In the end, we're left with the impression that millions died and countries were decimated, all so these two crazy kids could get it on."

Enlighten Up! (2009)

"There's a lot of talk about the downward-facing dog in Enlighten Up, a yoga documentary I'm giving the downward-facing thumb."

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005)

"Enron quickly settles down, cogently laying out how Ken Lay and other hot-dogging big shots sank the seventh-largest corporation in America."

Equilibrium (2002)

"The self-serious Equilibrium makes its point too well; a movie, like life, isn't much fun without the highs and lows."

Eros (2005)

"'The Hand' is worth the price of admission to Eros, but you may want to stick around for Steven Soderbergh's 'Equilibrium.'"

Eurotrip (2004)

"The movie doesn't push its outrageousness hard enough to give us that I-can't- believe-I'm- laughing-at- that feeling."

Evelyn (2002)

"The sentiment is balanced with cheeky Irish humor, Pierce Brosnan is fine as Desmond, and there's a sobering sense of history."

Evergreen (2004)

"Too bad Zentelis didn't find someone else to write the script, because Evergreen combines all the cliched elements of a season's worth of a WB teen drama."
