Splat
2/4

Eagle Eye (2008)

"Disturbia team shows it can steal from a variety of sources -- not just Hitchcock -- in this laughably convoluted thriller about Big Brother run amok."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

Eagle Vs. Shark (2007)

"A movie that, in its static presentation and gangly, geek characters, bears such a resemblance to Jared Hess' [Napoleon Dynamite] that -- gosh! -- you'd think that Hess might need to have his attorneys go after a royalty check or two."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Eastern Promises (2007)

"While the film falls short of Cronenberg's best, it still boasts Mortensen's authoritative acting and extraordinary commitment to the material."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Easy (2003)

"The movie has some nice character work and quite a few good laughs to offer."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

Eden (2008)

"Eden is a sad, nicely observed study of a decade-old marriage that, for the most part, is over."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3.5/4

The Edge of Heaven (2008)

"A guy who really understands split cultural personalities, [Akin's] got a good handle on what makes each individual unique and what might really bring us all together."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2.5/4

Edmond (2006)

"While all involved deserve credit for getting even limited financing to film such an off-putting work, they've mainly just proven that some things are better left on the stage."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2/4

The Edukators (2005)

"Light on action and heavy on didactic dialogue."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Eight Below (2006)

"Dog fanciers and lovers of white-out arctic-looking scenery should be plenty pleased."

Evan Henerson

Splat
2/4

Eight Legged Freaks (2002)

"A repetitive exercise in cheesy terror."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato

Election (1999)

"Election is smart and often funny."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Elegy (2008)

"Ben Kingsley and Penelope Cruz continue to do their best to offset the summer's more infantile impulses in this fine adaptation of Philip Roth's novel."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
1.5/4

Elektra (2005)

"An illogical, meandering mess."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
4/4

Elephant (2003)

"It looks both unrelentingly and obliquely at something we all wish never occurred and dispassionately touches on every reason we've dreamed up as to why, while stubbornly refusing to isolate any of them as a clear, blamable cause."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

Elf (2003)

"Ferrell's natural ability to play the earnest, holy fool man-child, coupled with the immense slapstick potential of this 6-foot-plus oaf having been raised to act like one of Santa's teensy elves, makes for a central figure who is always fun."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3.5/4

Elizabethtown (2005)

"It makes you feel truly alive to the possibilities of life. That's an act of magic."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
2.5/4

Ella Enchanted (2004)

"Enchanted, no, but I wouldn't begrudge any young girl from thinking so."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

Ellie Parker (2005)

"As a spoof, it all feels a bit tedious and thrown-together."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

The Emperor's Club (2002)

"A well-meaning movie that proves to be fairly forgettable once you leave the theater."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

The Emperor's New Clothes (2002)

"A little soft-headed and slow at times, but it never lacks charm and imagination, not to mention some wonderful performances."

Glenn Whipp

Splat

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)

"Comes off as a film lacking any distinctive edge."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2/4

Empire (2002)

"If Arenas is making some kind of statement with its initial release, it seems to be declaring, 'We can make a dumb Goodfellas knockoff just as well as any other ethnic group.'"

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Enchanted (2007)

"Disney satirizes its own princess megabusiness -- but still goes for the standard payoffs -- with this funny story of a fairy-tale heroine who finds herself in real-life New York City."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
2.5/4

Encounters At the End of the World (2007)

"If you just have to see another Antarctica documentary, you could do worse than Werner Herzog's Encounters at the End of the World."

Bob Strauss

Splat

End of Days (1999)

"This tedious movie offers little in the way of wit, originality or even competence. It's two hours of purgatory."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

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

"An absorbing, thoroughly entertaining look at the music and feuding of the influential American punk-rock band."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato

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

"The overriding picture that comes into focus is of a man who probably wasn't a very good explorer, but proved to be as superb a leader as the British Empire has ever produced."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3/4

Enduring Love (2004)

"The movie's opening scene is, in and of itself, worth the price of a ticket."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato

Enemy at the Gates (2001)

"Worthy tribute to the sacrifice and suffering that such historically necessary hell required."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2/4

Enigma (2002)

"Deadeningly dull, mired in convoluted melodrama, nonsensical jargon and stiff-upper-lip laboriousness."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
1/4

Enough (2002)

"Offensive in the way it exploits the hot-button issue of domestic abuse for cheap thrills and disgusting in the manner it repeatedly puts a small child in jeopardy, treating her as little more than a prop to be cruelly tormented."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3.5/4

Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room (2005)

"Funny, frightening gut-puncher."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2/4

Envy (2004)

"If movies were people, this one would probably harbor deep resentments against pictures that get effortless laughs."

Bob Strauss

Splat
1.5/4

Equilibrium (2002)

"Naggingly inconsistent and oppressively dumb."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
3.5/4

Eragon (2006)

Tomato

Erin Brockovich (2000)

"An energetic, briskly directed, knockabout effort that tells its story in a different, although hardly unique, way."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

Eros (2005)

"Boiled down to their primary impressions, the Chinese story is tragic, the American one's neurotic and, after some emphatic arguments about love, the Italian one gets down to the business of buxom nude women jumping up and down."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
4/4

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

"An amazingly complex and yet strikingly affecting look at love, life and memory that gives us one of the great movie love stories ever told."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Etoiles: Dancers of the Paris Opera Ballet (2002)

"Delivers roughly equal amounts of beautiful movement and inside information."

Bob Strauss

Splat
1.5/4

Eulogy (2004)

"Talk about grief."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2/4

Eurotrip (2004)

Splat
2.5/4

Evan Almighty (2007)

"The movie's message about changing the world by practicing 'acts of random kindness' would feel a lot more genuine if Evan had cost, say a 10th of its final budget and had those involved plowed the rest of the money into various charitable causes."

Glenn Whipp

Splat
2.5/4

Evelyn (2002)

"One of those based-on-truth stories that persuades you, with every scene, that it could never really have happened this way."

Bob Strauss

Tomato
2.5/4

Even Money (2007)

"Director Mark Rydell is often good at evoking the desperation and superstitious hope that's a big part of the gaming spirit. This is nothing new, either, but it's enough to keep the movie intriguing enough to watch."

Bob Strauss

Splat
1.5/4

Evening (2007)

"Woman on deathbed dredges up regrets, as does everyone around her in a turgid weeper that will engender regret in its paying audience as well."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Everlasting Moments (2009)

"Places its bets on illuminating the imperfect ways in which love, economics and artistry rule lives -- back then and, probably not much differently, now."

Bob Strauss

Splat

An Everlasting Piece (2000)

"The world needs more of these exercises in gritty adorableness like Patrick Stewart needs a hole in his head."

Bob Strauss

Splat
2/4

Everyone's Hero (2006)

"Kids -- little ones -- might be OK with Hero, but mom and dad will need to join the talking bat for a double mochaccino in order to make it through its 85-minute running time."

Glenn Whipp

Tomato
3/4

Everything is Illuminated (2005)

"Amid abundant visual and behavioral kinks, he stays focused on the heart of the story. And that's the true mark of a director who can see the light."

Bob Strauss

Tomato

Evolution (2001)

"One of Evolution's unalloyed pleasures lies in seeing just what this unholy marriage of natural selection and Hollywood fakery will come up with next."

Bob Strauss
