"Real classics improve with age as does E.T." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Earth (1999) |
"When bad things happen, they seem distant and unreal so that the events pack little emotional wallop." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2.5/4 |
East Is East (1999) |
"Director O'Donnell continually pulls his punches. The result is a movie that's kind of cute and kind of poignant, which all adds up to being only kind of nice." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2.5/4 |
East-West (1999) |
"Too often murky and with too many characters, the film works best when the director focuses attention firmly on the leads and their actions." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"A mild comedy of manners set in the Roaring Twenties ... You might think any comedy filled with flappers would be funny, but this one isn't. It deserves no laughs and few smiles." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) |
"The colors and textures are totally indescribable. Keep watching the show; resist the urge to leave and go to the closest Chinese restaurant!" |

Eden Court (2008) |

The Education of Little Tree (1997) |
"The rarest of kids' movies, the serious drama, where it is people and not some cute animals that are in grave danger." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
The Eel (1997) |
"Although it starts off like a sports car barreling down the highway in high gear, the director shifts into neutral right after the opening credits end and coasts until almost all momentum is lost." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Eight Below (2006) |

Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Election (1999) |
"If there were an Academy Award for body language, Witherspoon would win it hands down for this performance." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Elektra (2005) |
"Plays like a third-rate knock off of House of Flying Daggers by someone who has heard about House of Flying Daggers but has never actually seen it." |

Steve Rhodes |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Ellie Parker (2005) |
"Even if Watts makes it almost watchable, the ugly cinematography is too much of an eye strain to endure for such a thin and uninteresting story.
" |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Elling (2002) |
"Tthe tone of this tedious movie never works, being neither funny nor moving. I never laughed, and, although I know I was supposed to, I never cared about Elling and his supposed afflictions." |

Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 8/10 |

Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Empire (2002) |
"Feels like it was made by some old Bolsheviks, who, in a vodka stupor, thought they were remaking THE GODFATHER." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) |
"The script again is imaginative and full of laughs. Poor Chewy remains the brunt of the many of the jokes." |
