Eagle Eye (2008) |
"By the time Jerry and Rachel are riding around on airport conveyer belts while Agent Morgan, in hot pursuit, stumbles over luggage behind them, the film has lost all semblance of sanity and focus." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Earth (2009) |
"Every bit as majestic and eye-opening as the title infers." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"An ultimately satisfying venture with a few spot-on acting turns, but it is a tad too ordinary for a director who thrives when he is anything but." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Eaten Alive (1976) |
"Hooper's sophomore effort, which had a bigger budget but is lesser-known, repeats the same basic formula." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
EdTV (1999) |
"A respectable, intelligent film, but one, to be sure, that prospers more while in the individual moments, rather than one that remains deeply ingrained in your long-term memory." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eight Below (2006) |
"Take away the plane crash, change the setting from South America to Antarctica, and swap humans for canines and Eight Below is a virtual remake of [1993's Alive]." |

Eight Days a Week (1997) |
"Capsule Review" |

Eight Legged Freaks (2002) |
"Not nearly as savvy a send-up of the genre as it thinks it is." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Election (1999) |
"So precise, so hilarious, so biting, so smart, so perfect, in every one of its minute details that it comes as a sort of godsend." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1/4 |
Elektra (2005) |
"Elektra would have been far better off staying dead." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Elephant (2003) |
"One of the most thought-provoking and important films of the last few years." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elf (2003) |
"Filled to bursting with joy, creativity, and good cheer, Elf is one early Christmas gift that does not disappoint." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"A number of enchanting ideas and even a few self-contained luminous moments lurk deep within. Sadly, what surrounds them is half-baked and unsatisfying." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |
"Ella Enchanted is a pleasurable surprise, a superior family film that is destined to entertain both children and adults." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Emperor's Club (2002) |
"By the time [it] finally decides to be a little different from the thirty other movies about inspirational teachers, the damage has already been done." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Empire (2002) |
"Empire has its visual and character attributes, but the culmination of its 90 minutes is akin to reaching out for something substantial, and coming away with nothing but thin air." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Employee of the Month (2006) |
"The film's insipid, lazy humor sticks about as well as a wet, slippery noodle being tossed around for two hours." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Enchanted (2007) |
"Enchanted proves that a motion picture can be light and frothy and yet still be intelligent and emotionally rewarding. As unlikely as it may seem, this is one of the year's best and brightest films." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
End of Days (1999) |
"Isn't a bad movie by any means; it's just a reasonably silly one that, in one form or the other, has been overdone to death." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Enemy of the State (1998) |
"Five times better than Bruckheimer's previous embarrassment, Armageddon. Of course, that isn't to say that it's actually good. It's just saying that it isn't terrible." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Enough (2002) |
"A manipulative feminist empowerment tale thinly posing as a serious drama about spousal abuse." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Entrapment (1999) |
"A fun and completely amiable precursor to the upcoming onslaught of Summer movies." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Envy (2004) |
"Wants to be dark and scathing, but lacks the courage of its convictions." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 0/4 |
Epic Movie (2007) |
"What was the last studio picture this bad? Maybe 2002's The Adventures of Pluto Nash. I've seen more talent in my cat's last dump." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Eragon (2006) |
"Stop me if you've heard this one before..." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Erin Brockovich (2000) |
"Archive Review -- I'd probably rate it much higher now." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"[Jim] Carrey and [Kate] Winslet exude just the right chemistry--a destined connection--to make the love story between them ring with emotion and vitality." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Eurotrip (2004) |
"It's a fast, enjoyable 92 minutes, funnier than the trailers might suggest. Nothing more, and nothing less." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Evan Almighty (2007) |
"By all accounts, Evan Almighty shouldn't work, but it kind of does." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Evening (2007) |
"For a movie that begins on such shaky footing, Evening packs an impassioned wallop by the end." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Evergreen (2004) |
"A solid, affectionately told drama, at times wavering the line of excellent, that only disappoints when it doesn't add up to the fully-realized catharsis it is aiming for." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Everybody's Fine (2009) |
"The film wobbles in limbo between affecting scenes that feel honest and don't push too hard, and others that drip with manipulation and pandering artifice. By the end, the latter unsavory sentiments win out." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Everyone's Hero (2006) |
"Means well, but it's as bland as a stale slice of dry white bread." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Evolution (2001) |
"A low-rent version of Men in Black." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Ex (2007) |
"Plays like a network sitcom with a few four-letter words thrown in that wouldn't make it past the censors." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Exit Wounds (2001) |
"While not what one would exactly call 'action-packed,' there are several scenes that are edited and directed with such energy, it's a shame the rest of the movie is so very bad." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) |
"One part enthralling courtroom drama and one part scary as hell horror tale, The Exorcism of Emily Rose is one of the very best films of the year." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Exorcist: The Beginning (2004) |
"A sincere—and sincerely problematic—film that may have been shot twice, but deserved a third try to get things right." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Express (2008) |
"A Cliffs' Notes version of Ernie Davis' life that turns everything he worked for into a Hallmark card." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Extract (2009) |
"The plot strands wander all over the place with minimal focus, adding up to one overwhelming question: what was the point?" |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 0/4 |
Extreme Ops (2002) |
"If [director] Christian Duguay and [screenwriter] Michael Zaidan can be given millions of dollars by a studio to film something as obnoxiously bad as this, then even a young child of seven or eight has what it takes to work in Hollywood." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Eye (2008) |
"Quite faithful until the dumbed-down Americanized ending, yet time and again the treatment is inferior." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 5/5 |
Eye of God (1996) |

Eye of the Beholder (1999) |
"A sleek, impressively well-made movie, a lyrical flower in a bed of January thorns, if you will. It is simply too admirable a film on too many levels to be thrown to the wayside." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Eyes Wide Shut (1999) |
"Slowly but surely wrapped around me and put me under its rapturous spell." |
