Eagle Shooting Heroes (1993) |
"Has a lot of great looking action, but it moves awfully fast and the comedy and acting is very, very broad" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Early Summer (1951) |
"Ozu's films fill me with such a profound sense of serenity and emotional richness that it makes me wonder why people rent or buy anyone else's movies." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Earrings of Madame De... (1953) |
"It's powerful stuff, but Ophuls' graceful, gliding camera movements provide a sense of beautiful inevitability." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Earth (1930) |
"It's a simple propaganda piece that overcomes its flaws through graceful cinematography and editing." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
East Is East (1999) |

Tomato 4/4 |
Eastern Promises (2007) |
"What makes it great is that it's a David Cronenberg movie; he tells a compelling story, filled with his own particular obsessions. It's personal, unpretentious and unassuming." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Easy Virtue (2009) |
"Elliott keeps the mood spirited and breezy, and of course, there are lots of great lines, but those little modern touches suggest a lack of trust in the material." |

Ecstasy (1933) |
"It's a little dull today but it's still interesting from a historical perspective." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Ed Wood (1994) |
"Ed Wood would make a great double feature with Citizen Kane, the sad, fascinating lives of two men vying for greatness and almost achieving it." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Eddie Murphy - Delirious (1983) |
"It still had me in stitches today." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Edgar G. Ulmer: The Man Off-Screen (2004) |
"The documentary employs many of Ulmer's trademark techniques, such as rear-projection, and tries to open up the usual talking-head format by taking the camera outside, in and around Hollywood." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Edge of Heaven (2008) |
"Plays out like a complex novel clearly adapted to the screen, and yet it's an original screenplay." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Edge of Love (2009) |
"No one seems to know what the movie is about; is it about the friendship, Thomas's life and women, or the war?" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Edmond (2006) |
"Gordon can't quite get a handle on this odd material, and fails to moderate Macy's performance." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 4/4 |
Edward Scissorhands (1990) |
"[Burton and Depp] seem to bring out the best in each other." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Eiger Sanction (1975) |
"Clint Eastwood's mountain-climbing spy thriller is surprisingly effective, even by today's standards." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Eight Men Out (1988) |
"Sayles gives the film an intelligent, well-researched, nostalgic tone with plenty of quiet moments to round out the excitement." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
El Bruto (1952) |
"[A] rambunctious, entertaining film." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
El Cid (1961) |
"Not many filmmakers could make the transition to epic filmmaking with all their signature touches intact; Anthony Mann more or less succeeds." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
El Dorado (1967) |
"El Dorado is an effortless movie, and it draws you in easily." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
El Topo (1970) |
"For the adventurous viewer, El Topo is a bizarre, colorful, unforgettable experience." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Election (1999) |
"Kudos to Payne and Taylor for their courage, balance, and humor." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
Election (2005) |
"The film's main drive involves plotting and scheming rather than outright violence, though -- unlike the sequel -- the basic good guy-bad guy conflict is pretty standard." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Elegy (2008) |
"Kingsley and Cruz both turn in grand-slam performances, especially Cruz with her ability to appear as if she's actually thinking and responding organically to each situation." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Elektra (2005) |
"We find that the movie has more plot holes than actual plot." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
The Element of Crime (1985) |
"That old predicament of too much style, not enough substance." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Elephant Man (1980) |
"This black-and-white film already includes several Lyncian benchmarks: hissing noises, nightmare sequences, and moments of deadly quiet." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Elevator to the Gallows (1957) |
"Like a black-and-white Hitchcockian tour of hell." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1/4 |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Every so often Kapur shoots from behind a huge stone column or pillar; most of these pillars exhibit more personality than the movie." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"It conjures up several good ideas and a few good scenes, but nothing ties them together except an equal number of bad scenes and misshapen ideas." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |
"I wouldn't even mind watching it more than once, which is the true test.
" |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elling (2002) |
"The movie ultimately relies a bit too heavily on grandstanding, emotional, Rocky-like moments ... but it's such a warm and charming package that you'll feel too happy to argue much." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Elsa & Fred (2008) |
"Elsa is obsessed with the "Fontana di Trevi" sequence from La Dolce Vita, but that's only a reminder that the aging Fellini once accomplished far more effective films about old age and second chances." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Emperor and the Assassin (1999) |
"Chen mixes in rich details and politics to make it all come alive and seem relevant." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato |
The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On |
"Here's a nasty little piece of work that's both shocking and heroic in its audacity." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Emperor's New Clothes (2002) |
"It's too self-important and plodding to be funny, and too clipped and abbreviated to be an epic." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) |
"It looks like director Mark Dindal has been watching a lot of Chuck Jones lately." |

Tomato 4/4 |
The Empire Strikes Back (1980) |
"The second act is very strong, cutting back and forth between Luke training with Yoda and Han, Leia, Chewie and C-3P0 fighting the Empire. And it's paced leisurely enough that you get to know the characters a little bit." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Enchanted (2007) |
"A hugely entertaining, clever comic fairy tale. Most of the credit goes to Oscar nominee Amy Adams." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Encounters At the End of the World (2007) |
"The best thing about Herzog's films is that he follows his instincts and lets his curiosity lead him to the next sequence." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat |
End of Days (1999) |
"Starts by stealing bad ideas from other movies, then it putsthem together in the wrong order and casts the wrong actors to play the parts. In other words, it's one of the worst movies I've seen this year." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The End of the Affair (1999) |
"Writer/director Neil Jordan takes the right approach to the material. Instead of trying to spruce it up, he simply moves in closer." |

Endurance (1999) |
"Interesting on many levels, but doesn't quite show the passion of the human body like Leni Riefenstahl's Olympia or the thrill of the race like the recent Children of Heaven." |
Jeffrey M. Anderson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Enduring Love (2004) |
"After this promising start, the movie itself suddenly downturns and plummets to its own death." |
