Eagle Eye (2008) |

Eagle Vs. Shark (2007) |
"Eagle vs Shark is self-consciously odd and only wants to hold up its protagonists as objects of derision." |

Echoes of Innocence (2005) |

Elegy (2008) |
"The high-minded philosophical discussions feel like posturing, like the movie is trying a little too hard to earn that "prestige" title." |

Elektra (2005) |

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Simply takes a chunk out of Elizabeth's life and says, 'Here's what happened during these years,' without bothering to shape it into a story." |

Elizabethtown (2005) |
"It's not just the main character who doesn't have a plan -- it's Crowe, too." |

Employee of the Month (2005) |
"It is bad enough that it's a bad comedy for most of its running time. It adds insult to injury when, in its last act, is also becomes a bad heist movie." |

Eragon (2006) |

Evening (2007) |
"It's the kind of female-centric syrup that isn't conceived creatively so much as it's calculated mathematically. But for a certain audience, it might be good enough." |
