Tomato
A

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982)

"Like Peter Pan, who also took children flying until it was time for them to grow up, E.T. represents the wonder of childhood, of a time that we must all leave behind."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

Earth (2009)

"In a sea of Hollywood formula, artifice and escapism, here is an invitation to wonder, awe and gratitude."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C+

Eight Below (2006)

"A dog faces death, not because of cold or hunger, not because it was abandoned to face the polar winter alone, but because it was distracted and enamored by the southern lights?"

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B-

Elf (2003)

"Delivers a warm, feel-good Christmas ending that will inspire the hope that even New York City can have Christmas spirit -- at least of the Hollywood kind."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
F

Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)

"A lurid sort of Christopher Hitchens vision of history pervades Elizabeth: The Golden Age … How is it possible that this orgy of anti-Catholicism has been all but ignored by critics?"

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

Ella Enchanted (2004)

"Avoids a misstep common among girl-empowerment flicks, which often emasculate the male lead to make the heroine truly heroic… manages to make both leads appealing."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

Emma (1996)

"McGrath pokes gentle fun at the over-refinements of privileged gentility, though not without enjoying its trappings and honoring its best aspirations."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

The Emperor's Club (2002)

"William Hundert (Kevin Kline) isn't charismatic or cool… I like that about him. He isn't selling his own personality, authenticity, or commitment; he isn't selling education as self-actualization (Dead Poets Society)…"

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A-

The Emperor's New Groove (2000)

"The Emperor’s New Groove is really about another new groove — Disney animation's… Not a success at the box office, it deserves to be a family hit on VHS and DVD."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
A+

The Empire Strikes Back (1980)

"The backbone of the Star Wars saga… takes the story and themes of the first film into deeper waters."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C

The End of the Affair (1999)

"Can anyone fail to recognize this as a fundamental betrayal of the author’s creative vision?"

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

Erin Brockovich (2000)

"Erin is far and away her own worst enemy — and a good thing too, because she needed at least one."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C+

Escape to Witch Mountain (1975)

"Pleasant enough, but underwhelming, and curiously lacking in wonder, even in the high-flying finale."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)

"At last Kaufman allows his characters to lift their heads out of the fog of narcissism and solipsism and dare to hope, to engage one another."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C+

Evan Almighty (2007)

"Offers an inoffensive message of conservationism and family togetherness, leavened by bestiary slapstick. Harmless, diverting, very mildly uplifting … [but] bland, generic and unchallenging."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B-

Everyone's Hero (2006)

"Old-fashioned, sweet, but ultimately disposable family fare with echoes of better films from Toy Story to The Iron Giant."

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
B

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

"I am a believer, but I confess I'm left with more doubts than certainties about Emily's case. This, perhaps, is what [the filmmakers] want to do: offer questions, not answers."

Steven D. Greydanus

-

The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005)

"Interview with writer-director Scott Derrickson, co-writer Paul Harris Boardman, and stars Laura Linney and Jennifer Carpenter"

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C+

The Exorcist (1973)

"Arguably the most troubling factor is the lack of true redemption in the twist ending, which resolves the demon possession without allowing good to triumph over evil."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
C+

The Exorcist: The Version You've Never Seen (2000)

Steven D. Greydanus

Tomato
3.5/4

The Express (2008)

"As a sports non-fan, my definition of a good sports film is one that my dad and I both enjoy. The Express has the goods."

Steven D. Greydanus

Splat
D-

Extreme Ops (2002)

"A few energetic stunt sequences briefly enliven the film, but the wheezing terrorist subplot hasn't the stamina for the 100-minute running time, and the protagonists' bohemian boorishness mars the spirit of good clean fun."

Steven D. Greydanus
