Splat
2/5

H.G. Wells' The Food of the Gods (1976)

"Not content with having made a mess of this earlier, Gordon tries again."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Hail the Conquering Hero (1944)

"Not one of Sturges' best, but good enough."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Hair (1979)

"Brilliant rethinking of the stage play."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Hairspray (1988)

"One of the great films of the '80s and as close to perfect as Waters has gotten"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Hairspray (2007)

"More sheer good-hearted fun than anything that's come out this summer."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Hallelujah, I'm a Bum (1933)

"Yeah, it's all too conscious, but it's brilliantly so."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Halloween (1978)

"Effective little thriller, but about as far from a great classic as you can get."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Halloween (2007)

"Halloween manages to combine the weaknesses of both of Zombie's previous movies, while rarely tapping into the strengths of either."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Halloween 3: Season of the Witch (1982)

"Very peculiar variant on Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Connected to the Halloween series in name only."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers (1996)

"Muddled sequel redeemed in part by Pleasence."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Halloween II (1981)

"Might have been better than the first one if it hadn't been tampered with after Rosenthal shot it"

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

Halloween II (2009)

"I'm still convinced that Rob Zombie has a very good -- maybe even great -- film in him, but this isn't it."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Halloween: Resurrection (2002)

"I have to admit that I had a good time with this brain-dead slasher flick %u2013 not in spite of its myriad stupidities, but because of them."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Hancock (2008)

"The phony mythos turns into equally spurious pathos that plays like bathos because not one iota of the sentiment or sympathy has been earned."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Hand (1981)

"Stupid horror film that's even more pointless in its anger than Stone's 'serious' work."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992)

"So bad it's almost good."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

A Handful of Dust (1988)

"Handsome, but airless and uninvolving version of the Waugh novel"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)

"Achieves the kind of perfect balance that comes along maybe once in a filmmaker's career."

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008)

"With the disinterest of one not being badgered into coughing up $18 a ticket, what I saw felt a lot like the Barbie's Playhouse version of Madonna's Truth or Dare."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Hannah Montana The Movie (2009)

"'Real life' as envisioned by folks whose idea of such was obviously cobbled together from the more backward examples of 1950s sitcoms."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

Hannibal Rising (2007)

"It can't sell the idea that Gaspard Ulliel's Hannibal is ever going to mature into Hopkins' complex monster, and without that, it's just a slick exercise in futility."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Hans Christian Andersen (1952)

"As with all Danny Kaye movies my response is to wish for a tranqulizer gun"

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

The Happening (2008)

"What you end up with is a cross between Roland Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow and Shyamalan's Signs."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Happiest Millionaire (1967)

"Overlong, too gooey, but engaging."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Happy Feet (2006)

"The visuals, the soundtrack, the chutzpah of the film's message are all admirable and often well-achieved, but it's undermined by a central sloppiness."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Happy Gilmore (1996)

"Standard Adam Sandler vehicle."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008)

"What it's ultimately about isn't Poppy's unflagging cheerfulness, but about how she uses her cheerfulness to cling on to an increasingly precious commodity: hope."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

A Hard Day's Night (1964)

"See it for no other reason than it's all too rare you can spend 87 minutes smiling and feeling positive about life."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Hardcore (1979)

"Distasteful and dull"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Harlem Nights (1989)

"Not as bad as you might think, but not all that good either."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

"Plays like desperate repackagings of the first movie's more successful set pieces -- with the accent on desperate and the freshness level down to zero."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3.5/5

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)

"It isn't just another dumb druggie flick that suggests the world begins and ends with getting high. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Harold and Maude (1971)

"By turns funny, moving and outrageous – sometimes all at once – the film is Hal Ashby's masterpiece."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

Harry and the Hendersons (1987)

"Passable family pap."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

"What keeps Chamber from quite ringing the gong? Probably nothing if you're a diehard fan of the books; but if you're not, you might find the 161-minute running time just a little much."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

"Has the curious distinction of being perhaps the best of the Harry Potter series, while not being quite the best film in its own right. "

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

"I admired and enjoyed Prince more than any of the other series entries except for Alfonso Cuarón's deliriously clever Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4.5/5

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

"Not only the darkest, most sinister (it comes very near to qualifying as a horror picture) and most mature of the films, it's the most tightly structured."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

"A Harry Potter picture that flirts with -- and possibly even achieves -- greatness."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Harvey (1950)

"A little gooey, but it mostly works"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
3/5

The Harvey Girls (1946)

"One classic song does not a good musical make"

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Hatari! (1962)

"Too long, but highly entertaining personality film"

Ken Hanke

Splat
2/5

Haunted (1995)

"Tedious haunted house movie."

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

Haunted Honeymoon (1986)

"Whoa, this is bad. Even cribbed dialogue from The Old Dark House can't save it."

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

The Haunted Mansion (2003)

"It's ironic that in 2003 we find Murphy playing a role that, for all intents and purposes, might have been done by Mantan Moreland 60 years ago -- only Mantan was funnier."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

The Haunting (1963)

"One of film's great ghost stories. Great Humphrey Searle score."

Ken Hanke

Splat
.5/5

The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008)

"What transpires is everybody's guess, and all of it leads to what may take the blue ribbon for the least exciting climax ever to festoon a horror picture."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Having a Wild Weekend (1965)

"A fascinating outburst of strangeness of almost Fellini-esque proportions."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Haxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages (1920)

"Fascinating pioneering horror"

Ken Hanke

Splat
1/5

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

"Cliche ridden, predictable, filled with characters so inane that you marvel they made it to adulthood -- and dull, dull, dull."

Ken Hanke
