Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

"It's good enough that I might just start taking an interest in the books after all."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

"Newell continues to improve on a world that's enthralling to explore ... in spite of the pouting, cheating little dullard at the center of it all."

Jeffrey Overstreet

C

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

"Hogwarts instructors behave suspiciously (as usual). The youngsters spy on secret meetings (as usual), then break the rules for the greater good (as usual). It all comes down to a showdown between wizards (as usual)."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

"Entertaining, but it drains any kind of suspense from Harry’s adventures by giving the magicians every variety of spell that they need just when they need it. "

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B-

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

"Unfortunately, many fine performances are nearly wasted by Columbus's predictable direction and an overbearing, relentless soundtrack."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

Hearts in Atlantis (2001)

"If good cinematographers are 'panning for gold' with their camera lens, Sobocinski has put his pan in the river and come back with a fortune."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

Heist (2001)

"This is a world not unlike superhero comics, only in this world the heroes have the superhuman ability to knock down buildings with a split-second comeback line."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A

Hell House (2002)

"I encourage everyone to watch it and discuss the difference between Christ's ministry and the 'ministry' of these high-pressure gospel salesmen."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
C

Hidalgo (2004)

"[It's] so careful about being inoffensive that it never has the guts to suggest much of anything except 'Be Nice to Others and Especially to Horses.' "

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B

High Fidelity (2000)

"Instead of 'happily ever after,' we're left with a new beginning, a possibility of renewal."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
4/5

Hitch (2005)

J. Robert Parks

Tomato
C+

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

"Galaxy Quest succeeded by its story as much as by its stars and effects. Hitchhiker’s feels more like a string of skits linked by awkward transitions. "

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A-

Holes (2003)

"Young viewers and old alike will be given powerful metaphors of servanthood and selflessness, humility and honor, courage and Christ-like kindness."

Tomato
A-

The Hours (2002)

"It works like the best poetry, giving us room to explore ideas and issues instead of narrowing itself to simple moral lessons."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B+

House of Sand and Fog (2003)

"Perelman ... has a distinct and shadowy style that gives each scene an edge of menace, but he does not exploit style or draw attention to it."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Splat
C

How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)

"Unfortunately, Ron Howard is the Grinch who stole Christmas from Jim Carrey."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A-

Howl's Moving Castle (2005)

"Miyazaki's work is so refreshingly engaging, even his recycled ideas seem as if they spring brand new from his kaleidoscopic imagination."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A

The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)

"[The Coens'] inventive style and the over-the-top performances from Robbins and Newman make this a feast for the eyes and a barrel of laughs."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
B-

Hulk (2003)

"Audiences expecting to turn off their brains and sit back for another blast of mere eye candy may stagger out of this 138-minute epic wondering what hit them."

Jeffrey Overstreet

Tomato
A-

The Human Stain (2003)

"The film's frame groans in its attempt to contain such a complex story, and its actors ask us to accept implausible things... but it's ultimately rewarding."

Jeffrey Overstreet
