Hairspray (2007) |
"...there reaches a point at which such sequences start to take on repetitive and superfluous qualities..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |

David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers (1988) |
"...[Donald Pleasance's Dr. Loomis] doesn't once refer to Myers as "pure evil," though he does call him "evil on two legs" which is almost as good..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989) |
"[The film's been infused] with a run-of-the-mill slasher vibe, complete with oversexed teenagers and moronic authority figures." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Halloween II (1981) |
"...worth watching if only for the sequence in which Michael Myers actually walks through a plate-glass door." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"Halloween: Resurrection is surprisingly effective, especially the opening sequence featuring the showdown between Laurie and Michael." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hamlet (2000) |
"Consider it a primer for Kenneth Branagh's four and a half hour Hamlet opus." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"Buoyed by Steve Coogan's unapologetically go-for-broke performance..." |
David Nusair |

"...an engaging and thoroughly innovative spin on the superhero genre..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |

"Skip [Hangman], unless you've really got a
Dan Lauria (he was the dad in The Wonder Years) fixation." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hangman's Knot (1952) |
"...essentially remains entertaining throughout." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
The Hangover (2009) |

Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008) |
"...possesses few elements designed to appeal to viewers over a certain age..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Some of the most exciting parts of the film are when Lector's about to kill someone. Morbid, sure. Exciting, definitely!" |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"...the film improves substantially once Hannibal embarks on his mission of revenge - with the whole thing morphing into a brutal actioner along the lines of Death Wish and Man on Fire..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |

"Undoubtedly M. Night Shyamalan's weakest thriller to date..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Happy Endings (2005) |
"...although it's generally entertaining throughout, Happy Endings just doesn't have the emotional impact that Roos is clearly striving for." |
David Nusair |

Happy Face Murders (1999) |
"...Helgenberger provides enough charm to make it worth a look." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Happy Times (2002) |
"...director Zhang Yimou imbues the story with enough heart and humor to prevent it from resembling something out of a '70s horror flick." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) |
"...a slightly uneven yet thoroughly engaging slice-of-life effort from writer/director Mike Leigh." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |

"...there's simply no denying that the film feels like a return to form for the Muscles from Brussels." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hard Eight (1997) |
"...a low-key yet sporadically fascinating drama..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hard Luck (2006) |
"...a ridiculously overblown and borderline incoherent mess that possesses virtually no positive attributes." |
David Nusair |

"...a slight, instantly forgettable romantic comedy that doesn't possess any real depth..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |

"...while it's no Speed, Hard Rain is a suitably diverting way to spend an hour and a half." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hardball (2001) |
"...Hardball is much darker and far more adult than the commercials and trailer want you to believe." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"...has been infused with an uncomfortably over-the-top sensibility that handily obliterates the easy-going feel of its predecessor..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"...fares a whole lot better than the majority of its stoner-comedy brethren..." |
David Nusair |

"...a well-made, visually distinctive period piece that's nevertheless a complete bore almost from start to finish." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |

"Head Over Heels isn't exactly terrible - it's just completely uninspired." |
David Nusair |

"...one of the more interesting and visually striking movies to come around in a while." |
David Nusair |
