Happy Feet (2006) |
"When's the last time a movie that championed the environment made you want to get up and dance?" |

Hard Candy (2005) |
"Instead of telling a story, Hard Candy cooks up one grueling ordeal after another." |

Hard Goodbyes: My Father (2003) |
"Alternately whimsical and harsh, Hard Goodbyes probably deserves to be seen as a promising first feature, although it lacks the grace and novelty of a similar movie, My Life As a Dog." |

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"What's engaging about all this is that Penn and Cho are smart actors doing very dumb humor. Somehow the combination proves amusing." |

Harrison's Flowers (2002) |
"The movie too often works against itself, pitting an increasingly implausible story with Chouraqui's hard-core realism." |

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"The Chamber of Secrets may not be a classic, but it's more eventful than its predecessor." |
Robert Denerstein |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"This edition advances the Potter saga through the presentation of a variety of set pieces, some quite spectacular. And if the movie sometimes loses momentum, it contains enough grand sights and magical mayhem to stir even skeptical imaginations." |
Robert Denerstein |

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"Prisoner may not be perfect, but when it's good, it's very good indeed." |

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"It offers more delights than disappointments -- and that qualifies as one of the year's great reliefs." |

Harsh Times (2006) |
"...For all its hyped-up acting moments, Harsh Times fails to get under our skin." |

Tomato B |
Hart's War (2002) |
"Proves a servicable World War II drama that can't totally hide its contrivances, but it at least calls attention to a problem Hollywood too long has ignored." |
Robert Denerstein |

The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"Neither a laugh riot nor a first-rate chiller." |

Havana Nights (2004) |
"Tries to add Cuban flavor to a familiar plot but comes up with nothing more than a bubbling stew of cliches." |

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |
"Colombani knows how to stir strands of dark humor into a movie whose tone dances nimbly between the merry and the macabre." |
Robert Denerstein |

Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"This wartime epic is so full of silly scenes and clichéd dialogue that its attempts to look classy could be likened to seeking a place for a whoopie cushion in the heart of the Louvre." |

Head of State (2003) |
"It's difficult not to be dismayed by the script's predictable jokes and cliched thinking." |

Head-On (2005) |
"The movie starts with a mild contrivance and then allows life to tear through its seams, sabotaging its characters and us." |

The Heart of the Game (2006) |
"Sketchy as it can be at times, The Heart of the Game keeps us involved." |

Heaven (2002) |

Hellboy (2004) |
"Hellboy boasts a fine performance from Perlman, who manages to create a real character despite wearing a ton of red makeup and what appears to be a leather Hellboy suit." |

Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) |

Hidalgo (2004) |

High Crimes (2002) |

High Tension (2005) |

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) |
"This vivid but brutal remake of Wes Craven's 1977 cult favorite The Hills Have Eyes made me a little sick with its gore and extreme violence." |

A History of Violence (2005) |

Hitch (2005) |
"In my view, Smith would do well to tweak his career a bit. How nice if he'd find a small, serious movie that tests his acting chops. Can the action heroes. Scrap the charm." |

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) |

The Holiday (2006) |

Hollywood Homicide (2003) |
"You keep wanting Homicide to be funkier. Either that or make a more serious commitment to formula. Instead, it tries to play both ends from the middle with Shelton struggling to satisfy genre demands while simultaneously poking fun at them." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat B- |
Hollywoodland (2006) |
"Coulter's mostly languid pacing doesn't create the right kind of film-noir urgency, and Hollywoodland winds up feeling like an imitation of a great movie rather than the real thing, a cut-rate Chinatown." |

A Home at the End of the World (2004) |

Honeymooners (2005) |
"[Has] a script that never answers a key question: Why does this movie exist?" |

The Host (2007) |
"At heart, it's a monster movie, but it's one creature feature that refuses to settle into a mold, and that's precisely why it deserves a look." |

Hostage (2005) |
"I'd call it ugly and I'd be willing to bet that you won't see anyone climbing on a moral high horse in an attempt to shout it down. Someone should." |
