Hamlet 2 (2008)

"Coogan's performance as the lost soul is as brilliant as it is ebulliently wacky"

The Happening (2008)

"a cold pastiche, neither bloody enough to attract the crowd that hankers for that sort of thing, nor smart enough to attract the crowd that hankers for that"

Happy Feet (2006)

"you will not only believe that a penguin can dance, but that he can also save the world"

The Hard Word (2003)

"The dialogue has the aching banality of would-be wit. . ."

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

" effortlessly sweeps the audience into that enchanted world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where good and evil are more than just abstract concepts in a dusty old philosophy book"

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

"suitably imaginative visuals and a knack for hitting the high points of the plot without missing a beat. . . a fabulously wild ride"

The Haunted Mansion (2003)

"Best of all is Parker, the perfect melancholy romantic hero, brooding and dark, yet touching and sentimental."

Hav Plenty (1997)

"Cherot's considerable charm as writer and star compensate for some rough patches."

He's Just Not That Into You (2009)

"cynicism tempered nicely with a warmly perceptive story about the perils and pleasures of the mating dance,a dance where everyone is flying blind and working without a net."

Hell House (2002)

"By focusing on the basic decency of these people [Ratliffe] exquisitely captures the irony of a community at odds with its god’s message of unconditional love."

"Andrea Chase"

Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)

"A film of richly complex themes overlaid with a frothy plot, each serving to disarm the audience while holding it rapt."

Hidalgo (2004)

"I don’t know how they did it, and I suspect CGI might play a part, but, darn, that equine can act"

High Tension (2005)

"If only there were some imagination at work here rather than the slash-and-bleed approach splashed across the screen in varying shades of vermillion"

Hitch (2005)

"a pleasant enough meringue of a romantic comedy. Light, sweet, and essentially insubstantial"

The Hoax (2007)

"A thoroughly enjoyable ride."

Holes (2003)

". . .that best of all pictures made with kids in mind, the kind that they can grow up with, seeing more depths of meaning the older they get. . ."

The Holiday (2006)

"every time the film threatens to build up a head of genuine charm, it bogs down in treacley melodrama and/or maudlin sentiment"

Hollywoodland (2006)

"Stylish and stark, it is a cautionary tale told with a wealth of compassion for its players who reduce themselves to little more than commodities for one another, but with vitriol for what brought them to that state."

The Host (2007)

"Effects wizards Webster Colcord and Corey Rosen talk to Andrea Chase about gender, jiggling, and reverse engineering. (streaming audio 13:49)"

Hot Fuzz (2007)

"David Lynch with a funny bone. Roman Polanksi with whimsy. Jerry Bruckheimer with a sense of irony."

Hotel Rwanda (2004)

"maintains a low key feel throughout, and it is that approach, removing the palliative shield of melodrama, that produces the chill in the gut"

The House Bunny (2008)

"a mixed message designed to sell what it purports to subvert, also known as having it both ways"

House of Sand and Fog (2003)

"Shoreh Aghdashloo interviewed by Andrea Chase"
