Tomato 3.5/4 |

"Once you see this delightful film, that catchy beat will pound away in your chest for days." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"a wildly uneven satire--not nearly as controversial or as funny as you might have expected." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hancock (2008) |
"The bottom line, of course, is Will Smith who carries the film and salvages things even while the story falls apart all around him. The guy has charisma to burn, and makes Hancock appealing" |
Sean McBride |
Splat 1/4 |
The Happening (2008) |
"The slight premise, coupled with some very bad performances by the cast as well as a screenplay filled with ham-fisted dialogue makes for a film that's not scary and borders on being ridiculous at times." |
Sean McBride |
Splat 1/4 |
Happily N'Ever After (2007) |
"...lives up to the promise of it’s title" |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"Cute animated penguins plus a toe-tapping collection of classic R & B music and dance routines equals a smash hit" |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"It's lost some of the outrageous edge found in the original film, but there is still plenty of irreverent laughs" |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"as far as stoner comedies go, this is a surprisingly well-done affair" |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"it’s still a lot of fun, but you can sense all of the missing material which makes this Harry Potter not quite up to par with the other three installments." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"I miss the youthful sense of magical discovery found in the earlier book, but love how the story has evolved into a complex drama." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"This latest film is a lot darker in tone, and thanks to the new director Alfonso Cuaron, it’s also a great deal scarier." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) |
"the film may indeed be a little dumb at times, it nevertheless proves to be an effective horror-thriller" |
Sean McBride |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"It’s done in bad taste, but unlike their past few films, I must admit that I laughed this time out." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"Cool monsters aside, it's really the humor and the characters make Hellboy 2 into something more than just another summer special effects flick." |
Sean McBride |
Splat 2/4 |
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) |
"For a movie about a car that comes to life, this movie is surprisingly lifeless." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 4/4 |
Hero (2004) |
"that rarest of cinematic feats: a genre martial arts flick that also happens to be one of the most striking visual films I’ve ever seen" |
Sean McBride |
Splat 2/4 |
Hide and Seek (2005) |
"DeNiro's been in enough good films to recognize that this film is a steaming pile of garbage that no amount of great acting would ever be able to rescue." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008) |
"works perfectly for easily entertained kids; parents will have to be satisfied with simplistic-but-squeaky clean entertainment for the family." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
A History of Violence (2005) |
"a pretty good little thriller, but clocking in at only 95 minutes, it doesn’t have enough meat to be a truly satisfying drama." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hitch (2005) |
"Will Smith and Kevin James keep the whole thing going thanks to the chemistry of their oddball pairing" |
Sean McBride |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Hitcher (2007) |
"I don’t get the rational behind remaking a mediocre piece of cinematic fluff that never really captured the public’s attentions in the first place." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) |
"a lot of fun for fans and non-fans alike." |
Sean McBride |
Splat 2/4 |
Hollywoodland (2006) |
"It’s certainly a juicy, real-life mystery; one that’s explored with surprising non-commitment" |
Sean McBride |
Splat 1/4 |
Hoodwinked (2006) |
"It’s a sad case of Red opening up her goodie basket and finding that there’s nothing there." |
Sean McBride |
Splat 1/4 |
Hoot (2006) |
" I can’t image any kid getting excited by this eco-friendly kiddie-empowerment flick" |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hot Fuzz (2007) |
"Fans of both British humor and American action flicks will be well pleased by this charming comedy." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hotel Rwanda (2004) |
"Solid acting, a shocking-because-it’s-true screenplay and wisely simple direction make “Hotel Rwanda” into a movie that you won’t soon forget.
" |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The House Bunny (2008) |
"It's a bit derivative, but issues of originality aside, I've got to admit that I found this late-summer comedy to be quite charming, and frequently very funny." |
Sean McBride |
Tomato 4/4 |
House of Flying Daggers (2004) |
"The house of Flying Daggers” is to a kung fu flick what grand opera is to karaoki." |
Sean McBride |
Splat 1/4 |
House of Wax (2005) |
"The film does everything that teen horror flicks are supposed to do, but Hilton undermines it all by not even trying to act." |
Sean McBride |
Splat 2/4 |
How to Eat Fried Worms (2006) |
"a serviceable drama for the pre-teen set, but it doesn’t have the acting or the cinematic polish to set it apart as something special." |
