Tomato 3/4 |
Hancock (2008) |
"Hancock is a rarity. It's an action yarn that feels like a drama and, alternately, a drama that takes our breath away with bursts of eye-popping action." |
Larry Ratliff |
Splat 1/4 |
The Happening (2008) |
"A monster movie desperately seeking a monster, M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening doesn't make sense, much less The Sixth Sense." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Endings (2005) |
"Lisa Kudrow's sporting serious brown hair. Tom Arnold's wearing a rare dramatic frown. So we know Happy Endings isn't likely to be a frivolous comedy." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"If you're tough enough to go with the filthy flow, Escape from Guantanamo Bay is, at times, bust-a-gut funny." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"(This) isn't your typical lowbrow comedy about dopes smoking dope. Deep down, under the buns and fun, lurks a heapin' helping of heart." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"While a must-see for rabid fans, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire will impress nondevotees only with its seamless special effects and captivating action sequences." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"Radcliffe appears game enough to continue in the iconic role he has grown up with. So do Watson and Grint, although the exuberant let's-put-on-a-show sparkle of youth has, sadly, drained from all three." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"Cuarón ... uses his enchanting vision to send Rowling's third installment down its dark, wondrous, often captivating road in grand style and with a generally steady pace." |
Larry Ratliff |
Splat 2/4 |
The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) |
"The Haunting of Molly Hartley, sort of an updated Rosemary's Baby for teens, sucks most of the suspense out of its own suspense-thriller before the story even gets going." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"This is never a great film. In scattered stretches, though, it's a very good one." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Head-On (2005) |
"Head-On is not pretty to watch most of the time. But it's pretty hard to forget even a dozen hours after the final credits have rolled." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"Go to the movies long enough and you'll eventually find yourself rooting for a blood red, horned monster-man from hell." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) |
"(Director Angela) Robinson keeps the automotive antics to an acceptable level most of the way, although pushing things a notch too far in the finale.
" |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 4/4 |
Hero (2004) |
"Martial artistic. That's the new term demanding to be coined for director Zhang Yimou's astonishing period drama." |
Larry Ratliff |
Splat 2/4 |
Hide and Seek (2005) |
"Do good actors make a lousy movie any better? A little. But they're wasting their time and ours. That creeps me out.
" |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008) |
"They sing. They dance. And they smooch a little. But not too much. After all, this is a G-rated Disney extravaganza." |
Larry Ratliff |
Splat 2/4 |
High Tension (2005) |
"Just how bloody far are we supposed to suspend our disbelief for a slice-and-dice horror flick?" |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 4/4 |
A History of Violence (2005) |
"Some movies are to be consumed and discarded. History of Violence, a drama of disarming power, is not one of those. This is one of the most stirring films of the year." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hitch (2005) |
"The date doctor operates like an overly eager comic intern. That's the only real glitch in Hitch.
" |
Larry Ratliff |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) |
"A must-see for Hitchhiker's Guide devotees, an offbeat warm-up for those who devour everything intergalactic and a bit of a puzzlement for general movie fans.
" |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Holy Girl (2005) |
"The volatile plot churns with a style that toys with the rawest edge of R-rated tolerance much like American Beauty did in 1999." |
Larry Ratliff |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Hoodwinked (2006) |
"More often than not, the look reflects a speeded-up trip though the hard drive to keep costs from skyrocketing. In other words, don't expect much detail." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Host (2007) |
"Slightly subversive but entertaining, The Host is a South Korean creature-feature import that'll get the Godzilla juices flowing again." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hostage (2005) |
"Old action heroes die hard. Bruce Willis regains blazing glory in Hostage, an action-thriller with more twists and turns than Mulholland Drive." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hot Fuzz (2007) |
"I think they go a little gun crazy in the final reel. Bullets shot from the imagination of these guys are fun. Zombies were merely funnier." |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hotel Rwanda (2004) |
"In addition to being an epic slice of riveting drama, Hotel Rwanda is that rare movie that can actually make a difference." |
Larry Ratliff |
Splat 2/4 |
House of D (2005) |
"Duchovny cares dearly for these characters. ... Unfortunately, he's little more than a novice when it comes to keeping clichés out of the storytelling process.
" |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 4/4 |
House of Flying Daggers (2004) |
"Bountiful in human spirit ... and martial arts action, House of Flying Daggers is like no other film. Except for Hero, which was like no other before it.
" |
Larry Ratliff |
Splat 2.5/4 |
House of Wax (2005) |
"House of Wax really heats up in the final reel. That, considering the subject matter, is one way to bring down the house.
" |
Larry Ratliff |
Tomato 3/4 |
Howl's Moving Castle (2005) |
"When it comes to magnificence in anime imagineering, Miyazaki continues to be the man." |
