Happy Feet (2006)

"There's nothing saying that entertainment for kids can't be substantive, but the film's hard sell against belief in the supernatural and for ecological care are simple-minded and preachy."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B

Hard Boiled (1992)

"John Woo's poetically violent action sequences are his trademark, and Hard-Boiled features three stunning examples."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B-

Hard Candy (2005)

"Those willing to subject themselves to it are in for [Ellen Page's] noteworthy performance and one of the most terrifying films to come down the pike in awhile."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B+

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

"With the Triwizard Tournament as the centerpiece, director Mike Newell fashions an action film for children that may be without any reasonable challengers."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
C-

Harsh Times (2006)

"If more action propelled this water-treading plot, Ayer might have produced the mean streets classic that Harsh Times aspires to be."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B

Hell's Angels (1930)

"The 1930 film has some major weaknesses -- most of the expository scenes, especially a creaky beginning -- but there's enough stunning stuff in it to make it worth seeing."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
D+

Hide and Seek (2005)

"Hide and Seek goes off the rails when the secret is brought into the light because it feels like a cheap gimmick, and not an original one at that..."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B-

The Hills Have Eyes (2006)

"The Hills Have Eyes is scary, something that a lot of today's horror films aren't as they compete in the game of one-upmanship in quantity and quality of gore."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
C

The History Boys (2006)

"It's too bad that the film loses its way because The History Boys asks some interesting questions about what to learn and how to use it."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B+

A History of Violence (2005)

"A History of Violence takes nostalgic ideas of the so-called good old days and exposes the truth of human behavior that such rosy views obscure. "

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
D-

The Hitcher (2007)

"Too silly and stupid to be scary, The Hitcher speeds along with no regard for logic."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B

The Holiday (2006)

"The Holiday works its magic because Meyers invests time in the characters instead of the scenarios."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
D

Home of the Brave (2006)

"Home of the Brave is so ham-fisted in its attempts to wring pathos from the vets' problems that it plays like an overwrought parody of an award bait movie."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
F

Hostel (2006)

"This is a vile exploitation film, and a shoddily-made one, that's half softcore porn and half horror porn."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
A

Hot Fuzz (2007)

"Blessed with an airtight script, a sterling cast of comedic actors, and a director in peak form, Hot Fuzz is an arresting farce sure to keep audiences locked up with laughter."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
A-

House of Flying Daggers (2004)

"[Zhang] adopts a stylized but more naturalistic look for the visually sumptuous wuxia spectacle House of Flying Daggers."

Mark Pfeiffer

Tomato
B-

House of Wax (2005)

"House of Wax's violence is abrupt and gory, giving it an ick factor that surprises and repulses in a good way."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
C+

Howl's Moving Castle (2005)

"The visual power of Miyazaki’s animation is as strong as ever, but it’s all for naught when you can’t make heads or tails of the story on screen."

Mark Pfeiffer

Splat
C

Hustle & Flow (2005)

"Like DJay, Brewer exhibits talent for what he does, but too much of it is in service of hogwash."

Mark Pfeiffer
