Hamlet (2000) |
"Visually flat." |
|
Splat |
Hamlet (2000) |
"Ultimately, I don't think that Michael Almereyda's modern-day adaptation of Hamlet really works, but it's a lot of fun along the way." |
|
The Hammer (2008) |

Splat |
Hanging Up (2000) |
"The script flips from hack sentimentality to sitcom shtick with predictable rhythms." |
|
Splat |
Hanging Up (2000) |
"Rarely comes to life." |
|
Tomato |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Handsomely photographed." |
|
Splat |
Hannibal (2001) |
"More complicated, more outrageous, less controlled in every way." |
|
Tomato |
A Hard Day's Night (1964) |
"A Hard Day's Night conveys not just a joy in music and The Beatles, but a joy in cinema." |
|
Tomato |
Hard Eight (1997) |
"Best of all is Anderson's sense of character, expressed in dialogue that never strains for effect and in his expert handling of a first-rate quartet of actors." |
|
Tomato |
Hard Eight (1997) |
"It's hugely refreshing to watch a movie populated almost exclusively by character actors." |
|
Splat |
Harriet the Spy (1996) |
"There's dancing, and bubble blowing and bed bouncing that's entirely aimless and Harriet's neighborhood sleuthing becomes particularly pointless." |
|
Splat |
Harriet the Spy (1996) |
"There's a certain amateurish quality about Harriet the Spy, but it's more the TV-trained grownups behind the camera...than the pint-sized thespians in front of it." |
|
Tomato |
Harriet the Spy (1996) |
"As the film progresses, the story becomes engaging." |
|
Splat |
Harriet the Spy (1996) |
"The film's OK, a little thick with sensory overload, but it wasn't made for old guys like me." |
|
Splat |
The Haunting (1999) |
"There are few truly frightening moments in the film, little tension or real sense of menace, and the camp humor that is suggested in early scenes dissipates fairly quickly." |
|
Splat |
The Haunting (1999) |
"This film relies on special effects instead of suggestion, plot instead of mood, and explanation instead of mystery." |
|
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"Easily as generic a chick flick as has come down the pike in many a moon." |
||
Tomato |
Head On (1998) |
"One of this year's most sensual tragic spectacles -- a tour-de-force on a thousand different levels, with no easy happy endings in sight." |
|
Splat |
Head Over Heels (2001) |
"This lightweight concoction can't justify a trip out to the multiplex, unless you're a girl between the ages of 12 and 17." |
|
Splat |
Heartbreakers (2001) |
"The script is lacking that 'a-ha' moment so vital to con-artist comedies." |
|
Tomato |
Heat (1995) |
"The cop/ crime stuff that makes up the bulk of the movie is well thought out and well directed." |
|
Tomato |
Heat (1995) |
"Heat generates lots of energy but gives off little light." |
|
Splat |
Heavy Metal (1981) |
"Asked if I wanted to see it again, I figured, why not? I would have remembered if it was really bad. But memory does play tricks." |
|
Tomato |
Heavy Metal (1981) |
"Regardless of its dated stylishness (which still holds up remarkably well a decade plus later), Heavy Metal was a pioneering film in 1981 and remains a pivitol and infuential body of art today." |
|
Splat |
Held Up (2000) |
"Maybe a few years from now Held Up won't look like the misstep for Jamie Foxx that it appears to be today. But it probably will." |
|
Help! (1965) |
|||
Splat |
Here on Earth (2000) |
"Here on Earth is so very general in its characters and story that it actively keeps you from enjoying the simple pleasures of a movie like this, even with your sights set low." |
|
Splat |
Here on Earth (2000) |
"Don't be surprised if you exit Here on Earth feeling both moved and incredulous." |
|
Splat |
The Hi-Lo Country (1998) |
"An ultimately overwrought project!" |
|
Tomato |
High Fidelity (2000) |
"The British hero of Nick Hornby's novel, on which this movie is based, certainly does not scream out 'John Cusack.' And yet once you see him, you can't think of anyone who'd do it better." |
|
Tomato |
High Fidelity (2000) |
"Had High Fidelity been a glorified one-act set in Rob's store, with a wealth of banter among these assorted losers to keep us laughing, it would still be a fine film. Lucky for us, there is so much more." |
|
Splat |
Higher Learning (1994) |
"It's not as dispensable as Singleton's sophomore effort, Poetic Justice, but it's a long way from the assured freshman storytelling of Boyz N the Hood." |
|
Splat |
Highlander: Endgame (2000) |
"Kinetic but borderline incoherent, hinging entirely on character relationships whose significance it can't possibly slow down long enough to explain for the newbies in the audience." |
|
Tomato |
Hilary and Jackie (1998) |
"The acting by Emily Watson and Rachel Griffiths, playing Jackie and Hilary, respectively, as adults, is first-rate." |
|
Tomato |
Hit and Runway (2001) |
"What makes Hit and Runway uniquely fun, however, is the unapologetic extent to which Livingston and Cohen turn it into an index of beloved Woody-isms." |
|
Splat |
Hollow Man (2000) |
"As Hollow Man scrambles toward its conclusion, the dialogue founders and logic retreats." |
|
Splat |
Hollow Man (2000) |
"The real invisible man here is Verhoeven, whose talent can barely be seen in Hollow Man." |
|
Tomato |
Holy Smoke! (1999) |
"One other factor makes Holy Smoke! persuasive to watch: Campion's sheer pleasure in image-making." |
|
Tomato |
The House of Mirth (2000) |
"Stick with the film, accept the rules of the time and the meditative rhythm of the language that Davies has woven into his story, and you won't be disappointed." |
|
Tomato |
House on Haunted Hill (1999) |
"Directed with a nimble, savvy touch." |
|
Tomato |
"Ron Howard seems much more engaged by the anarchy and mischief of the Grinch than he does with the pleasantries and communal feeling in Whoville. Perhaps there's hope for him yet." |
||
Splat |
"The heart of this movie isn't two sizes too small; it's just slightly misplaced." |
||
Tomato |
Human Resources (2000) |
"An eye-opener, a gritty and relevant story of the shifting relationship between workforce and management." |
|
Tomato |
Humanité (1999) |
"Audiences willing to wade knee deep in the muck and mire of the human abyss are advised to seek out Humanité at the local arthouse." |
|
Tomato 6/10 |
The Hurricane (1999) |
"Occasionally riveting." |
