The Hangover (2009)
"The cast is personable, the photography is attractive, the script is cleverly constructed and mildly amusing but there is nothing here that screams comedy classic."
Allan Hunter
Splat 2/5
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009)
"Completely predictable, sickeningly sentimental and definitely limited in its appeal to diehard fans only."
Splat
Harry Brown (2009)
"A morally dubious thriller that is caught between social realism and lurid sensationalism."
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)
"This is storytelling at its most spellbinding – streets ahead of the rival summer blockbusters."
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009)
"Although this horror movie is based on true events the result is hard to distinguish from any other haunted house ghost story."
Tomato 3/5
He's Just Not That Into You (2009)
"Somehow love conquers all in this lengthy but engaging ensemble piece."
Heimatklänge
"You probably couldn’t stand an entire evening of Zehnder’s music but the film offers a charming insight into a little known segment of world music."
Tomato 4/5
Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno
"Inferno could have been a film to rank alongside Vertigo or Peeping Tom and its abandonment is one of cinema’s great tragedies. This is a dazzling act of resurrection."
The Hide (2009)
"Moody, minimalist and well-observed this is a quirky low-budget triumph for director Marek Losey."
Caroline Jowett
Home (2009)
"An enigmatic and intriguing little tale with a flavour of the paranoia once found in the Roman Polanski classic Repulsion."
Hotel for Dogs (2009)
"Anodyne family fare, Hotel is awash with all-American sentimentality but the many cute canines might just make it bearable for younger viewers."
Humpday (2009)
"More subtle and insightful than you might have expected."
The Hurt Locker (2009)
"A film that offers an intense personal perspective on the reality of an adrenaline-rush existence lived in the full knowledge that every day could be your last."
