Hairspray (2007) |
"Several beautifully intercut musical numbers keep the action moving and the dialogue in between is sweet, tart and subversive." |

Tomato A- |
Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007) |
"...a moving road movie that culminates in a dramatic, music-saturated finale." |

Half Nelson (2006) |
"...one of the best male performances of the year from Gosling and a breakthrough for its filmmakers and young costar Epps." |
Laura Clifford |
Tomato C+ |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"it is still an interesting story of love and friendship between two people a world apart." |

Halloween (2007) |
"...a sometimes thoughtful reimagining...also plodding and brutal rather than horrific. The leaner, creepier original remains the classic." |
Laura Clifford |
Tomato B- |
Halloween: H2O (1998) |
"The horror genre is not my forte in either taste or interest, but I have to admit, I enjoyed sitting through Halloween: H20." |

Hamlet (2000) |
"Too intent on its own modernization trickeries for its own good." |
Laura Clifford |
Tomato B- |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"Cowriter/director Andrew Flemingpresents the anti-inspirational teacher in Marchz - the guy's a mess and Coogan is simply brilliant playing him, but Fleming's overloaded his film" |
Laura Clifford |
Splat C- |
Hancock (2008) |
"[Smith] should have pushed for a rewrite as "Hancock" only flies so far before degenerating into a lame and illogical "My Super Ex-Girlfriend."" |

The Hangover (2009) |
"Director Todd Phillips ups the ante on his "Old School" antics in "The Hangover," a movie which solidifies the comic chops of Cooper and Helms and should make a star out of Galifianakis." |
Laura Clifford |
Tomato 9/10 |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Director Ridley Scott and lead Hopkins have presented us with a buffet worth lingering over." |
Laura Clifford |
Tomato B- |
The Happening (2008) |
"The suicides are mostly very originally staged and creepy as hell...Mark Wahlberg is OK, but a scene where he 'forgives' his wife's indiscretion is just plain weird, as is Zooey Deschanel throughout." |
Laura Clifford |

Happily N'Ever After (2007) |
"Happily N'Ever After is more appropriate as DVD fodder." |

Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) |
"This is writer/director Mike Leigh's best film since 1993's "Naked" and, in a sense, its photo negative twin - female centric as opposed to male, light vs. dark, optimistic vs. nihilistic..." |
Laura Clifford |

Hard Candy (2005) |
"There's really only one compelling reason to see this film and that is the extraordinary performance by young Ellen Page, a breakout if ever there was one." |

Hard Candy (2005) |
"
Hard Candy will make the guys squirm in their seats for extended lengths of time as diminutive Hayley coldly goes about her business punishing Jeff for his crimes." |

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"It's laugh out loud funny, and once the screenwriters figure out how to resolve's Patrick Harris's return, they still have Amsterdam." |
Laura Clifford |

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"...has the same spirit of non-stop comedy as its predecessor and strikes the same chord in the hearts of those of us who appreciate a good laugh." |

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"an epic pothead movie with laughs and smarts" |

Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"H&K has a lot to say about smoking pot and the silliness of its illegality...a “Marijuana Kills” public service commercial...is a stroke of satiric genius." |

Harrison's Flowers (2002) |

Harrison's Flowers (2002) |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"Director David Yates, the first Brit to helm the series, invests "Order of the Phoenix" with a very sinister tone from his opening frames..." |
Laura Clifford |

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"an influx of terrific British actors, the oncoming adulthood of the film's three young stars and the fabulous effect that is the Hippogriff sock this one over" |

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |

The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"If the creative folk at Disney are going to keep using the theme parks as an idea pool for films, they should stick to the “Pirates” mold and break the “Haunted Mansion” one." |
