Halloween: H2O (1998) |
"...simple, lean and quick..." |

Tomato 8/10 |
Hamlet (2000) |
"If you're more adventurous and view the great 400-year-old Shakespeare works as platforms for reinterpretation and experimentation, this Hamlet with Ethan Hawke fascinates at nearly every turn." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 3/10 |
Hanging Up (2000) |
"The cinematic equivalent of fingernails on a blackboard." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
Hannibal (2001) |
"The moody, dreamlike film by Ridley Scott lacks the impact of Jonathan Demme's Oscar-sweeping Silence of the Lambs, but perverse pleasures abound." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"Newcomer Gaspard Ulliel impresses as Lecter, displaying for us a young man losing his humanity and increasing his hatred by degrees." |

Happily N'Ever After (2007) |
"Inexperienced youngsters will be content with Happily N'Ever After, but their parents will recognize a pale, B-movie variation of the far-superior Shrek films." |

Happy, Texas (1999) |
"With his sandy hair askew and his moustache overgrown, Zahn is a bona fide comic scene stealer." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"The aptly named Hard Candy is a challenging, flawed but strangely engrossing film." |

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"The magic still sparkles in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 10/10 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"This is the darkest and most adventurous Potter film to date. Its 156 minutes fly by." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 10/10 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"As magical and adventurous as ever, but perhaps just a smidgen darker than its predecessors, and deliciously foreboding." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 10/10 |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"The Sorcerer's Stone is the first of what will almost certainly be the most popular series of fantasy films since Star Wars." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
Hart's War (2002) |
"...a modestly engaging film." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 5/10 |
The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"Haunted is much more loyal to the original amusement attraction than the freewheeling and more imaginative Pirates film, which is good for nostalgia but not especially good for storytelling." |

Havana Nights (2004) |
"With its likable young couple, Caribbean locales and great Cuban music, Havana Nights knocks the original Dirty Dancing off the dance floor." |

He Got Game (1998) |
"An eye-opening look at a high-pressure world." |

Head of State (2003) |
"If they wanted to make a truly funny and far edgier comedy, they would have put Bernie Mac at the top of the ballot." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 4/10 |
Head Over Heels (2001) |
"The setting and the premise are promising, but the creators unduly complicate matters with a silly murder-mystery subplot." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 6/10 |
Heading South (2006) |
"Laurent Cantet is less successfu ... with his obvious intention to use the women as a metaphor for the colonial meddling of the West in Third World nations, where exploitation is a rule of thumb." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 10/10 |
Hear and Now (2007) |
"Hear and Now is a beautifully made film, with footage that helps filmgoers understand the richness of the world of sight, the challenges of the world of no sound and the considerable talents and charm of her parents." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 9/10 |
The Heart of the Game (2006) |
"The result is nothin' but net." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
Heartbreakers (2001) |
"Though Heartbreakers is undeniably funny -- in the broad sense -- the film ignores that rule, overstays its welcome and sags in the extended finale." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 10/10 |
Hearts and Minds (1975) |
"It is a carefully structured yet highly emotional argument against the war in Vietnam." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Hearts in Atlantis (2001) |
"The film offers genuine rewards, particularly its understanding of the crossroads that lead a child to adulthood." |

Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) |
"A funny and strangely affecting gender-bender saga that gives rock and roll movies a much-needed jolt." |

Tomato 8/10 |
Heist (2001) |
"Thanks to the writing and story structure, Heist is more satisfying as a character study." |
Jack Garner |

Hellboy (2004) |
"Hellboy is at its best in the first half. That's when we get to watch him in action. But director Guillermo del Toro ultimately allows the film to run out of steam." |

Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) |
"Director Angela Robinson gets as much mileage as is possible out of Herbie. But even a car with a life of its own is bound to run out of gas." |

Hidalgo (2004) |
"A rousing if occasionally overwrought adventure saga that plays like a cinematic buffet table, piled high with Seabiscuit, Bite the Bullet, Lawrence of Arabia, The Last Samurai and The Black Stallion." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 4/10 |
Hide and Seek (2005) |
"The film plays out slowly, with many gliding, late-night Steadicam shots down long hallways, towards closed doors, while we hear clichéd music, creaking floorboards or dripping water." |

Himalaya (2001) |
"A special film that opens your eyes to exotic people in another part of the world, then shows you that most of their concerns mirror our own." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
The History Boys (2006) |
"Nicholas Hytner (The Madness of King George and The Crucible) adapts Alan Bennett's hit play with the entire stage cast reprising their roles, and leans heavily on Bennett's sharp-witted dialogue and the school performances." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 9/10 |
A History of Violence (2005) |
