Haiku Tunnel (2001) |
"Josh and Jacob Kornbluth emerge intact from their first filmmaking venture and score more hits than misses." |
Jay Carr |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hair Extensions (2008) |
"This Japanese horror movie is weirder than anything life could offer." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hair High (2006) |
"Much of the visual comedy comes from the incongruous proportions of the bodies: skinny legs and puffed-out chests." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"Against all expectations, Hairspray turns out to be an explosion of industrial-strength good cheer, delivered by very smart show-biz pros with wit, passion, and a soupçon of dementia. Resistance is futile." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007) |
"The Kurds may not yet have a country, but as long as Bahman Ghobadi keeps making movies they have a national cinema." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"Gritty and terrifically human, Half Nelson is not your big brother's Hollywood high school movie." |
Ty Burr |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Half Past Dead (2002) |
"Wildly incompetent but brilliantly named Half Past Dead -- or for Seagal pessimists: Totally Past His Prime." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 1/4 |
Halloween (2007) |
"As a sensory experience, the redo is flat. Even if giving audiences a start were Zombie's strength, fans already know when the scares are coming." |
Tom Russo |
Splat 2/4 |
Halloween II (2009) |
"With his new sequel, Zombie spends less time paying tribute and more time getting inventive, with mixed results." |
Tom Russo |

Hancock (2008) |
"What does one say about a movie that wants laughs from a shot of one inmate's head up the derriere of another?" |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 2/4 |
Hanging Up (2000) |
"Too scattered and insubstantial to be as funny and moving as it could have been." |
Jay Carr |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"The latest in the wave of post-Judd Apatow Bad Lad comedies, The Hangover is rowdy, scurrilous, and, for about three-quarters of its running time, a lot more hilarious than it has any right to be." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert (2008) |
"One's opinion of it may depend more on age and parental status than exposure to other rock-concert films. But there's no denying the film delivers on its promise." |
Joseph P. Kahn |
Splat 2/4 |
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |
"Hannah Montana: The Movie has performance numbers -- the first one fancifully blurs the line between a live Hannah concert and a music video - flat melodrama, and such guest stars as Rascal Flatts and Taylor Swift, as themselves." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007) |
"Hannah is charmingly self-absorbed without the extenuating circumstance of self-knowledge. Above all, she's young. The movie forgives her for that and, with occasional misgivings, so do we." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato |
Hannah Takes the Stairs (2007) |
"[Director] Joe Swanberg has an uncanny talent for making the randomness of downtime feel as alive as it seems generationally true." |
Wesley Morris |

Hannibal (2001) |
"A good movie of its type." |
Jay Carr |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"Formerly masterful novelist Thomas Harris continues to pimp out the serial-killing cannibal he (and Anthony Hopkins) made famous." |

The Happening (2008) |
"You feel like you're not watching the end of the world but the end of a career." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Happenstance (2001) |
"Overall the film is well crafted and pleasantly head-snapping." |

Happily Ever After (2005) |
"A tremendously provocative date movie for couples brave enough to face each other afterward." |
Ty Burr |
Splat 1/4 |
Happily N'Ever After (2007) |
"The film aims for sassy but lands in soggy, the victim of lazy scripting and pacing." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happiness of the Katakuris (2002) |
"It's a ball when it works, which is why fans of Lars von Trier's Dancer in the Dark, Francois Ozon's 8 Women, and other darkly inspired, genre-bending musical fusions must introduce themselves to the Katakuris." |
Janice Page |
Tomato |
Happy Accidents (2001) |
"A quirky little film that delves deeply into our preconceived notions of reality and closely held myths of love." |
Joan Anderman |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Happy Endings (2005) |
"As tidily and 'happily' as this movie winds up, it seems like a draft for a project Roos is still working out." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"Happy Feet is one of the most visually ravishing CGI films yet rendered." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Times (2002) |
"Not a film to rival To Live, but a fine little amuse-bouche to keep your appetite whetted." |
Janice Page |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) |
"Happy-Go-Lucky isn't one of Leigh's epic social canvases like Secrets & Lies or even Topsy-Turvy; rather, it's an edgy character study whose message only gradually emerges." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"Hard Candy is the rare movie that may be worthiest for the arguments you'll have after it's over." |

A Hard Day's Night (1964) |
"We loved them -- yeah, yeah, yeah. Now we can love them all over again." |
Jay Carr |
Splat 2/4 |
The Hard Word (2003) |
"The Hard Word strains to be light on its feet but piles too much on its plate: characters come and go, changing personality at the director's whim, and you're never quite sure who's getting the shaft." |
Ty Burr |
Splat |
Hardball (2001) |
"So much a copycat film, with so low a level of originality, that it makes almost superhuman demands on its cast of young actors, who need only the love of Keanu Reeves to turn them into a field of winners." |
Jay Carr |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"Silliness is the movie's only ambition, but there's something mind-blowing about seeing a fratty comedy through two pairs of Asian-American eyes, particularly when those eyes belong to actors who were token minorities in other dumb comedies." |
Wesley Morris |

Harriet the Spy (1996) |
"Fresh and charming, it never plays down to kids." |

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"Entertaining and moves nimbly enough to keep your way-back seat from turning to stone." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"There's a darkness on the edge of Hogwarts, and its name is adolescence." |
Ty Burr |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"Steve Kloves has written five of the Harry Potter screenplays, and The Half-Blood Prince reeks of formula." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"This series is growing up with moody blockbuster urgency. More emotionally wracked with each new entry, the Potter franchise has become a mainstream fantasy metaphor for adolescent crisis. It's Rebel Without a Curse." |
Ty Burr |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"It's far less self-conscious about how to please an audience and isn't as slavishly interactive with its source material." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"For every flight, the film serves up equal amounts of flattened-out shortfall." |
Jay Carr |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Harsh Times (2006) |
"...If the movie is a comment on the dire straits of our returning soldiers, it's unconvincing." |
Wesley Morris |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 (2008) |
"A sense of mortality shadows the documentary. On or off the gridiron, time is the only opponent who always wins. Even at Harvard, even at Yale." |
Mark Feeney |
Splat 1/4 |
Hatchet (2007) |
"It's just not that scary (even the gory sequences are predictable and boring). And it certainly isn't clever or funny." |
Jonathan Perry |
Splat 2/4 |
The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"An efficient, reasonably enjoyable factory product that should scare a 9-year-old just enough and be gone from his or her memory by dinnertime." |
Ty Burr |

The Haunting (1999) |
"If you crave horror, you're better off seeing The Blair Witch Project a second or third." |
Jay Carr |
Splat 1/4 |
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) |
"The Haunting in Connecticut is another movie based on a supposedly true paranormal occurrence -- perhaps you haven't entirely forgotten 2005's The Exorcism of Emily Rose or An American Haunting from 2006." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 2/4 |
The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) |
"It's no Rosemary's Baby, but for teens looking for a quick fix on All Hallow's Day, it will do." |
Chelsea Bain |
Splat 2/4 |
Havana Nights (2004) |
"As you might expect, the movie is as square as a sock hop." |
