Richard Corliss |
Splat |
Hancock (2008) |
"Smith's pictures deliver familiar pleasures; they work with efficiency but not inspiration, honoring the time-honored movie platitudes that will neither shock nor stretch an audience." |
Richard Corliss |
Splat |
The Hangover (2009) |
"This is a bromance so primitive it's practically Bro-Magnon." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |

Richard Corliss |

Tomato |
Harper (1966) |
"By combining flamboyant suspense with a sunbaked slice of life and lots of good mean fun, Director Smight makes every clue a pleasure to follow." |
|
Tomato |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"Not just an efficient babysitter but a wizard of a movie." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |

Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |

|
Splat |
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"He's Just Not That Into You is like reliving your 20s, without any of the fun." |

"Girls have hoop dreams too. And dreams can come true at the final buzzer." |
Richard Corliss |
Splat |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"It'd be nice if the 2007 Heartbreak Kid had some idea of the moral stakes involved, instead of playing everything for no-brain farce." |
Richard Corliss |
Splat |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"If The Heartbreak Kid doesn't go totally wrong, its big problem is that doesn't really go anywhere. It just sort of lies there, like dumb Lila on the beach, waiting to turn gold." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato 4/5 |
Heat (1995) |
"All this adds good weight and tension to the movie and provides a lot of very good actors with the opportunity to do honest, probing work in a context where, typically, less will do." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
Heavy Traffic (1973) |
"Heavy Traffic not only has an authentic tenement toughness but the rough feeling of unassimilated autobiography, of experiences and fantasies still keenly felt." |
Jay Cocks |
Tomato |
Heidi (1937) |
"Like all Shirley Temple stories, Heidi traces the reaction of human wickedness to the Temple dimples; unlike many of them, it has a craftsmanlike dramatic structure." |
|
Tomato |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"If the film is just as strange and endearing as its glowing protagonist -- and it is -- that's because the director and co-writer is Guillermo del Toro, 43, who has the wildest imagination and grandest ambitions of anybody in modern movies." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |

Richard Schickel |
Splat |
High Plains Drifter (1973) |
"As a director, Eastwood is not as good as he seems to think he is. As an actor, he is probably better than he allows himself to be." |
Richard Schickel |
Splat |
Higher Learning (1994) |
"Singleton has made all the right political moves given his complicated circumstances, but he hasn't really made a movie of them." |

Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
Holiday Inn (1942) |
"Crosby's easy, casual banter is just the right foil for Astaire's precision acrobatics, his wry, offbeat humor." |
|
Tomato |
Honkytonk Man (1982) |
"It is a guileless tribute not only to plain values of plain people in Depression America, but also to the sweet spirit of country-and-western music before it got all duded up for the urban cowboys." |
|
Tomato |
Hoop Dreams (1994) |
"It's about three hours long. But it moves like Isiah, fast and smooth, and it's over in a heartbreak." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
Hoosiers (1987) |
"Hackman is wonderful as an inarticulate man tense with the struggle to curb a flaring, mysterious anger." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
The Host (2007) |

House of Sand and Fog (2003) |
"A superior, heartbreaking film." |
Richard Schickel |
Tomato |
The House of Yes (1997) |
"Bujold has the frazzled hauteur of an aging, neglected star, and Spelling is nicely glazed, studiously artless. But the film is keyed to Posey's performance: perfectly brittle, faultlessly false." |
Richard Corliss |
Tomato |
How Green Was My Valley (1941) |
"Because his recollections ring true, they are certain to evoke a similar nostalgia in all but the most slab-sided of moviegoers." |
|
Tomato |
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966) |

Humpday (2009) |
"Humpday makes you squirm and think, in the best possible way." |
Mary F. Pols |
Tomato |
The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996) |

Richard Corliss |
Tomato 4/5 |
