Half Past Dead (2002) |
"Some of Seagal's action pictures are guilty pleasures, but this one is so formulaic that it seems to be on auto-pilot." |
Bryan Reesman |
Splat 5/10 |
Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"Hard-core slasher aficionados will find things to like ... but overall the Halloween series has lost its edge." |
Bryan Reesman |
Splat |
Hamlet (2000) |
"The picture starts out promisingly, but seems to lose scale and focus as it progresses; this could be the only production of Hamlet on record in which the bloody finale seems anti-climactic." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Lacks the sense of sexy transgression that made the first film a hit." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato |
Happenstance (2001) |
"Much of Happenstance comes across as a cinematic parlor game. But what a fun game it is." |
Bilge Ebiri |
Tomato |
Happy Accidents (2001) |
"A quirky, clever surprise." |
Bill Pearis |
Tomato |
A Hard Day's Night (1964) |
"A kinetic musical extravaganza that proved to detractors there was more to the Beatles than mop-tops and melodic pop hooks." |
Sean O'Connell |
Splat 6/10 |
The Hard Word (2003) |
"Caper flicks should stay two steps ahead of the audience, and this one just barely keeps pace." |
Justin Hartung |
Splat |
Hardball (2001) |
"From The Matrix to this? Reeves should pay us to sit through this chilling, inner-city sports drama." |
Jackie Potts |
Splat 2/4 |
Harrison's Flowers (2002) |
"Somehow we're meant to buy that this doting mother would shun her kids, travel to one of the most dangerous parts of the world, don fatigues and become G.I. Jane." |
Michael Phillips |
Tomato 6/10 |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"HP2 is the first movie's equal, but is somehow the lesser because of it." |
Dan Fazio |
Tomato 7/10 |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"This is the Harry Potter you imagined while reading." |
Dan Fazio |
Splat 2/4 |
Hart's War (2002) |
"...a run-of-the-mill courtroom drama that John Grisham could have tossed off between endorsing royalty checks." |
Bill Pearis |
Splat 4/10 |
Harvard Man (2002) |
"Unintelligible, poorly acted, brain-slappingly bad, Harvard Man is ludicrous enough that it could become a cult classic." |
Michael Phillips |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"Swirling apparitions, a wonderful Southern gothic atmosphere and a thwarted love story make this a fine companion piece to the Walt Disney theme-park attraction." |
J. C. Farrow |
Splat |
The Haunting (1999) |
"Although The Haunting gets funnier, dumber, and less suspenseful as it goes on, it never loses the power to frighten, because it never had it." |
Steven Boone |
Splat 5/10 |
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |
"Exploring the flipside of Tautou's adorable pixie is an interesting idea, but this movie just isn't up to the task." |
Justin Hartung |
Tomato 7/10 |
Head of State (2003) |
"[Rock's] off-the-wall sense of humor and genuinely likable persona overcome his lack of finesse behind the camera." |
Erich Scholz |
Splat |
Head Over Heels (2001) |
"[A] harmless generic comedy." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat 5/10 |
The Heart of Me (2003) |
"We've seen it all before." |
Erich Scholz |
Splat 4/10 |
Heartbreak Hospital (2002) |
"You've already seen Heartbreak if you've watched the far superior Nurse Betty or Sunset Boulevard. Even the unwatchable Soapdish is more original." |
Michael Phillips |
Splat |
Heartbreakers (2001) |
"It's difficult to believe these unpolished, self-centered vixens could master a con." |
Sean O'Connell |
Tomato |
Hearts in Atlantis (2001) |
"Expect to get choked up reliving how you truly cut your teeth." |
Steven Grimm |
Tomato |
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) |
"[Mitchell's] performance blends self-mocking wit and tearful confession into a drag act of epic proportions." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Held Up (2000) |
"Scenes begin with an amusing premise and a few laughs, but quickly fizzle as the jokes become increasingly one-note." |
Leah Beth Reisman |
Splat |
Here on Earth (2000) |
"Here on Earth plods along predictably, hammering home its moral points and struggling to spin a spiritual haze around the kids' romance." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato 7/10 |
Hey Arnold! The Movie (2002) |
"Though it feels at times like a direct-to-video release, director Tuck Tucker's movie is still well-paced and funny." |
Bryan Reesman |
Splat 2/4 |
High Crimes (2002) |
"While High Crimes is riveting at times, it relies mostly on adrenaline, not intelligence, to keep us glued to our seats." |
|
Tomato |
High Fidelity (2000) |
"Cusack remains a most engaging performer." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Highlander: Endgame (2000) |
"Adrian Paul carries the burden here, making Endgame feel like an extended episode of the popular television show." |
Sean O'Connell |
Tomato |
Himalaya (2001) |
"As the tenacious Tinle and Karma war it out for the tribesmen's hearts, the crystal of their battle keeps turning, showing new allegorical and human depths." |
Arne Johnson |
Tomato 8/10 |
His Secret Life (2002) |
"It treats us to beautiful insights and tragic struggles that swell the heart and make us feel genuine empathy for two people embracing the truth amidst a pack of lies." |
Michael Phillips |
Tomato 7/10 |
Holes (2003) |
"Think The Shawshank Redemption for The Bad News Bears crowd." |
Dan Fazio |
Splat |
Hollow Man (2000) |
"Genuine trash, tempered only by Verhoeven's disconcertingly cool, classical direction." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat 2/4 |
Hollywood Ending (2002) |
"Much of the film's humor is simple slapstick, and the blind-director premise is straight out of a sitcom." |
Dan Fazio |
Splat 2/10 |
Hollywood Homicide (2003) |
"Nothing works -- the comedy is thin at best and the story is an embarrassment of cliches and plot holes." |
Ross Brooks |
Tomato 8/10 |
The Holy Land (2003) |
"Terrific acting, an intriguing plot and a setting ripe with drama, violence and uncertainty make this an engrossing hour and a half." |
Michael Phillips |
Splat |
Holy Smoke! (1999) |
"As the story gets weaker and lazier, neither Winslet nor the stunning visuals can save the film from descending into camp and confusion." |
Sandra Ramani |
Splat 4/10 |
Home Room (2002) |
"Its noble intentions are undermined by syrupy, movie-of- the-week direction." |
Justin Hartung |
Splat 1/5 |
Honey (2003) |
"One of 2003's worst, Honey lazily steals its story from a host of '80s musical-themed flicks." |
Bill Pearis |
Splat 4/10 |
The Hot Chick (2002) |
"The execution is so pedestrian that the most positive comment we can make is that Rob Schneider actually turns in a pretty convincing performance as a prissy teenage girl." |
Ross Brooks |
Tomato 8/10 |
The Hours (2002) |
"The Hours is never morose. Instead, we feel the characters' strength onscreen." |
Bill Pearis |
Splat 4/10 |
House of 1000 Corpses (2003) |
"Despite some gruesomely colorful sets, a few scares and Sid Haig's droll performance as the wise-cracking Captain Spaulding, the disjointed narrative is as messy as the blood-splattered corpses littering the film." |
Bryan Reesman |
Splat 6/10 |
House of Fools (2003) |
"It's too often weighed down by clichés." |
Bill Pearis |
Tomato |
The House of Mirth (2000) |
"Davies brings his elegant aestheticism to bear for the first time on a strong story line and succeeds superbly." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Housekeeper (2003) |
"Despite Berri's deft touch, the story is a little too slight to fill out the movie's running time, but engaging performances from Dequenne and Bacri make up the difference." |
Bill Pearis |
Splat |
How High (2001) |
"This marginally funny cannabis comedy only proves how funny Cheech and Chong movies were in their day." |
Ross Brooks |
Tomato |
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000) |
"Michael Corenblith's busy production design provides plenty to look at." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat 3/10 |
How to Deal (2003) |
"Any melodrama that introduces both teen pregnancy and a 17-year-old's funeral within the first act would seem to have nowhere to go but up, yet this joyless exercise just wallows in empty navel-gazing." |
J. C. Farrow |
Splat 6/10 |
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) |
"If reality's your bag, take a pass. But if you're looking for a harmless diversion to get you in the mood for Valentine's Day, this could be the ticket." |
