Haiku Tunnel (2001) |
"In their low-budget, indie-film way, the Kornbluth brothers have come up with a modest, modern-day equivalent of How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hair High (2006) |
"Rarely is filmmaking of any kind this exuberant, this inventive or this entertaining." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"Hairspray is an infectious aerosol comedy with nearly every hair in place." |
John Moore |
Tomato 3/4 |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"The tone is even and thorough, the performances restrained and believable, the implied future bleak yet somehow satisfying." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"Why so vulgar?" |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hancock (2008) |
"Since The Pursuit of Happyness, actor-producer Smith has made no secret of his desire to make movies that entertain in that big-studio way but also dig deeper. Hancock is a rousing measure of that intent." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2/4 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"Early in this unraveling adventure, a Vegas tourist quips, "Some guys just can't handle Vegas." Yeah, we know a couple: writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Too half-baked for even a guy like Lecter to swallow." |
Steven Rosen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"There's a certain stylishness from director Peter Webber (Girl With a Pearl Earring), but not enough good acting to make it stick." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Happening (2008) |
"The Happening reminds us that there has always been something admirably at stake in the writer-director's films: human love and connection." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 1/4 |
Happiness of the Katakuris (2002) |
"There are so many moments in Happiness of the Katakuris that beg us to walk out on the movie, it's hard to pick just one." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Endings (2005) |
"Heartfelt but dark comedy." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"When Happy Feet isn't being pretty darn fun, it's just plain pretty." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"Hard Candy is tantalizing, brutal, fetishistic, gripping and exhausting, with plenty of moments for movie patrons to shout advice at the screen." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato |
A Hard Day's Night (1964) |
"It captures almost everything good about its time." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Hard Word (2003) |
"The movie-jaded will dismiss The Hard Word as just another slick heist flick with a band of burglar buddies. Too bad for their cynical souls. They'll be missing a grand (theft) time." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"Perfectly paired, John Cho and Kal Penn take the stereotypes of the brilliant Asian and the genius Indian for a joyride." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Harrison's Flowers (2002) |
"It uses the pain and violence of war as background material for color." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"Not only are the special effects and narrative flow much improved, and Daniel Radcliffe more emotionally assertive this time around as Harry, but the film conjures the magic of author J.K. Rowling's books." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"Newell deftly mixes in sweet teenage angst and lighter moments of physical humor." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"With its deft handling of teen yearning and affection, Half-Blood Prince maneuvers mysteries of heart and hankering that resound in worlds magic and Muggle." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"Truth be told, it's the lad's many onscreen allies that prove the film franchise's richest draws. (Thank you, Alan Rickman, for your wonderfully embittered turn as Severus Snape.)" |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"Cuaron has done what few sequel caretakers ever manage, refreshing the characters and stories for a long potential run." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"The movie needs to be stronger dramatically, with a much more appealing central performance, to be the great family-oriented screen fantasy so many wanted." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 (2008) |
"Rafferty uses interviews with the former players, most now in their 60s and nearly all of them touchingly philosophical, to reveal the cultural issues buffeting their campuses, but not necessarily their locker rooms." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato |
The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"The Haunted Mansion is cheesy fun." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat |
The Haunting (1999) |
"A blaring kitsch project of a horror film." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Haven (2006) |
"Time will tell if Bloom can grow, but Haven suggests writer-director Flowers may become a perennial pleasure." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"He's Just Not That Into You has a likable cast going for it. Yet it suffers from its own relationship myopia." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2/4 |
Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"Duigan gets the costumes right and the emotion wrong." |

The Heart of Me (2003) |
"The Heart of Me needed more work on its front-end story and less work on its set design." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Heart of the Game (2006) |
"An exhausting and thoroughly entertaining tale of race, fair play, loyalty, pregnancy and the true spirit of amateur athletics." |
Michael Booth |
Splat |
Heartbreakers (2001) |
"A two-hour marathon." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato |
Hearts and Minds (1975) |
"A reminder of how the best documentaries can resonate years after their release." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat |
Hearts in Atlantis (2001) |
"Going for transcendence, [Hicks] gives us lugubriousness." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato |
Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001) |
"Operates successfully on enough levels one needs an elevator to fully appreciate it." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Heights (2005) |
"Heights is far from a perfect movie, but as a hint of Terrio's talent, it's an eminently watchable effort." |
Michael Booth |
Splat |
Heist (2001) |
"Rare for Mamet, that talk here sometimes comes off as strained and awkward, or as a slightly highbrow variation on the usual hackneyed bon mots of generic action films." |
Steven Rosen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hellboy (2004) |
"Del Toro clearly knows exactly what he's doing. With the big budget of Hellboy, he was given the tools to do it well, along with the freedom to do it right." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"The PG-13 Hellboy is fun. And it's unafraid to embrace the schmaltzy." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Henry Poole Is Here (2008) |
"Henry Poole never quite approaches the ecstatic." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato |
Her Majesty (2005) |
"It's a nice study of a young girl's happy obsession." |
Michael Booth |
Tomato 3/4 |
Herb & Dorothy (2009) |
"Sasaki balances her subjects' yarns with insights into the cultural moment that shaped them and vice-versa, in particular the shift from abstract expressionism to the sparer gestures of minimalist and conceptual art." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Splat 2/4 |
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) |
"Herbie: Fully Loaded proves that a movie about a souped-up Volkswagen Beetle with the engine of a rebel and a will of its own can still be a pedestrian outing." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hero (2004) |
"Hero is not a long movie, yet it is persuasively epic." |
Lisa Kennedy |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hidalgo (2004) |
"Popcorn for us and oats for the horses, delivered by the tall drink of water that is Mortensen." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Hide and Seek (2005) |
"As a fright movie, Hide and Seek is only a middling thriller. But as a tip sheet for real estate shoppers in wooded rural areas, it's top-notch." |
Michael Booth |
Splat 2/4 |
High Crimes (2002) |
"High Crimes badly misses the demeanor of what it pretends to be -- a tense courtroom drama about military corruption, a la A Few Good Men." |
Steven Rosen |
