Hairspray (1988) |
"A John Waters classic" |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"A funny thing happened: I was having so much fun watching this movie that when it was over, I felt a strange feeling of disappointment. I could have sat there all day." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 4/4 |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"An excellent film that deserves to put Ryan Gosling in the running for an Oscar nomination." |

Halloween (2007) |
"I won't make the case that Halloween is anything other than a well-crafted slasher film. That's all it wants to be, and that's what it achieves. But I will say that the movie does the horror genre a big favor by reclaiming a legendary character." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 1/4 |
Halloween II (2009) |
"After the success of his original, director Rob Zombie warned fans that he had no intention of making a cheesy sequel. Oh, how I wish he'd stayed true to that promise." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"There's only one way to kill Michael Myers for good: stop buying tickets to these movies." |

Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"There's something admirable about a comedy that celebrates the provocative nature of art, even if that comedy doesn't quite provoke as much as it could have." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hancock (2008) |
"While by no means a perfect film, I still found a lot to enjoy here. There have been at least two dozen superhero movies in the last six or seven years. It's kind of nice to see one that looks at things from the other side of the coin." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"The script is really a marvel of invention as it finds myriad ways to sink the characters deeper and deeper into the abyss, and this is where many of the film's biggest laughs come into play." |
Mike McGranaghan |

Hannibal (2001) |
"There are so many tactical errors in "Hannibal" that it's hard to know where to start." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 0/4 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"In the past, Hannibal Lecter has both frightened and fascinated me. Now he's just a sad shadow of his former cinematic glory, stuck in an unspeakably awful movie." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Happening (2008) |
"While there are certainly ideas behind it, the film lacks the bloated self-importance that plagued the director's last two efforts. This time, Shyamalan seems content merely to entertain us, and that's enough." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"While I wish it had been more solid in its story, I still like the movie and recommend it. There's enough here that's great to offset the shakier stuff." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
A Hard Day's Night (1964) |
"Captures the Beatles when they still looked like they were having fun, back before drugs and psychedelia and Yoko Ono took effect." |

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"Isn't it amazing that a "stoner comedy" could be so profound?" |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"An empowering idea is woven with great subtlety into a series of poop jokes, sex jokes, and pot jokes. Maybe some people will miss it. I didn’t." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"This is a vastly superior movie, capturing all the things that I felt were missing from the first." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"The Harry Potter series just keeps getting better and more interesting." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"I don't believe in magic, but I do believe in "movie magic," and this sixth installment has it." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"While I definitely like the movie, I don't think Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is the best film in the series because it's essentially all middle. In and of itself, the film does not really provide any kind of payoff." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"Now that the groundwork has been laid, the series is free to really explore some compelling themes." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"For a movie about magic, there's not much magical about it." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"The Haunted Mansion was made in the spirit of giving everyone in the family something to enjoy together. It’s successful at that level." |

He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"Despite some definite tendencies toward the formulaic, He's Just Not That Into You actually has half a brain in its head." |

Head of State (2003) |
"The most gratifying thing is that Mays Gilliam appeals to lots of voters in the film. Not just black or white voters, but everyone who feels disenfranchised with a system in which so many of our leaders are so unlike ourselves." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"Despite some sizeable flaws, I still recommend the movie for what it is: a laugh machine." |
Mike McGranaghan |

Heartbreakers (2001) |
"Why beat around the bush? This is one of the funniest comedies to hit the big screen in a long time." |
Mike McGranaghan |

Hearts in Atlantis (2001) |
"As I write this review, I find myself growing nostalgic for the film. I want to walk away from my computer and see it again right now. It's just that good." |

Hellboy (2004) |
"The world created in Hellboy seems to reveal something clever at every turn...I hope that there's a sequel." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"Hellboy II: The Golden Army hits just the right mixture of style, comedy, action, and character development. Here's hoping for a third installment." |

Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) |
"Why anyone thought it was time for Herbie to make a comeback is beyond me, but here he is." |

Hero (2004) |
"Hero is one of the most visually poetic movies I’ve ever seen." |

Hidalgo (2004) |
"I know Seabiscuit. Seabiscuit was a friend of mine. Hidalgo is no Seabiscuit." |

High Crimes (2002) |
"The movie is good and worth seeing - I just would have expected this kind of talent to team up for something more ambitious." |
Mike McGranaghan |

High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008) |
"High School Musical 3 is like Grease meets Up With People in the United Colors of Benetton. Not a combination that fills me with joy." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) |
"We’ve all heard of movies being “so bad they’re good.” The Hills Have Eyes may be the first recorded case of a movie being so good it’s bad." |

A History of Violence (2005) |
"[David Cronenberg] no doubt wanted to say something profound about the nature of violence, but his approach betrays his intentions." |

Hitch (2005) |
"Hitch falls into that weird gray area of movies I sort of liked, but sort of didn’t." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Hitcher (2007) |
"Picking up a crazed hitchhiker is conceivable. Picking up a crazed hitchhiker who knows every move you're going to make before you make it is not." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) |
"The major problem is that the subtle, quirky humor of Douglas Adams’ novel doesn’t translate well to a big, expensive, special effects-laden production." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Holes (2003) |
"Too many films geared toward young audiences are dumbed down, or worse. Here is a movie that has the potential to inspire them instead." |
