Hairspray (2007) |
"Hairspray is a playful, kitschy, sweet but snarky tribute to the era of sky-high bouffants, TV dance parties and desegregation." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"Ryan Gosling is electrifying in the role, delivering a performance that is sure to catapult him into the front ranks of stardom." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Halloween (2007) |
"Carpenter's original, a series of brilliant joy-buzzer jolts, treated the horror as a dark pop joke, courting our giggling disbelief. Zombie turns it somber." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"Fleming saves most of his energy for the blowout final production numbers, which play like demented outtakes from High School Musical." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Hancock (2008) |
"Almost any moviegoer should be able to find something to enjoy, but it's hard to imagine anyone liking this mishmash from beginning to end." |

The Hangover (2009) |
"The Hangover, like the condition for which it's named, has some spirited moments, but more often it stumbles and slurs, regurgitating earlier pleasures and praying for the fog to lift." |
Rob Nelson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |
"Ultimately, the fan-pleasing HMTM and its bestselling soundtrack album are about building new bridges." |

Splat 1/4 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"By spelling out the traumas that turned a kind Lithuanian princeling into an epicurean serial killer, the movie reduces a figure of mythic evil to a jumbo case of post-traumatic stress disorder." |
Colin Covert |
Splat |
The Happening (2008) |
"The attention paid to [Wahlberg and Deschanel's] piddling relationship woes vs. the entire fate of humanity is absurd. We never feel persuaded that they have a bond, much less invested in seeing them patch it up." |

Happy Endings (2005) |
"Disjointed indie comic drama." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"Happy Feet is cooler than a penguin's toenails, taking what appears to be a routine animated musical comedy into rewarding, unexpected places." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 4/5 |
Happy, Texas (1999) |
"A charming fish-out-of-water romantic comedy, the modestly budgeted Happy, Texas more than makes up in heart what it lacks in splash." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 4/4 |
Harakiri (1962) |
"A devastating, emotionally intense critique of the feudal system's hypocrisy and the warrior's code." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"Hard Candy is a psychological thriller as chilling as a cold, serrated blade to the jugular." |

The Hard Word (2003) |
"'Amiable' is an odd way to describe a crime drama that contains wall-spattering amounts of bloodshed, but it fits The Hard Word." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"With its intoxicating blend of frat boy humor and sociological satire, Escape From Guantanamo Bay is the comedy of the year so far." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"The strongest film of the bunch." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"Unlike most film series, the Potter movies haven't weakened along the way." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"While the film doesn't have the imaginative magic of The Prisoner of Azkaban or the chummy warmth of The Goblet of Fire, it's a serviceable bridge to the story's final chapters." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"Younger children might be put off by the darker tone of this movie, but the franchise's new direction holds promise." |

Hart's War (2002) |
"Reaches for more than it can handle, but it's well-acted and earnest in its intentions." |

The Haunted Mansion (2003) |
"Amusing but not side-splitting." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2/4 |
The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) |
"The Haunting in Connecticut operates like someone leaning in behind you and yelling. At first, it makes you jump. The 200th time, it's just annoying." |

Havana Nights (2004) |
"The original movie had shallow, stereotypical characters, a corny, predictable story and lots of high-energy dancing. The same goes for the sequel, although the characters are even a little shallower and the story a little cornier." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat |
Haven (2006) |
"The goal seems to have been to create a multilayered thriller, but the senseless, verbose and convoluted saga never generates simple suspense, let alone tension." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |
"The film is deft, delicious work, but a very different romantic fantasy than you probably expect." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"What makes this one a cut above the generic is a tart dose of drama and hard-bitten intelligence amid the candy corn." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"The love story rates a B, while the drama is a C at best. Granted, the adventure part perks up to an A-minus, but you have to wade through two-thirds of the movie to get there." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Head Trauma (2005) |
"This effective, atmospheric chiller seeps into your fear center like damp rot." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Head-On (2005) |
"This is a gritty drama about self-destruction. On a basic level, its title refers to an early scene in which a man floors his car and plows into a brick wall. In a more general sense, it reflects the protagonists' fatalistic approach to life." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Heading South (2006) |
"The regal Rampling has never been finer, and Cesar makes his character surprisingly proud and sympathetic." |
Colin Covert |

The Heart of the Game (2006) |
"This is a movie about empowerment, integrity and having fun, and those are always in season." |

Hell Ride (2008) |
"As the film's triple-threat writer/director/star, Bishop isn't noticeably talented." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hellbent (2005) |
"The film goes through the motions familiar from mainstream slasher movies, but without an underlying logic motivating the action, the film becomes an exercise in blood-spattered boredom." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hellboy (2004) |
"A welcome change of pace from the senseless sensibilities of most Hollywood comic-book spectacles." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"It's the biggest, richest, most imaginative superhero movie of the summer." |

Henry Poole Is Here (2008) |
"Henry Poole works hard to convert us, even pulling out quotes from Noam Chomsky, but it feels a little too much like a bumper sticker." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) |
"All ends well, everyone gets what's coming to them, and any 9-year-old girl who does not stand on her seat cushion and cheer has remarkable self-control." |
