Habit (1997) |
"Sam's suspicion that Anna is a vampire because she's anorectic, reticent, and only comes out at night prompts his best buddy to observe that Sam resembles a character in a bad movie -- as if the self-reference will deepen the obvious allusions." |

Hail Mary (1985) |
"No longer content with a materialist analysis of the state of the world, he's attempting here to film the intangible." |

Hairspray (1988) |
"Not only Waters's best movie, but a crossover gesture that expands his appeal without compromising his vision one iota; Ricki Lake as the hefty young heroine is especially delightful." |

Tomato |
Hairspray (2007) |
"With its wisecracking screenplay, period-perfect pop score, and Shankman's splashy choreography, this may be the funniest, dancingest screen musical since Singin' in the Rain." |

Half Nelson (2006) |
"One might also argue that a crack addict couldn't be responsible enough to be a good teacher, but he's the most believable protagonist in any American movie I've seen this year." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Splat |
Half Past Dead (2002) |
"The title of this dismal action flick refers to the Seagal character's having suffered a near-death experience, though he's returned from the other side with a remarkable lack of insight." |

Halloween (1978) |
"John Carpenter's 1978 tour de force, perhaps the most widely imitated film of the 70s." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Halloween (2007) |
"The set-up is tediously slow, while the later murders are packed so tightly it's like watching a blender on high speed." |
Andrea Gronvall |
Splat |
Halloween II (1981) |
"Rick Rosenthal, who directed this 1981 sequel, doesn't have Carpenter's expansive, affectionate way with stereotypical characters, and without it they're empty shells -- bodies waiting for the slaughter." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Halloween II (2009) |
"This umpteenth feature about the unstoppable masked killer Michael Myers could be the work of any journeyman, give or take a few hundred gratuitous pop-culture references." |

Hamlet (1948) |
"Laurence Olivier's famous 1948 interpretation of Shakespeare's play suffers slightly from his pop-Freud approach to the character and from some excessively flashy, wrongheaded camera work." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"[Coogan's] screen persona is vain, dim, angry, and deeply miserable, and his handful of scenes here with a smilingly harsh Catherine Keener are little masterpieces of comic sadomasochism." |
J. R. Jones |
Tomato |
Hancock (2008) |
"As popcorn movies go, this is fleet, funny, and even thoughtful: its central question, nicely underplayed by director Peter Berg, is why power and altruism never seem to intersect." |
J. R. Jones |
Tomato |
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle (1992) |
"Curtis Hanson's direction and Amanda Silver's screenplay are both models of no-flab craft and intelligence, and all the actors (who also include Ernie Hudson and Julianne Moore) are believable from the first frame to the last." |

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986) |
"Allen's way of setting himself up as a fount of moral wisdom is as insufferable as ever, but at least the preachiness is alleviated by some genuine wit." |

Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"In the finest tradition of TV newsmagazines, Hannibal Lecter's penchant for serial murder turns out to be the result of a traumatic childhood." |

The Happening (2008) |
"Wahlberg turns in one of his worst performances ever, but then he's saddled with preposterous scenes (like one where he tries to placate a ficus) and such lame lines as "Could this really be happening?" Funny, I was wondering the same thing myself." |

Happily N'Ever After (2007) |
"The rationale behind this unattractive animated comedy, a U.S.-German coproduction, seems to be that since it can't create a fairy-tale world of its own, it might as well riffle through many of the more familiar ones." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Splat |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"This curious ecological parable was directed by George Miller (Babe: Pig in the City), who still has an eye and a sense of humor but on this particular outing can't get the script he wrote with three others to make much sense." |
