Tomato 3/4 |
Hadewijch (2009) |
"In the tradition of Carl Dreyer, Robert Bresson and Ingmar Bergman, Hadewijch is about the dilemma of modern spirituality." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Haeundae (2009) |
"When all is screamed and done, disaster's mimicry is only competent at best." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"It's amiable, it's bouncy, it's got a sweet unknown in the lead flanked by a cast of bankable stars and, providing as it does an amiable and bouncy and sweet escape from a summer's worth of clunky blockbusters." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Half Nelson (2006) |
"Half Nelson gives the musty theme a full twist, and what emerges seems remarkably fresh. And yet mature too." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Half Past Dead (2002) |
"A shoot-'em-up for cynical times. Its only asset is Seagal himself, and frankly, he's is getting a bit past it." |
Ray Conlogue |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Halloween (2007) |
"The most depressing thing of all is that Michael will likely survive even this dire endeavour." |
Jason Anderson |
Splat 1/4 |
Halloween: H2O (1998) |
"...Steve Miner is no Carpenter." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"Its premise is smart, but the execution is pretty weary." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Ham & Cheese (2004) |
"Ham & Cheese is a three-joint movie: The more chemically mood-enhanced you happen to be when you see it, the more amusing the experience will be." |
Leah McLaren |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hamlet (1996) |
"This Hamlet may not be perfect, but it is perfectly engrossing." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hamlet (2000) |
"The result is more than a mere gimmick and less than an unqualifed success, but yes -- it's always watchable." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"Let's just say that, when the parody looks indistinguishable from the parodied, something's gone awry." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Hancock (2008) |
"The promise is dangled yet never developed. Rather, the narrative slips into a backstory that alternates between confusing and contradictory." |
Rick Groen |

Splat 2/4 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"Outrageousness proves hard to sustain, and after a stomach-lurchingly quick start, The Hangover slows down and, by the third act, fizzes out like Alka-Seltzer in a highball glass." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 1/4 |
Hank And Mike (2008) |
"This bunny is a lame duck." |
Jennie Punter |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |
"The rest of the time it's up to Cyrus to keep things light, and her undeniable charisma radiates from the big screen as strongly as it does on the small one." |
Catherine Dawson March |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Hannibal definitely grabs at the emotions, but not the one it's after. You come in hoping to have the wits scared out of you and leave with your temper barely in check." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1/4 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"As played by French actor Gaspard Ulliel, Hannibal is a playing-card joker: Ulliel performs every scene with the same dimpled smirk, which looks less like an expression than a plastic-surgery mistake." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Hansel & Gretel (2007) |
"It is a film that is just good enough to keep you hanging around to the end, at which point you leave the theatre feeling vaguely let down." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 1/4 |
The Happening (2008) |
"No mere actor could possibly escape the toxic dialogue oozing from M. Night's pen -- that's merciless." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Happenstance (2001) |
"The idea, after all, is that people don't have free will, and who wants to watch puppets, however adorable?" |
Ray Conlogue |
Splat 2/4 |
Happily N'Ever After (2007) |
"Scriptwriter Rob Moreland keeps the one-liners flowing, though, at best, they register no better than a tepid smirk on the humour thermometer." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |

Happy Endings (2005) |
"[It] feels like Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia for adolescents." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"[Writer/director] Miller has tried to make three or four different movies at once, the result occasionally lapsing into a state of noisy incoherence." |
Jason Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Times (2002) |
"A tale of unlikely friendship in an increasingly uncaring world." |
Jennie Punter |

Tomato 4/4 |
Happy-Go-Lucky (2008) |
"As refreshing as it is to find a movie that leaves you smiling, it's something much rarer to discover a film that makes you think about what a commitment to happiness really means." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"Hard Candy not only trips along a tightrope line between exploitation and art; in some ways, that line is its subject." |

Hardball (2001) |
"This is a film designed not so much to tell a coherent and moving story as it is to deliver a van full of cinematic groceries to a certain audience." |
Don Irvine |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Harmonists (1997) |
"The movie is history as kitsch, not quite on the Life is Beautiful level of manipulation, but clumsy." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) |
"Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is no political tract, but it can be surprisingly bold." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"Plays it a little too safe and hackneyed with the comedy, but the characters and the talented actors who play them are a refreshing change of pace that make the movie feel like a minor buddy-comedy revolution." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 2.5/4 |

Splat 2/4 |
Harrison's Flowers (2002) |
"Hogwash American sentimentality in a film that shows raped children and brutish soldiers is both disorienting and troubling." |
Ray Conlogue |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"Two-and-a-half hours of unadulterated fun." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"Easily the most involving of the movies so far." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"The experienced team behind the Harry Potter movie series is comfortably in the groove with the sixth film, which plays down the fantastic elements and introduces contrasting playful teenaged romance and a new tone of adult gloominess." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"It seems that love and friendship are qualities worth rattling your wand over. En route, we can once more ooh-and-aah at the franchise's impressive array of acting talent." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"In a series that's episodic by definition, too many of these episodes lack any climax or payoff." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"Despite the movie's pedestrian direction, our cranky old critic finds he can't deny kids the right to be enthralled." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Harsh Times (2006) |
"Harsh Times opens with a deadly nightmare and ends with a vast bloodbath — in between, things get a little gruesome." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Hart's War (2002) |
"Hart's War, in trying to please everyone, delivers a doubly exasperating blend of liberal and conservative pandering, both a self-congratulatory acknowledgment of historical racism and an affirmation that American patriotism excuses all sins." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Hatchet (2007) |
"The results can be messy." |
