Hairspray (2007) |
"While Travolta may be the box-office pull, it's Walken who is a revelation. Hairspray is lucky to have him, and so are we." |

Half Moon: A Musician's Last Journey (2007) |
"Honours and elevates the unquenchable spirit of its subjects." |
Sukhdev Sandhu |
Splat 1/5 |
Hancock (2008) |
"Director Peter Berg mounts a special-effects extravaganza that's very boring indeed, and doesn't quite deafen us to the inadequacies of the script, while Smith pretends to be a grumpy git but, naturally, winds up begging us to love him." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Hangover (2009) |
"Some very funny, very non-PC dialogue is thrown about like a game of catch. The actors, virtually unknown, are terrific." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
Hannah Montana The Movie (2009) |
"This Disney film is a hand-tooled, eight-cylinder charm offensive: the landscape is ravishingly shot, the songs are cute and the plot moves from slapstick to romance at a cracking pace. Your 13-year-old daughter will utterly love it." |
John Walsh |
Splat |
Harry Brown (2009) |
"First-time director Daniel Barber delivers a full measure of foul-mouthed brutishness, but his picture is strictly cartoon-level in terms of character and story." |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"Economic Woes Cutting Potter Short?" |

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"This film is a bit like a summer cold: you just have to sit there while it runs its course." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"If Yates and Goldenberg haven't given the story shape, they have given it pace – something missing from the bloated and (to my disenchanted eyes) dreary book: even if the moments don't always connect, few of them are dull." |

Harsh Times (2006) |
"The characters are full of holes and inconsistencies, and after 90 minutes of impending doom, the final crisis feels forced." |
Robert Hanks |
Splat 1/5 |
Hatchet (2007) |
"This low-budget horror spoof lasts only 84 minutes, but seems to take forever." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
He Was a Quiet Man (2007) |
"It's dark and too relentless for the comedy it would like to be." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 1/5 |
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"A message to women: this movie is undermining and traducing your sex." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"Whatever else Stiller is, he's not a "kid", and his behaviour as a 40-year-old looks even more ludicrous than Charles Grodin's did in the original." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
Heima: A Film by Sigur Ros (2007) |
"The whole island seems to be in transition – huge developments threaten to deface the natural grandeur of the place – and this documentary may yet come to represent a vital memorial." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 1/5 |
Helen (2008) |
"It's a neat idea, of one life "standing-in" for another and starting afresh, but badly handled. It's a glum 79 minutes." |
John Walsh |
Tomato 3/5 |
Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008) |
"All the same, this isn't a patch on the phantsamagoric splendour of Pan's Labyrinth, over-egging every set-piece and outstaying its welcome by at least half an hour." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno |
"Unearths footage of camera tests and experiments in kinetic art and colouration that suggest how very remarkable the film might have been. At times, it recalls Hitchcock's use of optical trickery in Vertigo." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Hide (2009) |
"The Hide is a modestly scaled but cleverly written chamber piece." |

High School Musical 3: Senior Year (2008) |
"Next to this, Dawson's Creek and Gossip Girl look like Ken Loach." |
Robert Hanks |
Tomato 4/5 |
A History of Violence (2005) |
"What Mortensen does brilliantly is to keep us guessing." |

Splat 1/5 |
Hitman (2007) |
"It's based on a computer game, Hitman (see what they did with that title?), though even when it reaches maximum velocity, it's still panting behind The Bourne Ultimatum for style and excitement." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
The Hoax (2007) |
"Like Irving's book, it doesn't hold up." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
Home (2009) |
"Home is actually less a road movie than the domestic-invasion movie taken to its sick conclusion." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
The Horseman (2008) |
"In the end, good intentions are overwhelmed by repetitive nastiness – you've seen one man beaten about the face with a crowbar, you've seen 'em all." |
Robert Hanks |
Tomato 3/5 |
Hostel: Part II (2007) |
"Hostel: Part II does succumb to mere ghoulishness in the last-reel bloodbath, but up to that point its moral tension feels horribly persuasive." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
Hot Fuzz (2007) |
"The same impish [Spaced] spirit is uncorked here, but it has been fatally indulged." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat |
Hotel Harabati (2006) |
"In terms of keeping his plot obscure, director Brice Cauvin tips his chapeau in the direction of David Lynch, but ultimately it's rather lifeless. File under "calculatedly enigmatic"." |

The House Bunny (2008) |
"One could be forgiven for thinking that the American college system is merely one big popularity contest. Certainly, no one does anything outrageous like read a book." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
How to Lose Friends & Alienate People (2008) |
"This Brit-on-the-make comedy would be insufferable without the leavening presence of Simon Pegg." |

The Hurt Locker (2009) |
"There will be other challengers in time, but so far The Hurt Locker is easily the best film to come out of the Iraq war." |
