"Always mesmerizing film has few faults." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 0/4 |
Hackers (1995) |
"You leave the theater angry at everyone associated with it for stealing your money and your time with a movie that insults the audience's intelligence with complete garbage." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Haiku Tunnel (2001) |
"An over-the-top, yet dead-on, office comedy that rings true even when it's the most exaggerated" |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"Travolta is good, but the real stars are the other actors, especially newcomer Nikki Blonsky as Tracy Turnblad. ... Amanda Bynes, in pigtails, steals many a scene with some terrific eye work." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Half Past Dead (2002) |
"It has more in common with a fireworks display than a movie, which normally is expected to have characters and a storyline." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"The only fun part of the movie is playing the obvious game. You try to guess the order in which the kids in the house will be gored." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Ham & Cheese (2004) |
"Played like a bad sitcom with my fellow viewers providing the laugh track.
" |

Hancock (2008) |
"A disappointing mishmash." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Hand in Hand (2007) |
"The acting is excellent and the bickering is the best. ... Director Iris Green and the terrific cast leave us with a lot of promise for future films." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 4/4 |
Hands On a Hard Body (1998) |
"One of the best documentaries ever made." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hanging Garden (1997) |
"The director touches your heart without ever letting the story dissolve into anything approaching a tearjerker." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Hanging Up (2000) |
"One of the most irritating movies of the year, features non-stop phoning." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hannibal (2001) |
"Foster reportedly passed on the part because she didn't think the high blood level of the screenplay was worth her time. She was so right." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Happiness (1998) |
"I'm fairly thick skinned, but this film managed to create major feelings of revulsion in me." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Happy Accidents (2001) |
"The movie's fatal flaw is that chemistry between [Tomei and D'Onofrio] is never quite credible, [although] individually, they both deliver interesting performances." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"It's more like a laughless version of Ice Age than it is March of the Penguins. ... Its musical choices, sung only in snippets, are weird and eclectic." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Happy Times (2002) |
"The talky script leaves it to Benshan to carry the movie, but he just isn't a strong enough actor." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Happy Together (1997) |
"Never is the narrative interesting and rarely are the characters the least bit compelling." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy, Texas (1999) |
"For those of us that could use a little mirth in our lives, the good-spirited Happy, Texas with its silly script and adorable antics is just what we need.
" |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Hard (1999) |
"When a film sinks to the level of making jokes about pedophilic rape, you know it's in big trouble ... it's only saving grace is that it's sometimes laughably bad." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hard Candy (2005) |
"A smart thriller ... feels like Fatal Attraction updated for the internet age." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 9/10 |
A Hard Day's Night (1964) |
"Don't even try to keep a smile off of your face and a song out of your heart while watching the film. It's just not possible." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hard Eight (1997) |
"A comedy without humor, a tragedy without emotion, and a story without meaning." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hard Goodbyes: My Father (2003) |
"Definitely a good movie, but one that can be unbearably and painfully sad, especially for fathers." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1/4 |
Hard Rain (1998) |
"Graham Yost's script serves up one cliche after another for the actors, who thankfully managed to mumble quite a few of the lines." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
The Hard Word (2003) |
"Too much time spent in petty bickering and not enough in robbing." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Hardball (2001) |
"Contains more miraculous conversions than a revival." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Harmonists (1997) |
"An enjoyable, historical story with a ponderous and sappy Sound of Music-style ending." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004) |
"Sweetly silly." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1/4 |
Harriet the Spy (1996) |
"The whimsical and meaningless first part dissolves into a mean spirited and disturbing concluding section." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"Lots more of the same isn't better." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"This overly long reading from the Rowling scriptures [is] a certain recipe for slumber." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) |
"... consistently visually stunning -- a real feast for the eyes. The story -- not so much." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"Definitely a much darker story than the first four, it is also richer and more compelling. (It's also the first one I really liked.)" |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"It isn't worth sitting through almost two-and-a-half hours of a movie without enough for anyone other than a certified Potter fan." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"The movie has two serious flaws ... Daniel Radcliffe, as Harry, is almost devoid of personality ... [and] the film is a full hour too long." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1/4 |
Harsh Times (2006) |
"A repetitive and pointless stoner comedy, it's never funny, interesting or even tolerable. I've rarely seen so many people checking their watches in a theater." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hart's War (2002) |
"The well-timed message of the movie, about the meaning of honor, is certainly one that resonates." |
Steve Rhodes |

Hav Plenty (1997) |
"It limps along at best. Its dialog is so stilted that the actors are content to read the screenplay rather than invest much energy in trying to act it." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1/4 |
Havana Nights (2004) |
"Guilty pleasure? I wish! The movie features two kids who can't dance, which the editors try their best to hide." |

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |
"If you think the mystery/thriller genre has exhausted all possible twists by now, you haven't seen Angélique in action." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
He's Just Not That Into You (2009) |
"If your director can't elicit some terrific performances with actors such as Johansson, Aniston, Connelly and Barrymore, it's time to replace him and get someone who can." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Head in the Clouds (2004) |
"A pretty period picture that's deadly dull." |
