Hair High (2006) |
"The film spoils itself %u2014 and not in the way Plympton has spoiled his fans so much before." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"It's all about the music, baby. And the rollicking tunes and flashy dance numbers carry the day. This new "Hairspray" is as good as it could possibly be." |

Half Past Dead (2002) |
"Ja Rule and Kurupt should have gotten to rap. It would have benefitted the dialogue." |

Halloween (1978) |
"flawless for what it is: a completely immersive, visceral dynamo of stylistic belly-jiggling and spine-shivering." |

Halloween (2007) |
"Finally we know why homicidal maniac Michael Myers wears a mask. Straight-up embarrassment." |

Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"Guilty of the worst sin of attributable to a movie like this: it's not scary in the slightest." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hamlet 2 (2008) |
"Set in Tucson but shot in Albuquerque, the movie depicts the city as a lowly, slum-ridden burg with a liquor store on every corner and impoverished schools. In other words, they get it exactly right." |
Phil Villarreal |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hancock (2008) |
"The action comedy, a biting satire of superhero mythology and the comedy that results from its real-world applications, makes you love the guy for his brutally logical demeanor." |

Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"While it's fascinating to watch the killer evolve, the fact that he's always onscreen detracts from his mystique. Hannibal derives much of his intrigue from his mystery." |

The Happening (2008) |
"For Night, The Happening is a little blip on his career flatline. The guy just may pull through." |

Happy Gilmore (1996) |
"From beginning to end, there's not a slow moment in "Happy Gilmore," the Tiger Woods of gleefully idiotic comedy." |

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"True to the form of previous Potter films, the busy story tends to lose track of characters, hyperactively vaulting from one plotline to the next without satisfying resolutions or transitions." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"It feels like Charlie Brown getting ready to kick the football that Lucy's holding. He's sure she's going to pull it away once again, but Charlie gives it another try anyway, because it's there, and who knows, maybe this time will be different." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2/4 |
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) |
"While voluptuously bringing to luscious life the kid-lit world of witchcraft, wizardry and bizarre creatures, has script and plotting as bland as the Hardy Boys." |

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (2003) |

The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things (2006) |
"To appreciate or even tolerate the film, you must separate yourself from the characters and the material. What's unfortunate is that the movie is too well made to let you do just that." |
