1/5

Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers (1989)

"Filming this sequel, the ultimate revenge!"

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/5

Halloween II (1981)

"A senseless remake; a series that should have stopped after the first movie."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Hamlet (1948)

"For its time, one of the best Shakespearean adaptations, even though a lot of the text has been omitted. Olivier's psychological take on Hamlet could be debated today."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Hammer Horror Collection (6-Pack) (1957)

"Whether you’re a fan of the old black-and-white monsters ... or the prettier and gorier British interpretations, these DVD sets will please any horror devotee. "

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/4

Hancock (2008)

""Hancock" is not a bad movie, just an underachieving one. It lacks a "wow" factor. It is bland and routine and flies off in too many directions."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Hannah and Her Sisters (1986)

"One of Allen's best; all-around great performances, witty with a strong script."

Bob Bloom

Splat

Hardball (2001)

"Hardball may sound like an inner-city remake of The Bad News Bears, but the sunny, light touch of that film is nowhere to be found in this somber feature."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)

"There isn't really much plot to Harold and Kumar, just a lot of scatological humor, sex and body parts as well as body function jokes."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Harold and Maude (1971)

"A whimsical love story; Cort is cuddly, Gordon is larger-than-life. An enchanting piece."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3.5/4

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)

"Chamber of Secrets is a less benign excursion. The intensity and scares have been ratcheted up, and the younger filmgoers -- those about 7 or 8 and under -- may find it frightening."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3.5/4

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)

"Forget battling dragons or dealing with mer-people in the dangerous tournament, Goblet of Fire is as much about the angst of young love as it is about wizardry."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
2.5/4

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)

"The emphasis in the film ... is off-kilter, with too much time spent on the romantic entanglements of Harry and his friends Hermione and Ron."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
2.5/4

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)

"What is lost is the texture and richness that permeated J.K. Rowling's fifth entry in the series. ... The movie, as most films do, sacrificed narrative for action. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3.5/4

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)

"(Director Alfonso) Cuaron has created a darker, more sinister world for Harry, while also opening up more of the grounds around Hogwarts. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3.5/4

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

"Columbus has done a fine job casting the major characters."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

Hart's War (2002)

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Haunting (1963)

"Basically using lighting, camera angles and sound effects, (director Robert) Wise has created a frightening atmosphere that turns an old house into the incarnation of evil."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Havana Nights (2004)

"The dance routines are splendid and the music, especially if you have a decent sound system, will make you want to join in. "

Bob Bloom

Havana Nights (2004)

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Heart and Souls (1993)

"A touching, sentimental little piece of fluff."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1.5/4

The Heartbreak Kid (2007)

"The biggest problem with the movie is timidity. The Farrellys ... refuse to take the needed step of making star Ben Stiller totally unsympathetic. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Heathers (1989)

"A wonderful savage satire on high school life."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1.5/4

Heist (2001)

Bob Bloom

Tomato
5/5

Help! (1965)

"A wild and wonderful comedy that highlights the Beatles comic timing and charisma."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
2.5/4

Henry Poole Is Here (2008)

"At times you feel as if you should raise your arms and shout "Hallelujah" or "Amen!""

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Henry V (1944)

"A colorful, spectacular adaptation, made to inspire the WWII troops, which it does. Olivier at the top of his art."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Hercules (1959)

"A true guilty pleasure for the young at heart. The prototype sand-and-sandal epic."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/4

Hero (2004)

"Hero is a poetic masterpiece, a film filled with grace, nobility and action."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Hidden (1987)

"An interesting s-f, crime thriller. Fast-paced, action-packed and most enjoyable."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

High Sierra (1941)

"Wonderful with a tough, but poignant Bogart and loving, vulnerable Lupino. Still watchable today; the ending may bring a tear to your eye."

Bob Bloom

The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

Click here to see the review.

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Hills Have Eyes (1977)

"Fans of (Wes) Craven’s films, as well as those who appreciate fine scary features, can’t go wrong with this sharply-honed reissue."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/4

Hitch (2005)

"Hitch is a film propelled by the charisma of its actors, especially (Will) Smith and (Kevin) James. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005)

"This is science fiction as envisioned by Preston Sturges or the Marx Brothers. It jumps from slapstick to wordplay to repartee at the speed of light."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Hold That Ghost (1941)

"Not up to the standards of Buck Privates, but it does have its moments."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

Holes (2003)

"The mix of adventure and comedy holds up well in the film’s widescreen transfer to DVD."

Bob Bloom

Splat
1.5/4

Hollywood Homicide (2003)

"Hollywood Homicide ... feels like three hours. Like (Harrison) Ford’s (Joe) Gavilan, it runs out of steam and begins huffing and puffing way before the closing credits."

Bob Bloom

Splat
0/5

Holy Matrimony (1994)

"A total embarrassment; not Nimoy's best work behind the camera."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Hope and Glory (1987)

"A wonderful and touching story about life during wartime."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

The Horn Blows at Midnight (1945)

"Not as bad as Jack Benny used to joke about. It ain't great, but it does have some clever moments."

Bob Bloom

Splat
2/5

Horrors of the Black Museum (1959)

"A film that goes in more for shock than horror."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/5

Horse Feathers (1932)

"Swordfish! "Everyone Says I Love You!" One of the funniest of the early Marx films; a crazy quilt of puns and gags."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/4

Hotel Rwanda (2004)

"It should be mandatory for everyone ... to see Hotel Rwanda. The carnage it graphically shows and the lessons it painfully teaches should be burned into every soul. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

Houdini (1953)

"Accuracy, be darned; this is pure entertainment bio-pic with Tony Curtis at the height of his charismatic matinee idol period; plus working with wife Janet Leigh isn't bad either."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

The Hound of the Baskervilles (1939)

"The stories, set in their proper Victorian Age, provide ample evidence as to why Rathbone and Bruce became so associated with their roles. "

Bob Bloom

Tomato
4/4

The Hours (2002)

"If an Oscar category existed for ensemble acting, The Hours would unquestionably earn it. Watching a trio of actors at the top of their game is a delight."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

House of Flying Daggers (2004)

" Flying Daggers is a martial arts love triangle ... a tale of love, betrayal and tragedy, with beautiful photography and solid performances."

Bob Bloom

Tomato
3/5

House of Frankenstein (1944)

"A wonderful Universal B-horror; the first of the all-star monster fests. Lots of fun with J. Carrol Naish almost stealing the show as the hunchback Daniel."

Bob Bloom

Tomato

House of Sand and Fog (2003)

"The commentary track ... contains several insights into the transformation from novel to screen. "

Bob Bloom

Splat
1/4

Hulk (2003)

"Instead of adding some playfulness, some comic book zest, (Ang) Lee has directed an angst-ridden excursion into suppressed emotions, guilt and scientific irresponsibility."

Bob Bloom
