Tomato 3/4 |
Hairspray (2007) |
"I suppose this whole movie-to-Broadway-musical fad is fine, as long as when the shows head back to the screen they are at least as lively as Hairspray." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 0/4 |
Halloween (2007) |
"So bad it aspires to the height of utter pointlessness that was Gus Van Sant's remake of Psycho." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1/4 |
Halloween II (2009) |
"Moments that add up to a bit more than incoherence ... and an overall sense that Zombie has a clear idea of what he's trying to say but is without the skill to say it." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Halloween: Resurrection (2002) |
"Cannot revive a franchise that has been worn out since its first sequel." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Hannibal (2001) |
"What really disturbed me was the lack of a satisfying third act." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Hannibal Rising (2007) |
"Lecter is fascinating because he's an enigma; his deadly allure more appealing because his past is a mystery." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Happy Feet (2006) |
"An entertaining, sometimes visually striking piece of animation." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hardball (2001) |
"Does what it’s supposed to do, and it occasionally goes a little farther than it needs to." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) |
"Now that’s more like it." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) |
"Kloves has successfully streamlined the 734-page novel into a concise adaptation which focuses on the driving dynamic of the story but still feels coherent." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) |
"The story, obviously, is darker and more mature, and the film itself understands more than the others before it what it means to be Harry Potter." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) |
"My suggestion: Sit down and read the book again." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hart's War (2002) |
"A compact story told with focus and assurance." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Head of State (2003) |
"Yes, and...?" |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
The Heartbreak Kid (2007) |
"The Farrelly brothers seem to have run out of ideas for their big gags; in the third act, you can sense them straining to bring out the big guns while only packing a pellet gun." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Heartbreakers (2001) |
"A surprisingly dull comedy with a smart cast and a predictably uninteresting script." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hearts in Atlantis (2001) |
"I will not deny that it left me with a very nice feeling throughout." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Heist (2001) |
"A solidly entertaining caper flick with great performances, intelligent and fun dialogue, and expertly crafted plotting." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Hide and Seek (2005) |
"All the while, it's slowly grabbing a rubber chicken off the table behind it, getting ready to suddenly stick the tired old gag in your face right when it has your attention." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
High Crimes (2002) |
"Presents nothing special and, until the final act, nothing overtly disagreeable." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
The Hills Have Eyes (2006) |
"Horror is the cinema du jour it seems, and this movie is simply a casualty of that trend." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Hitch (2005) |
"For a fairly typical romantic comedy, Hitch is a mildly entertaining diversion that ultimately becomes engulfed in its formulaic trappings." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
The Hitcher (2007) |
"This could have been a polished piece of demented entertainment, but the workings of the script are far too transparent." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005) |
"They mostly get it right, and that's enough for me." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Hitman (2007) |
"The movie isn't bad; it's just all too familiar." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
Holes (2003) |
"Even for those too old to have a learning experience with the film, there's plenty to appreciate on a thematic level." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Hollywood Ending (2002) |
"Woody, what happened?" |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
Hollywood Homicide (2003) |
"I guess you can’t blame Ford for being bored during most of this, but it’s too bad the fact is so painfully apparent throughout the movie." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 0/4 |
Hostel (2006) |
"Pure exploitation, ineptly made, and completely repulsive." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 0/4 |
Hostel: Part II (2007) |
"Hostel was garbage. Hostel: Part II is that same garbage moved over about a foot on the ground." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hot Fuzz (2007) |
"Deflates the pomp of the action genre's posturing with hilarious precision." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1/4 |
Hot Rod (2007) |
"Makes the biggest error a random, moronic, absurd comedy can make by trying too hard to be random, moronic, and absurd." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Hotel Rwanda (2004) |
"Achieves an incendiary level of power that has the ability to simultaneously anger and shock." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2/4 |
The Hours (2002) |
"Generally well performed and shows many outstanding technical merits (direction and editing notwithstanding), but ultimately, it’s only memorable as a missed opportunity." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1.5/4 |
House of 1000 Corpses (2003) |
"A fascinating train wreck of a horror movie." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3/4 |
House of Flying Daggers (2004) |
"Zhang Yimou's follow-up to Hero oddly feels more like a warm up." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 0.5/4 |
House of the Dead (2003) |
"A movie is a movie, not an outlet for the most expensive arcade game ever made." |
Mark Dujsik |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The House of the Devil (2009) |
"The cinematic equivalent of foreplay. It's all about building mood, teasing us, and, in between the lines, promising an eventual payoff." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
How to Deal (2003) |
"How to Deal is about dealing, I guess; I mean, that's what the title says after all." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 1.5/4 |
How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003) |
"In what civilization is this kind of behavior romantic?" |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Hulk (2003) |
"Ambitious but inconsistent and, in the end, a slight letdown." |
Mark Dujsik |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Hunted (2003) |
"Never as exciting as it appears it should be." |
Mark Dujsik |
