[movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Hairspray (2007)      "Perfectly modulated to Waters' merciless mocking of surface pretension and the cult of cool" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Half Nelson (2006)      "The new face of the American liberal." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Halloween (1978)      "very possibly no other seminal seventies film--not The Godfather, not Star Wars, perhaps not even Jaws--has had a greater influence on popular culture." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Halloween (2007)      "If Rob Zombie ever decides to direct a horror movie, watch out." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Halls of Montezuma (1950)      "I thought of maverick Samuel Fuller and his no-nonsense 'tabloid' approach to cinema." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Hancock (2008)      "A fascinating film about exploitation as it applies to blacks and the entertainment industry." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Happening (2008)      "Shyamalan's essentially made a sociopathic movie." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Happy Accidents (2001)      "Sam is the twitching Romeo to Ruby's tear-stained Juliet; and their fair Verona is the fourth dimension." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Happy Endings (2005)      "Marking time until Roos gets tired of spinning his webs of astringent, pithy, smug little nothings." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Happy Feet (2006)      "There's a road map to saving ourselves in Happy Feet and it has something to do with revelling in difference rather than being repelled by it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Happy Times (2002)      "Aspires for the piquant but only really achieves a sort of ridiculous sourness." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Hard Goodbyes: My Father (2003)      "Begins to take on an allegorical, global feel." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Hard Word (2003)      "a mish-mash of post-mod noir ideas (the butcher, the redeemed femme, cannibalism) arranged with little respect for rhyme and reason." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008)      "I was really looking forward to this one." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle (2004)      "I don't know if it's a revolution, but it's a step in the right direction. Funny, too." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)      "That the film is a worthy swan song for Richard Harris is first a surprise then an incalculable relief--and destined to be the proudest legacy of the picture: a beautifully crafted dark fable." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005)      "The first wholly dispensable installment." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009)      "An ungainly tween romcom sprinkled arbitrarily with a sudden horde of amphibious zombies; inexplicable cameos from Ursa, Non, and Zod; and silly broomstick rugby." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)      "Dark as pitch: unsettling, unsettled, unresolved, and utterly remarkable." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004)      "Troubling and turbulent as any coming-of-age saga worth its agony must be. It feels absolutely true, and absolutely magical." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)      "The ultimate example of a synergic multi-media construct: a familiarity with the source lends the film the depth, conflict, and resonance it fails to otherwise provide." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Hart's War (2002)      "If you think of the film at all after the lights come up, best not to contemplate the plot, which is littered with holes like P-51 rocket craters. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Havana Nights (2004)      "It's fluff that attempts to parse human suffering so that it doesn't appear to be fluff. . . meaning it's exploitive fluff." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Head in the Clouds (2004)      "It's a watched pot that never boils because there's no fire lit beneath it." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Head of State (2003)      "Just a sickly version of Bulworth, a movie that wasn't much in the final analysis but at least had the anger and edge to draw a little blood." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Head-On (2005)      "A familiar film done in fabulously unexpected fashion." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Heart of Glass (1974)      "The artist as the bridge connecting the head in ascendance and the heart of glass." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Heartbreak Kid (2007)      "Finally the gross exploitation picture that detractors have accused the Farrellys of perpetrating throughout their career." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Hearts in Atlantis (2001)      "A lumbering collection of unearned pathos and awkward dialogue, shot in a golden Maxfield Parrish glow that inspires more sighs of resignation than nostalgia." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Heathers (1989)      "The film exists in a peculiar twilight space between reality and fantasy, just as adolescence exists in a perverse stasis suspended atwixt childhood and maturity" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Heaven (2002)      "Another love story in 2002's remarkable procession of sweeping pictures that have reinvigorated the romance genre." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001)      "Velvet Goldmine and All that Jazz by way of The Wall--a bombastically endearing romp that is as infectious as it is (surprisingly) poignant." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Heights (2005)      "Treating film as a viable medium for telling adult tales." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Heist (2001)      "A self-indulgent exercise in senseless word-love and misguided nepotism. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Hell's Gate (2002)      "It occurs to me in all honesty that if you rent this thing you deserve what you get." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Hellbent (2005)      "Elevates the conversation along its own parameters." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Hellbound: Hellraiser 2 (1988)      "delivers an amazing amount of discomfiting imagery on an extremely limited budget" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Hellboy (2004)      "One part fierce, one part vulnerable: like the director, like his heroes." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)      "The film itself is lovely, a breathless feast of fantasy anchored by an authentic humanism." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Hellchild - The World of Nick Lyon (2002)      "An imagination as feverishly fecund and difficult to shake as a yeast infection." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Hellraiser - Hellworld (2005)      "The weakest kind of equivocal garbage." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Hellraiser: Deader (2005)      "You know you're in trouble when the word you use to augment your franchise moniker is a semi-creepy, made-up word (why not "Hellraiser: Spookeegery")." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Henry 2: Potrait of A Serial Killer (1996)      "Picking out particular flaws in a dim-witted disasterpiece like this requires the exact same pathology that impels the film's hero to squish other humans like insects." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Henry Rollins Live Uncut from NYC      "Entertaining. . . unfocused." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Henry Rollins Show - Season 1 (2006)      "Quicksilver." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Hero (2004)      "A ravishing, seductively alien fantasy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Hi, Dharma! (2002)      "formulaic and sloppy" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Hidalgo (2004)      "A facile tall tale of race and a race made by Disney in decline." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Hide and Seek (2005)      "Extremely derivative, sure, but prior to its last half-hour, it's also sort of amusing as a genre "Where's Waldo?"." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
