Madagascar (2005) |
"In an ocean of family films that either try too hard or aim too low, Madagascar is a charming, genuinely funny picture that provides a good ride for adults and kids." |

Madea's Family Reunion (2006) |
"Madea is one extended, brutal soap opera, stacked with mediocre actors in an endless "smell the fart" acting contest (Lynn Whitfield wins), and kills any chance for important messages to be taken seriously." |

Man in the Chair (2007) |
"A film that probably never wouldn't have seen the light of a projector if it wasn't for some kind of "Let's get Actor X that long-deserved Oscar" grab." |

Man of the House (2005) |
"Man of the House isn’t offensive, but it’s a waste of time, potential, and, well, cheerleader cinema." |

Man of the Year (2006) |

Man On Wire (2008) |

The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |

Manderlay (2006) |

Manderlay (2006) |
"One should be happy to learn "Manderlay" is better than "Dogville," if only because it is forty-five minutes shorter." |

Metal: A Headbanger's Journey (2005) |
