Magnolia (1999) |
"If any film could be described as 'art for art's sake,' it would be Paul Thomas Anderson's Magnolia." |

Man on the Moon (1999) |
"Will appeal to Kaufman fans and Carrey fans alike, and even if you're not a fan of either, you can't deny the intriguing quality of this strange story and the skill with which it's told." |

The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |
"A quiet, contemplative noir thriller with a look and tone uncannily reminiscent of Hitchcock and a slow, brooding pace that at times undermines its effectiveness." |

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) |
"...A good seafaring yarn, not romanticized like the cartoons or summer action pictures, but simply told with honesty and verisimilitude, the way it really must have happened." |
John R. McEwen |
Splat 2/5 |
The Master of Disguise (2002) |
"...Occasional moments of Carvey genius (many of which are seen in the trailer) sprinkled sparsely throughout a senseless, leaden production..." |
John R. McEwen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Matchstick Men (2003) |
"...ultimately a slightly tarnished treasure; with the combined talent of its production team, it could have been great, but because of its clumsy writing style it has to settle for just being good." |
John R. McEwen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Matrix (1999) |

"As I have said in the past, I have barely been able to contain my excitement in the recent avalanche of quality Disney fare. Not." |
John R. McEwen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Meet the Parents (2000) |
"This film is almost too real to be funny. It is one uncomfortable moment after another — and that is what Stiller does best, but director Roach would have done well to tone it down a bit." |
John R. McEwen |
Tomato 4/5 |
Memento (2001) |
"...Forces the viewer to wrap his mind around an entirely new kind of storytelling." |
John R. McEwen |

Men in Black II (2002) |

A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999) |
"Michael Hoffman's adaptation of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is a delightful way to spend the summer solstice evening, or any other, for that matter." |

Minority Report (2002) |
"Minority Report adds yet another jewel to director Spielberg's crown, and another entry to the short list of truly thoughtful and intelligent films in the futuristic science fiction genre." |
John R. McEwen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Miss Congeniality (2000) |
"Taking a potshot at the beauty pageant industry, Miss Congeniality is entertainment as light as a well-shaped hairdo, fitted out with skin-deep characterizations and a plot that has the all complexity of a G-string bikini." |

Monster (2003) |
"Theron’s attitude, her walk, her body language are totally different from anything she’s done before... [this is] an acting tour-de-force." |

Monsters, Inc. (2001) |

Mortal Kombat - Annihilation (1997) |

Mulan (1998) |
"A telling testimonial for this film is my 6-year-old's first exuberant utterance as the credits began rolling: 'Can we get the video?'" |
John R. McEwen |

Mulholland Dr. (2001) |
"...A dreamy, nightmarish, highly contemplative piece of celluloid that, while it will certainly not appeal to everyone, is just the kind of thing critics love: something different." |
