Macbeth (2007) |
"FAST-paced and flashy, this contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s bloodiest play catches the eye but never engages the heart like it should." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"This crackingly entertaining sequel is great fun, blending beautiful animation with genuinely funny jokes. In truth it tries to pack in a sub-plot too far, but what the heck - this is great entertainment." |

Man On Wire (2008) |
"Gripping stuff, for sure, but you may fall asleep waiting for that big walk, while the juicy stuff – a fall-out between Petit and his co-conspirators – is glossed over at the end." |

Management (2009) |
"Doing nothing to disprove the so-called Curse Of Friends is haphazard rom-com Management." |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"A big-name cast including Nicole Kidman, Jack Black and Jennifer Jason Leigh wrestles with a storyline containing industrial-sized quantities of misery and a plot that leaves too many loose ends hanging." |

Married Life (2008) |
"A noirish 1940s-set character study, it’s an initially intriguing tale of infidelity and betrayal that smoulders, but never quite catches fire." |

Match Point (2005) |
"Oh, Woody. Oh Woody, Woody, Woody. What were you thinking? Or, being brutal, were you thinking at all?" |

The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"SNEAK REVIEW: If you're looking for a deep, meaningful cinematic experience then The Matrix Reloaded is not for you. But if it's a non-stop rollercoaster ride you're after, then this movie is light years ahead of anything that's gone before." |
Jackie Winter |
Splat 1/5 |
Max Payne (2008) |
"No high-octane, fast-paced shoot ’em up this, Max Payne may well be the most tedious trip to a cinema you make all year. Truly, the minutes pass like hours. It’s akin to one of those straight-to-DVD titles you only ever find in petrol stations." |

Me and Orson Welles (2009) |
"It's so dull. While some actors have praised the movie for its accurate portrayal of backstage life, if you haven't trodden the boards it's much harder to get caught up in the A-to-B dramas facing the troupe, or Richard and Sonja's affair." |

Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus (2009) |
"Like a feud between Dannii Minogue and Cheryl Cole, you don't care who wins, but it's fun to watch. Alas, the preceding 80 minutes aren't. Great title, lousy film." |

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) |

Mesrine: Killer Instinct (2009) |
"A violent, egocentric but nonetheless fascinating character, it's a film to watch in horrified fascination." |

Tomato 3/5 |
Miami Vice (2006) |
"A highly-influential TV show winds up as a decent but flawed movie and the hunt for a truly great 2006 summer blockbuster continues." |

Michael Clayton (2007) |
"There’s a great George Clooney film in here somewhere, but you have to look mighty hard to find it." |

Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) |
"As an exercise in wringing every last penny from Jackson's legacy, the movie may be a success. But if you're looking for a tribute to the man who once took pop to its absolute zenith, this most certainly isn't it." |

Mirrors (2008) |

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008) |
"Making a film usually involves a script, a director and a budget. Miss Pettigrew, on the other hand, is so unbelievably frothy, it looks as if it was prepared using merely a bucket of warm water and some soap flakes." |

Mister Foe (2008) |
"Bell shines as the baleful yet sympathetic Hallam, but there’s little else to get excited about, with the eventual love affair between him and Kate deeply improbable." |

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) |

Mutant Chronicles (2009) |

My Sister's Keeper (2009) |
