"Jamie Kennedy needs to be stopped." |

Tomato 3.0/5 |
Malos Habitos (2007) |
"In Bad Habits (Malos Habitos), a reporter on TV says, "Mexico is drowning." It rains relentlessly throughout the film, creating a mood of gloom and helplessness. The characters are also drowning, emotionally and psychologically, in this vivi" |
Tony Macklin |
Splat 1/5 |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"A Man Apart is grim, lifeless and, worst of all, as boring as Steven Seagal talking about Buddhism." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3/5 |
A Man Named Pearl (2008) |
"A heartwarming but superficial documentary that's saved from hagiography primarily by the humility and charm of its subject." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Man on the Train (2003) |
"It's nice to see a film about the regrets of old age that doesn't resort to Grumpy Old Men-style humor or cheap action sequences." |

"As uncomfortable an experience as the film often is, it's never less than fascinating." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"But in order to enjoy the movie, you have to accept the fact that it's a gauzy, pop-morose mood piece, not a character study or history lesson." |

Mary (2008) |
"Ferrara presents his ideas in what's meant to be a meditation on the nature of faith but ends up an incoherent, pretentious mess." |

Match Point (2005) |

Matchstick Men (2003) |
"Even if everything doesn't quite add up at the end, it's OK, since you've just had such a fabulous time being bamboozled by some of the best." |

The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"A smart and entertaining film that, if it doesn't work the same magic as its predecessor, still makes us believe in the power of choice to change the world." |
Josh Bell |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Matrix Revolutions (2003) |

Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005) |
"The dialogue is so contrived, the characters so self-consciously quirky that Me and You often feels like a parody of an indie movie." |
Josh Bell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Mean Creek (2004) |
"Mean Creek functions well as both a tidy little thriller and a touching coming-of-age story, and that's more than teens usually get these days." |
