The Machinist (2004) |
"It's an overly calculated, schematic graph of a script that eliminates the things we go to the movies to experience: interesting characters, a story we can relate to, an emotional release." |
Steve Murray |
Tomato B |
Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"Clearly, the dance lessons are life lessons as well, nurturing self-confidence, team spirit, the joy of dancing and even a slight touch of Old World etiquette in an otherwise too-busy- to-be-courteous world." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
Madagascar (2005) |
"Like Looney Tunes, there's cartoon craziness for the kids and knowing, 'wink-wink' humor to keep the grown-ups giggling and guessing at the film allusions that fill the clever script." |
Melinda Ennis |
Splat C+ |
Made (2001) |
"With both movies and TV constantly mining mob life for script fodder, Made never comes up with a new twist on the material." |
Steve Murray |
Tomato B |
Madea's Family Reunion (2006) |
"No question, Tyler Perry knows what he's doing, and he's doing it better with each movie." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato A- |
Madison (2005) |
"Hilarious, thrilling, toon-like martial arts flick that's an absolute joy to watch." |
Bob Longino |
Tomato A- |
Mafioso (1962) |
"The film ripens in an unanticipated way, nimbly shifting from near farce to something quite a bit darker." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B+ |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"Definitely one-sided, but still very powerful." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato |
Magnolia (1999) |
"Unlike the flashy but hollow Boogie Nights or the studied tough-guy attitude of Hard Eight, Magnolia grounds its stylistic pyrotechnics with genuine emotion." |

Major Dundee (1965) |
"It's one of those flawed, fascinating films that are somehow more intriguing than many a smooth-cheeked blockbuster." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato A- |
Maléna (2000) |
"Makes something wistful, enduring and even optimistic out of humanity's basest instincts." |

The Man (2005) |
"Characters are pretty much composites of their previous roles. Think Jackson's Pulp Fiction Jules getting all Ezekiel 25:17 on Levy's American Pie dad." |
Bob Townsend |
Tomato B- |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"Old-school action flick with a heart -- and better than all the Chuck Norris movies combined." |
Bob Longino |
Splat C |
Man of the Year (2006) |
"The new Robin Williams comedy Man of the Year is the sort of thing you almost feel sorry for." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
Man on Fire (2004) |
"Think of it: Walken and Rourke in the same movie. That alone is worth the price of a ticket." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat |
Man on the Moon (1999) |
"Enormously underwritten and unfunny." |
Hap Erstein |
Tomato B+ |
Man on the Train (2003) |
"No one mixes graceful melancholy and bittersweet comedy better than Leconte." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
The Man Without a Past (2003) |
"A compassionate and darkly funny shaggy-dog story." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat D+ |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"Angela Lansbury was right. A remake of John Frankenheimer's brilliant 1962 thriller, The Manchurian Candidate, is a lousy idea." |

Manderlay (2006) |
"Von Trier may not be completely right, but he certainly isn't all wrong." |
Bob Longino |
Splat |
Mansfield Park (1999) |
"This Mansfield Park becomes a kind of romanticized gloss -- an imaginative grad-student thesis that melds author and character." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato A- |
March of the Penguins (2005) |
"March of the Penguins is an astonishing and irresistible documentary set in the frozen no-man's-land of Antarctica." |

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) |
"Masterful and commanding." |

The Master of Disguise (2002) |
"Boiled down to its essence, this is little more than a cheesy vehicle for Carvey's one-shot gags, and an inconsistent one at that." |
Scott Steinberg |

The Matador (2005) |
"A colorful, freewheeling tale that never gets beneath its darkly comic surface." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato A- |
Match Point (2005) |
"Match Point is Woody Allen's best picture in more than a decade -- an excellent character piece/social study that evolves into a suspense thriller with an O. Henry twist." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B |
Matchstick Men (2003) |
"[Matchstick Men] is what you get when a bunch of talented pros get together to make a movie without worrying about Oscar nominations, career moves and 10-Best lists. They're just having fun, and chances are, you will, too." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato B- |
The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"Plug in. Again. But be prepared for some glitches in the software." |
Steve Murray |
Splat C |
The Matrix Revolutions (2003) |
"The end has come for Neo, Trinity, Morpheus and all the other unplugged people fighting machine domination in The Matrix Revolutions. The sad thing is, they go out more with a whimper than a bang." |

Me, Myself & Irene (2000) |

Mean Creek (2004) |

Melinda Ennis |
Tomato B- |
Mean Girls (2004) |
"Lohan, who intrepidly filled Hayley Mills' sneakers in the remake of The Parent Trap and butted heads with Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday, has grown into an accomplished and beautiful actress." |

Tomato B+ |
Meet the Robinsons (2007) |
"Like many worthwhile movies, this one's about the longings of the heart, and the happiness that comes when those longings are fulfilled. The 3-D and singing frogs are extra. Wo, wo, wo." |
Phil Kloer |
Tomato B- |
Melinda and Melinda (2005) |
"It's middle-rung Woody, but compared to such dismal efforts as "Hollywood Ending" and "Anything Else," the movie is a godsend." |
