Ma Mere (2005) |
"It wallows in repellant imagery rather than enlightening us intellectually in any serious way, and it offers no real psychological insight into the characters." |

The Machinist (2004) |
"While it's hardly a great movie, thanks to Bale's remarkable performance it's a genuinely creepy and engrossing one." |

Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"Too scattershot an affair, offering surprisingly little depth in its coverage of either students or teachers." |
Frank Swietek |
Splat C |
Mad Love (2001) |
"A big, plush, overripe tale of misguided passion, a richly illustrated but grossly simplified and romanticized history lesson that plays like a period soap opera." |

Mad Money (2008) |
"Neither clever nor engaging enough to work as a celebration of either larcenous cunning or womanly feistiness." |

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"Looks marvelous--the animation really is superb--but it's not even up to the standard of the initial installment in any other significant respect." |

Made (2001) |
"A ragged, ramshackle mob comedy, but...consistently amusing
and, at times, quite hilarious." |

Made of Honor (2008) |
"In his TV incarnation Patrick Dempsey may be called McDreamy, but his new romantic comedy is more like a nightmare." |
Frank Swietek |

Made-Up (2004) |
"While a harmless enough diversion, proves to be a relatively feeble--and rather precious--little comedy-drama about aging and parenthood." |

The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"A story that, in its general outline, follows a fairly predictable path, but conveys enough specificity of time and place to give it greater punch than you might expect." |

The Majestic (2001) |
"A crock--well-intentioned and slickly made, to be sure, but a crock
nonetheless...unbelievably sappy." |

Major Dundee (1965) |
"This restored version demonstrates is that while it remains an uneven work, it has flashes of brilliance as well as a general air of competence, even elegance in storytelling." |

Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) |
"No more than a benign time-waster, not consistently funny enough to recommend, but the fact that it isn't the horror its trailers suggested is itself a relief." |

Man of the Year (2006) |
"A hybrid of so many parts that it would be unwieldy even if it were executed very well. But as it happens, it isn't." |

Man on Fire (2004) |
"Cruelly underwritten but wildly overproduced, this latest Hollywood example of the vigilante vengeance movie is...at once sensorily fatiguing and intellectually dispiriting." |

Tomato B |
Man on the Train (2003) |
"An elegant, amusing odd-couple divertissement...made not only tolerable but pleasurable by Leconte's austerely patrician style, Rochefort's roguish charm and Hallyday's deadpan authority." |

Man On Wire (2008) |
