Maborosi (1995) |
"Maborosi is a worthwhile movie experience not because it ventures into virgin territory, but because its presentation is so precise and unique." |

The Machinist (2004) |
"Although The Machinist may at times seem to be derivative of those films, and is inferior to them, it is nevertheless a harrowing experience for those to whom this sort of story appeals." |

Mad Dog and Glory (1993) |
"The tone is uneven, with the dark moments lacking a tanglible sense of danger and the uplifting scenes missing a much-needed lightheartedness." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"This is an amazing documentary achievement -- easily as good, if not better, than any recent 'feel good' fictional story that Hollywood has put on the screen." |

Mad Max (1979) |
"Overnight, Mad Max went from being a U.S. cult hero to a mainstream figure, and Mel Gibson's place in the firmament was secured." |

Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) |
"Miller never falls back on the formulas that have become the bane of too many recent action films, and his sustained cuts lend a clarity to the proceedings." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Mad Money (2008) |
"Mad Money is a comedy caper where the caper's not interesting and the comedy's not funny. Take away those elements and all that's left is a tepid female buddy movie and, like its male counterparts, we've had enough of those to choke a critic." |

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"One reason to lament the existence of Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is too bemoan the considerable amount of talent that was tied up developing this uninspired sequel when it could have been employed in the service of something fresh and new." |

The Magnificent Ambersons (1942) |
"Even with so many cuts reducing the final third to a frustrating mish-mash of disjointed segments, it retains the occasional power to mesmerize and amaze." |

Magnolia (1999) |
"Those who 'get' the film are in for something that ranks as more of a cinematic experience than a mere movie." |

Maid in Manhattan (2002) |

Major League 2 (1994) |

Mallrats (1995) |
"Despite a broad range of effective comedy and a decent laugh-per-minute ratio, Mallrats is likely to be a moderate disappointment for anyone who guffawed their way through the previous film." |

The Maltese Falcon (1941) |
"The Maltese Falcon is among the most important and influential movies to emerge from the Hollywood system -- as significant in some ways as its contemporary, Citizen Kane." |

Mambo Italiano (2003) |
"Mambo Italiano has its share of very funny moments, but they are trapped in a production whose drama is unsubtle, obvious, and at times downright insipid." |

Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"Mamma Mia! delivers exactly what one can reasonably expect from it. It's a faithful adaptation of the stage play of the same name but, more importantly, it's a repository for ABBA songs." |

Man of the Year (2006) |
"Man of the Year makes telling points and has a lot to say, but it loses its voice along with its consistency around the mid-way point, and that will likely make it an also-ran in the box office race." |

Man On Wire (2008) |
"A fascinating time capsule: a combination of talking-head interviews, actual footage, and re-creations that evokes a kinder, gentler world and provides insight into one of the most audacious stunts of the 20th century." |

The Man Who Cried (2001) |
