Macbeth (2007) |
"There are good performances, smart direction and dark-hued photography that's impressive. But it would be surprising if this Macbeth were to bring people back to Shakespeare proper, as it intends." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Mad, Sad and Bad (2009) |
"Mad, Sad & Bad, it must be said, is not made with any great flair. But Luthra extracts good performances from his cast and his writing gives them something to do once the story gets going." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"Stiller has an ear for mainstream projects that keep a few steps ahead of the crowd, like Meet the Parents and Tropic Thunder. Escape 2 Africa is tame by comparison but it never treats us like dumb animals." |
Charlotte O'Sullivan |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Magic Flute (2006) |
"A week is a long time in cinema. Last Friday saw Branagh being all but written off thanks to the ludicrous Sleuth. This week, he's hitting the high notes." |

The Man from London (2008) |
"As uncompromising as all his work and, though beautifully and often breathtakingly shot by fellow director Fred Keleman, is definitely not for the faint-hearted." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Man of the Year (2006) |
"Too compromised to be more than a reasonably pleasurable entertainment, as if it is scared about what it is saying about the American political process." |

Man On Wire (2008) |
"Marsh presents Petit as a kind of acrobatic Werner Herzog, talented, eccentric and perhaps slightly crazy." |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"Doesn't quite measure up to its predecessor but it is still an often painfully accurate study of fractured family relationships." |
Derek Malcolm |
Splat 2/5 |
Marigold (2007) |
"Carroll seems to be saying that we should regard Bollywood as a harmless part of Indian culture." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Mark of an Angel (2008) |
"Films like this - taut, expertly paced - are invariably dubbed Hitchcockian." |
Charlotte O'Sullivan |
Splat 2/5 |
Married Life (2008) |
"It’s a good cast, with Cooper outstanding, but Sachs’s direction is stodgy and the screenplay is grindingly self-conscious." |

Mascarades |
"A whimsically charming comedy." |

Max Payne (2008) |
"If you can follow the plotlines of this swingeing approximation of the well-known video game of the same name, you are a better customer for John Moore’s spectacular thriller than I was." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971) |
"Altman's capacity for fashioning an oddball romance without defeating the tough political implications of the story make this one of the greatest of all westerns and a key work in American cinema." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Me and Orson Welles (2009) |
"Comedy is never any good when it simply goes for laughs — and Linklater and his company have managed something of serious intent very well." |

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) |
"While I’m sure that truth is indeed even stranger than this fiction, there is little here to drum that fact home with conviction. Dr Strangelove it is not, by a very long way." |

The Merry Gentleman (2009) |
"We are never quite sure whether this is a thriller or a dark romance, but Keaton conjures up some excellent scenes and allows Macdonald the chance to shine." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Mesrine: Killer Instinct (2009) |
"It remains totally watchable and, in Cassel, it has an actor as strong as anyone." |

Mesrine: Part 2 - Public Enemy #1 (2009) |

Michael Clayton (2007) |
"Clooney has seldom been better as Clayton, a man beginning to feel that his skill is not exactly being put to good uses." |

Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) |
"It might have been far greater than this curious collection of half-baked moments suggests. We’ll still never really know." |
David Smyth |
Tomato 3/5 |
A Mighty Heart (2007) |
"Aside from casting Jolie, the bravest decision was to shoot largely in Karachi. The risk pays dividends with highly evocative location work that allows you almost to the smell that crowded city and feel the chaos." |

Milk (2008) |
"As biopics go, this portrait of gay activist Harvey Milk isn’t quite up there with, say, Raging Bull. Still, it is smart, sexy and very funny." |

Mirrors (2008) |
"Te story is efficient but strangely uninvolving and not nearly as scary as the Korean version." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 4/5 |
Mishima - A Life in Four Chapters (1985) |
"Paul Schrader’s 1985 biopic necessarily guts his controversial life — but the visual style is superb." |
Derek Malcolm |

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008) |
"McDormand is left trying for emotional depth in a sea of middling farce and semi-sophisticated comedy." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Mister Foe (2008) |
"Somehow the whole works surprisingly well, whether or not you end up thinking that it might have been still better left on the page." |
Derek Malcolm |
Tomato 3/5 |
Moliere (2007) |
"A bit curate's eggy, sometimes funny and always goodlooking, but neither a particularly good tribute to a great playwright nor a comedy with much weight behind it." |
