The Machinist (2004) |
"A product of precision engineering, a compact model of bare-bones efficiency." |
Tim Hansen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"The most heartbreaking, life-affirming, joyous and real film experience of the summer." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
Mad Love (2001) |
"Less a study in madness or love than a study in schoolgirl obsession." |
Jackie Loohauis |
Splat 2/4 |
Mad Money (2008) |
"This is another American remake of a European original that loses something in translation, in a story that never offers any real sense of tension or doubt about how it'll all end up." |
Mack Bates |
Tomato 3/4 |
Madagascar (2005) |
"Madagascar doesn't do much to advance the medium, but at least it is smarter than the average penguin." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
Made of Honor (2008) |
"The movie, like its stars, is not without its charm. It just would have been nice to be delighted by an unexpected flash of humor or feel the slightest bit of suspense about the resolution." |
Cathy Jakicic |
Tomato 3/4 |
Mafioso (1962) |
"A gentle Italian comedy from 1962 that takes a sobering, chilling turn that would make Michael Corleone proud." |
Michele Kenner |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"The outrage of actor-turned- writer-director Peter Mullan is palpable, and every frame of this shocking and occasionally exploitative film is designed to ensure that this reaction is contagious." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato |
Magnolia (1999) |
"Cruise has the juiciest role and gives the showiest performance." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"It's harmless, diverting fluff. But it's hard to imagine a more generic effort in the genre." |
Paul Doro |
Tomato |
The Majestic (2001) |
"Rarely has a film that's not all that original been so doggedly enjoyable and surprisingly endearing." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 1/4 |
Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) |
"Yet another example of rushing a movie into theaters before the filmmakers really think things through." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Mambo Italiano (2003) |
"It's the balance of ethnic humor, melodrama and simple charms that make Mambo Italiano, while not something too special, a solid choice for those who enjoy Greek Wedding and its other recent spinoffs." |
Nick Carter |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"Camp, bawdy and with a perky innocence, it is Sex and the City meets High School Musical." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Man (2005) |
"It's Levy and his chemistry with Jackson that keeps The Man from being ho-hum." |
Sue Pierman |
Splat 2/4 |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"This plot has holes in it you could drive a Hummer through." |
Jackie Loohauis |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Man from Elysian Fields (2002) |
"If you can look past the leaps in logic and take it in as a morality tale about the consequences of unprincipled affections, then Elysian Fields can offer its share of blissful moments." |
Nick Carter |

Man of the Year (1996) |

Splat 2/4 |
Man of the Year (2006) |
"Man of the Year is merely a Robin Williams stand-up routine wrapped in a limp script." |
Meg Jones |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Man on Fire (2004) |
"While Washington has a sullen physicality, he is just too good and too smart of an actor to be credible as a character that is a bit more up Vin Diesel's alley." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato |
Man on the Moon (1999) |
"Entertaining." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Man on the Train (2003) |
"The performances are subtle and haunting." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Man On Wire (2008) |
"Petit is such an ebullient guy it's hard not to get sucked into his high-wire antics." |
Meg Jones |
Tomato |
The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |
"Who knew Billy Bob Thornton was such a good-looking guy? Besides Angelina Jolie?" |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Man Without a Past (2003) |
"While others labor in the digital vineyard, Kaurismaki forges modern antiques out of unfashionable materials that, like a jukebox from a junkyard, are still in working order." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"A funny, creepy, cynical, lurid and strident potboiler whose surreal premise feeds on our depressingly all-too-familiar world." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
March of the Penguins (2005) |
"A triumph of pure instinct and sheer poetry." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"Margot is all mood swings and cries for help that everyone can hear except the person making them. It is Squid sapped of empathy and desperate for love." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Maria Full of Grace (2004) |
"Sensitive and lucid portrayal of innocence lost and dignity reclaimed." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"Too bad it signifies nothing. Marie Antoinette is a languorously detailed period piece, partly filmed at the palace in Versailles, that is almost pornographically obsessed with fashion, jewelry and desserts." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
Marley & Me (2008) |
"There are no bad dogs. But there are bad dog movies." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Marooned in Iraq (2003) |
"A sorrowful road comedy set in a place where hardship and humor are brothers in arms." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Married Life (2008) |
"It is a nicely executed, skillfully acted and atmospheric exercise in genre stage craft, but so dry and low-key that it is never really involving." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Martian Child (2007) |
"John Cusack, Coleman and the rest of the talented crew on screen reach moments of authenticity that are thrilling." |
Mary-Liz Shaw |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat (2002) |
"Instead of letting the laughs come as they may, Lawrence unleashes his trademark misogyny -- er, comedy -- like a human volcano or an overflowing septic tank, take your pick." |
Mack Bates |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Masked and Anonymous (2003) |
"How much you end up liking the film probably relates to how much you sympathize with Dylan or Dylan-like characters." |
Nick Carter |
Tomato 3/4 |
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) |
"Some of the most stunning water work in recent years." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Master of Disguise (2002) |
"The Master of Disguise may have made a great Saturday Night Live sketch, but a great movie it is not." |
Paul Doro |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Matador (2005) |
"Though violent and funny, and often both at the same time, the film by writer-director Richard Shepard is also a subtle and slightly skewed inversion of Brosnan's suave image." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Match Point (2005) |
"While thematically stark, Match Point is as aesthetically lush as just-ripened forbidden fruit, with Scarlett Johansson as the seductive object of desire personified." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Matchstick Men (2003) |
"What the film lacks in plot and detailed story development it makes up for in glib dialogue and the characters' self-reflection." |
Nick Carter |
Tomato |
The Matrix (1999) |
"Not only is the film elaborately plotted, it's ingeniously realized!" |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"This is probably the film that devotees had hoped for, but it will certainly flummox bystanders sucked into the multiplex by the hype." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Matrix Revolutions (2003) |
"A satisfying if not totally comprehensible conclusion." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005) |
"A film brimming with unexpected moments, bristling with creative energy and filled with humanity and compassion." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Mean Creek (2004) |
"While other teen films cling to the sappy and saccharine, first-time writer-director Jacob Aaron Estes' movie has a taut, haunting story that is actually relevant." |
Andrew Green |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Mean Girls (2004) |
"This is definitely a cut above the rest of the growing teen-girl subgenre." |
Sue Pierman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Medallion (2003) |
"This summer's Master of Disguise." |
Paul Doro |

Meet Dave (2008) |
