Tomato 5/5 |
The Machinist (2004) |
"[Bale's] is a great performance, full of commitment and sacrifice, and The Machinist is one of the year's best films." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"The kids are adorable, and so is the movie." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Mad Love (2001) |
"Forget the Psychology 101 study of romantic obsession and just watch the procession of costumes in castles and this won't seem like such a bore." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Mad Money (2008) |
"It's just a lot more sane and tame than its 'mad' title would have you believe." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Madagascar (2005) |
"Take the kids. Find a globe. Do some teaching." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"The animation shows glossy improvement from the original Madagascar, with nature and the neo-natural animals even more detailed than ever. But the knock on Dreamworks' animation style -- that it's entirely too talky -- rings true here." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Made (2001) |
"The stars are hilarious and the supporting cast is perfectly in tune with the spirit of their comedy." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Made of Honor (2008) |
"Made of Honor earns enough goodwill in a long, clever and sexy opening act to carry it through to an ending that we don't necessarily guess because it seems to lack enough of that last word in the title: 'honor.'" |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Maestro (2005) |
"Most of the screen-time is taken up with people remembering how 'amazing' this event, that place or that person was, debating who was 'the first.' But there's precious little here by way of demonstration." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"The Magdalene Sisters has the force of an alarm being sounded." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"If you think that Jennifer Lopez has shown poor judgment in planning to marry Ben Affleck, wait till you see Maid in Manhattan." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat |
The Majestic (2001) |
"Two hours of tedium followed by an additional 30 minutes of preaching." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Maldeamores (2007) |
"The film's charming look at island life away from the tourist beaches makes it more than the sum of its laughs." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Maléna (2000) |
"Its heart is in the right place." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 1/5 |
Mama's Boy (2007) |
"When the writer's this far off, the actors and the audience pay the price." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"It gets by on the featherweight golden oldies of ABBA, and the treat of seeing and hearing some golden oldies of the cinema break character and belt out a song." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Man (2005) |
"The chattering salesman and the curse-crazy cop never click, but they have their moments." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"Try remaking the classic drugs-and-cops thriller 'The French Connection' without the style, without the electric chase scenes or the witty cat-and-mouse game. Without the French. Without Gene Hackman. What you'd get might look like 'A Man Apart.'" |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Man from Elysian Fields (2002) |
"The direction, by George Hickenlooper, has no snap to it, no wiseacre crackle or hard-bitten cynicism." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Man of the House (2005) |
"Despite having a comeptent director, it's a slap-dash thing, with Cedric not really fitting into the main story." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Man of the Year (2006) |
"It's a nearly tone-deaf satire of American politics and the culture of celebrity, a comedy without enough laughs, a satire without enough bite." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Man on Fire (2004) |
"You'd have to call Man on Fire a mess, but at least it's an interesting mess." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato |
Man on the Moon (1999) |
"What the filmmakers have accomplished here is the simplest and best thing they possibly could have done. For two hours, they have brought Andy back to us just as we remember him -- brilliant, provocative and, yes, very funny." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 5/5 |
Man on the Train (2003) |
"Each actor comes to perfectly embody his character." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Man On Wire (2008) |
"James Marsh tells Petit's story, the most inspiring 'heist' in modern history, a Frenchman's stroll between two 110 story buildings in lower Manhattan." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |
"If the drabness doesn't get you, the deliberately glacial pacing will." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Man Without a Past (2003) |
"Kaurismaki's movies can tickle you with the briefest of statements, the smallest of gestures." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"Given a story with meat and purpose and importance, Demme delivers a masterfully cast and smartly constructed film of devastating effectiveness." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
March of the Penguins (2005) |
"Yes, this is nature anthropomorphized. But after seeing this touching and beautiful film, you might not be so quick to dismiss that 'They're a lot like us' point of view." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Mardi Gras: Made in China (2005) |
"Every time you lift your shirt, some Chinese girl is reaching her twisted, aching hand for another Band-Aid." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"There isn't a pleasant, wholly likable character in the cast. But you can't avert your eyes from it." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Maria Full of Grace (2004) |
"Marston's compact, personal film doesn't judge his Maria, it merely observes her, explains her and humanizes a dark corner of a dirty business." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 2/5 |
Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"This is just a lark, a heavy-handed one without the heart of even the bad histories which gave us a Marie who said (as she never did) Let them eat cake." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School (2006) |
"Miller has all but smothered the charm right out of his Charm School." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Marley & Me (2008) |
"The book has been known to make grown men weep. But seeing the movie, you can't help but feel had." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Married Life (2008) |
"It's as dry as the martinis these well-dressed stiffs keep ordering at that perfectly preserved oak, leather and velvet bar before hopping into their vintage convertibles." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Martian Child (2007) |
"[Cusack] just can't seem to conjure up a reservoir of emotions to make Martian Child human." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Masked and Anonymous (2003) |
"Far from the greatest story ever told." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato |
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) |
"A thrilling, sweeping, visually stunning Napoleonic War adventure set on the high seas." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Master of Disguise (2002) |
"No amount of nostalgia for Carvey's glory days can disguise the fact that the new film is a lame kiddie flick and that Carvey's considerable talents are wasted in it." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
The Matador (2005) |
"... a dark comedy that is missing the laughs to be funny and the darkness to be, well, dark." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Match Point (2005) |
"Match Point is airless, repetitive." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Matchstick Men (2003) |
"The writing is generally smart, and the connection between Cage and Lohman feels genuine.
But the movie is as empty as a telemarketer's pitch." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"Dark, with jaw-dropping effects, stunning action beats and a chase to end all chases, The Matrix Reloaded is a movie-going dare." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Matrix Revolutions (2003) |
"Wallows in interminable, poorly lit, barely coherent sequences of people in machines fighting other machines." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Max (2002) |
"The best thing about Max is its originality." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat |
Max Keeble's Big Move (2001) |
"A very long sit for an adult." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Max Payne (2008) |
"As good as a couple of its action beats are, Max still suffers from the heartlessness that makes games emotionally inferior to movies. Nobody ever shed a tear over a video-game character's death." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Mayor of the Sunset Strip (2003) |
"Captures Bingenheimer in all his celeb-fondling glory. But it's a forlorn sight, one the film doesn't turn away from as it arcs from giddy inclusion to lonely pathos." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
McLibel (2005) |
"You can't help but take a little pleasure in watching jerk lawyers -- and an arrogant mega-corporation, with money and laws and seemingly the judge too on its side -- lose in every way imaginable." |
Roger Moore |
