Madagascar (2005) |
"The character design is ugly; the main characters are often annoying; the humor is generally weak; and the computer-generated animation is often soulless." |

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"The penguins steal the show, providing all the real highlights." |

Splat |
Madhouse (1974) |
"A weak genre effort, Madhouse makes little if any effort to transcend the horror label, instead offering up familiar elements for the benefit of undemanding viewers. Nevertheless, it is amusing for [Vincent] Price fans." |

The Man and the Monster (1958) |
"Fine technical craftsmanship and solid performances fight a losing battle with rampant stupidity in this entertaining Mexican horror film, which is alternately atmospheric and silly." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959) |
"A great movie and a must for British horror fans." |
Lucius Gore |
Splat |
Marebito (2004) |
"It is far from a completely successful experiment, but it does create something with a unique enough identity to be worth exploring." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Splat 2/4 |
Martyrs (2008) |
"'Martyrs' is initially shocking and strong, but eventually falls apart once we are informed about what the hell is going on." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato |
The Masque of the Red Death (1964) |
"[Producer-director Roger] Corman does the best work of his career, aided by the wonderful cinematography of Nicolas Roeg." |

Tomato |
Me, Myself & Irene (2000) |
"I`m amazed at the amount of hilarious material stockpiled within this film." |

Splat |
Meet Dave (2008) |
"Like an awkward party guest who hopes you will be charmed by his earnest effort to overcome his lack of social graces, and just when you're on the verge ... he belches loudly and rudely - and expects you to think he's both cute and funny." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
Men In Black (1997) |
"Ultimately, this film isn't quite as screamingly funny as its coming attractions trailer suggested, but it is an amiable enough piece of entertainment." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Splat |
Men in Black II (2002) |
"...falls prey to the syndrome that affects many sequels: the apparently irresistible desire to replicate the formula from the first film." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Splat |
The Messengers (2007) |
"There are flashes of good imagery in The Messengers, but [they] work better in the trailer, unencumbered by the dreary plot." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Midnight Meat Train (2008) |
"This is the best Clive Barker-inspired movie in a long, long time -- probably since "Hellraiser III" in 1992." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 3/4 |
Midnight Movie (2008) |
"... all in all, horror fans will find that the film delivers the goods. Just don't set your expectations too high." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato 3/4 |
Mirrors (2008) |
"Alexandre Aja proves once again that he is the best horror movie maker working today." |
Lucius Gore |
Splat |
Mirrors (2008) |
"Aja...apparently thinks that metaphysical speculation is for wimps; his audience wants red meat, and he's going to give it them, no matter how inappropriate it is." |

Mission to Mars (2000) |
"The mystery and the fun fizzle and die." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Mother of Tears (2008) |
"No, this film doesn't make a ton of sense but it is highly entertaining. An insane, delirious bloodbath." |
Lucius Gore |
Tomato |
Mother of Tears (2008) |
"... the concluding chapter of Argento's "Three Mothers" trilogy dispenses with the overt stylization of its predecessors ... in favor of a sobering dose of realism." |

Mother of Tears (2008) |
"... when you have a beautiful witch you don't want to cover her magnificent body. Then you are naked, because Truth is naked, no?" |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
Mothra Vs.Godzilla (1964) |
"Only occasional penny pinching (fewer composite shots and elaborate miniatures) and a handful of minor gaffs mar this colorful, elaborate fantasy film, which is thoroughly enjoyable for fans and children, and might even impress a few non-fans." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Splat |
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007) |
"For all its computer-generated effects and colorful sight gags, Magorium is a dreadfully prosaic movie, lacking charm and grace." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
Mulberry Street (2007) |
"The dingy lighting and shaky camera work, combined with a solid script and convincing performances, create an almost documentary feel that lures the audience into the dark situation." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato |
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) |
"Although the formula remains much the same tanna leave concoction as before, there are a indeed few new wrinkles on the dessicated old corpse, just enough to make this pleasant popcorn movie for viewers seeking action and adventure." |
Steve Biodrowski |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) |
"... the best slasher movie in years" |

My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) |
"I am no fan of slasher films, and I came to this with no expectations - who needs another remake? - but it won me over in spite of myself." |

My Name is Bruce (2008) |
"Bruce Campbell on Playing Bruce Campbell in My Name is Bruce" |

Tomato |
The Mysterians (1959) |
"A colorful, reasonably energetic thriller, with some sincere but slightly preachy speeches about the nations of the world learning to put aside its H-bomb arsenal and band together for the common good." |
