Made (2001) |
"A good strong boxing buddy film, complete with light drama, it's own style of fumbling-thug comedy, and a sleeping right-hook of heart." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Majestic (2001) |
"Purposely painted with classic Hollywood movie form and color, this dramatically uneven production has its moments -- and they are not all Carrey's." |

Man on Fire (2004) |

The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |

Masai: The Rain Warriors (2006) |

The Mask (1994) |

Match Point (2005) |

" |

Matchstick Men (2003) |
"Though humorous and quirky at times, the film is lie-laden. And while it may be fun in an empty way to watch Cage, the film loses might whenever Rockwell is off screen." |

The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"Whether you get 20% or 100% of the intellectualizing, & even if there's no sense in fighting software with military hardware & Kung Fu; it's simply a marvel to watch." |

Max Keeble's Big Move (2001) |
"Amusing for adults (at least this one), a blast and a half for pre-puberty members of the family, Max Keeble is just good junior high fun." |

The Medallion (2003) |
"Jackie Chan (known for "real" stunts) on strings is almost forgivable given that he acquires "super powers," but the film noticeably lacks his original creative and comical touches." |

Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) |
"Ziyi is radiant, as real as the script allows -- just not Japanese. Sweetly shot overall, though a dismal mood dominates. Otherwise somewhat simple and soapy." |
