Ma Mere (2005) |
"The translation from the highly literary to the literalness of film isn't easy and too often, Ma Mère feels like a parody." |

The Machinist (2004) |
"Anderson's effort here isn't bad, but, as measured on the scary-intruder index, this is more of a front-porch flick. Movie over, it's not hard to shut the door on it." |

Mad Love (2001) |
"Nothing more or less than an outright bodice-ripper -- it should have ditched the artsy pretensions and revelled in the entertaining shallows." |
Rick Groen |

Mad Money (2008) |
"The pocketing of tired bills headed for the shredder, the producing of tired movies headed for the theatre -- it's all just recycling." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Madagascar (2005) |
"A wafer-thin yarn that might have done Sylvester and Tweety proud, but goes missing-in-action when stretched over 80-plus minutes." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"Surprise, surprise, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa is the rare sequel that is better than the original." |

Made in Jamaica (2006) |
"An affectionate if largely unsatisfying exploration of the musical genre's evolution." |
Jason McBride |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Made of Honor (2008) |
"Certainly ain't nothing to query about the tired premise, whose cinematic block we've been around and around and around since Garbo first talked." |
Rick Groen |

Madea's Family Reunion (2006) |
"Anyone curious about all the fuss surrounding Perry is advised to track down a DVD of one of his stage productions; Madea, his big mama, is not working on the big screen." |

The Madness of King George (1995) |
"Hawthorne is by turn outrageous and pathetic and imperious and poignant and very funny." |

The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"Angry and deliberately provocative, The Magdalene Sisters sets out to offend those who deserve it." |

The Magic Flute (2006) |
"The results are often fascinating (I love the duet of the Armed Men, sung by a chorus of faces animated out of a wall of sandbags), sometimes ludicrous and never boring." |

Magnolia (1999) |
"You don't have to like everything [Anderson] does, but if you enjoy seeing the walls rattled and the roof raised in the Hollywood citadel, you've got to love it." |

Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"These two are generating about as much chemistry as an Iraqi factory poised to receive a UN inspector." |
Rick Groen |

The Majestic (2001) |
"This 2½-hour celebration of small-town America, the magic of the movies and free speech is so broadly manipulative and simplistic, it risks giving all three of them a bad name." |

Mama's Boy (2007) |
"Matters quickly regress into an antic romantic comedy, potentially buoyed by a strong cast but soon thwarted by a screenplay as leaden as it is predictable." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Mambo Italiano (2003) |
"If the best comedies make you laugh and the worst make you angry, this is the middling and well-intentioned brand that makes you frustrated -- keenly looking for reasons to laugh but, more often than not, failing to find any." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"Taken for what it is -- a fluffy, intergenerational farce as a frame for some seventies musical nostalgia -- Mamma Mia! just gets away with it." |

"Man of the Year is a moderately funny little movie that isn't pointed enough to successfully skewer its political targets." |

Man on Fire (2004) |
"If your idea of a bargain is two bad movies for the price of one, then shell out for Man on Fire." |

Man on the Moon (1999) |
"Superficially clever yet profoundly shallow." |

Man on the Train (2003) |
"Man on the Train is a contemplative ride through a province that expands with age -- the sad-eyed land of might-have-been." |

Man On Wire (2008) |
"[Director] Marsh creates a transfixing documentary feature that doubles as a celebration of one man and an elegy to two buildings that are no more." |

The Man Who Cried (2001) |
"Potter eschews drama for posing, politics for postulating, and provides enough symbolic broad strokes to gag a magic realist." |

The Man Without a Past (2003) |
"[Kaurismaki's] a humanist bearing witness to the human parade. To be part of that parade is to be touched by his perspective, and to have your world altered -- magically, fleetingly, memorably." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Mana: Beyond Belief (2006) |
"Even if it is too brief to do more than touch on some very, very big questions, the film is an entertaining survey of the many ways we humans imprint the material world with our sincerest hopes and daffiest delusions." |
Jason Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
