Macbeth (2007) |
"Light touches are counterbalanced by some heavy-footed acting and a streak of leaden literal-mindedness." |

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"The visual invention and draughtsmanship are mightily impressive; a shame the drama's a bit of a bore." |
Anthony Quinn |
Splat 2/5 |
The Magic Flute (2006) |
"His flamboyant rendering of the Mozart opera isn't as smug and stagey as Sleuth, but it is insufferable – and 40 minutes longer." |

Make It Happen (2008) |
"Then you wait for the moment one of the regular girls gets injured, the hostess has to find a replacement and... the rest you know." |

The Man from London (2008) |
"It is almost an anti-mystery, our meagre clue to the protagonist's feelings of guilt legible in the contours of Krobot's mournful mid-European face: only Bruno Ganz, one feels, could out-gloom him." |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"Dramatically and visually, there's no relief to be had in this self-indulgent downer." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Mark of an Angel (2008) |
"In Mark Of An Angel the misdirection is sometimes subtle, sometimes not so, but director Safy Nebbou in the end deserves the benefit of the doubt for just about preserving credibility when the plot goes into a wild reverse skid." |

Max Manus (2008) |
"A tense drama of the deadly cat-and-mouse between the resistance and the Nazis." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 4/5 |
Me and Orson Welles (2009) |
"Christian McKay's performance in the title role measures up to that extraordinariness, both inhabiting Welles's magnetic, overweening personality and approximating a decent physical likeness." |

Meerkats (2008) |
"The narrative lags some way behind the beautiful nature photography and the comical majesty of the meerkat on guard, poking his head above a hidey-hole like a periscope over a parapet. These pictures don’t really need any words." |

The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) |
"Interesting title, promisingly quirky subject, top-drawer cast – such a duff movie." |

Tomato 3/5 |
The Merry Gentleman (2009) |
"Michael Keaton's directorial debut is a low-key character study which just about survives its odd shifts of tone." |
Anthony Quinn |
Tomato 4/5 |
Mesrine: Killer Instinct (2009) |
"There's an inevitable air of unfinished business hanging over this first instalment, though it moves at a tidy lick and conjures an atmosphere rank with Gauloises and greed." |

Michael Clayton (2007) |
"Expertly paced, tautly written and superbly cast, it may turn out to be the most auspicious debut of the year." |
Anthony Quinn |

Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) |
"The last song we're shown Jackson singing is "Man in the Mirror"; it's a shame the filmmakers did not take a cue from its lyrics to put together an uncompromising assessment of Jackson, rather than delivering another attempt to perpetuate the myth." |

"A Pearl in the rough." |

Milk (2008) |
"As a public figure Van Sant does him full justice; as a private individual, tormented by a needy Latino lover (Diego Luna) the film is much vaguer." |

Mishima - A Life in Four Chapters (1985) |
"The cerebral cool of Schrader's perspective sacrifices emotional connection to its subject." |

Miss March (2009) |
"This "comedy" might be the Worst Movie Ever Seen, even with the aftershock of the Wayans Bros' Dance Flick still lingering." |

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008) |
"It's lucky that Amy Adams and Frances McDormand lend their best charms to Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day, otherwise this featherweight Art Deco fancy might drift away like a soap bubble, and go 'pop!'" |

Mission: Impossible III (2006) |
"A step forward for the franchise: indeed, a step forward for the big-budget Hollywood action spectacular generally." |

Mister Foe (2008) |
"Accomplished as it is, the film has trouble marrying the separate halves of the story, the mystery of the mother's death and the weird courtship Hallam is pursuing." |
Anthony Quinn |

Moliere (2007) |
"It's impossible to avoid comparison with Shakespeare in Love, which similarly made out that many of the great man's plays were really disguised autobiography; but the earlier film had a lightness of touch and variety of tone missing from this one." |

Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) |
"Aficianadoes of 1950s monster movies should have a ball spotting all the references. All anyone else requires is a taste for good fun." |

Mr. Right (2009) |
"Despite efforts towards the end to import a little serious sentiment, much of the time it feels as though Mr Right is setting out deliberately to confirm every nasty stereotype about gay men." |
