M*A*S*H (1970) |
"I can only be grateful to whomever was the brilliant producer who saw the potential for one of the best-loved series within this mess of dullness and mean-spirited randomness." |

Tomato 4/5 |
MacBeth in Manhattan (1999) |
"Smart, funny, deserving of your time. Give it a shot." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Madagascar (2005) |
"Simple, silly, enjoyable; much better than their last 3 efforts. Mostly for kids, but with some pleasure for adults as well." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4 |
Made (2001) |
"Made really grows on you.It was horrifying at points (in a great way) to see the verbal shotgun being placed against the proverbial foot." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 1/5 |
Made of Honor (2008) |
"My only consolation was that I saw this alone and no one else had to suffer these indignities with me...a baseless romance yearning to force itself into existence." |
Karina Montgomery |

The Majestic (2001) |
"Underappreciated! Please read review." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) |
"I laughed during the whole movie...the trick to stupid comedy is earnestness - these guys have that out the wazoo." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"Moving and fun and scenic and ecstatic, and we cried too. I hope you take a chance take a take a chance chance on Mamma Mia even if you think you won't like it." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Man On Wire (2008) |
"I would have found it easier to get emotionally invested in Le Coup (rather than abstractly awed) if I had a better sense of his coup de foudre." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4 |
The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |
"This film is seamy, rimmed with cigarette smoke and shadows coursing with meaning. Go see it – it’s beautiful." |
Karina Montgomery |

The Man With Two Brains (1983) |
"Shamefully underwhelming" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"Fantastic cast, excellent updating of the original screenplay, and superb handling of mood make this a good movie. See Garden State first, though." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
March of the Penguins (2005) |
"Superficially it is a human-angled story, ultimately I was ornithopomorphized myself." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 2/5 |
Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"I really didn't like it at all. Catch it on HBO so you can see it uncensored if you want to see some acting outside a script and director's ability to render it unpalatable." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) |
"It's not a movie you will want to write home about, but it's deserving of your attention for its own incredibly minute detail and the shipwork." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Matador (2005) |
"It's quirky (everyone says so, but it's absolutely accurate) and chock full of real live heart and truth and human connection." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Match Point (2005) |
"There are few things more boring than a man enjoying the fruits of greater success than he himself has achieved in his passive, goal-free life, except watching that same man obsess over the obviously beautiful and unattainable Scarlett Johansson." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Matchstick Men (2003) |
"The acting and dialogue and story are all good, but somehow the whole thing feels really poky and tentative." |

The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"Cool, smart fun that lives up to its predecessor, with only a couple of slow spots." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Matrix Revolutions (2003) |
"Like all the Oracles throughout history advise, "Temet nosce" - well I know I don't want any more of this." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
Max (2002) |
"..A film that is entirely made up of foreshadowing, about this skinny, pale, portrait artist, before he would be the mad icon we think of him as today." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 1/5 |
Max Payne (2008) |
"The moment of the film when you should be going "oh my god I can't believe it," you're thinking, "I wonder if we could sneak into the end of Beverly Hills Chihuahua."" |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4/5 |
Me and Orson Welles (2009) |
"McKay's Welles is endowed by every other character with a panoply of larger-than-life qualities and he portrays them all without ever turning into a cartoon. His performance alone merits a viewing." |

The Medallion (2003) |
"Jackie Chan has finally jumped the shark - and he needed wires to do it." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 2/5 |
Meet the Fockers (2004) |
"Catch it on HBO for the sheer delight of everything Hoffman and Streisand do. It’s fun to meet the Fockers themselves, but the rest of the movie can stay home." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
Meeting Resistance (2007) |
"It offers no judgment, nor does it proffer a solution, but this slow-paced and vivid glimpse behind the veil is an achievement and an education." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5 |
Memento (2001) |
"This is one of the best movies I've seen in years. I haven't felt as exhilarated coming out of a movie since 1998." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) |
"The greatest achievement of author Golden and director Marshall is their delicate capturing of the viciousness of women among women." |

Men in Black II (2002) |
"If you have seen the preview, you have seen literally every funny moment." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) |
"Sometimes the movie cannot get past being merely smile-inducing, but it's a gently funny story of belief in one's inner potential and in the general goodness of most people. I may forget I ever saw it, but I had a pretty good time nonetheless." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato matinee |
The Mexican (2001) |
"It's a comedy, it's a slim drama, it's an adventure tale, with an amusingly presented Mexican legend inserted every once in a while." |

Michael Clayton (2007) |
""Man, I could be doing my laundry," I groused, as Clooney looked deep into the camera's eyes and gave me nothing." |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) |
"This Is It gives us enough to see that this concert series was going to be the kind of show you tell your grandkids about, full of incredible dancing and innovative staging and energetic wowness. The missing elements serve to feature the star who has fal" |

A Midsummer Night's Dream (1999) |
"Thank goodness I saw this with a drama teacher - I thought something wasn't quite right, but my friend assured me plenty of thematic content was removed." |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
A Mighty Wind (2003) |
"A Mighty Wind is simply sweet and believable, completely engaging, and well worth seeing." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5/5 |
Milk (2008) |
"He antagonized people, he galvanized people, and he mesmerized me even from beyond the grave thanks to Penn's and Van Sant's beautiful and inspiring work here." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Million Dollar Baby (2004) |
"Not a movie I would necessarily see again, saw twice, but while watching it, impossible to think about anything else." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 5/5 |
Minority Report (2002) |
"It's cool, but it's also good, in the way Oscar winning movies are good. Go see it." |
Karina Montgomery |
Splat 2/5 |
Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous (2005) |
"The things we loved most about #1 were downplayed in favor of the things that weren't all that funny; and a betrayal of the main character through most of it." |
Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008) |
"The story is so satisfying, the spectacle so enjoyable and the dialogue so delectable, I can't wait to see it again. Love it!" |

Karina Montgomery |
Tomato 2.5 |
Monkeybone (2001) |
"It's pretty funny. It's absurdist funny, not so much situational as just weird and cool and "yikes!" and surreal." |

Monster (2003) |
"I will be about 6 inches from the television screen come Oscar night screaming Charlize's name until she walks up onto that podium." |

Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) |
"This movie was comfortably middle of the road. While Dreamworks has frankly annoyed me to the point of almost-boycott, they can't forever turn out such drivel, right? Monsters Vs Aliens is not poo at all, it's not bad. It's not going to set the world o" |

Monsters, Inc. (2001) |
"The Pixar crew is so freakin’ creative I don’t know how they sleep at night without their heads exploding. Maybe they are issued special helmets." |

Moon (2009) |
"It's basically non-violent, yet at moments I felt a deep %u2013 not horror, exactly, more like dismayed awe %u2013 at what we are discovering with Sam. My companions and I left the theatre feeling very satisfied, and I hope you will as well. Moon feels" |
