Machuca (2005) |
"Wood is content to pace his film with a methodic leisure that both suits his tone and stretches his story a bit thin." |

The Mack (1973) |
"Blaxploitation heaven." |

Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"Yet another example of a slight, TV-newsworthy story that jitterbugs its sweet little self into exhaustion on the big screen." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2/4 |
Mad Money (2008) |
"How about a little creativity, like maybe wadding up and flushing the bills down the toilet, to be picked up later in the sewer? The movie makes robbing the Fed look about as tough as finding an episode of Full House on TV." |

Mafioso (1962) |
"Director Alberto Lattuada's seriocomic 1962 look at the Sicilian mob lifestyle broke the omerta, providing a look at the sordidly fascinating life of the wiseguy." |

Mallrats (1995) |
"Of the 2,818 movies I've seen, never have I witnessed a greater comedic performance than that of Jason Lee in Mallrats, and I doubt I ever will." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Mambo Italiano (2003) |
"Mama treats her son like a baby, even though he's almost 30! Angelo's family is gossipy! Straights don't understand gay culture! Da-DUM. Sheesh." |
Phil Villarreal |
Splat 2.5/4 |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"It's a good thing director F. Gary Gray signed Diesel, the film's one marketable star. Otherwise, this mess would have gone direct-to-video." |

Man On Wire (2008) |
"As cops waited to arrest him, he laughed, kneeled, laid down on the wire and spoke with a seagull. Wonder if its name was Jonathan Livingston?" |

Manderlay (2006) |
"Shocking usage of racial epithets and images of 20th-century slavery do their part to mess with your head. Von Trier is an intelligent and capable filmmaker, and he presents some fascinating thoughts and questions in his bitter, accusatory satire. Problem" |
Phil Villarreal |

Manhood (2003) |
"The film doesn't preach; it asks questions. Then it mourns that there appear to be no correct answers.
