Tomato 2.5/4.0 |
Madagascar (2005) |
"... works for what it’s shooting for: a generally kid-friendly film that keeps everyone occupied for just under an hour and a half." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 2.5/4.0 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"Fans of the original will find plenty to love in the sequel (including 40% more covert penguin action)." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Major League 2 (1994) |
"Inexplicably outshines the original." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"... plays to the crowd and to fans of Diesel, but for everyone else looking for an engaging thriller about crime lords and revenge, at least it's better than 'Collateral Damage.'" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.0/4.0 |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"... if you’re reading this now, you can resist your brainwash programming for weak thrillers and go see The Bourne Supremacy instead." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"... crafted with a careful hand... repeat viewings may be necessary to take it all in (darn the luck, huh?) There's plenty of possibilities to ponder after the credits roll" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Matrix Revolutions (2003) |
"... for all the characters you met when you found out what the Matrix was, you'll want to see how their stories conclude." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Meatballs (1979) |
"... because all the GOOD looking girls are on THEIR side of the camp!" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.0/4.0 |
Meet the Spartans (2008) |
"What does it say about a film with an hour running time that has twenty minutes of outtakes after the credits to reach theatrical length? Very little that's positive." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Memoirs of an Invisible Man (1992) |
"Terribly underrated; watch immediately." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Men at Work (1990) |
"Golf clap!" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Men in Black II (2002) |
"... short, strained, and tired. Just be sure to tiptoe out when you leave the theater so you don't wake up Tommy Lee Jones." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 2.5/4.0 |
The Messengers (2007) |
"The worst part of this film is its advertising; don't let the studio's lack of faith in their own ghost story ruin a clever little thriller for you." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 2.0/4.0 |
Milk (2008) |
"Milk presents details about the title character and his relevance... but the presentation itself appears more intent on being a recruitment film than an actual biopic." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.5/4.0 |
Mindhunters (2005) |
"... promises a sophisticated “C.S.I.” meets Saw thriller, then shatters that illusion with four words: directed by Renny Harlin." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Minority Report (2002) |
"... director Steven Spielberg once again presents a glimpse of the future while Tom Cruise redeems himself along the way for 'Vanilla Sky'." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.5/4.0 |
Mission: Impossible III (2006) |
"... J.J. Abrams' writing and direction not only delivers the best of the IMF series but practically resets the potential longevity of the franchise back to 'start.'" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 1.5/4.0 |
Monster House (2006) |
"... too intense for children... too dull for adults... why wasn't this a LIVE feature film?" |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) |
"Not as wonderful as Kung Fu Panda, Monsters vs. Aliens is the next best thing that DreamWorks Animation has produced." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 0.5/4 |
The Mothman Prophecies (2002) |
"Whether Pellington or Gere is to blame for keeping the obvious potential of this weak thriller down, someone should be held responsible. Even the Mothman doesn't have to predict how well this film will do at the box office." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 2.0/4.0 |
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005) |
"... a conclusion that promises that we’ll have to endure a sequel whenever someone finally decides how the originally movie actually ended." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 2/4 |
Mr. Deeds (2002) |
"... nicely fills the void between special-effects blockbusters and predicatable thrillers while still being something you can send your kids to." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Splat 2/5 |
The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) |
"Rizzo the Rat needs his own movie. Michael Caine, on the other hand, doesn't." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3/4 |
My Big Fat Greek Wedding (2002) |
"Almost everyone growing up believes their family must look like "The Addams Family" to everyone looking in... "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" comes from the heart..." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3.0/4.0 |
My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009) |
"Sure, the 3-D thing is a gimmick, right along with the gratuitous violence and nudity, but the real surprise is that it's not a bad horror film, either." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
Tomato 3/5 |
My Stepmother Is An Alien (1988) |
"Not nearly as bad as advertised." |
Kevin A. Ranson |
