[movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Machinist (2004)      "[A] powerful evocation of guilt, anxiety, and incipient insanity..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       --      Mad City (1997)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Mad Money (2008)      "[W]orks... as bright, cheery, satisfying fantasy, if a mere trifle of a passing fancy. And it works, too, as a celebration of female don't-ignore-us indignation..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Madagascar (2005)      "[I]mmensely witty and deeply poignant, a fiercely humanistic [story] that, for all that it’s ostensibly about animals, is really about us..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)      "[S]o gorgeous... that it took me a while to realize that the heart and the soul of the first Madagascar, the aspect that made it so special, is missing here..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Made (2001)      "Avoids any kind of crime-movie cliche, mining new comedy from its unique characters and their impossibly low standing in the mob." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Made of Honor (2008)      "What had been a charming if undaring story about two friends who might be able to fall in love stops trusting itself -- and stops trusting the audience to stick with it without being dragged along by the nostrils." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Made-Up (2004)      "Mockumentaries aren’t hard to come by, of course, but none of them have ever turned back on themselves like this one does." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       3/10      Mafia! (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       9/10      Magnolia (1999)      "Groundbreaking innovations in how filmed stories are told." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Maid in Manhattan (2002)      "This is the stuff of bread and circuses, a feel-good movie to surprise no one and yet give all us working-class saps a sliver of hope." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Mail Order Wife (2005)      "[A] hilarious black comedy... all about puncturing balloons of self-importance..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Majestic (2001)      "It's like a hope thing, you know, it's... hope. It's... Look, there's a lot of dead boys, so there's heartbreaking photos in shop windows all over town, handsome young men in uniform, and bunting and flags." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Mamma Mia! (2008)      "[N]one of the nonsensicalness would matter if the movie would let me get caught up in it, but that hardly happened, much as I wished it would..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Man (2005)      "[A]n unholy stew of gastrointestinal distress, ethnic stereotypes, and gloopy sentiment..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            A Man Apart (2003)      "Ugh. Him Vin Diesel. Him big lug. *grunt*" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       6/10      A Man for All Seasons (1966)      "A Man for All Seasons is a handsome production. In other words, it is staid, stern, plodding, and precise, with about as much passion as your 11th-grade history textbook." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       --      The Man in the Iron Mask (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Man of the House (2005)      "[O]ne... wonder[s] exactly what Jones has done to believe his soul requires the scouring power of a Mel Gibson-style self-flagellation." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Man of the Year (2006)      "[L]acks all conviction in its would-be insurgent attitudes and lacks any courage in seeing through to a tough conclusion the political realities it pretends to attack." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Man on Fire (2004)      "[T]he definitive sign that we have entered a new era of harsh vigilante brutality passing for entertainment." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Man on the Train (2003)      "Piquant and poignantly humorous." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Man Push Cart (2006)      "If you've forgotten -- or never known -- the rhythm and grace that cinema can sing with, then please, for your own sanity, see Man Push Cart, and rediscover how achingly lovely a film can be." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Man With The Screaming Brain (2005)      "This movie -- how you say? -- it suck." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Management (2009)      "[C]an't even be bothered to consider its concept from the perspective of the female protagonist it would like us to like..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Manchurian Candidate (2004)      "[T]he film’s overabundance of preposterous pop-corny-ness and simultaneous and surprising naivete defang it." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Manhunter (1986)      "MANHUNTER whispers rather than shouts, and is all the more effective for it." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Mansfield Park (2007)      "Pretty, but dull." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Marathon Challenge      "[T]echnically fascinating and pesonally inspiring..." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher            March of the Penguins (2005)      "[T]hese odd birds... have a story, as a species, that’s weirder and more wonderful than you could ever have imagined." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Margaret Cho - Assassin (2005)      "We're told she's 'controversial,' but honestly, all she does is lob obvious cheap shots that do nothing but sanction her audience's status quo. Where's the controversy in that?" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Margaret Cho - Revolution (2004)      "[S]he’s preaching to a particular choir... but even some of the choir will find her sermon tedious." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Margot at the Wedding (2007)      "Margot's carelessness is Kidman's genius here: the actress makes no attempt to ingratiate herself with us, which ends up making Margot thoroughly unlikeable but totally fascinating, in a rubbernecking-a-car-crash-on-the-highway kind of way." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Maria Full of Grace (2004)      "[C]oncerned with laying out what is, with a clear-eyed realism that’s devastating and mesmerizing in its simple, unembellished authenticity." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Marie Antoinette (2006)      "This is no stuffy historical drama but an off-kilter novelty, opulent and spare at the same time, isolating the viewer as Marie herself was isolated from the harsh reality outside the palace walls." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Marley & Me (2008)      "[D]oesn't have to force any of its sentiment because all the emotional moments... spring from an honest assessment of how wonderful and upsetting and frustrating and surprising life can be." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Married Life (2008)      "The performances from this extraordinary cast are as sumptuous as you'd expect, but they disappear into a wisp of insignificance." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Married...With Children - The Complete First Season (1987)      "[A] vicious rejoinder to the domestic tranquility that ruled the primetime sitcoms of the era..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Martha, Inc. (2003)      "Cybill Shepherd throws herself into the domestic diva with a hammy, scenery-chewing panache..." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Martian Child (2007)      "This is, wonderfully, a smart and snappy -- never sappy -- portrait of a budding parent-and-kid romance, and a lovely ode to nonconformity, to being your own person even if the rest of the world has some issues with that." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       9/10      Marty (1955)      "A compelling and thoughtful film, its strong performances by Borgnine and Blair alone would make it a must see." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       9/10      The Mask of Zorro (1998)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)      "[A]n immersive experience, one that trusts the audience’s intelligence while it mines drama and suspense from the intricacies of 19th-century naval strategies." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Master of Disguise (2002)      "In a big corner office in Hell, Satan is throwing up his hands in surrender, is firing his R&D people, and has decided he will just screen The Master of Disguise 24/7." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            Masterpiece Theatre - Elizabeth I: The Virgin Queen (2005)      "Now, this is what history should be, full of passion and intrigue and drama!" [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher            Masterpiece Theatre - Kidnapped (2005)      "[P]lenty of swashbuckling, scoundrelry, and heroics to go round..." [dvd review]      The Flick Filosopher       --      The Matchmaker (1997)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher       9/10      The Matrix (1999)      "Amazingly deep and cool!" [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher            The Matrix Reloaded (2003)      "Rather ingeniously distill centuries of metaphysics into pithy moments of crisis." [movie review]      The Flick Filosopher
