[movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      M*A*S*H (1970)      "Altman boiled away the muddled meat of literary pretension intended to smokescreen the essence of war: blood on the one side and semen on the other." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Mac and Me (1988)      "Watching it's made me a little stupider, buying it would have also dropped me a few social classes." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Machinist (2004)      "Wish it all added up to more than a stock morality play." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Mad Monster Party (1967)      "What it does best is remind that children's entertainment need not be an empty sideshow free of controversy and the occasional chill." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      Madagascar (2005)      "Meta doesn't automatically mean clever." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008)      "There aren't very many alternatives right at this moment, so expect it to make money out of proportion with its quality." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Made-Up (2004)      "Salvaged by one meta-read that carries some weight as Shalhoub, an Arab-American of Lebanese descent, directs a film about the ills of stereotyping based on appearance." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      The Magdalene Sisters (2003)      "The picture is passionate without question, but perhaps passionate to a fault." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Magic (1978)      "It makes you feel uncomfortable in your own skin." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      The Magnificent Seven (1960)      "Instantly made vestigial by the grit and mood of A Fistful of Dollars (1964), if not already made vestigial by the psychoanalytical reverberations of The Searchers (1956)" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Maid in Manhattan (2002)      "Suffocated at conception by its Munchausen-by-proxy mum. Punish the vehicle to adore the star." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      The Majestic (2001)      "It is pornography or slasher cinema for the squeamish middle-class: every pre-fabricated epiphany is string-scored to elicit the easiest response." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Malevolent (2002)      "One of those things exclusively for Lou Diamond Phillips' stubborn fan base and adolescents desperate for skin because they're grounded from the Internet." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      Mamma Mia! (2008)      "After this, after "Movin' Out" (based on the deplorable songbook of one Willliam Joel), it's not even satire to suggest that the next big thing will be a musical inspired by the oeuvre of Howard Jones" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2/4      A Man Apart (2003)      "Although Diesel's flexathon is certainly the wrong message in the wrong time, the only harm it can do is through the aggregate culmination of like-minded films." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Man of the Year (2006)      "Its screenplay needs not another run through the typewriter, but a first run through the shredder." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Man on Fire (2004)      "Revealing of the seething core of terror, wrath, and provincialism in our America." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Man on the Train (2003)      "A blue mood on celluloid, capturing the myth of the American western in dual implosions of quiet regret." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976)      "It isn't so much the lightness of being that is unbearable as the gravity of its entropy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)      "Their best film since Barton Fink, The Man Who Wasn't There is deadpan slapstick of a kind that has become unique to the Brothers Coen." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Man Without a Past (2003)      "Hopeful about the ability for man to persevere in a capricious world." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      The Manchurian Candidate (1962)      "a benchmark of the United States' coming of age in the 1960s" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      The Manchurian Candidate (2004)      "Although I doubt that it'll have the longevity of Frankenheimer's piece, at least in terms of time-capsules of wounded nations, it's--shockingly--almost as fascinating." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Mangler (1995)      "Junkyards and common sense were made for stuff like this. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Manhunter (1986)      "Visually lush and possessed of the attention to craft and detail that has become a hallmark of Mann's work." [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      Manic (2003)      "McMurphy lolls in his grave." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      The Manson Family (2004)      "You feel sick and indicted by it--and that's exactly how you ought to feel." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Manufactured Landscapes (2007)      "The film betrays a gratifying faith in the audience's agility." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Marathon Man (1976)      "It explores every aspect of personal desecration (physical, emotional, psychological) with an excruciating, nearly unbearable fastidiousness." [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       4/4      Marathon Man (1976)      "It explores every aspect of personal desecration (physical, emotional, psychological) with an excruciating, nearly unbearable fastidiousness" [dvd review]      Film Freak Central       1.5/4      March of the Penguins (2005)      "Critics seem to be reviewing the penguins, proof positive that the film's grammar-school machinations have worked." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Marci X (2003)      "It's the kind of movie that Mel Brooks used to make, warts and all." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Margarita Happy Hour (2001)      "The film's apocalyptic urban setting and unrelentingly icy zeitgeist is message enough without a triumphant parting shot" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Margot at the Wedding (2007)      "A Dorothy Parker poem come to life." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Maria Full of Grace (2004)      "Moreno's performance is so sure-footed and clear that it smoothes over some of the rougher patches of the piece. " [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Marie Antoinette (2006)      "It's impossible for me to not see something of Coppola's own premature coronation as the emotional centre of her father's royal court." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      The Marriage Certificate (2001)      "A disaster in terms of satire and the basic precepts of mature entertainment." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Married Life (2008)      "A sly, pitch-black domestic manifesto that's scabrous enough to suggest that if you design your own cage, you'll forget that you're trapped." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Martian Child (2007)      "Heartfelt pap." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      The Martian Chronicles (1979)      "muddy beyond salvation" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0.5/4      Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat (2002)      "The Spalding Gray equivalent of a teen gross-out comedy." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       2.5/4      Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1994)      "It's Greek tragedy, and when its characters utter invocations to the gods in turn, it manages to feel cheesy in exactly the right way." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3/4      Maryam (2002)      "captures that perverse element of the Kafkaesque where identity, overnight, is robbed and replaced with a persecuted "other."" [movie review]      Film Freak Central       1/4      Masked and Anonymous (2003)      "That disgusting wet noise is an audience of eyes rolling skyward in unison." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       3.5/4      Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)      "Weir is at his best when examining the dangers of individuals at odds with tradition, and the rewards for modern men able to assimilate the ancient into the new." [movie review]      Film Freak Central       0/4      The Master of Disguise (2002)      "The Master of Disguise is funny--not "ha ha" funny, "dead circus performer" funny. And for all the wrong reasons besides." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Masters of Horror - Chocolate (2005)      "Garris has the audacity to dub himself one of the titular Masters (on the strength of which, Sleepwalkers or Riding the Bullet?)." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Masters of Horror - John Carpenter: Cigarette Burns (2005)      "There's something ultimately inconsequential about it all, even if Greg Nicotero's gore is bracingly uncompromising." [movie review]      Film Freak Central            Masters of Horror - Stuart Gordon: Dreams in the Witch House (2005)      "Demonstrates a troubling compulsion towards closure that's at complete odds with a film based on writings by the master of the unknowable and the indescribable." [movie review]      Film Freak Central
