[movie review]      Philadelphia City Paper            The Machinist (2004)      "As flashbacks show Trevor at other moments, when his head is slightly less scrambled and his body less eaten away, the film is never not about process." [movie review]      PopMatters       --      Mad City (1997)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Philadelphia City Paper       5/5      Mad Hot Ballroom (2005)      "Dance documentary hits all the right beats." [dvd review]      Common Sense Media            Mad Hot Ballroom (2005)      "Ballroom dancing is a set of social abstractions, of strategies and choices rather than any "natural" order." [movie review]      PopMatters       2/5      Madagascar (2005)      "A group of animal friends escape from the Central Park Zoo." [dvd review]      Common Sense Media            Madagascar (2005)      "If you're six, the idea that your best friend might want to eat you isn't so literal or alarming. " [movie review]      PopMatters            Made (2001)      "[Bobby's] journey --comic, goofy, hard -- seems worthwhile." [movie review]      Nitrate Online            Made of Honor (2008)      "If she lived in another movie, you'd almost feel sorry for Hannah (Michelle Monaghan). But she's trapped in the execrable Made of Honor, which insists that she behave nearly as inanely as her two suitors." [movie review]      PopMatters            Madea's Family Reunion (2006)      "The Madea franchise is premised on her excessive characterization, and audiences love the character. Still, she can be repetitive, and this film is unevenly paced and predictable." [movie review]      Common Sense Media            Mafioso (1962)      "The black American offers a brief, sharp bit of tragicomic business that only appears unrelated to Nino's dire plot. He has no idea who he is, and even when he finds out, he's committed to silence." [movie review]      PopMatters            The Magdalene Sisters (2003)      "Mullan's film both amplifies and flattens these stories, so they are at once sensational and too intimate, by filling in narrative gaps and detailing scenes of mistreatment and malevolence." [movie review]      PopMatters            Magnolia (1999)      "One of the many characters in Paul Thomas Anderson's amazing new film, Magnolia, Jim spends a lot of time talking to himself — and you too, since you're along for the ride — while driving his car, on the way to or from a call." [movie review]      Nitrate Online            The Maid (2009)      "Full of tension, the first scene in The Maid (La Nana) sets up Raquel's grim and limited world." [movie review]      PopMatters       --      Maid in Manhattan (2002)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Nitrate Online       --      The Majestic (2001)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      PopMatters       --      Malibu's Most Wanted (2003)      "As it revisits Steve Martin's club intrusion in Bringing Down the House, the scene is yet another in the increasingly tiresome line of white-folks-acting-black gags." [movie review]      PopMatters       4/10      Mamma Mia! (2008)      "Meryl Streep scampers and writhes with something like abandon in her tomboyish overalls, her glowing tan and perfectly arranged "wild" blond hair indicating Donna's stanch independence." [movie review]      PopMatters       1/5      The Man (2005)      "Sad excuse for a buddy cop movie, not for younger teens." [dvd review]      Common Sense Media            A Man Apart (2003)      "Plots don't come more worn out than this one." [movie review]      PopMatters            Man of the Year (2006)      "Ellie's the locus for the film's instability and lack of direction, while the guys get to tromp around in its more explicitly comic terrain." [movie review]      PopMatters            Man on Fire (2004)      "That Creasy finds his motivation in the exploitation of American white girls by dark-skinned enemies is a complication this movie can't begin to outline. " [movie review]      PopMatters            The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)      "Intelligent, insightful, and resonant." [movie review]      PopMatters            The Manchurian Candidate (2004)      "The film draws a line between the corporation and the government, sustaining a hope that the U.S. system might be salvaged by an honestly free election." [movie review]      PopMatters       --      Manic (2003)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      PopMatters            Manny & Lo (1996)      "Yes, it's a movie about life cycles. But it's also quirky enough that it avoids getting bogged down in a predictable reaffirmation of the nuclear family." [movie review]      Philadelphia City Paper            March of the Penguins (2005)      "The penguins look remarkably graceful when they crane their necks over one another or exchange gentle, seemingly loving beak-taps. " [movie review]      Common Sense Media       5/5      March of the Penguins (2005)      "THE penguin movie. A stunning, loving documentary." [dvd review]      Common Sense Media       3/5      Margot at the Wedding (2007)      "Well-acted tale of crushing family dysfunction." [dvd review]      Common Sense Media            Maria Full of Grace (2004)      "Jim Denault's subtle, handheld cinematography makes clear Maria's perspective without overstating what's obvious: she's in crisis." [movie review]      PopMatters       4/5      Marie Antoinette (2006)      "Teen queen rocks out in punk-scored biopic." [dvd review]      Common Sense Media            Marie Antoinette (2006)      "The film keeps its focus on the queen's teenness, her formation as an icon and a legend, her measure as a girl." [movie review]      PopMatters            The Marine (2006)      "The Marine settles for action pieces performed by broad character types. In other words, it's a lot like a night of wrestling." [movie review]      Common Sense Media            Married Life (2008)      "Richard's version is exceptionally insidious, which makes Married Life at once fascinating and unsurprising." [movie review]      PopMatters            Martian Child (2007)      "While David imagines other worlds for profit, Martian Child crash-lands on this one."

[movie review]      PopMatters            The Matador (2008)      "More observational than overtly critical, The Matador reveals the ways that violence defines a conventional, familiar, and increasingly scrutinized masculinity." [movie review]      PopMatters       2/5      Match Point (2005)      "Woody Allen movie involves adultery and murder. Adults only." [dvd review]      Common Sense Media            Match Point (2005)      "Maybe it's just luck that the women in Allen's latest film -- irrational, demanding, and voluble -- come to represent the protagonist's lack of "meaning." " [movie review]      PopMatters            Matchstick Men (2003)      "The fusion of Matchstick Men's usual conman life lesson with the father-daughter business is awkward and rushed by film's end. The pieces come together precisely, but sentimentally." [movie review]      PopMatters            Material Girls (2006)      "Woe is the Marchetta sisters! " [movie review]      PopMatters       --      Matilda (1996)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      Philadelphia City Paper            The Matrix Reloaded (2003)      "Immersed in its own legend and expectations, in love with its two-years-in-rendering set pieces, and keen to 'revolutionize' moviemaking." [movie review]      PopMatters            The Matrix Reloaded (2003)      "Morpehus is a stanch warrior and provocative thinker, a black man in a world where the machines' agents tend to be white men in suits."

[movie review]      Nitrate Online            Max (2002)      "At first, he ridicules Adolf's claims to connections between art and politics: "Would you rather teach them a new way to see, or how to pay their taxes?" he asks."
