Madagascar (2005)

If you're going to this one, forget any subliminal messages and just enjoy the fun.
Maid in Manhattan (2002)

It has some very humorous moments and that may be it's greatest merit. Good entertainment.
Majestic, The (2001)

Jim Carey is probably better at roles with humour, but he did a credible job in this one.
Marley & Me (2008)   This is just a very good and I recommend it for every one.
Mama Mia (2008)   We just plain enjoyed this movie. It's pure fun and suitable for all audiences. See it on the big screen.
Management (2009) On DVD Predictable romance. Supposed to be funny but laughs were few and far between.
Manchurian Candidate [2004]
Worth a look considering all the other trash that seems to be out there. Good movie.
Master And Commander [2003]

The movie is about life on a British war ship. Definitely worth a look.
Matador [2008] A half decent ending saved this movie from 2 unhappy faces
Match Point [2005] Good acting, but the story sucks.
Max Payne (2008) Just didn't quite have enough story to make a good movie.
Mechanic [2010]  Decent Action Movie.
Meet The Fockers [2004]
So while adults will no doubt find it amusing and entertaining, all in all, this was an just OK movie.
Michael Clayton (2007)  Takes a while to sort things out, but once you do, it's a good movie.
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008) Not great but has a good message in it and is decently entertaining.
Mission Impossible 3 [2006]

It's full of action and....action. But Judy and I found that's about all it was full of.
Mission Impossible [2011]  Tom Cruise in his element. Just a little over the top, but worth seeing if you like action.
Mona Lisa Smile [2003]

To fully appreciate this movie it's best if you experienced the reality of women's status in the 50's.
Money Ball [2011]  Good movie if you are a fan of major league baseball. Based on a true story.
Monster's Ball [2001]
Mr. And Mrs. Smith [2005]
Too unreal, and not enough depth or humour to be considered good
Mr. Deeds [2002]
Mr. Deeds is a shallow movie and totally predictable.
Muppets, The [2011]  Good clean fun with a bit of retro. We suspect the adults liked it as much, or more than the kids.
Music and Lyrics (2007)  Drew Barrymore has a certain charm and Hugh Grant a certain whit that together it's all right.
My Brothers Keeper [2004]
My Name is Khan [2010]  Not your mainstream movie. Those who watch this mostly subtitled movie, should not be disappointed.
Namesake, The (2006) on DVD A movie about culture clash for one family. A little slow but has some good messages in it.
National Treasurer - Book of Secrets (2007)  Nothing overly sophisticated, but good entertainment and fun.
Never Say Never - Justin Bieber Story [2011]  Good documentary about the music industry. More about marketing than music.
Nights in Rodanthe (2008)  It was just too disjointed to believe.
Nim's Island (2008)  This is a ferry tale - maybe. It's funny, heart warming, and worth a see. Family.
No Country for Old Men (2007) Miss this one - period.
No Good Deed
Norfolk
Just too weird for words
Notes on a Scandal (2006)
We did not like this movie, in spite of Judi Dench's and Cate Blanchett's Oscar nominations.
Nothing But The Truth (2008)  Stars Matt Dillon and Kate Beckinsale. Good movie but won't leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.
Off The Map [2005] Slow, boring, and we did not like it, but it is liked by both critics and viewers.
Once Upon A Time In Mexico
Open Season

There isn't much new or original in this movie - it's simply fun to watch.
Operation Valkyrie (2009) This is not the Tom Cruise version but the lead character, Claus von Stauffenberg, is much better cast.
Other Boleyn Girl (2008)  For some reason this movie did not touch me and I wondered about its accuracy.
Other Guys. The [2010]  Mike says the movie had its funny moments, lots of potential, but not much else.
Out of Time [2003]
There are enough twists in the plot to require a road map. This was a good movie.
Owning Mahowny [2003]

If you want something a little off the mainstream, rent this one. But don't be tired, it moves slowly.
Pacifier, The [2005]

It's a feel good movie and even if it wasn't great it was funny and enjoyable.
Painted Veil [2006]  A very moving movie about love and sacrifice.
Panic Room
[2002]
Passchendaele [2008] The movie is well acted and should be seen by all Canadians, just for the history. But it's a love story.
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
Long, tedious, weak plot and I am tired of Captain Jack Sparrow
Pride and Glory [2008]  A decent action movie.
Proof
A movie with potential but never achieves it.
Proposal (2009)  Totally predictable, totally entertaining.
Proposition (2006)
The critics like it, but we say leave it on the shelf.
P.S.
This was Blockbuster's "Hidden Treasure" and it should mostly stay hidden as it's not much of a treasure.
PS: I Love You (2007)  A very good movie that's pretty much right for everyone except those under 3.
Quantum of Solace [2008]  A typical Bond movie, high action. Worth a see on the big screen.
Quiet American
