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.  
Man On Fire
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.
March Of The Penguins  
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
Matchstick Men  
Match Point [2005]    Good acting, but the story sucks.
Matrix - Reloaded  
Max Payne (2008) Just didn't quite have enough story to make a good movie.
Mean Girls   
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.
Meet the Robinsons (2007)   
Memoirs of a Geisha (2005)  
Men In Black II   
Miami Vice [2006]  
Michael Clayton (2007)    Takes a while to sort things out, but once you do, it's a good movie.  
Million Dollar Baby
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (2008)  Not great but has a good message in it and is decently entertaining.
Missing, The [2003]  
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]   
Motorcycle Diaries
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.
Munich (2005)
Muppets, The  [2011]    Good clean fun with a bit of retro.  We suspect the adults liked it as much, or more than the kids.
Murder  By Numbers  
Music and Lyrics (2007)    Drew Barrymore has a certain charm and Hugh Grant a certain whit that together it's all right.
Must Love Dogs [2005]  
My Big Fat Greek Wedding
My Brothers Keeper [2004]
My Name is Khan [2010]   Not your mainstream movie. Those who watch this mostly subtitled movie, should not be disappointed.  
Mystic River  
Namesake, The  (2006) on DVD  A movie about culture clash for one family.  A little slow but has some good messages in it.  
National Treasure  
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.
New World, The [2005]  
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
North Country (2005)  
Notebook, The   
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.  
Ocean's Twelve  
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  
One Night with the King (2006)       Judy  
Open Range
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.  
Passion of the Christ
Paycheck  
Perfect Man, The  Judy's Rating
Pirates of the Caribbean
Pirates Of The Caribbean - Deadman's Chest [2006]
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)    Long, tedious, weak plot and I am tired of Captain Jack Sparrow
Polar Express
Prestige, The (2006)    
Prime [2005]
Pride and Glory [2008]  A decent action movie.
Pride And Prejudice  
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.
Pursuit of Happyness, The     Judy gave it
Queen, The [2006]   
Quantum of Solace [2008] A  typical Bond movie, high action.  Worth a see on the big screen.
Quiet American
