M:i-2
According to the Law of the Series, the adaptation from the TV to the big screen always spells catastrophe. Mission Impossible 2 confirms that rule.
|
 |
Million Dollar Hotel
With its opening scene of a slow-motion sunset and its soundtrack The Million Dollar Hotel resembles a U2 pop video. This is not by chance as this Wim Wenders film (Wings of Desire, Buena Vista Social Club) is based on a script by his friend Bono.
|
 |
Minority Report
With Minority Report, Steven Spielberg refines a stylized vision of the future that he outlined in the uneven A.I, and offers a sophisticated, dark thriller that's addressed to an adult audience, something to which we're not accustomed.

 |
Mon Colonel
Co-written by Costa-Gavras Mon Colonel exposes the use of torture against Algerians during the colonial war.While it certainly makes its point, it should be seen as a minor work.
|
 |
Mondovino
Armed with his digital camera and affability for any test, the iconoclast Jonathan Nossiter makes an enlightening documentary on the wine trade, on the scale of three continents and with globalization in the background.
|
 |
Monster
Films about true crimes and the criminals who commit them will always hold the public captive and stories about female serial killers are basically an anomaly in the genre.
|
 |
Monster's Ball
Tragedy, racism, trust and redemption are explored in Monster's Ball, the latest film by director Marc Forster. Strong performances give weight to the issues examined when a prison warden falls in love with the widow of the man he's executed.
|
 |
Mon Trésor
Mon Trésor by Keren Yedaya is a tragedy. A tragedy that is written in the flesh of a woman, Ruthie, a street prostitute who has walked for too long, and the future mirror of that tragedy in her daughter, Or.
|
 |
Monumental
Monumental chronicles the uncompromising journey of David Brower, an environmentalist who for most of his life fought for the preservation of America's natural treasures.
|
 |
Morvern Callar
Really, at first sight, it's horrifying. Superficially, what happens in Morvern Callar is grotesque.
|
 |
Mostly Martha
Mostly Martha is a love story and the kind of post-modernish, minimalistic story that apparently appeals to almost everyone.
|
 |
The Mothman Prophecies
Initially intriguing, neither the mothman nor the prophecies are fully explained in this sci-fi thriller starring Richard Gere, Laura Linney and Debra Messing.
|
 |
The Motorcycle Diaries
More than an anthem to Che, The Motorcycle Diaries sings to traveling, to the discovery of the world and others, in other words, curiosity.
|
 |
Moulin Rouge
Luhrmann must have taken a cue from Hemmingway's memoir about Paris, A Moveable Feast, for that is exactly what he creates. His film is all about the senses, melodramatic sentimentality, and romantic ideals like truth, beauty and freedom that are difficult to fall for anywhere else.
|
 |
Mothers
In Mothers, we learn the story of the "Madres de la Plaza de Mayo Línea Fundadora", a group of Argentinean mothers who've been sticking together for years to find out what happened to their children, who were kidnapped by the military government during Argentina's Dirty War in the 1970's.
|
 |
Mulholland Drive
Contrasting with the long undeviating lines of The Straight Story, Mulholland Drive is a tortuous road perched on the hills of Los Angeles that is the theater of a series of mysterious crimes. The perfect setting to mark the return of David Lynch with an ambitious and bewitching film that proves to be a major event this year.
|
 |
The Mummy Returns
Obviously it's not Apocalypse Now, nor is it as apocalyptic for a blockbuster as it could be. The story of The Mummy Returns is familiar; and though the special effects are bigger and better, we've seen them in other films.
|
 |
Munich
In Steven Spielberg's Munich, an entertaining mess with a good heart, we follow Avner (Eric Bana) and his team as they track down the terrorists responsible for the Munich Olympics massacre.
|
 |
Musa
With an excess of medieval violence reminiscent of Braveheart along with the exotic touch that made Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon successful, Musa should have had all of the qualities of a perfect export candidate.
|
 |
The Muse
Albert Brooksâ.s latest will satisfy existant fans and make room for new ones: especially those for whom light paranoia and irony count. With Albert Brooks,Sharon Stone,Andie McDowell,Jeff Bridges.
|
 |
The Musketeer
Alexandre Dumas hardly had enough time to recover from The Three Musketeers with Chris O' Donnell and Charlie Sheen when he again turned in his grave. Peter Hyams, to whom we owe such recent memorable works as End of Days and Sudden Death succeeds in the impossible by offering us a version not only lacking in gallantry but also one hour and thirty minutes of despondency.
|
 |
Mystic River
Clint Eastwood's Mystic River is a long and sinuous journey into murky waters. Eastwood has crafted a film of a rare subtlety, using the investigation of a murder to confront the superficiality of appearances.
|
 |
The Mystery Men
The Mystery Men is the latest cinematic variation on the anti-hero theme, by grouping a pack of anti-heros together. Unfortunately, despite a promising premise and colorful casting, the film, just like the powers of its heros, rapidly drains.
