Tomato	Man On Wire (2008)	"The man is clearly a nut, but he's also a great storyteller with a heck of a story, and Man on Wire gives him a chance to tell it."	Robert Davis
Tomato 4/5	Manderlay (2006)	"It doesn't offer much insight into America's race issues, which might seem at first to be its target, but it works very well as a metaphor for America's intervention in Iraq."	Robert Davis
Tomato 67/10	Marley & Me (2008)	"It dips a little too deeply into unnecessary sentimentality and ends on a gimmicky note, but all of its faults don't detract from a whole that's deeply concerned with its characters."	Sean Gandert
Tomato 2.5/5	Married Life (2008)	"It's elegant, unhurried, and, if you meet it half way, softly satisfying ... like the muffled clap of a velvet-covered ring box snapping shut."	Robert Davis
Tomato 3.5/5	Mary (2008)	"Very little of this mess works in any conventional sense, but as the performances begin to redline, the movie examines the relationship between performance and contrition."	Robert Davis
Splat 20/100	Max Payne (2008)	"The willfully absurd action sequences help the movie slog along, but slog it does, right through to the obligatory after-credits scene to establish the possibility of a franchise."	Jeffrey Bloomer
Tomato 72/100	Medicine for Melancholy (2009)	"The film weaves an intriguing commentary on race, class and personal identity, but the trick of minimalism is to hide ideas inside sparse scenes, and Jenkins is too often balancing over-stuffed conversations with undernourished carousel rides."	Robert Davis
Splat 2/5	Meet Dave (2008)	"I doubt many kids will follow the bit about using an orb to desalinate the earth's water, but that's just the MacGuffin of a film whose nature is to whiff across the top of a kid's head and then evaporate, which it does, leaving almost no residue."	Robert Davis
Tomato 79/100	Milk (2008)	"Harvey Milk is remembered as a local hero in San Francisco, and Sean Penn's joyful, deeply layered portrayal in an uncommonly graceful -- albeit conventional -- new biopic by Gus Van Sant gives us a pretty good idea why."	Robert Davis
Tomato 4/5	Millennium Mambo (2003)	"We get far too few opportunities in the U.S. to see Hou's gorgeous films on the big screen. If this one comes to your town, don't pass it up."	Robert Davis
Splat 34/100	Miracle at St. Anna (2008)	"The combination of Lee's concerns for his characters' depictions with Disney's concerns for mass-market appeal ends up pleasing no one."	Sean Gandert
Tomato 4/5	A Moment of Innocence (1996)	"Discarding his violent past, [Makhmalbaf presents a] 1974 event as something unthinkable to a younger generation and arrives at a truly poetic, thoroughly optimistic conclusion."	Robert Davis
Tomato 82/100	Momma's Man (2008)	"After a summer full of movies that celebrate the arrested development of their male characters, that titter and wink while grown men behave like teenagers, Momma's Man is a welcome palette cleanser."	Robert Davis
Tomato	Mongol (2008)	"[It's] as good as most of this year's American would-be blockbusters, but it might've been far more interesting if the filmmakers had either left the Hollywood mold or embraced it with reckless abandon."	Robert Davis
Tomato 3.5/5	Monster (2003)	"As impressive as [Charlize Theron's] transformation is, it's likely to spawn more discussions about acting than about the topic at hand."	Robert Davis
Tomato 3.5/5	Murderball (2005)	"Even when the movie tries to shoe-horn its stories into the standard documentary mold, it serves to drive home the point: these guys aspire to the same clichés as the rest of us."	Robert Davis
Tomato	My Architect: A Son's Journey (2003)	"Overall [Nathaniel Kahn's] attempt to find his father in his buildings, scars and all, is credible and well-paced, with neat visual rhymes that circle back to points raised earlier."	Robert Davis
Splat 40/100	My Bloody Valentine 3D (2009)	"This one-trick, entirely derivative exercise in old-school slasher tropes doesn't stretch very far."	Jeffrey Bloomer
Splat	My Blueberry Nights (2008)	"What the film ends up feeling like is someone else's clumsy attempt to imitate Kar-Wai's style while missing out on his obsessive perfection and emotional depth."	Sean Gandert
Tomato 4/5	My Summer of Love (2005)	"The film reaches a point of high drama, for sure, but when Edith Piaf's voice rises over the final minutes, the gothic climax curls into a wicked grin."	Robert Davis
