| Perestroika (2007) | "
Perestroika is a curious combination of documentary and fiction, politics and science, sophisticated structure and incompetent drama." — New York Times Posted Apr 17, 2009 |

| N/A | Pageant (2008) | "
This classicism is not without its charm, and it’s touching, in a goofy sort of way, to see how seriously everyone takes it." — New York Times Posted Feb 2, 2009 |

| Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009) | "
Directed by Steve Carr, a man who knows how to put a camera in front of things, if little else, and written, sort of, by Nick Bakay and Mr. James." — New York Times Posted Jan 16, 2009 |

| N/A | Pierre Rissient: Man of Cinema (2008) | "
Unavoidably, an insidery affair. But even those who have never talked mise-en-scene...will be intrigued by this affectionate look at a legendary cinephile and prime mover of the movies." — New York Times Posted Sep 18, 2008 |

| Ping Pong Playa (2007) | There's a deeper, touching acknowledgment of braggadocio as persona, how the commodified dissent of hip-hop lends itself to masking insecurities. — New York Times Posted Sep 5, 2008 |

| Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) | "
POTC:AWE is a lukewarm maelstrom of secret agendas, double crossings, tricky alliances, back stabbings, political conspiracies, warring factions, etc. -- none of which is the least bit captivating or, by and large, comprehensible." — Village Voice Posted May 23, 2007 |

| Pixies - LoudQUIETLoud: A Film About the Pixies (2006) | "
Boring people who made extraordinary music, the Pixies are inexplicable. In attempting to demystify them, this backstage pass to their 2004 reunion tour achieves the opposite." — New York Times Posted Sep 28, 2006 |

| Princesas (2006) | This maudlin melodrama about prostitutes in Madrid is not, alas, the new film by Pedro Almódovar, but a dilution of his manner by the writer-director Fernando León de Aranoa. — New York Times Posted Aug 22, 2006 |
