Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Fresh	Fresh 60%	Pirate Radio (2009)	" *I liked this version so much, I really want to see the longer The Boat That Rocked* version. I guess on DVD.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Nov 14, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 9%	Post Grad (2009)	" I know this world of trying to find a job after college. I tried my hand at entertainment journalism, which is crazy. This movie does not represent the humor in the job search. It was laughable what's out there and what I didn't get." — Can Magazine Posted Sep 9, 2009
Fresh	Fresh 67%	Public Enemies (2009)	" Good, but not great" — Can Magazine Posted Jul 1, 2009
Rotten	Rotten 59%	Phoebe In Wonderland (2009)	" Abstract portrayals of kids with OCD and Tourette's do not, it turns out, make great entertainment." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 5, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 13%	The Pink Panther 2 (2009)	" It's all about Martin's commitment. He knows the rules, the limits and he's an expert at performing it. Even the stunt doubles do some awesome work." — Can Magazine Posted Feb 6, 2009
Fresh	Rotten 23%	Push (2009)	" It's not great, but it's a perfectly fine version of psychics on the run versus the bad guys." — Can Magazine Posted Feb 6, 2009
Rotten 2/5	Fresh 91%	Pusher 3 (2006)	Click here to read article — Hollywood.com Posted Nov 20, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 34%	Pride and Glory (2008)	" Loud..." — Can Magazine Posted Nov 2, 2008
Rotten	Rotten 53%	The Promotion (2008)	" *Here's a weird little comedy... Kind of like Clerks* in a bigger store, or at least a funny version of Employee of the Month.*" — Can Magazine* Posted Jun 6, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 50%	Penelope (2008)	" Penelope is true fantasy. It asks the audience to believe that men would not want to do Christina Ricci just because she has a pig nose. I mean, come on, you're going to dump that curvy little body?" — Can Magazine Posted Feb 28, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 26%	Punisher: War Zone (2008)	" When The Punisher kills people, he really kills them good. Head shots explode out of nowhere with comic timing. They get that action movie violence is a joke so they don't try to justify it." — Can Magazine Posted Jan 23, 2008
Fresh	Rotten 22%	P.S. I Love You (2007)	" It's Million Dollar Cry Baby. P.S. I Love You is the most potent tear jerker since The Notebook. It's not as profound or skillful, but there certainly hasn't been anything that makes you so happy to cry since then." — Can Magazine Posted Dec 21, 2007
Fresh	Rotten 16%	The Perfect Holiday (2007)	" There's just no cynicism in this whole story. As if a woman knows how to take a compliment. But this movie allows you to suspend disbelief and buy into a woman who can say thank you." — Can Magazine Posted Dec 16, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 11%	Perfect Stranger (2007)	" They're playing it too intense. This isn't that serious. It's just a murder mystery with a little sex (very little). That's an exploitation movie. Making it about internet chat doesn't give it social relevance." — Can Magazine Posted Apr 13, 2007
Rotten	Rotten 46%	Pride (2007)	" The real Jim Ellis surely did a wonderful thing for his community, but the most striking thing about seeing him in the end credits is that he's not nearly as fabulously handsome as Terrence Howard." — Can Magazine Posted Mar 23, 2007
Fresh	Fresh 66%	The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)	" Makes Working Girl look like a whiny brat. It's a jiggy Secret of My Success. It's like the best very special episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Somebody stop me." — Can Magazine Posted Dec 15, 2006
Fresh	Fresh 75%	The Prestige (2006)	" The Prestige is a good escalating battle of wits. Obsessives are compelling. They're usually right about their obsession, devoted and clever. We don't have to live with their social dysfunction. We just see the cool parts." — Can Magazine Posted Oct 19, 2006
Rotten	Fresh 81%	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	" Between Robert Altman, Garrison Keillor and all the award winning actors just waiting to use all their drama school techniques, there's no room for anyone looking for entertainment or insight." — Can Magazine Posted Jun 10, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 33%	Poseidon (2006)	" *The most pure action/adventure romp since Batman Begins... makes Titanic* look like a sailboat.*" — Suite101.com* Posted May 11, 2006
N/A	Rotten 33%	Poseidon (2006)	Click here to read article — Can Magazine Posted May 11, 2006
Fresh	Rotten 51%	The Producers (2005)	" Finally, in its third incarnation, it's perfect... The story flows better on film and you can see the nuance as opposed to the broad caricature projected to the back row." — About.com Posted Dec 15, 2005
Fresh 3.5/5	Fresh 62%	Pauly Shore is Dead (2004)	Click here to read article — MovieWeb Posted May 16, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 21%	The Pacifier (2005)	" Is Vin Diesel stiff and one-note? Yes, but comedy is about reactions. What�s funny is the kids reacting to him, not his hammy antics." — About.com Posted Mar 3, 2005
Fresh	Rotten 19%	Paparazzi (2004)	" A classic revenge tale in the tradition of Charles Bronson, Clint Eastwood and the early works of Steven Seagal." — About.com Posted Sep 3, 2004
Fresh	Rotten 29%	The Punisher (2004)	" I don�t remember the Dolph Lundgren movie all that well...Of course, this is a movie about characters, plot and tone, so it�s no comparison to a straight to video B movie." — About.com Posted Apr 16, 2004
Fresh	Rotten 50%	The Passion of the Christ (2004)	" *If you want to get offended by a Mel Gibson movie, nothing is worse than the portrayal of slavery in The Patriot. Yeah, everyone is a happy free voluntary worker." — About.com* Posted Mar 26, 2004
Rotten	Rotten 16%	The Perfect Score (2004)	" These generic �insert stoner here� movies will never work, no matter how young you are.Even the least discerning viewer wants to at least watch some kind of character." — About.com Posted Jan 29, 2004
Fresh	Rotten 27%	Paycheck (2003)	" Total Recall without the ambiguity and Fifty First Dates without the jokes. Now I�m referencing movies that aren�t even out yet, what�s wrong with me?" — About.com Posted Dec 27, 2003
N/A	Rotten 27%	Paycheck (2003)	" *Paul Giamatti talks about shooting action scenes with John Woo and Ben Affleck, and wrapping his mind around the Philip K. Dick sci-fi story of Paycheck." — About.com* Posted Aug 13, 2003
N/A	Fresh 78%	Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)	" *Orlando Bloom talks about his Johnny Depp impression, the sword fights and the stunts of Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl." — About.com* Posted Jul 14, 2003
Fresh	Fresh 78%	Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)	" "If a movie based on a ride can be this great, I can�t wait for Log Flume: The Movie or Motion Simulator WITH A VENGEANCE."" — About.com Posted Jul 14, 2003
