P.S. (2004)

"It's a romantic comedy-drama that's every bit as unpredictable, offbeat and assured as Kidd's first film, although some third-act problems keep it from real greatness. "

Paranoid Park (2008)

"I don't know what's more surprising: that director Gus Van Sant has made yet another movie about the lives of disaffected Portland teenagers, or that he's pulled it off one more time with "Paranoid Park.""

Party Monster (2003)

"Never has the Manhattan club scene ever looked so tedious; this film makes a powerful argument for staying home and renting a movie."

A Passage to India (1984)

"Maybe a little too stately, but still a powerful and beautiful film."

Passing Glory (1999)

"Not much new here, but the familiar elements are well-handled."

Penn & Teller Get Killed (1989)

"I honestly have no idea what they were going for here, but they didn't make it."

Pete Seeger - The Power of Song (2007)

"You sense that Seeger may feel his greatest legacy is not what he accomplished, but what his presence gave others the courage to accomplish. Even if it was just singing along with a roomful of strangers."

Pink Floyd - The Wall (1982)

"Visually stunning and disturbing, an essential midnight movie."

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

"The late John Candy does his best work in one of the funniest films of the '80s."

The Player (1992)

"As definitive a film about modern Hollywood as "Sunset Boulevard" was in its time."

Porky's (1981)

"Not often you get a "Racism is bad!" message inside a "Misogyny is good!" film."

Predator 2 (1990)

"One of those sequels that not only is bad on its own, but makes you think twice about enjoying the original."

The Prestige (2006)

""The Prestige" is a terrifically entertaining thriller even if you spot the false bottoms and secret trap doors in the screenplay."

Priceless (2008)

"There's not much substance to "Priceless," but what is there is effortlessly crafted and entertaining, and the locales in Nice and Monte Carlo are just spectacular."

The Prime Gig (2001)

"A film noir about telemarketing? Actually, I bought it."

Prisoner, The - Ep. 1 (1968)

"Brilliant and fearless -- one of the best TV series ever made.."

The Promise (2005)

" if you can plant your tongue in your cheek and accept the exuberant goofiness of the special effects, "The Promise" actually turns out to be a decently entertaining slash-and-kick flick."

The Protector (2006)

""Protector" is just awful outside of the martial-arts scenes, and even the fights don't showcase Jaa's immense talent to full effect."

Public Enemies (2009)

""Public Enemies" knows the language of the gangster movie so well, and yet director Michael Mann has taken it and created something exciting and new out of it."

Purple Rain (1984)

"The musical performances are memorable, everything else is forgettable"
