Tomato 5/10 |
P2 (2007) |
"P2 is nothing fancy or flashy. It could use more innovation, and either tension or dark creepiness, but all in all, it's not a bad directing debut for Khalfoun." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"It contains both incredible beauty and horrific violence." |

Tomato 6/10 |
Pandorum (2009) |
"It's Alien meets The Descent in the new film Pandorum. It's a case of been there, done that. But does Pandorum manage to do it better?" |

Tomato |
Paprika (2007) |
"Paprika offers a breathtakingly surreal journey. It's a film that may serve up mass destruction and ponder some nightmarish scenarios, but underneath it has a warm humanity and humor that's utterly endearing." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 6/10 |
Paranoid Park (2008) |
"If you are planning to shoot a visual poem, there is no one better to have on hand than cinematographer Christopher Doyle. Doyle knows how to find seduction and romance anywhere." |

Tomato |
Paranormal Activity (2009) |
"I took a group of KPBS Teen Critics to see Paranormal Activity to see what all the buzz was about." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 6/10 |
Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"Paris Je T'aime is a charmer. It's like a sampler plate of sweet confections, delightful but not very substantial, and with enough variety to please just about everyone." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato |
Pee-Wee's Big Adventure (1985) |
"The filmmakers create a zany and surreal world for Pee-wee yet it all seems perfectly natural and credible. Plus, it's all infused with a subdued yet rampant silliness that's enchanting." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 5/10 |
Penelope (2008) |
"Penelope is adorable and easy to watch thanks to the charms of its leads Ricci and McAvoy. But it's too much a mainstream Hollywood product and not enough of a spunky indie spirit to really win audiences over." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 9/10 |
Peppermint Candy (2000) |
"The film offers a heartbreaking drama told in reverse chronology and spanning twenty years in both the life of the main character and the political history of Korea." |

Tomato 10/10 |
Persepolis (2007) |
"The characters are so rich and so human that they transcend the simple animation.The vocal performances also help give the film universal appeal." |

Pineapple Express (2008) |
"Produced by Judd Apatow and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Pineapple Express serves up a combination of The Big Lebowski, True Romance, and Hot Fuzz." |

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"Personally, I'd rather go on the Disneyland ride than to have to suffer through the two sequels ever again. Although the ride has now been changed to include multiple Jack Sparrows, so there's simply no escaping the film." |

Planet B-Boy (2008) |
"So while I might complain about some of Lee's filmmaking choices, I feel nothing but wonder and delight at seeing these dancers excel at something they love so passionately." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 5/5 |
Planet of the Apes (1968) |
"A sci-fi classic that still holds up today and far surpasses Tim Burton's remake." |
Beth Accomando |
Splat 2/5 |
Pokemon Vol. 1: I Choose You Pikachu (1998) |
"The anime that became wildly popular but there are far better animes out there." |

Pontypool (2009) |
"I have to give kudos to McDonald and Burgess for refreshing the zombie genre in ways I never thought possible." |

Ponyo (2009) |
"Behind the Scenes of Ponyo" |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 10/10 |
Ponyo (2009) |
"Hayao Miyazaki proves that he is not only a master animator but also a master storyteller. Ponyo is easily one of the best films -- animated or live action -- of the year." |
Beth Accomando |
Splat 4/10 |
The Prestige (2006) |
"What The Prestige and filmmaker Nolan seem to have forgotten about magic is the very important element of misdirection. Without misdirection, an audience is bound to discover the trick and not be impressed." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato |
Prison Break - Season 3 (2007) |
"Nothing wildly innovative here but the show provides tensely cut episodes and solid acting, most notably from Miller, the ever fascinating William Fichtner, and Robert Knepper (see the KPBS exclusive clip)." |
Beth Accomando |
Splat |
The Promotion (2008) |
"Tone and pace are absolutely crucial to comedy. If the tone is wrong or the pace is off - by even a hair - the comedy will shrivel up and die. And that's precisely what happens in The Promotion." |
Beth Accomando |
Tomato 10/10 |
Pulp Fiction (1994) |
"But what makes the film such wicked fun is the way Tarantino delivers the familiar with a twist. He continually prepares us for one thing and then delivers another." |
