Splat

P.S. (2004)

"When the film dispenses with its Harlequinish plot foolishness and flies on the director's considerable instinct, it's a gas."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

P2 (2007)

"Doesn't exactly advance the genre -- think Red Eye with twice the gore and triple the dumb -- but some above-the-call performances and a nifty use of its setting make this two-hander a genuinely creepy diversion."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Paradise Now (2005)

"Functions as an absorbing melodrama first, and screed second."

Andrew Wright

Paradise Now (2005)

"Interview with Hany Abu-Assad"

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Paranormal Activity (2009)

"Peli's method of imbuing everyday objects -- a slightly ajar door, a swinging chandelier, a (gulp) strangely rumpled bedsheet -- with an atmosphere of ball-crawling dread is really something to see. It doesn't let up."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

The Passenger (1975)

"One of the clearest representations of the director's worldview, in which the epic landscapes and camera movements eerily mirror a character's inner life ... or lack of one."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

A Perfect Getaway (2009)

"Taut, propulsive, and supremely confident, it functions as both a far-above-average thriller and a riotous p*** take on the conventions of its genre."

Andrew Wright

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

"Interview with Tom Tykwer"

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

"Keeps the essence which made the novel such a scabrous, compelling read ... even in January, this deliriously loopy black comedy just may be the film of the year."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Pineapple Express (2008)

"Divvied up into YouTube lengths, it'd be awesome. Seen as a whole, it comes worryingly close to the feature-length equivalent of Burt Reynolds slapping Dom DeLuise during the end credits to The Cannonball Run."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Place Promised in Our Early Days (2004)

"Eschews the standard deathdroids and fuzzy critters for a more grounded, hard SF approach. Shinkai's debut ... falls prey to a frustrating feedback loop of a plot."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Ponyo (2009)

"Several notches below [Hayao Miyazaki's] masterworks, which makes it only, oh, super-duper wonderful ... it makes big magic, seemingly effortlessly."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Poseidon (2006)

"[The] queasy nods toward realism ... ultimately scuttle any lingering hopes of escapism. The genre just wasn't made for these times. "

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Il Posto (1961)

"a [neo-realism] classic that, thanks to a steadily mounting undercurrent of Kafka absurdism, is as easy to actually enjoy as well as admire."

Andrew Wright

Splat

The Prestige (2006)

"The Prestige is rife with philosophical ambiguities, and I wish I could say it uses them well."

Annie Wagner

Tomato

Primer (2004)

"May very well be one of the best American movies of the year, and I'll be damned if I understood more than 40 percent of it."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Primeval (2007)

"The CGI wonks here have created a beaut ... Watching him clumsily gallumpf through the tall grass at top speed in search of vittles is worth a few bucks, at least."

Andrew Wright

Tomato

Pulse (2005)

"Kurosawa's concept of an instant-messenger-aided apocalypse is honestly one of the eeriest, most lyrical visions I've ever seen on a screen."

Andrew Wright

Splat

Pulse (2006)

"Captures almost none of the original's ambience, piling on the rote, head-banging shocks in lieu of clammy ambiguity."

Andrew Wright
