The Page Turner (2007)

"this taut little film is a psychological thriller about revenge. If the Japanese horror adaptation hadn't already used the title THE GRUDGE, that might have served as a more appropriate title for this drama."

Paprika (2007)

"PAPRIKA adds quite a dash of spice to the anime genre and offers a fun ride."

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006)

"Tykwer's direction is solid, Whishaw lends a weight to the character and despite having little dialogue delivers a masterful performance. Of the large supporting cast, [Rachel] Hurd-Wood is a pleasant surprise and Alan Rickman as her protective father off"

The Piano Tuner of Earthquakes (2006)

"The Quay brothers have created a gloriously gorgeous filmwith wondrous set pieces that have been beautifully shot inburnished tones by cinematographer Nic Knowland. It's a dark and disturbing fairy tale that fans of the brothers' work will embrace."

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)

"I enjoyed this ride the least of the three, but I did have fun."

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)

"I had a ball watching the film as it careened from set piece to set piece, whether it be a chase scene, a sword fight or a battle on the seas."

A-

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)

" The whole feature film is one giant ride -- which considering its origins is perhaps to be expected. ... Depp gives his loosest and looniest performance yet -- and it is spectacular."

Tomato
B

Poison Friends (2007)

"There are some schematics at work in the screenplay, but the film proves to be an entertaining, if frustrating, experience."

Ted Murphy

C

Poseidon (2006)

"The entire cast tries gamely to make the lame dialogue work, with some succeeding more than others. ... What salvages the film are the action sequences and the special effects."

B

A Prairie Home Companion (2006)

"The film ... contains some wonderful moments but added together they don't coalesce into something special. This isn't Altman at his best ... nor is it Altman at his worst. Still, middling Altman is far superior to a lot of the dreck playing in movie thea"

Premonition (2007)

"This film wants to be a twisty thriller but ends up something of a misogynistic mess which leaves its leading lady stranded."

Ted Murphy

Tomato
A-

The Prestige (2006)

"I'm sure that multiple viewings of the movie will bring out the richness and the details, but even on first viewing, I was completely and totally engrossed."

Ted Murphy

Tomato
B-

Pride (2007)

"Howard anchors the film with a charismatic turn. He doesn't turn Ellis into a plaster saint but portrays a complex and complicated man."

Ted Murphy

Tomato
B+

Private Fears in Public Places (2007)

"Resnais and his superb cast have poured their hearts into this film adaptation and anyone seeking mature entertainment should search for this gem."

Ted Murphy

Tomato
A-

The Proposition (2006)

"Cave's screenplay is masterful in taking the trappings of the western genre and transposing them to the Australian Outback. There's an ebb and flow to his writing and there's also the sense that tragedy is inevitable. He also manages to work in the dep"

Provoked (2007)

" PROVOKED: A TRUE STORY sets out to tell an important story in the history of the British judicial system. Unfortunately, the project was undertaken by filmmakers who seemingly didn't know how to handle the implications of the story they wanted to tell."

Ted Murphy

Puccini for Beginners (2007)

"Granted, there aresome amusing moments, but I can see someone making a drinking game of the DVD -- every time Allegra says "I'm a lesbian" take a swig. Oops! You'll be in an alcohol-induced coma fairly quickly."

Ted Murphy
