Splat	Palindromes (2005)	"Worthless... another steaming, audience-flattering load of snickering misanthropy and pointless provocations from the increasingly irrelevant Todd Solondz."	Sean Burns
Tomato	Panic Room (2002)	"There's nothing at all wrong with Panic Room, except that it should have been better."	Sean Burns
Tomato	Paranoid Park (2008)	"Yup, Van Sant is in trance mode again, and he hasn't adapted Blake Nelson's novel so much as shattered it into a hypnotic drift of alienation and reverie. The movie haunts."	Sean Burns
Splat	Paris (2009)	"Were it possible for The City of Light to see Nashville or Manhattan, it would probably want to sue for defamation."	Sean Burns
Tomato	The Passion of the Christ (2004)	"One of the most overpowering experiences I've ever had in a movie theater, the film is a brutal, blood-soaked plea for compassion and forgiveness in the face of monstrosity."	Sean Burns
Splat	The Passion Recut (2005)	"You don't usually get to see movies castrated in public, but Mel Gibson has just robbed his own film of its unique, transgressive power."	Sean Burns
Splat	Pearl Harbor (2001)	"The worst thing to happen to movies in the past decade--a bold-faced negation of art, craft, emotion and importance."	Sean Burns
Tomato	Phone Booth (2003)	"Larry Cohen's script is so clever, crafty and resilient that even a moron like Joel Schumacher can't ruin it... Not that he doesn't try his damnedest."	Sean Burns
Tomato	Pineapple Express (2008)	"A warm and fuzzy sendup of Reagan-era action-film iconography, it's sort of like what might happen if Cheech and Chong played Tango and Cash."	Sean Burns
Splat	Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)	"Such a tangled thicket of overwritten, labyrinthine mythology, backstabbing betrayals and mixed motivations that a massive chunk of the running time is devoted to characters standing around on boats, trying like hell to explain the plot to one another."	Sean Burns
Splat	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)	"...the fool thing just keeps going and going... and going. (Does a Pirates sequel really need to be five minutes longer than GoodFellas?) The flick should've felt like a sugary snack, not a hot-dog eating contest."	Sean Burns
Splat	Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)	"It's a marvelous day for corporate synergy. Somebody either deserves a raise or should be shot at sunrise."	Sean Burns
Tomato	The Pledge (2001)	"Steeped in an almost unbearable sadness, dense with moral ambiguity it stubbornly withholds comfort at every startling turn."	Sean Burns
Splat	Pollock (2000)	"...can't ever seem to find its way out of Denis Leary's all-purpose tortured artist biopic template: 'I'm drunk, I'm nobody. I'm drunk, I'm famous. I'm drunk, I'm dead.'"	Sean Burns
Tomato	Poseidon (2006)	"It's a compact, satisfying formula genre piece that delivers the goods with a minimum of foolishness. And man, does this guy know how to sink a boat."	Sean Burns
Tomato	A Prairie Home Companion (2006)	"A small movie about big things, A Prairie Home Companion is a freewheeling grab-bag of moments both comic and tragic, tied together by Altman's stubborn, unyielding assertion that all good things --including life itself-- must soon come to an end."	Sean Burns
Splat	Priceless (2008)	"They're awful cute together, even if they're awful people."	Sean Burns
Tomato	Primer (2004)	"A thrilling, eventually hollow intellectual exercise. Carruth's a major talent (particularly his editing-- which surfs the edge of incoherence without ever quite capsizing.)"	Sean Burns
Tomato	The Princess and The Warrior (2001)	"It's a fascinating mix, even when the straight-faced melodrama clangs against such wicked, poker-faced absurdism."	Sean Burns
Splat	The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio (2005)	"A lot of the time it feels like Angela's Ashes have been scattered in Pleasantville."	Sean Burns
Splat	Proof (2005)	"Resolutely uncinematic, Auburn's tale of a maybe mathematics prodigy feels thin and underpopulated. Some plays are better left on the stage."	Sean Burns
Tomato	The Proposition (2006)	"One vicious, hypnotic piece of work -- a stark slow burner with heavy biblical overtones that builds to a jarring climax... you know, kind of like a Nick Cave song. "	Sean Burns
Tomato	Public Enemies (2009)	"A wonky art-house curio disguised as a summer blockbuster... it's also one hell of a Western."	Sean Burns
Tomato	Punch-Drunk Love (2002)	"A cockamamie tone poem pitched between swoony lyricism and violent catastrophe... the most aggressively nerve-wracking and neurotic romantic comedy in cinema history."	Sean Burns
Splat	The Punisher (2004)	"Where's Dolph Lundgren when you need him? "	Sean Burns
