The Painted Veil (2006) |
"This adaptation of the W. Somerset Maugham novel contains more anger and sexuality -- altogether more passion -- than other beautifully appointed period films of its class." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"Technically magnificent and flawlessly acted, the picture incorporates 20th century Spanish history and classic fairy-tale elements in a way that seems completely new." |

Paris, Je T'aime (2007) |
"Its 18 vignettes show Paris as a big city like any other, with the attendant street crime and disparity between haves and have-nots. It's just that the architecture, clothes and people are more handsome than in most cities." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Party Girl (1995) |
"Parker Posey will either grate on your nerves or charm the daylights out of you -- or both." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Party Monster (2003) |
"It's a cinematic party, one long, strung-out bash that starts out as a novelty and turns into something resembling forced fun before morphing into a bummer." |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"Working with premier cinematographer Caleb Deschanel, Gibson effectively hurls us into Christ's living nightmare, creating a mesmerizing twilight zone that is creepy and utterly unforgettable." |

Pauly Shore is Dead (2004) |
"It works as a throwaway joke -- occasionally funny and often shamelessly tasteless. And it also helps if you like Shore." |

Pearl Harbor (2001) |
"Bursting with American patriotism and an avid, shamelessly old-fashioned romantic spirit, Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor comes on like the Marines to save what's been a moribund movie year so far." |

The Perfect Man (2005) |
"The film's execution is as bad as its conception. Scenes just lie there until the family does something hackneyed like erupt into song and dance in their living room." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
A Perfect Murder (1998) |

Perfect Stranger (2007) |
"Willis and Berry's joint star power makes their exchanges at least moderately interesting. But their characters' supposed banter never reaches wittiness, and the cat-and-mouse angle is too mild." |

Persepolis (2007) |
"With poignancy, humor and evocative animation, Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud, who co-wrote and co-directed, detail a coming of age that coincided with the deterioration of a nation." |

Pink Flamingos (1972) |
"While the film now looks primitive and even more amateurish, it is laudable, if that's the right word, because unlike most movies being made these days, almost everything that happens in it is absolutely, horrifyingly real." |

Pink Panther (2006) |
