Splat F	Paranoid Park (2008)	"Paranoid Park confirms that Gus Van Sant is so far up his own artistic anus, it's impossible to take anything he makes seriously anymore...a crisp, white hanky doused with cinematic chloroform pressed tightly across the face."	Brian Orndorf
Splat C	Paranormal Activity (2009)	"For a film already at the lower end of professional polish, the acting makes the whole shebang feel like a community theater rehearsal. I was half-expecting Corky St. Clair to show up as a spirit."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B+	Parenthood (1989)	"Howard juggles all the characters effortlessly, showcasing troubles left and right without losing the film to gloom. It's nimble work, blessed with a cast that knows exactly what they're reaching for in their performances."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B-	Paul Blart: Mall Cop (2009)	"The end product won't win any Oscars, but the edges of this slapstick action film retain James's blitzkrieg sense of humor, making for a light comic adventure I'm positive kids will flip for."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D	A Perfect Getaway (2009)	"A cringingly self-aware, painfully verbose, and somewhat smug motion picture, Getaway is itching to keep audiences guessing, but it's far more successful at putting viewers to sleep."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B-	Pineapple Express (2008)	"Climaxing with a Donneresque sock-em conclusion, complete with massive gunfire, Korean hitmen, and Daewoo finishing moves, Express has just enough gas in the tank to arrive at its final destination with a sufficient level of fogged goodwill"	Brian Orndorf
Splat C	Pink Cadillac (1989)	"While the script stumbles beyond a comforting sense of reality (white supremacists?), Pink Cadillac maintains a certain hospitable, emphatically dim-witted appeal."	Brian Orndorf
Splat C-	The Pink Panther 2 (2009)	"It's just depressing to find the picture unwilling to deviate from the broad comedy spectrum, preferring the warm comfort of mediocrity and halfhearted response over a steamrolling comedic contraption that would genuinely surprise."	Brian Orndorf
Splat C	Pirate Radio (2009)	"Pirate Radio is a flawed piece of work, at times utterly paralyzed by muddled whimsy. It'll take some effort from the viewer to sort through this cluttered feature film."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B-	Play the Game (2009)	"Truly an oddball motion picture, Game is one part smutty romp, one part romantic comedy, with the entertainment value of the feature resting solely in how uncomfortably blunt it can get."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato A-	Ponyo (2009)	"Heartwarming, graciously surreal, and pure eye candy, Ponyo is an elevating fantasy that swims enthusiastically in delightfully unexpected directions."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D+	Post Grad (2009)	"Hopes to be many things to many different audiences. It's a meandering mess of a motion picture, enlivened by a few performances, but ultimately, and quite aggressively, ineffectual and dreary."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B+	Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009)	"Hits several staggering low points, but the humanity is never far from view, and while uncomfortable to process at times, the film retains an impressive dramatic grip through unimaginable horror. Tyler Perry could learn a thing or two from this approach."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B+	Pride and Glory (2008)	"A superlative demonstration of a brotherhood-of-the-badge stranglehold, rooting itself in outstanding character composition to alleviate the worry of clich�. It's a wonderfully compelling drama, bruised to near-perfection."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B	The Princess and the Frog (2009)	"A joyful lap around familiar Mouse House artistic elements, looking to help rebuild the kingdom brand name with a cushy tale of a princess, smooch-happy amphibians, and the grandeur of turn-of-the-century New Orleans."	Brian Orndorf
Tomato B+	The Private Lives of Pippa Lee (2009)	"Wright is the miracle this picture needs, helping the material achieve an emotional tempo it wouldn't otherwise reach without her stellar contribution."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D-	Prom Night (2008)	"The new Prom Night is insistently lifeless, which I think is worse than simply being awful. At least awful has some personality to it...the defanged slasher movement once again lays a rotten egg."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D+	The Proposal (2009)	"Regardless of the changes in setting and leading men, this is still Bullock running off the same old battery, and the fatigue is becoming increasingly difficult to cover up."	Brian Orndorf
Splat D+	Public Enemies (2009)	"Visually, Enemies is pure, reckless masturbation, picking exhaustive immediacy over needed finesse and restraint. For those expecting a chic thrill ride of cops and robbers, Public Enemies is not that picture."	Brian Orndorf
Splat F	Punisher: War Zone (2008)	"A picture of deliberate stupidity and derivative artistry, Punisher: War Zone is so atrocious it makes professional wrestling look like a whimsical afternoon with Shakespeare in the Park by comparison."	Brian Orndorf
