Panic Room (2002) |
"Foster fans will be underwhelmed with the smaller role Foster has in this film." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"an inspiring film, no matter what your faith.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 6/10 |
The Patriot (2000) |

Pavilion of Women (2001) |
"Interview with actress/screenwriter/producer Liu Yan." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Pay It Forward (2000) |
"an "attack of total altruism" embedded in a slightly simplistic movie, fronted with terrific actors.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Payback (1999) |
"This movie is packed with surprises, gunfire and humor; it's a fun action flick you shouldn't miss." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Peaceful Warrior (2006) |
"Admittedly, I suspected it might be kind of cheesy, but the film is directed with great grace and care. And the acting is solid. It's a beautiful film -- see it." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Pearl Harbor (2001) |
"Intermittently cliche, the film finds a way to answer each indulgent (sometimes laughable) moment of schmaltz with a genuine solid silver edgy moment someplace else." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Perfect Storm (2000) |
"Quite slow from the gate to half, where it rushes like a waterfall to the near end, it's a stirring ride, but not a must see film." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Peter Pan (2003) |
"Magical, whimsical, richly colored, paced to romp, sprinkled with fairy dust and fun. Return to your childhood with your children. Fun for all ages, and a good date flick too." |
Ross Anthony |
- |
The Pianist (2002) |
"The film clocks in around 2.5 hours. It's hard to watch, but important. You'll leave wanting to hug your family and play a musical instrument -- both with great passion.
(Director's Notes included in article)." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pieces of April (2003) |
"Nothing there to make me care about her much, still the picture is entertaining and surprisingly emotional as it rounds up with a strong dose of heart.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
Piglet's Big Movie (2003) |
"Forget about deadlines, taxes and politics: the most important things in the world are mom, cookies, crayons, and good friends. And the only thing that can hinder a day full of directionless play and bouncing around is a bath." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pineapple Express (2008) |
"Despite the "smoking pot" refrain, PE finds a way to charm. These guys really seem to enjoy each others' company and are happy to welcome you into their little group." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pink Panther (2006) |
"While the flat site gags never quite disappear, they're offset by an equal number of bits that'll keep you in stitches. It's good (mostly clean) light fun.
" |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Pink Panther 2 (2009) |
"Martin's first Pink Panther actually tickled me. Sadly, this time, flat gags & off-color innuendoes double in quantity, while sincerely funny bits wane to a mere handful." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"Despite its length and failure to sell a love story, I mostly enjoyed this buoyant surreal adventure." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |
"Before it becomes redundant, the action is truly fun and classically swashbuckling." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Pirates of the Great Salt Lake (2006) |
"A fun film with a quirky sense of humor. Enjoys poking fun at Pirates of the Caribbean and in my humble opinion, it's a better film too. Think Napoleon Dynamite." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 1.5/4 |
Pitch Black (2000) |
"makes a better platform for a beginning astronomy class than action-packed thriller." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (2007) |
"Amusing, interesting and odd, then begins to drag." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1/4 |
Planet of the Apes (2001) |
"Monkeying Around." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Play it to the Bone (1999) |
"picture never quite pops." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 3/10 |
The Pledge (2001) |
"Moving with the speed of a paddle-boat upstream, the bulk of the movie is about as exciting as watching someone fish." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 5/10 |
Pokémon the Movie 2000 (2000) |
"Total, there were maybe three references in the dialogue that an adult might find clever or cute." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 5/10 |
Pollock (2000) |
"The production, like Pollack's life, feels truncated and unfulfilled." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Precious: Based on the Novel PUSH by Sapphire (2009) |
"Stark, unforgiving, brutally honest, and yet... precious." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1/4 |
The Prestige (2006) |
"Clever story up the sleeve, but nothing in the way of the wonder of magic. Honestly, I found the mood rather miserable." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Price of Milk (2001) |
"The picture is well paced, from the standpoint of intensity and comic relief placement." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Pride and Prejudice (2005) |
"The best parts of the film are the punctuation. The moments away from all that rambling clever dialogue." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Prime (2005) |
"Not very funny, I didn't like it." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Prince of Egypt (1998) |
"the people at DreamWorks put their brushes to the film with the spirit Moses put his staff in the mighty Nile, lighting it up with the eerie color of bloodshed." |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Princess Diaries (2001) |
"Those in the target audience will love it." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 5/10 |
Proof of Life (2000) |
"A full fifty-minute lull abducts all but one moment of spectacle from film." |
|
Splat 1.5/4 |
Proof of Life (2000) |
"Crowe's commanding performance stands out too strongly against the backdrop of this awkwardly paced, off balance production." |
Ross Anthony |

Psycho (1960) |
"Janet Leigh in the shower again." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Punch-Drunk Love (2002) |
"This is no "Waterboy!"" |
Ross Anthony |
Tomato 2.4/4 |
The Punisher (2004) |
"This is not a very good movie, but it's fun -- intentionally, and not. Rather consistently uneven." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 1/4 |
The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) |
"A string of annoyances that no doubt riddled the real life of Chris Gardner, but when put in a Hollywood film, feel quite set up like dominos that fall with cliché timing." |
Ross Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Pushing Tin (1999) |
"Nice take off and landing, but the flight was rather uneventful." |
