Panic Room (2002)
"Director David Fincher is on cruise control here, his ambition apparently sated by the knockout title sequence and jazzy camerawork."
The Passion of the Christ (2004)
"'A Biblical snuff film'"
Splat 1/5
Patch Adams (1998)
"The whole thing plays like a really long Robin Williams' talk show appearance with a plot slapped on."
Splat 7/10
The Patriot (2000)
"The next time Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich decide to crank out another of their manipulative popcorn epics, I hope they'll stick to aliens and giant lizards and leave our history alone."
Splat 3/5
Pay It Forward (2000)
"The movie suffers from Mimi Leder's ham-handed direction, a script that takes the novel's disparate subplots and ties them into a too-tidy bow, and a climactic visual shamelessly ripped-off from Field of Dreams."
Pearl Harbor (2001)
"Two-thirds cheesy love story and one-third fireworks extravaganza."
Tomato 4/5
The People Vs. Larry Flynt (1996)
"The story may be candy-coated, but it's still delicious candy."
Tomato 8/10
The Perfect Storm (2000)
"As for the storm, I found Wolfgang Petersen's direction so engrossing that I failed to evaluate the quality of the special effects."
Splat 2.5/5
Permanent Midnight (1998)
"Permanent Midnight offers nothing we haven't seen before."
Tomato 3.5/5
The Pillow Book (1997)
Plan 9 from Outer Space (1956)
"When it's really bad, it's good. The rest is just dull."
Planet of the Apes (2001)
"Gives us another chance to experience the skewed vision of Tim Burton."
Play it to the Bone (1999)
"Suffers from a meandering, anemic screenplay and ungainly structure."
Playing By Heart (1998)
Tomato 5/5
Pleasantville (1998)
"Ambitious, ingenious and visually breathtaking!"

Practical Magic (1998)
The Preacher's Wife (1996)
"Memorable Christmas movies work when they convey sentiment in a genuine fashion. The Preacher's Wife is destined to become a holiday classic."
The Prince of Egypt (1998)
"A well- acted, great-looking movie!"
Private Parts (1997)
"A entertaining, surprisingly traditional biopic; liberally peppered with Stern's gross-out humor."
Proof of Life (2000)
"Proof of Life takes a great idea and turns it into an overlong exercise in missed opportunities."
Splat 2/5
Psycho (1998)
"Van Sant's pseudo-Xerox is flat, mannered and often downright boring!"
Tomato 4/4
Pumpkin (2002)
"Although there are many juicy supporting performances, Christina Ricci owns this movie. What a wonderful talent, and what a maddening, but enjoyable film."
