P.S. (2004) |
"A bitterly hysterical and nearly flawless film with two lead performances that aren't likely to be topped." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 2/10 |
The Pacifier (2005) |
"Could have just as easily played out in a three-minute montage that would have saved Disney a bunch of money, and allowed me to stay home and watch Gilmore Girls." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Palindromes (2005) |
"An intentionally awkward masterpiece." |

Tomato |
Pan Tadeusz |
"Beautifully filmed if you can pry your eyes away from the tough-to-read subtitles." |

Tomato |
Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"If Tim Burton and Jan Svankmejer had teamed up to make The Chronicles of Narnia, the result probably would have looked something like this picture." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Pandaemonium (2001) |
"The acting leads do well, especially Roache." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Panic (2000) |
"Each turns in great performances that keep the film interesting and fresh, despite the fact its content was lifted from the day-old rack at the Hollywood Food Market." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 9/10 |
Panic Room (2002) |
"A taut thriller that would have made Hitchcock proud." |

Paranoia 1.0 (2004) |
"Good, fun, dark, Midnight Movie-type fun." |

Party Monster (2003) |
"So awful, it’s almost good." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 6/10 |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"In terms of films based upon outlandish stories, I'm way more worried about how Alfonso Cuarón is going to handle the next Harry Potter movie." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
The Patriot (2000) |
"Simply looks amazing from the first frame to the last." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 6/10 |
Pauline and Paulette (2002) |
"Writer-director Debrauwer does manage to wrap things up in an ***-pleasing 78 minutes. It's isn't much, but it's a lot more than callous Callie Khouri did with that "Ya-Ya" mess. Also, there are no irritating hats." |
Jon Popick |

Pavee Lackeen (2005) |
"Couldn't get into this one." |

Pay It Forward (2000) |
"A button-pushing film with terrific acting, an interesting story and a really hokey ending." |

Paycheck (2003) |
"Affleck is just fine when he plays a regular guy, but whenever he tries to, like, act, he ends up looking like a perplexed and mildly retarded simian." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
Pearl Harbor (2001) |
"A shameless, cunning monster that has carefully checked and double-checked every important demographic of every potential moviegoer." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
The Perfect Storm (2000) |
"The perfect bore." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
Perfect Strangers (2003) |
"A cross between Cast Away and Swept Away, carefully flitting between the quality and pretentiousness of them both as it constantly reinvents itself." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Persepolis (2007) |
"It always seems like there's one very strong, very different animated film that gives the mundane, computer-generated 'toons a run for their money come Oscar time, and this is almost certainly going to be this year's version." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 9/10 |
Personal Velocity (2002) |
"The perfect blend of image and narrative." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Peter Pan (2003) |
"Ominous and surprisingly erotic." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
Phone Booth (2003) |
"There's a lot of really implausible stuff here, but that doesn't stop it from being a whole lot of fun." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Pianist (2002) |
"Wladyslaw's isolation is the only thing that really separates The Pianist from the scores of other films with similar content." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
The Piano Teacher (2002) |
"You really have to salute writer-director Haneke (he adapted Elfriede Jelinek's novel) for making a film that isn't nearly as graphic but much more powerful, brutally shocking and difficult to watch." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
Pickup on South Street (1953) |
"Opens with a scene that is downright dazzling, even by today's standards." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 8/10 |
Pieces of April (2003) |
"Like School of Rock, April isn't so much about telling a new story as it is about taking an old story and breathing some fresh air into it." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 1/10 |
Pink Panther (2006) |
"A movie clearly made for (and probably by) people of the retarded persuasion. If you enjoy it, odds are you're missing a chromosome. Or have an extra one, or something." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 6/10 |
The Pinochet Case (2002) |
"Aside from stumbling over some clunky visual metaphors Guzmán does a decent job of telling a story many outside Chile simply don't know." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |
"Would have been a complete nightmare if it weren't for Depp, whose character is an unholy melange of Captain Morgan, Dudley Moore, Keith Richards and Andy Dick." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
Pistol Opera (2001) |
"Whereas Kill was uproariously stylish via pop-noir, Opera goes in the opposite direction by concentrating much more on color, choreography, and composition than any kind of conventional narrative." |

Planet of the Apes (1968) |
"Examined difficult issues like bigotry and evolution in a unique and thought-provoking way, making it a whole lot more interesting than, say, 95% of the sci-fi films that followed it." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Planet of the Apes (2001) |
"Burton does, for the most part, a pretty decent job with his 'revisitation' of Apes." |

Play it to the Bone (1999) |

Poor White Trash (2000) |
"Trash isn't filled with stars, nor is it particularly well-written or evenly executed, but it's still a lot of fun to watch." |

Poseidon (2006) |
"Puts the 'less' in 'mindless.'" |

Possession (2002) |
"These two characters ought to be swallowing each others retainers, or having their moments of passion interrupted by an untimely asthma attack." |

Power and Terror: Noam Chomsky in Our Times (2002) |
"May have been more interesting if there were somebody from the Right responding to his views. It doesn't even have to be an equal to Chomsky – anyone will do." |
