The Painted Veil (2006) |
"Finds just the right balance between the familiar and the surprising to become one of the season's best entertainments." |

Panic Room (2002) |
"Redefines "edge of your seat."" |

Paper Clips (2004) |
"Nothing more sophisticated than a cheery newsmagazine segment with a seriously confused point of view and no desire to engage the audience honestly." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat D |
The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"If what you are looking for is an overwrought, hyper-violent reenactment of Jesus' final hours, that is what you will get here, and no more." |

Paycheck (2003) |
"Appealingly silly for most of the way, and then stunningly, unfathomably absurd in its climax." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C- |
Peaceful Warrior (2006) |
"The material is so aggressively stupid and ill-considered that only the laughable 'based on true events' title card can explain its successful journey to the big screen." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C- |
Pearl Harbor (2001) |
"Pearl Harbor makes a mockery of the tragedy, turning it into mindless mass entertainment with a PG-13 rating." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
Penelope (2008) |
"This out-of-nowhere wonder charms from the first frame to the last, and joins Charlie Bartlett on the list of early-2008 films that are both wholesome and intelligent." |
Eugene Novikov |

The Perfect Man (2005) |
"This is a monumentally bad film, the kind that only comes along once in, oh, I don't know... Three years? Five?" |

Personal Velocity (2002) |
"Facile and simplistic, spurting out the same hyper-feminist platitudes that I thought had been long abandoned" |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
Peter Pan (2003) |
"Has the courage to imagine Peter Pan as a tragic figure, the ultimate narcissist." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Phone Booth (2003) |
"Still a good movie: taut, tight, spare, invigorating. With a better filmmaker at the helm it could have been a great movie, a modern classic." |

Pieces of April (2003) |
"Pieces of April looks like it is charming most of those who see it, but I was irritated by its artifice." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
Piglet's Big Movie (2003) |
"Basic, lively and sweet" |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Pineapple Express (2008) |
"This is a mightily strange movie, at times very funny; I can certainly recommend it to those who are curious about it. Those who can't stand being around stoners may like it less." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A |
Ping Pong (2002) |
"Perhaps the best sports movie I've ever seen." |
Eugene Novikov |

Pinocchio (2002) |
"Seriously, rent the Disney version." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"Once the creaky plot finally gets the characters where they need to be, the stage is set for the film's splendid last hour, which at last manages to approach Black Pearl's magic." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) |
"The cliffhanger ending provides some hope that the imminent third film will restore some of what is missing from this one." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato A- |
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |
"High adventure, high comedy and high camp." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
Pitch Black (2000) |
"At least as much as The Blair Witch Project before it, Pitch Black shows us how disconcerting total darkness can be." |

Poseidon (2006) |
"But for a couple of expensive shots, Wolfgang Petersen's film plays like a particularly well-made anonymous made-for-tv disaster adventure. It's pretty good, but it is what it is." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat D |
Possession (2002) |
"A shockingly horrid effort from acclaimed writer-director Neil LaBute, who does much better work when his characters spend their time being nasty to each other." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
A Prairie Home Companion (2006) |
"Pleasant, almost calming, a reverie of mood and character I could easily enter more than once." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C+ |
Premonition (2007) |
"Yes, in the end Premonition slips through our fingers, but by gum, it's interesting, and one of the most abstract mainstream releases I've seen in a long time." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Prey for Rock & Roll (2003) |
"Either very cynical or quite naive, and that title suggests the former." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
Pride (2007) |
"First-time director Sunu Gonera and his battalion of screenwriters have a beginner's flair for ruining nice moments with sickly-sweet excess." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B+ |
Prime (2005) |
"The kind of film that will be widely referred to as 'cute,' but this is the rare case where "cute" does not translate to 'insulting.'" |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B |
The Prince of Egypt (1998) |
"It is a more than decent adaptation of the classic tale, one that, despite what I have said in the previous paragraph, never talks down to its audience." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
The Princess and the Frog (2009) |
"It's a decent enough throwback, but a comeback will have to wait." |
Eugene Novikov |
Splat C |
Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004) |
"The entire exercise is about 'fun,' of course, but Marshall and Co. are so intent on shoving it down our throats that the first instinct is to rebel and be grouchy." |
