P.D. James - A Mind to Murder (1996) |
"One of the best set of police procedurals ever presented on PBS' 'Mystery' series, based on the writing of master English author, P.D. James." |
Jules Brenner |

P.D. James - A Taste for Death (2002) |
"Commander Dalgliesh, a complex man who struggles in his personal and philosophical life to maintain balance and understanding of the extremes of human nature." |

P.D. James - Death of an Expert Witness (2002) |
"From P.D. James, the series features Commander Adam Dalgliesh of
Scotland Yard as portrayed by the singular Roy Marsden." |
Jules Brenner |

P.D. James - Shroud for a Nightingale (2002) |
"Dalgliesh is aptly described as a smart detective with a poet's soul - and Marsden fiercely lives up to the characterization. A
man you'd like to get to know." |

P.S. (2004) |
"I wish I could say I can't wait to see Kidd's next movie, but I can't say that. I can wait. I can wait just fine." |

The Painted Veil (2006) |
"Stands creatively with the best from Merchant/Ivory Productions." |

Pan's Labyrinth (2006) |
"By juxtaposing inhuman military brutality with the idealism and imagery of a fairy tale, del Toro integrates the two, creating a credible tension between both." |

The Passion of the Christ (2004) |
"If Gibson imagined that this extended detailing of sadism would somehow be inspirational, he needs to be taken off his biblical steroids." |

Paycheck (2003) |
"Affleck is no Schwarzenegger but director Woo works with what he's got. With Uma Thurman as the action sidekick/love interest, how bad can it be?" |

Perfume de Violetas (2004) |
"Lest you think this a story about flowers and fragrances, let me dash the image. This is not pretty and doesn't smell so nice." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (2006) |
"A whole new take on the concept, The Scent of a Woman. But, really, all this perfumer-extraordinaire wants to do is bottle it." |
Jules Brenner |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Persepolis (2007) |
"There's a good lesson here about Iranian history but it's not exactly gripping material. Amounts pretty much to a "so what?"" |
Jules Brenner |

La Petite Lili (2004) |
"Sagnier plays her sensuality for all it's worth... which is undisguised and
considerable, and provides the glue for a tale that could easily come apart." |

Phone Booth (2003) |
"My appreciation extends to the creators who, instead of falling in love with
their creation, keep it going only as long as its suspense is sustainable,
turning in that rare film that plays under 90 minutes." |

Piece By Piece (2004) |
"Perhaps the definitive film work on the subject, though the psychology motivating it is left for the analysts and may well be the subject of much more study." |
Jules Brenner |

Pieces of April (2003) |
"The predictability factor is as steady as a simmering saute but there's enough
spice in the company of lead Katie Holmes to make this a savory meal." |
Jules Brenner |

Pirate Radio (2009) |
"Though it gets a bit stuffy belowdecks at times, the soundtrack, and the comedic package of oddball humanity that keeps its vibe going, remain buoyant." |
Jules Brenner |

Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007) |
"The entertainment life raft to be found in these waters is the aura of mystery and adventure provided by a masterful technical crew." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006) |
"What "Dead Man's Chest" lacks in originality compared to its predecessor is compensated for by sheer, masterfully executed excess." |

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) |
"Johnny Depp rules the roost, and the mainsails, the masts, the bilge,
the seas and all challenges on land.
...rascally good fun and an entertainment level Disney can bank on." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Plagues and Pleasures on the Salton Sea (2007) |
"A sad but interesting sociological study of a not completely abandoned desert outpost that seems to be saying, "where there's water there will be humanity."" |

The Pornographer (2001) |
"The scenes in which the porno films are being made stand out, but with a 108 minute sit and an awkward narrative it isn't even salvaged by calling it French cinema." |

The Prestige (2006) |
"The obsessive-compulsive disorder that propels the drama into a miasma of misplaced morality is as fascinating as it is designed to be with perhaps a repetition or two that takes some edge off the otherwise crisp showmanship." |

Pride and Glory (2008) |
"A crime drama about a family of cops discovering corruption in its ranks--co-written, directed and produced by two sons of cops. You're bound to come up with something very muscular, even if it's entirely derivative." |
Jules Brenner |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Pride and Prejudice (2005) |
"This uncommon film of romance demonstrates what's possible from a classic novel. Jane Austen hasn't been in such good hands since "Sense and Sensibility" of 1995." |
