[dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3.5/4      The Panic in Needle Park (1971)      "The Panic in the Needle Park rolls up the drug culture's sleeve and picks at the scabs underneath." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Paprika (2007)      "Reality and fantasy leak into each other in short-circuiting jolts in Kon's cosmos" [movie review]      CinePassion            Parade (1973)      "A distillation not of Jacques Tati per se, but of communal spectacle, creativity and creation, simply -- hence, cinema." [movie review]      CinePassion            Paradise Now (2005)      "The filmmaker keeps the thorny issues under control" [movie review]      CinePassion            Paranoia (1969)      "Umberto Lenzi takes the smooth Chabrolian veneer and spreads a little grime over it" [movie review]      CinePassion            Paranoid Park (2008)      "The teenager's impressionistic headspace is his canvas, layered like a Keats poem and scored like an iPod" [movie review]      CinePassion            Paranormal Activity (2009)      "Have we learned nothing from the Blair Witch hoax?" [movie review]      CinePassion            Paris Is Burning (1990)      "Hardly a drag. Fifteen years later, Paris still burns with life." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Paris Is Burning (1990)      "The beauty of the film is Livingston's nonjudgmental, accommodating camera." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Paris, Je T'aime (2007)      "Alluring, all in all, and unfulfilling" [movie review]      CinePassion       2.5/4      Parque Via (2009)      "With its ritualistic repetitions and concluding act of violence, Rivero's film is something of a pocket-book Jeanne Dielman." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Patsy (1964)      "Who is Jerry Lewis, and why is he funny when he's serious and serious when he's funny?" [movie review]      CinePassion            A Perfect Getaway (2009)      "A cunning, sideways-sneaking genre piece with both the fancy to surprise audiences and the adroit filmmaking to do so" [movie review]      CinePassion            Persepolis (2007)      "A gentle dance performed at the edge of the abyss" [movie review]      CinePassion       3.5/4      Phantom of the Paradise (1974)      "As in that other great musical spoof, The Girl Can't Help It, Phantom of the Paradise draws withering links between product and consumer." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)      "A tasteful rendition of a story that demanded a more macabre grasp." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       2/4      The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945)      "The Picture of Dorian Gray isn't awful, though it's certainly an instance in which an outright debacle would have made a much more interesting film." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Pieces (1983)      "The scariest thing is the Eighties score" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Pied Piper (1972)      "The malignant side of Jacques Demy's enchantment" [movie review]      CinePassion            Pigs, Pimps, And Prostitutes: 3 Films By Shohei Imamura: Pigs And Battleships / The Insect Woman / Intentions Of Murder (2009)      "Not a pillow-shot in sight in this trio of bracing provocations from one of Japanese cinema's great iconoclasts." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Pineapple Express (2008)      "Pretty bad" [movie review]      CinePassion       1.5/4      Pink Panther (2006)      "A leaden rehash that, finally materializing after repeated delays, is all too symptomatic of star Steve Martin's mushy recent choices." [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)      "Another piddling blockbuster with delusions of 'darkness'" [movie review]      CinePassion            Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006)      "The kind of sensory bombardment that replicates less a Disney theme-park ride than an extended stay at a Guantánamo base cell" [movie review]      CinePassion            Planet Terror (2007)      "Deduces that the nudging awareness and recreation of a genre's tropes is enough" [movie review]      CinePassion            Point of Order (1964)      "Was C-SPAN ever this taut? Come for McCarthy going down in flames, stay for the trenchant seeds of political media." [dvd review]      Slant Magazine       3/4      Point of Order (1964)      "An extended inquiry that, through de Emilio's editing strategies, emerges as both claustrophobic and cleansing. " [movie review]      Slant Magazine            Ponyo (2009)      "Hiyao Miyazaki, bless him, continues to be an analog guy in animation's increasingly digital world" [movie review]      CinePassion            Poseidon (2006)      "Let it drown" [movie review]      CinePassion            A Prairie Home Companion (2006)      "Life is fleeting, but A Prairie Home Companion, slender and perfect, proves that art endures as a reminder of it" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Prestige (2006)      "Risible inanity" [movie review]      CinePassion            Prime Cut (1972)      "Enchantingly perverse fairy-tale" [movie review]      CinePassion            Princess Raccoon (2005)      "A ride of a thousand delights" [movie review]      CinePassion            Private Fears in Public Places (2007)      "A graceful roundelay of disconnection" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933)      "Korda and his humorists make sure the usual biopic solemnity is not part of this royal court" [movie review]      CinePassion            Private Vices, Public Virtues (1976)      "Jancsó celebrates the political potential of chiaroscuro softcore couplings and fluidity of flesh" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Promise (2005)      "More risible than poetic" [movie review]      CinePassion            Proof (2005)      "Timid staging faithful adaptation = no cinema" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Proposition (2006)      "Ferocious yet free of shallow misanthropy" [movie review]      CinePassion            Public Enemies (2009)      "An experimental film masked as a studio blockbuster" [movie review]      CinePassion            Pulse (2005)      "Not just the scariest sample of J-horror I've yet seen, but also the most profound" [movie review]      CinePassion            The Pursuit of Happyness (2006)      "Counterfeit emotion and submerged racism" [movie review]      CinePassion            Push (2009)      "This entry in the superhero sweepstakes isn't without charm" [movie review]      CinePassion
