Pink Floyd The Wall

Pink Floyd The Wall The Wall remains one of the greatest works of art to come out of the 20th century, an album that (along with The Who’s Tommy) redefined so called “rock operas” in such a way that it can never be topped. It came as little to no surprise that Hollywood would come […]

Pink Panther

Pink Panther Of all the memorable characters in the history of movie comedy, few are as revered as one Inspector Jacques Clouseau as played by Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther films that were directed by Blake Edwards. These films featured Sellers at his improvisational best, mixing physical humor with garbled dialogue in a mock […]

Pink Panther Strikes Again

Pink Panther Strikes Again The relationship between Peter Sellers’ Inspector Clouseau and Herbert Lom’s Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus is really and truly unlike any in the history of cinema: A famous, respected French police detective (who is thought of by most people to be a genius) and the man who knows him best, his boss […]

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End

Pirates Of The Caribbean: At World’s End After all the negative talk I’ve heard about this, I must say I came out of this pretty surprised and a little overwhelmed. This film is not nearly as bad as people say and is actually an improvement over the occasional slowness of Dead Man’s Chest. Yes, it […]

Plan 9 From Outer Space

Plan 9 From Outer Space Bad movies can best be described as an acquired taste, productions that are so awful in nearly every aspect (acting, writing, directing, etc.) that they achieve a kind of beyond enjoyable, surrealistic effect. While the history of cinema is filled with horrible movies in all genres (most of which are […]

Planes, Trains And Automobiles

Planes, Trains And Automobiles In a decade like the 1980s that was rife with movie comedy legends in their prime, the paradox in the career of the late John Candy was an interesting one. Long held up by many as being among the best of the era, Candy’s run differed from most in that he […]

Planet Terror

Planet Terror Considered by most to be the more over the top half of Grindhouse, Robert Rodriguez’s effort sadly still doesn’t live up to the more subtle and effective entry by Tarantino: Plot holes and lack of exposition clog up the film nearly from the beginning, starting with the confusing opening shootout at a military […]

Platoon

Platoon Among movies about the Vietnam War, there are four that stand out in cinema history as being the absolute best, not just about Nam, but as war movies in general, since obviously THAT war made for the most dramatic, cinematic content, and given the glut of lame, boring, whiny, preachy, and overly political films […]
