Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"An amusing time-travel theme plus Hugh Jackman in his dashing Duke's uniform and Meg Ryan looking as perky as ever -- what more could incurable romantics ask for?" |

Tomato 8/10 |
The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) |
"Thankfully The King of Kong plays it straight and let's the players speak for themselves. In this case, the filmmakers may be giving their subjects just enough rope, as the saying goes." |

The Kingdom (2007) |
"'The Kingdom' manages to successfully tackle its touchy subject matter in the spirit of an intense shoot-'em-up action movie." |

The Kingdom (2007) |

Kolya (1996) |
"With his big sad eyes, Andrej Chalimon pulls us lovingly and completely into Kolya's life. He's simply perfect as a little Russian refugee in this poignant movie treasure." |
