Ken Hanke

Ken Hanke

Tomato
5/5

Splat
0/5

King Kong (1976)

"Amusing giant monster nonsense."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

King of Hearts (1967)

Tomato
4/5

The King of Kings (1927)

"Typically overblown DeMille epic succeeds as breathtaking kitsch."

Ken Hanke

Splat
.5/5

King's Ransom (2005)

"Spurn King's Ransom as you would spurn a rabid weasel. "

Ken Hanke

Splat
3/5

The Kingdom (2007)

"A so-so action flick that wants to be taken for something profound with a capital 'P.'"

Ken Hanke

Splat
2.5/5

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

"The movie flirts with ideas and then runs away from them, so ultimately, it's not much more than a dishonest, spectacular bore."

Ken Hanke

Splat

Kiss Me Deadly (1955)

Tomato
4/5

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Kitchen Stories (2004)

"Not the sort of film you'd want a steady diet of, but as a change of pace from the ordinary, it's well worth a look."

Tomato
4/5

The Kite Runner (2007)

5/5

"Everything about the film feels genuine and uncalculated, and it finally comes across as one joyous celebration of life and of being alive."

Ken Hanke

Tomato
4/5

Knife in the Water (1963)

"Attests to the idea that Polanski was from the very onset, a filmmaker with a singular and disturbing vision. His is clearly a cinema of obsession."

Splat
2/5

Knightriders (1981)

"Way overlong romanticized nonsense about bikers."

Ken Hanke
