Splat
2/4

Keeping Mum (2006)

"There's something immoral about a film that asks us to chuckle at the naughty murders of innocent people and then expects our hearts to swell when a husband and wife affirm their holy union. 'Saw III' has more integrity."

John Beifuss

Splat
'2/4'

Kids in America (2005)

"'Rock 'n' Roll High School' rejiggered for idealists, with the youngsters mobilizing for gay rights and freedom of speech instead of sneaking off to the Ramones."

John Beifuss

Tomato
4/4

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)

"If Tarantino's previous films had one foot set in the real world and one in the realm of pulp fiction, this pop culture fever dream represents blissful surrender to unreality..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)

"If 'Vol. 1' was pure cinema, composed entirely of pulp dreams, 'Vol. 2' finds the Bride awakening to the consequences of something approximating the real world..."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

Killer Diller (2006)

"This story of a vaguely Elvis-esque troublemaker who transforms the misfit gospel choir at a Baptist halfway house into a rockin' blues band could probably be screened at a real Baptist halfway house without controversy."

John Beifuss

Tomato
4/4

Killer of Sheep (1977)

"A time capsule of 1970s style and attitude that remains utterly timeless in its respect for its characters and its recognition of the despair, passion, boredom, playfulness and cruelty nurtured not just by life in the ghetto but by life itself."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

The King (2006)

"Programmed by the fatalistic filmmakers toward a cruel outcome, but the actors make it convincing..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

King Kong (2005)

"Jackson's ape is so fully realized as a specific 'realistic' character that he lacks the metaphorical resonance of the 1933 Kong, who seemed a creature captured from a nightmare rather than from nature."

John Beifuss

Splat
2/4

The Kingdom (2007)

"Berg tries to appeal to the post-9/11 action fan who wants to cheer a vengeful us-vs.-them bloodbath while also furrowing his brow over the waste of it all."

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

Kingdom of Heaven (2005)

"Scott wants to have his Crusade and rue it, too."

John Beifuss

Tomato
'3.5/4'

Kings and Queen (2005)

"Heroic and absurdist..."

John Beifuss

Splat
1.5/4

Kinky Boots (2006)

"Another 'naughty' British comedy for audiences who love 'Are You Being Served?' but don't want to know whether Mr. Humphries is really supposed to be gay."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

Kinsey (2004)

"At times, it's like a John Waters spoof of Andy Hardy; Kinsey remarks "Let's get back to masturbation!" while his wife asks "Is the pot roast too dry?""

John Beifuss

Splat
2.5/4

Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)

"The movie would be more interesting if it weren't photographed in the amber glow we associate with Kodak commercials and other happily-ever-after exercises in nostalgia."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

The Kite Runner (2007)

"A glossy and admirable condensation of the immensely popular novel..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Knocked Up (2007)

"A male fantasy of rescue from irrelevance..."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3/4

Knowing (2009)

"A wacked-out, quasi-religious 'Donnie Darko' for dummies... It earns my endorsement not because it's coherent but because it's so over the top it kept me engrossed for its full 122 minutes."

John Beifuss

Tomato
4/4

Kung Fu Hustle (2005)

"The humor may be lowbrow, but the Looney Tunes timing is impeccable."

John Beifuss

Tomato
3.5/4

Kung Fu Panda (2008)

"The most visually stunning cartoon yet from DreamWorks..."

John Beifuss
