K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"K-19 will not go down in the annals of cinema as one of the great submarine stories, but it is an engaging and exciting narrative of Man confronting the Demons of his own fear and paranoia." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
K-Pax (2001) |
"Manages to intrigue without overplotting and uplift without overmanipulating." |

Kandahar (2001) |
"Ultimately works far better as an educational tool than as a traditional narrative-bound motion picture." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kansas City (1996) |
"A sadly ordinary motion picture, and, in less sure hands, it might have been something of an unfortunate mess. Even with Altman at the helm, however, it manages to be singularly unremarkable." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"Delivers the kind of warm, familiar mixed brew of romance, humor, light drama, and pleasant character interaction that has made many of Ryan's similar endeavors successful box office performers." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1/4 |
Kazaam (1996) |
"This is as witless as movies come -- an unamusing, moronic blend of horrible acting and inept screenwriting." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Keeping the Faith (2000) |
"Only sporadically funny." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006) |
"Director Lu Chuan took his lumps by filming the movie on location in an inhospitable locale, but his decision to do so is validated by the final result." |

Kickin' It Old Skool (2007) |
"I hope Jamie Kennedy has a huge fan base because I can't see anyone else paying hard-earned money to sit through this." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kicking & Screaming (1995) |
"What's on screen is just a little too familiar to be worth lauding." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kids (1995) |
"Kids shows what transpires when children are set adrift in a heartless world, and warns us what happens -- and is already happening -- in the absence of love and guidance." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kika (1994) |
"Almodovar's central parody is strong enough to save this film from floundering too much or too often. It's daring and nasty, but rarely brilliant." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"As a whole, Kill Bill might be an entertaining product, but, after seeing Volume 1, I was insulted." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) |
"The second movie is less kinetic but more satisfying." |

King Kong (2005) |
"With a wizard at the helm, there are times when re-makes can be glorious things." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
King of California (2007) |
"Unfortunately, first-time director Mike Cahill spends an inordinate amount of time dealing with the nuances of the hunt and caper and, even with his attempts to add in a dash of comedy, he can't redeem this aspect of the project." |

King of the Hill (1993) |
"A remarkable odyssey about a resilient young hero who uses both his imagination and his sense of reality to survive." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kingdom (2007) |
"The film is smart and engaging, and if it plays a little on our fears of the next big terrorist attack, it does so without feeling exploitative." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) |
"You may not leave the theater feeling better educated about history or enlightened about the Crusades, but you will leave satisfied that the filmmakers have delivered 145 minutes of exciting, visceral cinema." |

Kings and Queen (2005) |
"Kings and Queen is at times compelling, at times devastating, and at times long-winded." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kinsey (2004) |
"Although the strength of Kinsey is the subject matter, it would be criminal not to note the fine performances of Liam Neeson and Laura Linney, who imbue their characters with humanity and likeability." |
James Berardinelli |

Kiss of Death (1995) |
"The picture is watchable, but nothing about it will linger, except perhaps the feeling that, with a more polished script, it might have been significantly better." |

Kiss of the Dragon (2001) |
"Whack! Thworp! Crack! Sometimes, it's fun to sit back and enjoy the spectacle of bad guys getting their heads beaten in." |

Kissing Jessica Stein (2002) |
"Without resorting to hyperbole, I can state that Kissing Jessica Stein may be the best same-sex romance I have seen." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kitchen Stories (2004) |
"A simple story told well, with plenty of lighthearted moments and kernels of thought-provoking material, but little to really excite the cinematic appetite." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Kite Runner (2007) |
"At times brutal, at times touching, the movie stands out as one of the better 'prestige' productions offered for cinematic consumption during the waning weeks of 2007." |

Knock Off (1998) |
"Almost worth attending for the experience of seeing how low film makers can sink in their never-ending quest to bilk the action picture audience out of a few hard-earned dollars." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"Apatow is clearly a romantic, even if there's a profane edge to his 'love conquers all' worldview. Other filmmakers embarking into the comedy minefield could learn a thing or two from him. He's two for two." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Knowing (2009) |
"Knowing is a classic case of a movie that is crammed with interesting ideas but is unable to conceptualize them in a compelling fashion." |
