K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"Bigelow is known for making good, visceral movies, but here she adopts a kind of dignified watchfulness, and that feels right for the material." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
K-Pax (2001) |
"Spacey rings all the right emotional bells as well, and could probably score another Oscar for playing Prot." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kabluey (2008) |
"While it borrows from obvious sources, Kabluey eventually comes into its own as a wacky commentary on the state of America in the fifth year of the Iraq war." |

Kaena: The Prophecy (2004) |
"The monsters are derivative, the attempts at humor are mostly feeble and the story, in the end, lacks a certain je ne sais quoi." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Kamikaze Girls (2005) |
"Kamikaze Girls, while being a silly, freewheeling, candy-colored lollapalooza, is also a heartfelt tale of friendship." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Tomato |
Kandahar (2001) |
"Kandahar has the immediacy and authenticity of a documentary and the poetry of a strong dramatic feature." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Kangaroo Jack (2003) |
"Computer effects have reduced a magnificent animal to a cartoon comic foil with human expressions and a yen for red licorice." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
Kansas City (1996) |
"Would someone throw a net over Jennifer Jason Leigh? She's at it again." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 4/4 |
Karmen Gei (2002) |

Kassim the Dream (2009) |
"While it tells a remarkable and disturbing story, you may come away with a nagging sense that Kassim the Dream only skims the surface." |
Walter V. Addiego |
Splat 2/4 |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"It's as if the actress agreed to take another America's-sweetheart role but her spirit didn't." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 4/4 |
Katyn (2007) |
"Wajda's intensity and passion, as well as his intelligence and craft, are unmistakable from the very first sequence. Virtually from the first shot." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Kazaam (1996) |
"One thing is for certain: When a genie movie doesn't come up with satisfying wishes, it's a sure sign it's not really interested in genies but in putting a seven-foot basketball player in a funny outfit." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Keane (2004) |
"Lewis delivers a convincing, powerful and highly nuanced performance as a man who's fighting desperately to keep his illness in check and lead a normal life." |

Jonathan Curiel |
Tomato 2/4 |
Keeping Mum (2006) |
"It's always a treat to watch Maggie Smith up to her old scene-stealing tricks." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 2/4 |
Keeping the Faith (2000) |
"It loses energy and becomes repetitious and unnecessarily cumbersome." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Keeping Up With The Steins (2006) |
"The tribute to an aging parent is moving and gives this routine comedy an extra something." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006) |
"Other than raising awareness for endangered wildlife, Mountain Patrol: Kekexili doesn't have anything profound to say, but it has a lot to show." |

Kickin' It Old Skool (2007) |
"Despite some legitimately entertaining dance sequences, no amount of parachute pants can disguise the fact that Kickin' is a very stupid movie, with many more failed jokes than successful ones." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Splat 1/4 |
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"Sit in a room by yourself, look at a blank screen for 90 minutes, and you'll have more of a chance of laughing at your own thoughts than you will at this movie." |

The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002) |
"A little like being stuck at a fellow's deathbed, listening to him gas and gas about his life -- only in this case, the guy turns out to be fascinating." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Kids (1995) |
"None of the advance hype on Kids can prepare you for the raw, stripped-down reality that Larry Clark captures in his astonishing first film." |
Edward Guthmann |

The Kids in the Hall - Brain Candy (1996) |
"A splendid showcase for their diverse, frisky talents." |

Kikujiro (2000) |

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |

The King (2006) |
"Dark, disturbing and audaciously original in a way only indies are given license to be anymore." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 1/4 |
King Arthur (2004) |
"Combines the plodding sincerity of a Ph.D. dissertation with the brains of a high-concept Jerry Bruckheimer- produced blockbuster (which it is), and no one benefits." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
King Corn (2007) |
"While there's no startling news here -- most people know that high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is a staple in food processing and isn't particularly good for us -- this documentary neatly, and often humorously, summarizes a very unhealthy situation." |
Walter V. Addiego |
Splat |
The King is Alive (2001) |
"The project seems unsure about how to push the fighting, trysting and synthesized misery to higher ground." |
Wesley Morris |
Splat 1/4 |
King Kong (2005) |
"The unrelenting computer-animated action suffocates what seems to have been the movie's main purpose, to expand on the Kong-Ann relationship." |
Mick LaSalle |

King of California (2007) |
"...Cahill wins me over with this poignant depiction of a tender father-daughter relationship." |
Walter V. Addiego |

The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) |

King Of The Corner (2005) |
"What carries the movie is Riegert. He has an appealing, ironic style, but he's not locked into it. He's emotionally present and subtle." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 0.5/4 |
King's Ransom (2005) |
"The Chronicle's Little Man was fighting an internal struggle to abandon his chair altogether, but was ultimately swayed to continue his nap, mostly by a few of the comics in supporting roles." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Splat 2/4 |
The Kingdom (2007) |
"After outdoing himself in the opening sequence, director Peter Berg, who appears briefly as an FBI honcho, overdoes everything that follows." |
Mick LaSalle |
