Tomato
3/4

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."

Walter V. Addiego

Tomato
3/4

Kadosh (1999)

Bob Graham

Splat
1/4

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."

John McMurtrie

Tomato
3/4

Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love (1997)

Edward Guthmann

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)

"The film becomes an overwhelming pleasure, and you find yourself rooting for Gai's character to avoid the fate that has befallen every other Carmen before her."

Jonathan Curiel

Kaspar Hauser (1994)

Mick LaSalle

Splat
2/4

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."

John McMurtrie

Tomato

Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale (2001)

"What begins as a curious document, then, evolves into something more."

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
3/4

The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam (2005)

"Rough around the edges, it's still a formidable movie that's stunning visually."

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."

G. Allen Johnson

Mick LaSalle

Splat

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."

Mick LaSalle

-

A Kid in King Arthur's Court (1995)

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
3/4

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

Tomato
3/4

The Kids in the Hall - Brain Candy (1996)

"A splendid showcase for their diverse, frisky talents."

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
3/4

Kikujiro (2000)

"The comic drama is refreshingly anti-sentimental but will break your heart anyway."

Bob Graham

Splat
1/4

Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)

"It boggles the mind that after six years of silence, all Tarantino has to offer is this garbage."

Mick LaSalle

Tomato
3/4

Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)

"A witty and entertaining action movie."

Mick LaSalle

2/4

Edward Guthmann

Tomato
3.5/4

Killer of Sheep (1977)

Tomato
3/4

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

Tomato
3/4

King of California (2007)

"...Cahill wins me over with this poignant depiction of a tender father-daughter relationship."

Walter V. Addiego

Tomato
3.5/4

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

"A pretty great trip down memory lane, even if you were one of the cool kids who managed to avoid the arcade scene."

Peter Hartlaub

Tomato
4/4

The King of Masks (1996)

Peter Stack

Tomato
2/4

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
