K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"The movie's centrepiece is as close to tour-de-force suspense filmmaking as you'll see anywhere this summer." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato |
K-Pax (2001) |
"As a pop parable of heavenly reassurance and redemption, Ian Softley's K-PAX is probably the kind of entertainment the movie industry refers to when it promises gentler, feel-good fare in light of current anxieties." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato |
Kandahar (2001) |
"Kandahar, graced with cinematography that is beautiful even in its desolation, is more of a documentary than a dramatic feature, although it has the power of great drama." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/5 |
Kangaroo Jack (2003) |
"It's clear it was intended to cash in with audiences of all ages, but the antics are distinctly childish, while the romance is sexually suggestive." |
Daphne Gordon |
Splat 2/4 |
Kardia (2006) |
"The script takes the film to the edge of banality, with Hope's ceaseless pondering." |
Susan Walker |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Karla (2006) |
"You can call it guilty of exploitation, tastelessness or insensitivity if you like, but its greatest failing is a certain deadly pointlessness." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 3/4 |
Karmen Gei (2002) |
"Beautifully reclaiming the story of Carmen and recreating it an in an African idiom." |
Susan Walker |
Tomato 3/5 |
Kart Racer (2003) |
"A sport film with lots of speedy thrills." |
Daphne Gordon |
Splat |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"If you've seen one movie about a guy from the past encountering modern flush toilets and electric toasters, you've seen them all." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Keane (2004) |
"Unshakably harrowing but deeply moving." |
Geoff Pevere |
Splat 2/4 |
Keeping Mum (2006) |
"The few smiles the picture generates are overcome by the revulsion of some truly disgusting deeds." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/4 |
Keeping Up With The Steins (2006) |
"Had Scott Marshall and screenwriter Mark Zakarin honed their knives sharper, they could have made genuine mirth out of this." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kenny (2008) |
"The result is a minor masterpiece of tone in Kenny's portrayal of a character that is absurd, guileless and shrewd at the same time." |
Philip Marchand |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"If you're into Will Ferrell." |
Malene Arpe |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002) |
"Hugely entertaining from start to finish, featuring a fall from grace that still leaves shockwaves, it will gratify anyone who has ever suspected Hollywood of being overrun by corrupt and hedonistic weasels." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 5/5 |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"Not only is this the work of a major and vital talent in full bloom, it's the most thrillingly entertaining American movie so far this year." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 5/5 |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) |
"Revenge is a meal that gets better with the second course." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3/4 |
The King (2006) |
"A deeply involving film where intentions are as cryptic as the title, and the reckoning of past sins opens fresh wounds." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/5 |
King Arthur (2004) |
"Two hours of relentless battle, badly stitched together with a hard-to-follow story fashioned to give maximum opportunity for big, brawny guys to bash each other." |
Susan Walker |
Tomato 4/4 |
King Kong (2005) |
"Jackson took a huge risk with King Kong. But the movie that no film lover wanted him to make is sure to become the blockbuster that everyone is going to want to see, and with good reason." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
King of California (2007) |
"The most remarkable thing about King of California is how the characters grow on you, and how their quixotic quest becomes ours." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3.5/ |
The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) |
"Hilarious and eye-popping." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kingdom (2007) |
"The Kingdom may be the most potent counter-programming of the year, even though it has no patience with such sissy-pants concerns." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) |
"Considerably more ambitious and significantly less satisfying than Gladiator." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kings and Queen (2005) |
"Funny, absurd, often mocking itself and always quoting cultural history." |
Susan Walker |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Kinky Boots (2006) |
"The movie is a bit of all right, as they say down at the Nob & Gobbler." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 4/5 |
Kinsey (2004) |
"The humour is rich but never bawdy." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) |
"[A] movie-lover's movie." |
Susan Walker |
Tomato |
Kiss of the Dragon (2001) |
"Practical, resourceful and unfussy. That's Jet Li, the Martha Stewart of martial arts mayhem." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 4/4 |
Kissing Jessica Stein (2002) |
"Kissing Jessica Stein is your standard romantic comedy, only better: Twice the chicks and half the guys." |
Daphne Gordon |
Tomato 3/5 |
Kitchen Stories (2004) |
"The droll humour, penned by Hamer with collaborator Jorgen Bergmark, works best at a non-verbal level, when the well-cast Isak and Folke are silently sizing each other up." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/4 |
The Kite Runner (2007) |
"The Kite Runner has become that most unfortunate of awards-season Hollywood casualties: a worthy bore." |
Geoff Pevere |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Klimt (2006) |
"Klimt comes across as a lovely but unfathomable object, and an inadvertent case study in the argument for the ultimate integrity of Klimt's art." |
Geoff Pevere |
Splat |
A Knight's Tale (2001) |
"Basically a thrift-store bin of borrowed ideas and careworn teen cliches, A Knight's Tale executes one of the most drastic wastes of promise this side of a gifted high school slackoff." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 3/5 |
Knockaround Guys (2002) |
"A guilty pleasure." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 4/4 |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"Knocked Up is a different kind of movie, a refreshing mix of the whip smart and the heartfelt." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3/4 |
Know Your Mushrooms (2009) |
"As with all of Mann's films, his enthusiasm is infectious. He comes to praise mushrooms, not to bury them, and long may his frying pan sizzle." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Knowing (2009) |
"The frustrating thing about Knowing is the story is worthy. But director Proyas tries to cram too much in, as if the tricks and effects wizardry are all that really counts. They aren't." |
Linda Barnard |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kung Fu Hustle (2005) |
"Retrieving the martial arts movie from the gentrified middlebrow tastefulness of movies like House of Flying Daggers is only one item on Kung Fu Hustle's agenda." |
Geoff Pevere |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kung Fu Panda (2008) |
"Neither as original as Ratatouille nor as funny as Shrek." |
Peter Howell |
