K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"A passably interesting, Tom Clancy-style thriller." |
Ken Fox |
Splat 1.5/5 |
K-Pax (2001) |
"The latest offender in the odd 'let's see what the cute and funny mentally ill can teach us' genre, this mystery/ domestic drama commits all the usual sins and cliches." |
Frank Lovece |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
Kaaterskill Falls (2002) |
"An interesting psychological thriller that, more often than not, actually works." |

Kabluey (2008) |
"An offbeat a comedy of discomfort." |
Maitland McDonagh |

Kaena: The Prophecy (2004) |
"This film's lavishly beautiful animation is as sophisticated as the story is solemnly dopey." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Kamikaze Girls (2005) |
"Fruity and frankly forgettable." |
Ken Fox |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kamp Katrina (2007) |
"Ashley Sabin and David Redmon's bittersweet film documents the efforts of two New Orleans natives to help their beloved city heal from Hurricane Katrina's devastation." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato |
Kandahar (2001) |
"Makhmalbaf shot this film under extremely difficult circumstances, and it sometimes shows; but it's still an important achievement." |
Ken Fox |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Kangaroo Jack (2003) |
"It's hard not to wonder whether most of the principal actors shouldn't start thinking seriously about switching agents." |
Steve Simels |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Karate Kid (1984) |
"This is the kind of movie where you find yourself cheering even though you know you're being hoodwinked." |
|
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Karmen Gei (2002) |
"The production design, score and choreography are simply intoxicating." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"Once it settles down, it becomes a star-making vehicle for Jackman, and a supremely polished example of the sort of swoony love story cherished by women who secretly hope that some day their prince will come." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Keane (2004) |
"It rests on British-born Lewis' astonishing performance. His characterization is so bold, so raw and so far out on an emotional ledge that you can't help but fear he'll never find his way back." |
Ken Fox |
Tomato 4/5 |
Kedma (2002) |
"While minimalist in its presentation, the film becomes nearly operatic in its intensity." |
Ken Fox |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Keeper: The Legend of Omar Khayyam (2005) |
"While sumptuously beautiful, the film is often stilted and undermined by some painfully amateurish performances that no good intentions can smooth over." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato 3/4 |
Keeping Mum (2006) |
"Director and cowriter Niall Johnson's black comedy falters at the end, but until then it manages to wring gentle humor from murder most well bred." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Keeping the Faith (2000) |
"A very entertaining, hugely neurotic romantic comedy!" |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Keeping Up With The Steins (2006) |
"If its ribbing lacks teeth, it's also 100 percent free of spite and snooty meanness." |
|
Tomato 4/4 |
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006) |
"A fascinating film that benefits greatly from the stunning scenery of the Tibetan plateau and from a quicksand scene that will leave you gasping." |
Ken Fox |

The Kennel Murder Case (1933) |

Tomato 3/4 |
Kentucky Fried Movie (1977) |
"Vulgar and uproariously funny." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
Kettle of Fish (2006) |
"If only there were some spark between Modine and Gershon (who's hampered by an annoying and unnecessary English accent)." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato 4/4 |
Key Largo (1948) |
"Edward G. Robinson deserves special praise." |
|
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Keys to the House (2004) |
"A touching tale." |
Ken Fox |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Khachaturian: A Musician and His Fatherland (1955) |
"Rosen attempts to provide a rounded picture of the composer's life and work through archival footage and voice-over readings by Eric Bogosian from Khachaturian's diaries and letters, but the man remains a less vivid presence than his music." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Splat 2/4 |
Kickin' It Old Skool (2007) |
"Adults old enough to appreciate the choice electro-boogaloo soundtrack and get the 'Mr. Roboto' jokes will doubtless find the rest of it painfully dumb." |
Ken Fox |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"Even by the low standards of formulaic sports comedies, this one comes up short." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Splat 1/4 |
The Kid & I (2005) |
"Either the most inept vanity production ever made or the most deadpan satirical prank ever pulled." |
Maitland McDonagh |

Kid Glove Killer (1942) |
"A terrific debut film for both Van Heflin and for Fred Zinnemann in the director's chair." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002) |
"A snazzy kick -- it's never less than hugely entertaining -- that should in no way be mistaken for an unbiased account." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Kids in America (2005) |
"A muddled mess whose message gets lost in the confusion." |
Angel Cohn |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Kids in the Hall - Brain Candy (1996) |
"There are some very funny bits, but they're interspersed with long stretches of exposition that drag the whole thing down, down, down." |
|
Tomato 4/4 |
Kiki's Delivery Service (1989) |
"The animation is particularly fluid, especially in the scenes where Kiki flies over the city and along its streets." |
|
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"If your sensibilities are in line with Tarantino's, the result is sheer sleaze Nirvana." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato 4/5 |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) |
"The more intense your own relationship with movies, the harder it is to resist Tarantino's love of reinvigorating the exploitation icons of his youth and synthesizing the vivid movie-going experiences of his cherished memories." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Splat 2/5 |
Kill by Inches (2001) |
"Preposterous without being surreal." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Splat 2/5 |
Kill Me Later (2001) |
"A small film whose virtues are probably best appreciated on tape." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Kill the Poor (2006) |
"Alan Taylor's film will resonate with any New Yorker who's played real-estate roulette in Fun City." |
Ken Fox |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Killer (1989) |
"In the world of John Woo's over-the-top action movies, it seems there's no problem that can't be solved by a hail of bullets. Don't be fooled; The Killer is far more than the sum of its plot elements." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
Killer Elite (1975) |
"Misunderstood at the time of its release, this is essentially a droll parody of espionage thrillers with plenty of chases and shoot-outs presented in an absurdist, mocking tone by director Peckinpah." |
|
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Killer Inside Me (1976) |
"The just-average script and some weak supporting roles, however, ultimately limit the film." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
Killer of Sheep (1977) |
"Killer of Sheep lives up to its official designation as a national treasure." |
|
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Killer's Kiss (1955) |
"Killer's Kiss is no one's idea of a great film but it displays much evidence of future brilliance." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
The Killers (1946) |
"The cast is excellent and Siodmak's direction is hard-edged and moody." |
|
Tomato 3/4 |
The Killers (1964) |
"Though the film does not stand up to the 1946 version with Burt Lancaster, it has its own pleasures, including Marvin's rather likable role of an assassin, the exciting robbery sequence, and, of course, the villainous Reagan getting his just desserts." |
|
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Killing (1956) |
"Hardboiled early Kubrick." |
|
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Killing Fields (1984) |
"A deeply moving film." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
Killing Me Softly (2002) |
" Why, you might ask, is master director Chen Kaige wasting his time on such trashy material?" |
Robert Pardi |
