K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"While the center of the film is both thrilling and horrifying, what will resonate for anyone old enough to remember is the cautionary thing left unspoken ..." |

Tomato |
K-Pax (2001) |
"K-PAX begs more questions than it answers, though Spacey manages to make you not mind the confusion as much." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kandahar (2001) |
"Adds valuable perspective and context to the war in Afghanistan by providing ideas and images that the nightly news cannot deliver." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Kangaroo Jack (2003) |
"The stars seem to be having so much fun you can't help chuckling along." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"As a spun-sugar, slightly screwball romantic comedy, it's a delicious 'portal' to an hour and change of escapism." |
Gemma Tarlach |
Tomato 3/4 |
Katyn (2007) |
"With Katyn [Wajda] shows himself to be a skilled ringmaster still capable of handling the film's many elaborate scenes." |
Steve Ramos |

Keep the River on Your Right: A Modern Cannibal Tale (2001) |
"Along the way, Schneebaum reverts from a lonely old man singing for his supper in the salons of New York to the adventurer he once was and apparently will always be. And this metamorphosis is the film's real discovery." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Keeping Mum (2006) |
"One of those frothy films photographed in the quaint English countryside that yearns to be a word-of-mouth hit, but is too thin and predictable when it should be rich in nuance and off-kilter." |
Michele Kenner |
Splat |
Keeping the Faith (2000) |
"Despite the enormous talent of Norton the actor, Keeping the Faith, with him as director, doesn't have a prayer of going the distance." |
Sue Pierman |
Splat 2/4 |
Keeping Up With The Steins (2006) |
"Squanders a premise that's filled with comic gold by playing it too safe." |
Mack Bates |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"Duvall, not to mention Ditka, does not a comedy make." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002) |
"While the now 72-year-old Robert Evans been slowed down by a stroke, he has at least one more story to tell: his own." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Kids in America (2005) |
"It's baffling how a movie that cries on the behalf of idealistic, misunderstood teenagers could portray its heroes so one-dimensionally and anyone on the opposite side as a ruthless Neanderthal." |
Piet Levy |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"Meticulously structured, self-referential and kinetic, Kill Bill is as impeccably crafted as a graphic Amelie." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) |
"An impressive, engrossing and almost nostalgic tribute to a world found only in the movies, and to the movies it was found in." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
The King (2006) |
"Both Hurt and Bernal drift through their performances, leaving the audience as unfulfilled as an empty collection plate." |
Michele Kenner |
Tomato 3/4 |
King Arthur (2004) |
"King Arthur is as brutally blunt as Fuqua's film Training Day, but it is grander in scope and scale while remaining compelling and comprehensible." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
King Corn (2007) |
"Engaging and illuminating." |
Meg Jones |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
King Kong (2005) |
"Jackson was again driven by a vision that no one else could see until he put it on the screen, and the result is as close as effects-driven spectacle will likely ever get to personal storytelling." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (2007) |
"The remarkable thing about The King of Kong is how its quixotic alternate universe quickly becomes a recognizable microcosm of our own real thing." |
Paul Kosidowski |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kingdom (2007) |
"As an exercise in eye-for-an-eye wish fulfillment, this laser-like focus on the bad guys is something of a relief, although, inevitably, a fiasco in a best-laid-plans sort of way." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato |
Kingdom Come (2001) |
"Kingdom Come won't cause anyone to die laughing, but you should find the theme of reconciliation and redemption to be a sweet and reassuring one." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) |
"Demands implausible leaps of its hero, the young Balian (Orlando Bloom)." |
Gemma Tarlach |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kings and Queen (2005) |
"This is a first-rate melo-dramedy under the influence of director Arnaud Desplechin." |
Michele Kenner |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kinky Boots (2006) |
"Though screenwriters Tim Firth and Geoffe Dean worked from fact, director Julian Jarrold makes everything feel much more contrived than fiction." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kinsey (2004) |
"Condon may favor one side of the debate over the other, but not at the expense of presenting enough information for people to make up their own minds." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) |
"Perhaps a better title for the self-referential noir comedy Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang would be Wink Wink, Nudge Nudge." |
Piet Levy |
Tomato |
Kiss of the Dragon (2001) |
"There may be some arguments over Li's work as an actor, but his physical performance more than makes up for any other on-screen shortcomings." |
Mack Bates |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008) |
"And any film that plants such ideas in the cultural compost heap should be commended. Here's hoping they bloom." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kitchen Stories (2004) |
"What you're left with is a relationship between two men that is untouched by macho posturing or any trace of anxiety -- and a perfect respite from the action flick mentality." |
Kevin John Bozelka |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kite Runner (2007) |
"The Kite Runner is actually a lyrical and understated portrait of life's journey come full circle, within the context of the immigrant experience." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Km. 0 (2003) |
"A quaint, interesting little film." |
Sue Pierman |
Splat |
A Knight's Tale (2001) |
"For the most part, the movie is without a sense of scope or curiosity about daily life in the larger society, and is otherwise devoid of things that go bump in the knight." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
Knockaround Guys (2002) |
"Knockaround Guys works well when it tries to be funny, and falls flat on its face when the bullets fly." |
Paul Doro |
Tomato 3/4 |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"Something about its portrait of the battle between men and women rings familiar and true, and it has a sweetness and innocence that elevates the best of the genre." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Knowing (2009) |
"Give Knowing credit for the courage of its convictions and an ending so nutty I had to laugh out loud." |

Kontroll (2005) |
"Antal has a bright future." |
Michele Kenner |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kung Fu Hustle (2005) |
"While his film has no shortage of extraordinary special effects, they are musical rather than mechanical. They animate rather than stifle the imagination." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kung Fu Panda (2008) |
"Imaginatively done, full of peril, surprise and even humor." |
Cathy Jakicic |
