K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"As an historical account, K-19 is impressive and intelligently delivered, but as a movie, it's missing a handle." |
|
Splat |
K-Pax (2001) |
"A feel-good movie startlingly bereft of emotion." |
|
Tomato |
Kandahar (2001) |
"It's in the details that the film really shines." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The Karate Kid (1984) |
"Wax on, wax off, wax nostalgic." |
|
Splat |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"Mangold gets stuck in the gooey sweet spots of his tale a little more often than he breaks loose with a bracing jolt of perversity." |
|
Splat |
"We get the sneaking suspicion before long that the Shapiros are little more than exploiters in the Jerry Springer mold." |
||
Splat |
Keeping the Faith (2000) |
"A banal sitcom masquerading as religious deepthink dolled up as boy-meets-goy love story." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Kickboxer (1989) |
"It is exactly what it looks like. That can be a good thing." |
|
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"...you may not get more than you thought, but it delivers exactly what you think it will." |
||
The Kid & I (2005) |
"Imagine if Tom Arnold had written "Adaptation." No, really." |
||
Splat 0/5 |
Kids (1995) |
"Boy, that kid Telly sure is fun and representative of the Youth of Today. Not." |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
"I was privy to an early test screening of this, and it was weirder and better than the final product. Even the final, watered-down version beats the hell out of most safe so-called comedies, though." |
||
Splat |
Kill Me Later (2001) |
"Despite the generally likable characters and the abundance of clever ideas, Lustig mucks it all up with her 'trick' editing." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Kill Me Later (2001) |
"It's a good thing people finally recognized Selma Blair's talent so she could stop making movies like this." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
"The name says it all, and the movie delivers." |
||
Tomato 4/5 |
The Killers (1964) |
"Ronald Reagan's last role proved to be just as scary as his actual presidency. Clu Gulager rocks, as always." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Kindergarten Cop (1990) |
"Say it with me, now: "Isss naht a tumoh!" You know you love it." |
|
King Arthur (2004) |

Splat |
The King is Alive (2001) |
"The more one thinks about it, the less truthful The King Is Alive appears." |
|
Tomato 5/5 |
King Kong (1933) |
"Though the story's logic is ludicrous if one ever stops to think about it, the movie creates a reality all its own." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
King Kong (1976) |
"Why, why, why did they bother?" |
|
Tomato 4/5 |
The King of Comedy (1982) |
"One of Scorsese's very best" |
|
Splat |
King of the Jungle (2001) |
"Filled less with performance than it is riddled with Oscar clips." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
King Ralph (1991) |
"Unfortunately it's not a movie about Green Party candidate Nader -- just a barely passable "funny fat guy" flick" |
|
Tomato |
Kingdom Come (2001) |
"The all-star ensemble of Kingdom Come overcome most of the bumps in their path." |
|
Kinky Boots (2006) |
|||
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) |
|||
Tomato 5/5 |
Kiss Me Deadly (1955) |
No article available. |
|
Splat |
Kiss Me, Stupid (1964) |
"It just doesn't get very good until halfway through, in large part because the usually excellent Walston is miscast." |
|
Splat |
Kiss of the Dragon (2001) |
"Kiss of the Dragon will probably please hard-core action fans who have become inured to plot idiocies, but it remains a terrible waste of talent." |
|
Splat |
Kissing Jessica Stein (2002) |
"Where Jessica Stein could have been brave and daring, it's instead cowardly." |
|
Tomato |
A Knight's Tale (2001) |
"Unabashedly formulaic though it is, this roguish adventure guarantees sylvan fun for everyone." |
|
Splat 0/5 |
Knockout (2000) |
"Your female boxing movie, and the horse it rode in on." |
|
Tomato |
The Komediant (2002) |
"While centered on the life experiences of a particular theatrical family, this marvelous documentary touches -- ever so gracefully -- on the entire history of the Yiddish theater, both in America and Israel." |
|
Kontroll (2005) |
"Were it not for the subtitles, it would be virtually guaranteed instant cult status" |
||
Tomato 5/5 |
Krull (1983) |
"Deserves a bigger cult following than it has." |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Kuffs (1992) |
"All involved could do better. An interesting curiosity only for diehard Milla Jovovich fans." |
|
Splat 0/5 |
Kull the Conqueror (1997) |
"Yikes. Cribbed dialogue from The Empire Strikes Back is this film's only attempt at quality, and even that falls flat." |
|
Kung Fu Hustle (2005) |
|||
Splat |
Kung Pow! (2002) |
"Oedekerk mugs mercilessly, and the genuinely funny jokes are few and far between." |
|
Tomato 3/5 |
Kurt and Courtney (1997) |
"Unintentionally hilarious, due to Broomfield's complete inability to get access to the people he needs to speak with." |
