Splat 2/4 |
K-19: The Widowmaker (2002) |
"This is one of the most machocentric and masochistic movies ever made by a woman." |
David Elliott |
Splat |
K-Pax (2001) |
"When good actors are reduced to peddling drama this squishy and compromised, tucking in tiny witticisms just to keep their adult honor, you wonder what sort of dopes Hollywood thinks we are." |
David Elliott |
Tomato |
Kandahar (2001) |
"Kandahar's penetrating visuals -- and educational component -- compensate for its slow start and abrupt ending." |
Jessica Yadegaran |
Splat 1/4 |
Kangaroo Jack (2003) |
"A 90-minute movie that contains a really bad computer-generated kangaroo, some awful flatulence jokes and a horribly conceived plot." |
Jerry McCormick |
Splat |
Kate and Leopold (2001) |
"Even if the charming Jackman floats your boat, it's tough to swoon over Kate & Leopold." |
Karla Peterson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Keane (2004) |
"The pinched, obsessed, grizzled, fragile Bill is one of the more disturbingly human dead-zoners in American film." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3/4 |
Keeping Mum (2006) |
"A charm parade of serial death in the old, cherishable line of The Ladykillers and Kind Hearts and Coronets, though more cozily pastoral, the film rouses chuckles." |
David Elliott |
Splat |
Keeping the Faith (2000) |
"It is also two-hours-plus in length. Not until the movie nears that 'plus' portion, unfortunately, does it find some semblance of a stride." |
James Hebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Keeping Up With The Steins (2006) |
"There are minutes -- long, stretched minutes -- when you might easily think: Enough already." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006) |
"Our eyes cram the stunning, dry, bare-boned mountainscapes of a Chinese/Tibetan Wild West called Kekexili." |
David Elliott |
Splat 1/4 |
Kicking and Screaming (2005) |
"Dylan ... favors loud sound, loud images, loud everything -- only the laughs are muted." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kid Stays in the Picture (2002) |
"A wildly entertaining scan of Evans' career." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kilimanjaro: To The Roof of Africa (2002) |
"Were you to be shown some of the Kilimanjaro vistas, along with the explanation that these are the first transmissions from our interstellar explorer freshly landed on Tau Ceti IV, you might buy it. It's that weird, and that wonderful." |
Arthur Salm |
Tomato 4/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"The film is a caravan of Tarantino enthusiasms, from Hong Kong quickies to film noir to Kurosawa's joyous Hidden Fortress." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 4/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004) |
"Not so much dramatizing as frisking its themes, Vol. 2 has more story, more emotion, more breath-held quiet times to coax and trigger the tensions." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The King (2006) |
"In various ways this is a strangely impressive movie." |
David Elliott |
Splat 2/4 |
King Arthur (2004) |
"Essentially this is Braveheart meets The Fall of the Roman Empire in the hairy armpit of Gladiator." |
David Elliott |
Splat |
The King is Alive (2001) |
"You can take The King Is Alive as a bold gamble or a pretentious folly. No, take it as a pretentious folly." |
David Elliott |
Splat 2/4 |
King Kong (2005) |
"Jackson, the visionary, has a tin ear. The dialogue, even if you cut it some slack for camp, is awful." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) |
"Knights! Castles! Broadswords! Catapults! Flaming balls! Severed heads! Burning oil! Gushing digital blood!" |
David Elliott |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Kinky Boots (2006) |
"Rich in spunk, humor, dignity, subtle emotions when needed, and dressed to kill when belting songs like “I Want to Be Evil” in a meaty, gal-guy voice, Ejiofor amps and vamps the contrivances appealingly." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kinsey (2004) |
"The movie has the crackle of important changes at work, though it tends to slap and tickle its themes." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) |
"Black has finally got the hipness that his Lethal Weapon films pawed like apes, thudding with macho humor." |
David Elliott |
Splat |
Kiss of the Dragon (2001) |
"Like certain subatomic particles that have velocity but no mass, Kiss of the Dragon pretty much ceases to exist when not in motion." |
Arthur Salm |
Splat 2/4 |
Kissing Jessica Stein (2002) |
"Everything is pegged into the groove of a New York dating comedy with 'issues' to simplify." |
David Elliott |
Tomato |
Kitchen Stories (2004) |
"It rewards patience with persistent chuckles, and fills its humble plate." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kite Runner (2007) |
"Afghanistan is a nation tortured by history, but the core feeling in The Kite Runner is heartburning love of the place, its proud people and dusty, rugged beauty." |
David Elliott |
Splat 2/4 |
Km. 0 (2003) |
"These snippets about people falling in love or changing each other's lives in a few hours don't have enough soul or depth to add up to much more than zero." |
Beth Wood |
Tomato |
A Knight's Tale (2001) |
"Not since Excalibur have we been treated to such a generous dose of good, healthy, medieval lust." |
Arthur Salm |
Tomato 3/4 |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"An attitude bazooka full of sex, drugs and raw language, yet so high on babies and family values that this must be the first R-rated film for both sleazoid slackers and earnest right-to-lifers." |
David Elliott |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Kung Fu Hustle (2005) |
"Kung Fu Hustle, from Asian star Stephen Chow, is the sort of total entertainment package that tends to exhilarate the viewer or grind him down into a spent grist of weariness. Or even both." |
David Elliott |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Kurt Cobain About a Son (2007) |
"There is much to fault in this tedious exercise in pseudo-hipster cool masquerading as, well, what exactly?" |
George Varga |
