Tomato B |
Kekexeli: Mountain Patrol (2006) |

Tomato 8/10 |
Kikujiro (2000) |

Harvey S. Karten |
Tomato B+ |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |

"Imaginative re-interpretation of the Garden of Eden theme." |
Harvey S. Karten |
Splat C |
King Arthur (2004) |
"Nice final battle scene but characters like Lancelot, Galahad, Tristan and other fighters are cipher, making Stellan Skarsgard's villainy the reason to see this." |

Tomato 9/10 |
Kiss Me Kate (1953) |
"Thanks to the genius of George Sidney at the helm, there's never a dull moment nor a single instance of a song or dance simply shoehorned in with no bearing on the story. So brush up your Porter if you must have a background before seeing this, and go!" |
