Tomato 4/4
Kadosh (1999)
"Gitai handles his potentially melodramatic material with unfailing taste and compassion, encouraging his audience to think long and hard about the moral dilemmas his film intelligently explores."
David Sterritt
Splat 2/4
Kaena: The Prophecy (2004)
"It's a standard science-fantasy fable, but the visual effects are mighty impressive."
Splat 1/4
Kangaroo Jack (2003)
"Hop away from this one fast!"
Tomato B
Keeping Up With The Steins (2006)
"Marshall's directorial debut neatly balances reverence, farce, and family values."
M. K. Terrell
Kicking and Screaming (2005)
"Some scenes are just silly, others are dead-on uproarious."
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003)
"A smorgasbord of slam-bang mayhem, certain to tantalize young men, and with its ultratough heroine, perhaps young women, too."
Kill Bill Vol. 2 (2004)
"Tarantino has always been an inventive director, and in Kill Bill: Vol. 2 he's at his cinematic best, showing an ingenuity that nothing in his monster hit Pulp Fiction surpasses."
Tomato A
Killer of Sheep (1977)
"Killer of Sheep was declared a national treasure in 1990 by the Library of Congress. I agree."
Peter Rainer
The King (2006)
"The first-time director, James Marsh, and his co-writer Milo Addica (who wrote Monster's Ball), sustain a black-comic tone, and the performances, as far they go, are quietly chilling."
King Arthur (2004)
"Gives us a Round Table and a flashing Excalibur but no magic, no mystery, no mythic resonance."
Tomato B+
King Kong (2005)
"There's no denying the monumentality of Jackson's achievement, which intermittently lives up to Denham's showbiz credo: 'Magic for the price of a ticket.'"
King of Hearts (1967)
"This engaging 1966 comedy isn't de Broca's best movie, but it was so popular with American audiences in the late '60s that it's still one of the era's most fondly remembered cult classics."
Splat B-
The Kingdom (2007)
"The blam-blam histrionics devalue the verity."
Kingdom of Heaven (2005)
"The movie's only real message is: Religious wars are wrong. And hey, don't most of us already know that, whether the war is a crusade in the Middle Ages or a fanatic's terrorism in our own time?"
Kings and Queen (2005)
"It's hugely ambitious, with a sweeping range of character types, frequently shifting moods, stylistic flourishes of many kinds, and some mighty wry satire, aimed largely at the world of psychotherapy."
Tomato B-
Kinky Boots (2006)
"The best reason to check the film out is [Chiwetel] Ejiofor's performance, which is packed with grace and wit and pathos."
Kinsey (2004)
"The movie's style is fairly staid, but it's hard to imagine how Neeson could be better, and the subject is handled with taste and tact."
Tomato
Kirikou and the Sorceress (1998)
"One of the best movies so far in this very young year."
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005)
"Raucously entertaining."
Tomato A-
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008)
"The first feature film based on the highly popular American Girl book series -- there have already been three made-for-television American Girl movies -- plays out like a sweet-souled Nancy Drew mystery."
Kitchen Stories (2004)
"Marvelously wry comedy about the odd relationship between a crusty Norwegian man and a snoopy Swedish researcher who's assigned to sit in his kitchen and chart his movements there."
The Kite Runner (2007)
"This is one of those stories that, on some primal level, goes straight to the heart."
Knocked Up (2007)
"Sweep aside the gross-outs and you've got the family values comedy of the year."
Kontroll (2005)
"Watch how inventively Mr. Antal keeps the action moving and you'll see why his picture has won a passel of prizes, bestowed by everyone from the Cannes Film Festival to the Budapest Hungarian Film Critics organization."
Kung Fu Panda (2008)
"The animation is consistently sporty and there are some choice comic riffs on martial arts movies."
