Sean Means |
Tomato 3/4 |

Sean Means |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kill Bill Vol. 1 (2003) |
"After nearly two hours of bloodshed (no matter how artfully presented), Tarantino owes us a little more than a "to be continued . . ." tease." |

King Arthur (2004) |
"The battle scenes are exercises in nondescript mayhem, and suspiciously bloodless (to qualify, barely, for a PG-13 rating)." |
Sean Means |
Tomato 4/4 |
King Kong (2005) |
"Action movies often devalue acting, but Watts' performance turns King Kong from a monster movie to an epic tragedy." |

Tomato 3/4 |
The Kingdom (2007) |

Sean Means |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kingdom of Heaven (2005) |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Kinky Boots (2006) |

Kinsey (2004) |

Sean Means |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (2005) |

Sean Means |
Splat |
Kiss of the Dragon (2001) |
"Too often the fights are pieced together so choppily that the thurst of the action is lost." |
Sean Means |
Tomato 4/4 |

"Westfeldt and Juergensen give energetic, bubbly performances, and their script is a winner." |
Sean Means |
Tomato 3/4 |
Kit Kittredge: An American Girl (2008) |
"[The filmmakers] balance the pre-teen frivolity of Kit's adventures with a gentle (and now timely) history lesson about soup kitchens, selling eggs and other symbols of the Great Depression." |
Sean Means |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Kitchen Stories (2004) |
"Hamer's pacing is poky, and the 'well, duh' moral ... hits the audience well before it is revealed to the characters." |
Sean Means |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Kite Runner (2007) |
"[The filmmakers] sensitively handle the breakdown of Amir and Hassan's friendship [and] grasp the tension between the hardship of those who remained in Afghanistan and the guilt of those who fled." |
Sean Means |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Knockaround Guys (2002) |
"The movie generates plot points with a degree of randomness usually achieved only by lottery drawing." |
Sean Means |
Tomato 4/4 |
Knocked Up (2007) |
"Here is a movie loaded with raunchy jokes about premarital sex and getting stoned that is not just soda-out-the-nose funny but also one of the most life-affirming and pro-marriage movies ever made." |
Sean Means |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Knowing (2009) |
