THE KARATE KID
 
Release: Jun 84 - Review: 16 Oct 10
Wax On, Whacks Off.
THE KARATE KID is yet another retelling of ROCKY. With a hero not so much Italian Stallion as Italian Ferret.

KELLY'S
HEROES
 
Release: Jun 70 - Review: 1 Mar 06
From
Zeroes to Heroes.
Like THE DIRTY DOZEN without
the meticulous planning.

KEVORKIAN
Release: Jun 10 - Review: 28 Sep 10
No pain. No gain.
Hardest thing for most people to admit is not that Kevorkian was performing assisted suicides; the hardest thing is to admit he was right.

KICK-ASS
Release: Apr 10 - Review: 6 Mar 11
Cuddly Carnage.
...an assault on our superhero complacencies; an adult superhero movie about kid superheroes. Satire, comedy, treachery, anarchy. ULTRA-VIOLENCE. Don't bring the kids.

KICKIN IT OLD SCHOOL
Release:
Apr 07 - Review: 26 Sep 09
Shit Kicking.
I guess "comedies" like KICKIN IT OLD SCHOOL must appeal to some kind of illiterate lowbrow unschooled trailer-trash drool-toothed dipsticks, otherwise somebody fellated some major pole to get this greenlighted.

KICKING
AND SCREAMING
Release: May 05 - Review: 17 Jun 06
Aiming Low, Scoring Lower.
As counter-intuitive as it may seem in
pitting Duvall against Ferrell as rival coaches, think
how absolutely ludicrous it is to place them side by side
as actors.

THE KID
Release: Feb 1921 - Review: 14 Apr 11
Kid Rock.
Think of the cutest thing you ever saw: the kitten from that last YouTube video, Kate Beckinsale's nose, the minions from DESPICABLE ME... now multiply that cuteness by 1000. You get--Jackie Coogan as THE KID.

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT
Release: Jul 10 - Review: 22 Dec 10
When Aunties Collide.
...two teenage children of a lesbian couple in 1970s Southern California seek out their sperm donor and bring him into their family dynamic, causing untold High Maintenance freakouts.

KILL BILL VOLUME 1
Release: Oct 03 - Review: 13 Nov 10
Revenge is a Bumblebee.
...an epic masterpiece of simple brutal story, brutally vicious direction, viciously creative dismemberment, and revenge as cold as liquid nitrogen.
TOP |

KILL BILL VOLUME 2
Release: Apr 04 - Review: 14 Nov 10
Bridal Power.
Like Leone on heat, like Kurosawa on angel dust, like an American pioneer, like a Japanese traditionalist, the KILL BILL saga proves there is only one person who makes movies - like Quentin Tarantino.

THE KILLER
Release: Jul 89 - Review: 7 Sep 10
If you can see past the bullets...
...iconic action figures do their Peckinpah dance, all pulp and circumstance. They're not real people, they're tropes fulfilling story elements in Woo's tribute to "honor and friendship."

KILLERS
Release: Jun 10 - Review: 18 Dec 10
Same story, different models.
KILLERS was infinitely more exciting when it was called TRUE LIES. And it was funnier when it was called MR AND MRS SMITH. And didn't someone just make this movie and call it KNIGHT AND DAY?

KING
KONG
Release: Apr 1933 - Review: 26 Dec 05
The
King Is Dead! Long Live The King!
Unfortunately,
instead of aging like a fine wine, it has aged like a
Big Mac.

KING KONG 1976
Release:
Dec 76 - Review: 1 May 08
Ape-tastrophe!
... a guy in an ape suit walking around like a guy in an ape suit...

KING
KONG 2005
 
Release: Dec 05 - Review: 23 Dec 05
Yes!
We Have No Bananas!
Pure
entertainment. Twenty-five hairy-bottomed, big-dumb-galoot
feet of it. And nothing else.

KING
OF KINGS
Release: Oct 61 - Review: 24 Jun 06
Jesus: The Man, The Myth, The Model.
... the definitive
Catholic document: not really religious, not really holy,
not really accurate. Just the way Catholics like it.

THE KING'S SPEECH
Release:
Dec 10- Review: 7 Nov 11
A Royale with cheese.
...a fascinating insight into a non-publicized corner of English royal history, revealing a sordid truth deeper than the question of whether the Royals ever go to the toilet.

THE KINGDOM
Release: Sep 07 - Review: 16 Oct 08
My Kingdom for a (war)horse...
If LIONS FOR LAMBS was the cerebral, intelligent take on the Iraq War, THE KINGDOM is the action-packed, piss-your-pants rejoinder...

KINSEY
Release: Nov 04 - Review: 4 Apr 06
A Cocksure Man.
Before the opening credits are done, Kinsey
has reeled through all of George Carlin's Seven Dirty
Words - and then some, showing us exactly which side of
the puritan fence this film is going to burn down.

KISS EXPOSED
Release: 1987 - Review: 16 Sep 10
The KISStory starts here.
Part history (sorry, KISStory), part mockumentary; part videos (current and vintage), part comedy, part scantily-clad women, EXPOSED is a grab bag of entertainment - like Kiss always promises...

KISS
SYMPHONY
Release: Apr 03 - Review: 4 Sep 05
Elevator Muzak pumped with testicular dynamite.
It's Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The... Opera. Like the great Godzilla matchups of old, it's Kiss versus the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

KISS KISS BANG BANG
Release: Sep 05 - Review: 5 Jul 10
Lethal Schleppin.'
It's like LETHAL WEAPON if Riggs and Murtaugh were totally incompetent.

THE KITE RUNNER
Release: Dec 07 - Review: 27 Aug 08
A Wimp's Tale.
...lauded as a movie about redemption. It is not. It is a movie about being a wimp. And how this wimp reconciles himself to being one. I guess that’s what this lily-livered society is now calling “redemption”.

KNIGHT AND DAY
Release: Jun 10 - Review: 11 Dec 10
Mission: Implausible.
As much as it thrills me to see a car flip over and miss Tom Cruise's head by inches (even though thrills would have magnified had it connected), I'd rather see a story structured around a... well, a story.

KNOCKED UP
Release: Jun 07 - Review: 10 Mar 09
Stretchmark Benchmark.
Not your average "romantic comedy" with the mandatory maudlin marriage message. KNOCKED UP is laser focused on the comedy - cos let's face it, the "romance" is pretty much over and done once she gets "knocked up"...

KUNG FU PANDA
Release: Jun 08 - Review: 21 Dec 08
Movie: Chop Socky. Message: Kung Fooey.
...the awesomeness of the Panda is diluted with the insidiousness of the Pander.
