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.
TOP
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.
TOP
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.
TOP
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.
TOP
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.
TOP
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.
TOP
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.

TOP
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."
TOP
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.
TOP
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...
TOP
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.
TOP
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.
TOP

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.

TOP

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...
TOP
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.
TOP
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...

TOP
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.
TOP
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.
TOP
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”.
TOP
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.
TOP
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"...
TOP
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.
