Kick Ass [ 2010 ] [ Hits:541 ]
Review: The Kick-Ass comic book to film adaptation was inevitable. Come on, if Catwoman gets one, surely everyone's entitled to slap on some spandex and snarl? While you daydream about Halle Berry in a cat suit, you should know that her follow-up to that Oscar-whining "performance" in Monster's Balls is the equivalent of kitty litter and has nothing on Michelle Pfeiffer in Batman Returns.Plain, simple and cheesy, Kick-Ass kicks ass. It's an instant comic book cult hit, a special blend of Watchmen, The P...

Kill Buljo: The Movie [ 2007 ] [ Hits:304 ]
Review: The best way to describe Kill Buljo: The Movie would be to imagine a strange low budget mixture of Kill Bill, Austin Powers and Reno 911. Kill Buljo: The Movie is a production by Norweigan film-makers, Tommy Wirkola and Stig Frode Henriksen. The duo are comparable with Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, since both teams share a similar love/hate relationship with Hollywood. The desire to mimic and destroy are both inherent in each team’s work as they both write and then split duties when it comes to...

Killers [ 2010 ] [ Hits:360 ]
Review: Killers is brought to you by The Ugly Truth's director, Robert Luketic and star Katherine Heigl - minus Gerard Butler. This movie is reminiscent of The Bounty Hunter, another recent "romcom" actioner about the shenanigans of a couple living under false pretences on the brink of some sort of reunification. At its best, Luketic is aiming for the lofty realm of Hitchcock's To Catch A Thief as our lead duo meet in a similar fashion to Hitchcock's escapade featuring Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Spe...

Killshot [ 2008 ] [ Hits:259 ]
Review: Killshot was originally intended for Tony Scott with Robert De Niro and Quentin Tarantino in the shoes of Armand and Richie. The long-awaited release of Killshot features Mickey Rourke and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who star opposite Diane Lane and Thomas Jane. The cast is strong on paper and the performances are what carries this crime/thriller based on the novel by Elmore Leonard. It’s Rourke’s portrayal of “The Blackbird” that overshadows excellent turns by Gordon-Levitt and Lane. While Th...

Kings of South Beach [ 2007 ] [ Hits:365 ]
Review: Kings of South Beach comes to you from the writings of Nicholas Pileggi, author of Wise Guy (Goodfellas) and Casino, two books that became Martin Scorsese crime epics. He writes the script for Kings of South Beach a decade later, which is based on a true story. This made for television feature may not have the big budget flair of The Departed, but manages to entertain nevertheless. Donnie Wahlberg teams up with experienced TV maverick, Jason Gedrick in something of a buddy movie. These boys are ...

Knight and Day [ 2010 ] [ Hits:512 ]
Review: Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are possibly the coldest on-screen Hollywood couple since Montgomery Clift and Shelley Winters, may they rest in peace. Cruise has always been a little distant, giving that looking into the Sun gaze to the point that it’s become more of a glaze. What’s more, he’s embarrassed himself in the media so many times over the last few years that he’s literally become the village idiot of Tinseltown.Cameron Diaz is just as “fridge-ed”, last starring alongside Cruis...

Knockaround Guys [ 2001 ] [ Hits:268 ]
Review: Knockaround Guys has a great cast including John Malkovich, Vin Diesel, Seth Green and Dennis Hopper. But what makes this film with great potential so raw and lame? The plot seemed viable, the actors were of a high calibre - but where was the magic? Knockaround Guys is the story of mafia bosses. More importantly, it’s about their sons. They say you can’t choose your family, and for a crime lord’s son - life can be difficult. I’m not talking about being lynched by the rival family, but li...

Kung Fu Panda 2 [ Hits:585 ]
Review: Kung Fu Panda 2 is a sequel, and sequels generally have two options... one, stick to the formula and deliver more of the same or two, reinvent and approach from a new perspective. The Spider-Man franchise delivered a darker, more introspective sequel as a follow-up to the successful reboot of the live-action Spider-Man superhero. While Spider-Man introduced us to the character of Peter Parker becoming a hero, Spider-Man 2 introduced us to the darker side of the character as he grappled with his ...
