Killer Klowns From Outer Space Many times, you might find a filmmaker armed with a low budget who intentionally sets out to make a “cult midnight movie”, and usually falls flat on their face due to a lack of skill and churns out a pretty shitty result. However, then there is the Chiodo Brothers, who […]

Killer’s Delight This product of the 70s low-budget exploitation craze, about a serial killer murdering young female hitchhikers, has got to be considered one of the worst of the lot. For starters, you have James Luisi (best known as James Garner’s partner on the Rockford Files) achieving some kind of milestone for playing probably the […]

King Of New York Perhaps no actor other than Christopher Walken can convey more pain and sorrow in a single closeup, so many inner feelings of turmoil. Unfortunately those things alone are not substantive enough to properly carry a film or a performance, as it is in Abel Ferrera’s cult crime film (which went on […]

King Solomon’s Mines To think that there was actually a time where the very concept of a franchise like Indiana Jones and a movie like Raiders Of The Lost Ark was thought of as being commercially unviable, so much so that Tom Selleck (the first choice of both Lucas and Spielberg) would quickly slam the […]

King’s Speech It really is quite quaint and amusing the way that British people still cling to the idea of having a Royal Family to worship and regard in awe (even while their tax dollars go to their upkeep) when mostly the only purpose they serve is to have various public screw-ups to keep the […]

But occasionally a sports comedy will come along that actually […]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Well, any film that features the directing debut of one of the greatest action screenwriters ever and features a teaming of two Future Oscar Winners should be a must-see for everyone. And as much as I enjoyed seeing the Legends Kilmer and Downey together, I was pleasantly surprised to see that […]

Knight And Day A few years ago, a little movie came out called Mr. And Mrs. Smith, which promoted itself in the ads as a romantic action comedy where a man and a woman who were involved with each other took part in a fast-paced action adventure storyline. Unfortunately, that movie failed MISERABLY due mostly […]

Knight’s Tale One of the most persistent problems with period piece films is that the filmmakers involved strive to make it seem as if the PRODUCTION was made during the same era as well, resulting many times in a turgid work right down to using the music of that era which comes across as a […]

Krull In the wake of Star Wars and Conan The Barbarian, sci-fi / fantasy films became a hot commodity in Hollywood, and with the economy as good as it was in 1983, studios were willing to take a chance on original ideas, such as this opus written by Stanford Sherman (best known as the head […]
