Kill Bill Vol. 1 -- R
Extreme violence and constant, unnecessary cursing. Beautful filming of martial arts fights paying hommage to the Asian martial arts films. It's the story of a female member of a murder-for-hire team who sets out to get even with her boss and former team members for trying to kill her.
Kill Bill vol.2 -- R
If you saw Kill Bill vol. 1, you'll want to see vol.2 . This one ties all the loose ends together from the first movie. It finally names the bride, and shows her training and relationship with Bill. Although it is not as violent as the first movie, it is violent enough to recieve an R rating.
King Arthur -- PG-13
This is Hollywood's attempt to realistic origins to one of the greatest legends ever. Told from a historical perspective, this movie is a very, very good tale of the origins of the King Arthur legend. It introduces Guinevere, Lancelot, Merlin, Galahad and others. However -- and there's always a however in life -- this movie takes away the thrills and the magic that you grew up with. I, for one, prefer the magic. The violence of a medieval war is the reason for the 13 of the PG-13. That and one sensual scene that implies, rather than shows a sexual encounter.
Kingdom of Heaven -- R
The first of the 2005 epic films, this movie, using the back drop of the Crusades, tells the story of a man (Liam Neeson) who discovers and reunites with his son (Orlando Bloom) and helps him fulfill his destiny. Historically close to actual events and many of the people being actual, this movie has great acting and historical significance. As in any movie epic of war, the violence and sexual situations earned this movie it's R rating, but adults who enjoy epics will enjoy this movie.
King Kong -- PG-13
Three hours and seven minutes of special effects excitement and action. Well, not exactly. The first hour builds the characters, sets the atmosphere of the Depression Era New York and begins to trip to Skull Island. Once there, the action is non-stop. If you've seen the original 1933 movie, you'll have a greater appreciation of this one. The 1976 remake was an updated version. As with the other two versions, the acting rest on the shoulders of the lead female. In this case, Naomi Watts. The movie, however; and there's always a however in life-- rest on the special effects that produce the mighty Kong. The violence adds the 13 to the PG-13 rating.
King's Ransom -- PG-13
Funnier than the commercials would have you believe, this movie stars Anthony Anderson as a wealthy and arrogant businessman about to go through a bitter divorce. Rather than allow his gold-digging wife to take his hard earned money, he arranges for his dim-witted girlfriend (Regina Hall) to get her recently released from prison brother (Charlie Murphy) to fake a kidnapping with his hard earned money going for the ransom. What he doesn't realize is that his girlfriend's brother kidnaps the wrong man,, and another man really does kidnap him. Rated PG-13 for crude and sexual humor and vulgar language.
Kiss, Kiss, Bang Bang – R
This is a very clever movie about a thief (Robert Downey, Jr.) who runs into an acting try-out as he’s running from the police after a botched burglary. He gets hired to play a detective and goes to Los Angeles to learn from a real life detective (Val Kilmer) who happens to be gay, and on a case involving him.
Kung Fu Hustle -- R
Stephen Chow and his buddy are two inept drifters who pretend to be members of the feared Axe Gang. When they go to a small, poor Chinese village with their charade, they trigger the arrival of the real Axe Gang, who attempt to take control of the village. When the gang tries their usual brutish tactics, it becomes apparent that the residents of this village are past Kung Fu masters. This movie is a mix between "Charlie Chaplin and Sam Peckinpah" someone wrote, and I would have to agree. The R rating is for violence, and it should be.
