Dr. Daniel's Rating Bar

- K -

K-9

[ James Belushi, Mel Harris ] Belushi redeems this dicey entry in the Alpo Cop craze that also produced the equally average Turner & Hooch. 1989.

Kansas

[ Andrew McCarthy, Matt Dillon ] Con boys on the run slip-slappin' for trouble in the heartland. Bad casting makes this one mainly lousy. 1988.

The Karate Kid

[ Ralph Maccio, Pat Morita, Elisabeth Shue ] Franchise original for Maccio and Morita, doing "Rocky" with a kick. 1984.

Key Largo

[ Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G. Robinson ] A hurricane hits a hotel in south Florida. Bogie and Bacall make it memorable. 1948.

Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy

[ Dave Foley, Scott Thompson, Kevin McDonald... ] It's hard to go wrong with Canadian men in dresses. Pretty funny feature debut for the Kids, with an inventive plot about an addictive happy pill. 1996.

Kindergarten Cop

[ Arnold Schwarzenegger, Penelope Ann Miller, Pamela Reed ] Arnold gets put in a fish-out-of-water situation, flexes a muscle or two, and pops off a memorable catch-phrase in his thick Austrian accent. Ya gotta dig that. 1990.

King Kong

[ Fay Wray, Bruce Cabot ] Go to the jungle and find yourself a gigant-o ape, bring him to the big city, dangle a fabulous babe in front of him, and watch him go nuts. Now you got yourself a movie! 1933.

King Ralph

[ John Goodman, Peter O'Toole, John Hurt ] It may be a familiar plot, but John Goodman is really good, man. 1991.

Kiss of Death

[ David Caruso, Nicholas Cage, Samuel L. Jackson ] Whenever I see David Caruso, I think of the "Happy Days" episode where Richie is challenged to fight some gang members. He clenches his teeth, balls up his fist, talks real sinister...but still looks like Howdy Doody! 1994.
