Kick-Ass 2

The movie will split in two with Hit-Girl being thrown in a Mean Girls/Carrie sorta mash-up, and with Kick-Ass discovering new costumed heroes to do good with.

Kid, The (1921)

Charles Chaplin’s The Kid follows a man and a little kid that have been brought together by fate, when his mother abandons him and he ends up in poor neighborhood living with a tramp.

Killer Joe

Killer Joe is a trashy, engaging thriller with so much grimy dark comedy stuffed within, you’ll never eat fried chicken again.

Killing Them Softly

Andrew Dominik’s latest is an imperfect but engaging gangster film with an amusingly unsubtle message about the American economy.

King’s Speech, The

The King’s Speech is a throughly enjoyable movie about King George VI — not yet crowned then — and how he got through his stammering problem with the help of a very unlikely aid… and a lot of work.

Ridley Scott’s delivers a great historical epic that proves to be one of the best depictions of the Crusades to date.

Kingsman: The Secret Service

Kingsman: The Secret Service tips its hat to the Knights of the Roundtable and plays off as a homage to spy films, especially the James Bond franchise. In film style and direction, however, its comic tone and value not only makes it pretty fun to watch, but Kingsman is also quite similar to Matthew Vaughn’s previous directorial efforts such as the first Kick-Ass film and X-Men: First Class.
