Kill List
Film review by: Witney Seibold
Not to sound like a bored cynic, but I have to confess that, very occasionally, I find myself getting tired of the handheld, you-are-there approach to certain types of filmmaking. (more…)
Karate Robo Zaborgar
Karate Robo Zaborgar
Film review by: Witney Seibold
I didn’t know this going in, but evidently the new feature film “Karate Robo Zaborgar” is a film adaptation of a short-lived and not-very-popular 1974 cult TV show from Japan called “Denjin Zaborger” which, in terms of its cultural status, falls somewhere below “Inframan” and “Ultra-Man.” (more…)
The Kids Are All Right
The Kids Are All Right
Film review by: Witney Seibold
The most refreshing thing about Lisa Cholodenko‘s “The Kids Are All Right” is that it’s a queer drama that doesn’t bank on the characters’ sexuality as a sticking point of interest. Too many queer films assume that the characters are interesting merely because they are gay, and don’t bother to write anything else memorable about them. (more…)
The King’s Speech
The King’s Speech
Film review by: Witney Seibold 
The triumph’s of Tom Hooper’s “The King’s Speech” are subtle. The film starts as a quiet and clever comedy about King George VI secretly seeking an Australian speech therapist named Lionel Logue, and, even though based on fact, could be forgiven for feeling like a a cutesy revisionist-history comedy along the lines of the insufferably twee “Shakespeare in Love,” or the portentous “The Last Station.” (more…)

Kuroneko (1968)
Film review by: Witney Seibold 
Just like his great “Onibaba” (1963), Kaneto Shindo‘s masterful “Kuroneko” is a beautifully lurid and creepily atmospheric ghost story, tinged with subtle political gravitas, and vengeful feminist empowerment. (more…)
Knight and Day
Knight and Day
Film review by: Witney Seibold
This bugs me, but only a little bit: James Mangold‘s film is called “Knight and Day,” but the characters are named Miller and Havens. This seems wrong to me. They should be named Knight and Day. But that’s as may be. (more…)

King Frat (1979)
King Frat (1979)
Film review by: Witney Seibold
In 1979, in the wake of the success of “Animal House,” came a similar frat-boy raunch film that dispensed with John Landis’ cogency, sympathy, decency, and good taste. (more…)
King Arthur
King Arthur
Film review by: Witney Seibold
It turns out, according to this new movie, that King Arthur did not live pre-Battle of Hastings, but a half a century earlier around the Fall of the Roman Empire. (more…)
