46% Parkland (2013) " Exactly what was the mood in Dallas prior to John F. Kennedy's stop there in 1963? He wasn't liked much, which was the point behind the visit. Lest we forget, "Parkland" reminds us that these things are true." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Oct 4, 2013
98% Gravity (2013) " Despite my few misgivings, I must admit that "Gravity" is an amazing experience." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Oct 4, 2013
83% Don Jon (2013) " If you can handle the porn, go see this movie, if for nothing else than to experience how very talented Joseph Gordon-Levitt truly is. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Sep 28, 2013
88% Rush (2013) " Howard and his cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle do a marvelous job of showcasing this fast and furious sport. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Sep 27, 2013
95% Enough Said (2013) " Everyone in this cast shines. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Sep 26, 2013
34% Salinger (2013) " Salerno's depiction is intriguing and distinctly engaging. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Sep 23, 2013
80% Prisoners (2013) " "Prisoners" is a gripping movie experience with enough twists and turns to keep you on the edge of your seat." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Sep 20, 2013
33% The Family (2013) " Everything about "The Family" is stereotypical and predictable. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Sep 13, 2013
74% The Grandmaster (2013) " "The Grandmaster" is just that --- grand --- and masterful. Wong Kar Wai's odyssey has paid off handsomely. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Aug 31, 2013
46% Closed Circuit (2013) " Though tense and well acted, "Closed Circuit" misses the mark on a few fronts. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Aug 29, 2013
31% Austenland (2013) " I really wish I could report that "Austenland" is funny, delightful and romantic, instead of silly, overacted and disappointing, but, unfortunately, I cannot. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Aug 23, 2013
89% The World's End (2013) " A delightfully original premise for a laugh-out-loud movie. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Aug 23, 2013
27% Planes (2013) " Since Disney and Pixar are now one and the same, the head honchos must have thought rehashing a proven formula would be a good idea. Not so much ---" — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Aug 9, 2013
68% Elysium (2013) " "Elysium" is simply one of the worst films of the year, with derelict dialogue and a sound track that is like nails on a chalkboard." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Aug 9, 2013
47% We're The Millers (2013) " Director Rawson Marshall Thurber doesn't take any risks, but sometimes, you just need a good laugh." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Aug 7, 2013
91% Blue Jasmine (2013) " "Blue Jasmine" is a real dramatic treat, one that is destined to become a classic. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Aug 4, 2013
69% The Wolverine (2013) " This is a total package, as far as Marvel comic characters go. And, seriously, a buff Jackman without a shirt --- how can you go wrong?" — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jul 26, 2013
99% 20 Feet From Stardom (2013) " This fantastic glimpse into the lives of background singers, old and new, directed by Morgan Neville, is completely mesmerizing. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jul 13, 2013
8% Grown Ups 2 (2013) " There are NOT enough adjectives in the English language to describe this vile, disgusting excuse for a movie. If I can stop even one person from paying to see this crap, then I have done my job!" — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jul 13, 2013
97% A Hijacking (2013) " Though the acting in "A Hijacking" is superb, the film is strictly a "follow-the-dots" offering. This is not entertainment. It is another overwhelmingly depressing foray into corporate greed. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jul 8, 2013
31% The Lone Ranger (2013) " "The Lone Ranger" is perfect summer entertainment, though not for small children. Step away from the picnic table and get to a movie theater." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jul 4, 2013
84% Much Ado About Nothing (2013) " Whedon and Cole have managed to accomplish a feat most filmmakers wouldn't even try --- and, in black and white. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 21, 2013
59% The Bling Ring (2013) " Had Coppola at least made some social commentary with her picture, perhaps "The Bling Ring" would have had a purpose. But, as it stands, this film is a complete waste of time." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 21, 2013
67% World War Z (2013) " I haven't been this squeamish at a movie in a very long time. It's an edge-of-your-seat thriller that doesn't let up." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 21, 2013
78% Monsters University (2013) " The folks at Pixar are outrageously talented and imaginative, and one of the other perks in seeing "Monsters University" is the animated short that is presented before the feature. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 21, 2013
56% Man of Steel (2013) " Unfortunately, I cannot get past the length of "Man of Steel". It is a huge problem with many films these days, particularly with this genre. Entertain us, please --- don't overwhelm and bore us! " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 15, 2013
84% This Is the End (2013) " "This Is The End" is irreverent, fractured, uneven and even silly. But fortunately for moviegoers, it's also hysterical!" — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 11, 2013
75% The East (2013) " There are a few missteps in "The East", but nothing to prevent you from enjoying a taut thriller with an exceptional cast." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 7, 2013
35% The Internship (2013) " Ohhhhhhhh --- the waste! A really decent premise gets reduced to a cliched script with very little humor. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 7, 2013
98% Before Midnight (2013) " What a remarkable film it is --- filled with laughter, love at its best and worst, and moments of poignancy that make you weep. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Jun 2, 2013
11% After Earth (2013) " I suppose we should be grateful that there isn't a half-buried Statue of Liberty or an empty, deteriorated football stadium. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted May 31, 2013
93% Frances Ha (2013) " This is a tough one, but I must recommend it, if you are at all inclined to witness creativity at its unconventional best. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted May 26, 2013
88% What Maisie Knew (2013) " This is exactly the kind of film that David and I live to write about. A true team effort --- great writing, directing and acting. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted May 24, 2013
19% The Hangover Part III (2013) " I will NEVER understand why lopping off the head of a beautiful, innocent animal is funny! " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted May 23, 2013
67% The Iceman (2013) " Though the performances are stellar, especially Shannon, who is particularly chilling, I found "The Iceman" less than compelling." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted May 16, 2013
87% Star Trek Into Darkness (2013) " Hey, if you're a huge Star Trek fan, you will probably love this film. I get that --- but for those of us who prefer the repartee between William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy --- well, this isn't that! " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted May 16, 2013
49% The Great Gatsby (2013) " "The Great Gatsby" is a visual wonderland. It's stunning, breathtaking and a Luhrmann tour-de-force interpretation of our great American novel. Fitzgerald would be wowed!" — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted May 10, 2013
7% The Big Wedding (2013) " How one could employ the talents of such major stars as Robert DeNiro, Diane Keaton, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams, and then provide them with such wretched dialogue, is beyond me. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 26, 2013
98% Mud (2013) " "Mud" is a powerful story of love, friendship and loyalties." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 26, 2013
49% Pain & Gain (2013) " This is one helluva story --- and, it's true! " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 26, 2013
77% No Place On Earth (2013) " There have been many films detailing horrific aspects of the Holocaust. "No Place On Earth" has a definite place in the ranks of the best." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 21, 2013
44% To The Wonder (2013) " Malick, who is obviously unconcerned with his film's commercial success, continues to work with cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, and together they have grown immensely fond of long, lovely shots of nature." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 19, 2013
54% Oblivion (2013) " I'm not exactly a science fiction freak, nor do I play video games. But I still rather enjoyed this incredible ride. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 19, 2013
55% The Company You Keep (2013) " Unfortunately, the screenplay by Lem Dobbs, which is based on the novel by Neil Gordon, doesn't match up with the vast talent gathered here." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 12, 2013
69% Trance (2013) " An action-packed juggernaut with more twists and turns than one can, or should, expect. "Trance" is the kind of thriller I live for." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 12, 2013
82% The Place Beyond The Pines (2013) " "The Place Beyond the Pines" is a defining accomplishment for Cianfrance. Those 47 days filming in Schenectady really paid off." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Apr 10, 2013
79% Ginger & Rosa (2013) " Fanning and Englert are ethereal, and their performances are full of bravado and risk-taking. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Mar 22, 2013
69% The Croods (2013) " As far as DreamWorks' animated movies go, "The Croods" will never compare to the "Shrek" or "Madagascar" series. " — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Posted Mar 22, 2013
59% Oz the Great and Powerful (2013) " "Oz the Great and Powerful" is entertaining enough. I just wish it had not been longer than its much older sibling." — Kaplan vs. Kaplan
