The President's Cake (2025) 100% EDIT “THE PRESIDENT’S CAKE is a beautiful film --- a powerful reminder of the lasting effects of war, especially for children.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Jan 28, 2026 Full Review Jamarcus Rose & Da 5 Bullet Holes (2025) EDIT “Cox’ script, though brief, is powerful and relatable. But he never lets his message become heavy handed. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Jan 23, 2026 Full Review H Is for Hawk (2025) 78% EDIT “The cinematography by Charlotte Bruus Christensen is divine as is the music by Emillie Levienaise-Farrouch. H IS FOR HAWK is not a splashy movie. It is quiet and lovely --- a great way to start off 2026.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Jan 22, 2026 Full Review Shuffle (2025) 100% EDIT “Flaherty does an excellent job exposing the shameless profiteering underneath all the guarantees of full recovery. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Jan 12, 2026 Full Review No Other Choice (2025) 97% EDIT “NO OTHER CHOICE is very dark --- and, at times, wildly funny. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Dec 24, 2025 Full Review The Choral (2025) 67% EDIT “THE CHORAL is a charming, yet serious examination of life in a small English town greatly affected by war. Ralph Fiennes is quietly superb.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Dec 23, 2025 Full Review Marty Supreme (2025) 93% EDIT “Safdie and his longtime collaborator and co-writer Ronald Bronstein have chosen the world of table tennis to tell their story of chasing a dream. Everything Chalamet attempts he gives 100 percent. And, trust me, he is amazing. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Dec 19, 2025 Full Review The Secret Agent (2025) 98% EDIT “Brilliant directors make brilliant films --- and THE SECRET AGENT is definitely in that category. But most importantly, the movie is an homage to cinema itself and should be seen on the big screen! ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Dec 12, 2025 Full Review Zootopia 2 (2025) 91% EDIT “Absolutely, fantastically entertaining --- ZOOTOPIA 2 is everything you could want in a sequel. It’s truly a major movie-going experience for the entire family. And it packs a powerful message about acceptance and our differences making us stronger. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Nov 27, 2025 Full Review Hamnet (2025) 86% EDIT “HAMNET is a revelation --- an affecting movie-going experience. The beauty from the page has been expertly translated to the screen by Zhao and her cast and crew. Buckley is downright phenomenal. Her onscreen presence illuminates every scene.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Nov 26, 2025 Full Review Rental Family (2025) 87% EDIT “One of the most endearing and heartwarming movies to come along in quite a while, RENTAL FAMILY, starring Brendan Fraser as an American actor living and working in Tokyo, reminds us of the importance of human connection. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Nov 22, 2025 Full Review The Running Man (2025) 62% EDIT “It’s a wild ride --- a very entertaining, albeit brutal expose of our human thirst for blood and death.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Nov 13, 2025 Full Review In Your Dreams (2025) 86% EDIT “IN YOUR DREAMS is a very special animated film from Netflix about childhood --- and childhood dreams. It’s sure to become a classic!” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Nov 10, 2025 Full Review Nuremberg (2025) 72% EDIT “As the vile --- and terrifying --- tenets of fascism rise in countries all around the world, it is the perfect time for James Vanderbilt’s engrossing film, NUREMBERG. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Die My Love (2025) 74% EDIT “Postpartum depression is extremely serious and is finally being recognized as a common condition for many new mothers. Unfortunately, Ramsay’s depiction does nothing to enlighten the masses. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere (2025) 61% EDIT “SPRINGSTEEN: DELIVER ME FROM NOWHERE is an honest depiction of a very difficult time in his life and career, prior to him addressing his mental health issues. It’s humbling --- and fascinating.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Oct 23, 2025 Full Review Roofman (2025) 87% EDIT “ROOFMAN is a strong reminder of the essentialness of love, family --- and most importantly --- acceptance. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Oct 15, 2025 Full Review TRON: Ares (2025) 53% EDIT “TRON: Ares is a fast-paced, technological wonder laced with humor and incredible visual effects. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Oct 10, 2025 Full Review Urchin (2025) 96% EDIT “Dillane is definitely the driving force behind URCHIN. His performance is astounding --- so incredibly raw and convincing. He’s electric --- and funny --- it’s impossible to look away. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Oct 9, 2025 Full Review Anemone (2025) 53% EDIT “Despite more than adequate performances from the entire cast, ANEMONE fails to say anything new about addressing past transgressions, guilt and --- most importantly --- brotherly love. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Oct 1, 2025 Full Review One Battle After Another (2025) 94% EDIT “Billed as a dark comedy, action thriller, it is also a wild and crazy ride --- insane, actually. DiCaprio has never been better. ” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Sep 24, 2025 Full Review Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale (2025) 91% EDIT “Fellowes has created a final chapter worthy of this marvelous cast of unforgettable characters. Each and every one of them brings the energy --- and charm --- these beloved personages deserve.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Sep 12, 2025 Full Review Democracy Noir (2024) EDIT “This riveting account of Orbán’s usage of free and fair elections to gain power, then ultimately destroying democracy by doing everything possible to undermine every democratic institution, should be required viewing by every U.S. citizen.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Sep 4, 2025 Full Review Caught Stealing (2025) 85% EDIT “Darren Aronofsky has assembled an absolutely stellar cast, including Tonic, the cat who plays Bud, in his newest effort, CAUGHT STEALING. This dark comedy also happens to be an excellent crime thriller.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Aug 29, 2025 Full Review The Short Game (2024) EDIT “Truly a family film, THE SHORT GAME reminds us what is really important in life.” – Kaplan vs. Kaplan Aug 26, 2025 Full Review
