Sex and the City - The Movie (2008) |
"New York is fabulous, the clothes are fabulous and the shoes are beyond fabulous --- what more can a 'Sex and the City' devotee ask for? A sequel?" |

The Shaggy Dog (2006) |

David Kaplan |
Tomato |
Sherrybaby (2006) |

Jeanne Kaplan |
Tomato |
Sicko (2007) |
"The movie plays like an expose that would make Edward R. Murrow proud. And for that reason, 'Sicko' may be the most significant documentary to come along since HMOs were conceived under Richard Nixon." |

Sin City (2005) |
"The violence is so frequent and so blatant, that we quickly become immune, which is a good thing, letting us focus on the story and the actors." |
David Kaplan |

Stephen King's The Mist (2007) |
"The town nutcase, the bible-thumping Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden, over-acting yet again), is so convincing that one of the crowd commits suicide, and another, the store's butcher, stabs one of the good guys --- ("Clean up in Aisle Three!")" |
