B+
28 Years Later: The Bone Temple (2026) Vincent Mancini It's not easy to do light comedy and people being flayed alive and killed during satanic sex rituals in the same movie but Alex Garland and Nia DaCosta manage a deft contrast. Socialism or barbarism via zombies.

B
The Testament of Ann Lee (2025) Vincent Mancini Combines the bleak historical accuracy of 'The Witch' with a Busby Berkeley musical. Weird idea that mostly works, though it feels like it lacks a take on its subject.

C+
Anaconda (2025) Vincent Mancini Anaconda misses a primo opportunity to be the Tropic Thunder of IP filmmaking by believing itself to be a movie about a giant snake.

A
Marty Supreme (2025) Vincent Mancini Timothee Chalamet plays a human mongoose in Safdie's rollicking addition to New York Grime, which restages 'Uncut Gems' as a 1950s period piece about high-stakes ping pong.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (2025) Vincent Mancini Anyone who doesn't appreciate James Cameron's victory lap deserves to be tried and convicted in WHALE COURT.

D
Ella McCay (2025) Vincent Mancini The weirdest movie I've seen since 'Madame Web,' skin-crawlingly uncanny basically from start to finish.

C+
Jay Kelly (2025) Vincent Mancini Its fatal flaw is that Noah Baumbach can't quite commit to making his protagonist a prick. Billy Crudup shreds though.

A
Left-Handed Girl (2025) Vincent Mancini One of those periodic reminders that a movie is, at its root, something that makes you want to keep watching. One of the best-looking movies of the year was shot on an iPhone.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't (2025) Vincent Mancini To me it felt more like Discount Movie Slurry™ than a movie in its own right, but my 12-year-old nephew graded it an A+ and he seems like more of the target audience. Yas Island: It's the Orlando of the Middle East!

B+
If I Had Legs I'd Kick You (2025) Vincent Mancini Like someone took 'Beau is Afraid' and reversed the polarity on "mommy issues."
Posted Nov 12, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Christy (2025) Vincent Mancini Sydney Sweeney managing to look like a competent boxer is a notch above even the tried-and-true pattern of Hollywood beauties going butch for artistic relevance. The movie itself doesn't reinvent the biopic, but it finds purity in playing it straight.

B
Bugonia (2025) Vincent Mancini Sort of the arthouse 'Deep Blue Sea.'
Posted Nov 04, 2025  Edit critic review
C
A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE (2025) Vincent Mancini This is Obama-era fan-fiction disguised as a torn-from-the-headlines thriller, and even its attempts at "cautionary tale" feel like a naive fantasy.

C+
Frankenstein (2025) Vincent Mancini A gorgeous adaptation with eye-popping production design that, the longer it goes on, the less I understood the story being adapted. After 2.5 hours, all I really got was "it's a gothic romance."
Posted Oct 26, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Roofman (2025) Vincent Mancini A subtly satirical take on 'Catch Me If You Can' era Spielberg, 'Roofman' is a tongue-in-cheek paean to a lost era of capitalism.

B
The Smashing Machine (2025) Vincent Mancini Safdie stays studiously true to the source, while the parts he invents are insightful and illuminating. Kind of makes you wish there were more of them.

A+
One Battle After Another (2025) Vincent Mancini I already feel perfectly comfortable calling this one of the best films of the 21st century.
Posted Oct 01, 2025  Edit critic review
D
Swiped (2025) Vincent Mancini An embarrassing new low for the vanity biopic industry.
Posted Sep 28, 2025  Edit critic review
C-
HIM (2025) Vincent Mancini All sizzle, no steak.
Posted Sep 22, 2025  Edit critic review
D
The Long Walk (2025) Vincent Mancini A grim slog in which sullen young men pontificate a lot.
Posted Sep 14, 2025  Edit critic review
A
Caught Stealing (2025) Vincent Mancini Absolute banger. Aronofsky just made the best Y2K caper movie since Y2K.
Posted Sep 03, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Eden (2024) Vincent Mancini A flawed but nonetheless effectively entertaining yarn. Jude Law hangs dong.
Posted Aug 27, 2025  Edit critic review
C
Highest 2 Lowest (2025) Vincent Mancini An above-average Law & Order episode trapped inside the world's corniest hype reel for New York City.
Posted Aug 24, 2025  Edit critic review
C
Americana (2025) Vincent Mancini Essentially your standard festival movie, with a couple good performances and a handful of interesting ideas that nonetheless never quite come together.

A-
Weapons (2025) Vincent Mancini Cregger manages to retain all of the gonzo charm of his horror debut, 'Barbarian,' only now with great performances and even more focus.
Posted Aug 11, 2025  Edit critic review
A
The Naked Gun (2025) Vincent Mancini Simply being this faithful to the source is a feat, but it's also so much more.
Posted Aug 03, 2025  Edit critic review
B
The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Vincent Mancini Looks great and fun while it lasts but sort of evaporates from memory the second the credits roll.
Posted Jul 29, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Vincent Mancini It feels exactly like a movie produced by the make-a-wish foundation for a terminally-ill 58-year-old, which I say mostly as a compliment. The Sandman is lives out all of our dreams, of hanging with his friends and not working very hard.
Posted Jul 28, 2025  Edit critic review
A
Eddington (2025) Vincent Mancini The first great art about the pandemic. Aster synthesizes every pandemic-era absurdity into a wholly original farcical pastiche that plays something like arthouse South Park.
Posted Jul 27, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Oh, Hi! (2025) Vincent Mancini Molly Gordon shines in the Gen Z dating version of 'Falling Down,' which asks the age-old relationship question: who's worse, the partner who goes crazy or the one who drives them there?
Posted Jul 25, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Superman (2025) Vincent Mancini 'Superman' is a good time and a necessary corrective, and works great when it's absurd. Yet some of Gunn's more serious riffs never quite come together. Maybe in the sequel?
Posted Jul 11, 2025  Edit critic review
B-
F1 The Movie (2025) Vincent Mancini Delivers exactly what you expect and nothing more. Entertaining enough, but at some point the trailer has to stop so the movie can start.
Posted Jun 29, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
28 Years Later (2025) Vincent Mancini Alex Garland has a rare knack for exploring the human tendency to squeeze joy from the worst circumstances. And then the last 15 minutes feel like a prank, but I certainly wasn't bored.

B+
Titan: The OceanGate Disaster (2025) Vincent Mancini You'll never be able to forget the sight of OceanGate's CEO blithely ignoring the sound of his own ship cracking with him inside it.

B+
Materialists (2025) Vincent Mancini 'The Materialist' is the ideal Dakota Johnson showcase so many of us always suspected was possible.
Posted Jun 16, 2025  Edit critic review
C
The Phoenician Scheme (2025) Vincent Mancini Wes Anderson's films usually have a flair for language that elevates the deadpan acting and stiff blocking, but this one was like eating a baguette full of sand.
Posted Jun 11, 2025  Edit critic review
D
Karate Kid: Legends (2025) Vincent Mancini One of the laziest examples of IP-management disguised as filmmaking I've ever seen. It's barely a movie.
Posted Jun 02, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
Friendship (2024) Vincent Mancini Tim Robinson's genius is playing characters who want very little and still can't get it. Probably the hardest I've laughed in a theater in ten years.

B+
Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning (2025) Vincent Mancini Simultaneously kind of mediocre as a movie and yet possibly the greatest sizzle reel for "the movies" ever made.

F
Hurry Up Tomorrow (2025) Vincent Mancini People make dopey music videos all the time. I can't figure out why this one needed to be feature-length and released in theaters.
Posted May 20, 2025  Edit critic review
C
Thunderbolts* (2025) Vincent Mancini Tries to compensate for being basically an origin story for an asterisk with an unholy combination of soy banter and therapy speak.

A-
The Accountant 2 (2025) Vincent Mancini 'The Account2nt' is like the autistic 'Lethal Weapon 2' as produced by Sylvester Stallone. Perfection.

A
Sinners (2025) Vincent Mancini I really didn't expect a cunnilingus-obsessed vampire musical but as it turns out, I'm not against it.
Posted Apr 22, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Black Bag (2025) Vincent Mancini Soderbergh reinvigorates a degraded genre, and himself, with his best in his last... seven movies? Eight?
Posted Mar 16, 2025  Edit critic review
C+
Mickey 17 (2025) Vincent Mancini Enough great ideas for ten other movies, but too many for this one. Bong's genius-level facility for visual comedy is consistently undercut by replacement-level dialogue.
Posted Mar 06, 2025  Edit critic review
C-
Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Vincent Mancini This "oops, all understudies!" take on The Avengers continues the MCU's march to cultural irrelevancy.
Posted Feb 13, 2025  Edit critic review
A-
Nickel Boys (2024) Vincent Mancini I didn't think it was working on me at first and the POV conceit annoyed me, and then all of a sudden I was wrecked.
Posted Feb 02, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
The Brutalist (2024) Vincent Mancini Somehow both masterpiece and muddle, Brady Corbet's politics-swapped riff on The Fountainhead is at the very least never boring.
Posted Jan 26, 2025  Edit critic review
B
Better Man (2024) Vincent Mancini A Robbie Williams biopic that has the same energy as Kenny Powers pumping himself up by listening to his own autobiography. It's a blast.
Posted Jan 21, 2025  Edit critic review
B+
Wolf Man (2025) Vincent Mancini Leigh Whannell takes a schlocky monster premise and turns in a gnarly body horror about degenerative disease. GO TO WOODS AND KILL YOUR DAD!
