B-
Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024) Vincent Mancini Would be pretty dull and derivative if not for the giant alligator in the third act, which keeps things just fun enough.

B+
The Fall Guy (2024) Vincent Mancini Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling's chemistry is more exciting than any of the stunts.

A-
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga (2024) Vincent Mancini It rips. Give Chris Hemsworth and his fake nose the Oscar. Two Oscars.

A-
Problemista (2023) Vincent Mancini A story about trying to navigate indifferent bureaucracy and weather the petty indignities of capitalism told with a comedian’s wit and a budding visual artist’s stylistic panache.

C
Unfrosted (2024) Vincent Mancini What if they made the WHOLE MOVIE out of POP TARTS? I mean What. Is. The Deal?!

A-
Challengers (2024) Vincent Mancini Luca Guadagnino shoots tennis like a high class Eurotrash porno which turns out to be something I never knew I needed.
Posted Apr 26, 2024  Edit critic review
C
Civil War (2024) Vincent Mancini Unpleasantness in search of a narrative justification.
Posted Apr 15, 2024  Edit critic review
C
Road House (2024) Vincent Mancini Jake Gyllenhaal briefly makes a Road House remake feel like not such a bad idea and then Conor McGregor shows and reminds you that it is.
Posted Mar 25, 2024  Edit critic review
A
American Fiction (2023) Vincent Mancini A smart, wonderfully acted story about the demands of personal art and the performance of blackness.

A-
Spaceman (2024) Vincent Mancini Stars Adam Sandler as a depressed astronaut who discusses his failing marriage with a giant spider and the big joke is that it’s not really a comedy. I loved it.

A-
Dune: Part Two (2024) Vincent Mancini A wildly-entertaining, fully-realized spectacle that cements Villeneuve's place as a best-in-a-generation stylist but raises some questions about his understanding of story.

C+
Lisa Frankenstein (2024) Vincent Mancini There's an interesting high-concept comedy in here, but it's buried beneath homage and muddled period touches. Film producers need to have their eighties nostalgia privileges taken away.

B
The Beekeeper (2024) Vincent Mancini Kurt Wimmer wrote an entire action movie based on a random fact he learned about bees, and that's great.
Posted Feb 05, 2024  Edit critic review
C+
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (2023) Vincent Mancini There's a weird charm to its utter stupidity, but not enough to transcend this thankfully dying genre.
Posted Dec 23, 2023  Edit critic review
B-
Ferrari (2023) Vincent Mancini The traditional biopic version of Enzo Ferrari is in constant competition with a better movie about tyrannical horsepower junkies and their handsome cannon fodder.
Posted Dec 23, 2023  Edit critic review
B
Leave the World Behind (2023) Vincent Mancini An apocalyptic "Big Mystery" movie with an ending that's sort of a troll. But it's a good troll.
Posted Dec 21, 2023  Edit critic review
D
Candy Cane Lane (2023) Vincent Mancini In 17 years of writing about movies, Candy Cane Lane stands out one of the more baffling experiences I've had.
Posted Dec 08, 2023  Edit critic review
A
The Holdovers (2023) Vincent Mancini Legitimately one of the best Christmas movies ever made. It's also the perfect Wes Anderson movie for people who don't like Wes Anderson.
Posted Nov 30, 2023  Edit critic review
B
Napoleon (2023) Vincent Mancini Ridley Scott's Napoleon is a battlefield genius and a bedroom klutz, and the latter depiction ends up being a lot more memorable than the first.
Posted Nov 17, 2023  Edit critic review
A-
The Killer (2023) Vincent Mancini Michael Fassbender's modern hitman murders people from an abandoned WeWork, eats tactical McMuffins , and sounds like AJ Soprano. Wonderful.
Posted Nov 15, 2023  Edit critic review
A
Killers of the Flower Moon (2023) Vincent Mancini Not only worthy of Scorsese's acclaim, but one of the best adaptations of historical non-fiction ever.
Posted Oct 23, 2023  Edit critic review
Cassandro (2023) Vincent Mancini A breezy, beautifully acted ad for its subject that prioritizes what makes him inspirational over what makes him interesting.
Posted Oct 12, 2023  Edit critic review
B+
The Creator (2023) Vincent Mancini The story is missing some connective tissue and follow through, but the imagery is so evocative that you don't always miss it. There's a textural richness to Edwards' scenes that few filmmakers can match.
Posted Sep 30, 2023  Edit critic review
B+
Dumb Money (2023) Vincent Mancini 'Dumb Money' is pretty good, even if the culture of instant nostalgia that forced it to rush into production to beat out nine competing projects is pretty terrible.
Posted Sep 22, 2023  Edit critic review
D
Elemental (2023) Vincent Mancini "Trying to make a character out of a cloud" is a sadly apt metaphor for this whole doomed endeavor.
Posted Sep 20, 2023  Edit critic review
A-
Bottoms (2023) Vincent Mancini A comedy so beautifully anarchic it feels like clapter's death rattle.
Posted Sep 01, 2023  Edit critic review
C+
Blue Beetle (2023) Vincent Mancini Largely good natured and charmingly Mexican-flavored, it's also crucially lacking in coherent action set pieces. And so it's a bit like a cup full of drywall insulation covered with Tajín and Chamoy.
Posted Aug 21, 2023  Edit critic review
B
Asteroid City (2023) Vincent Mancini A brilliant movie about the Atomic Age trapped inside a dumb framing device about art.
Posted Aug 14, 2023  Edit critic review
A
Barbie (2023) Vincent Mancini Give Gosling the Oscar.
Posted Jul 26, 2023  Edit critic review
B
Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) Vincent Mancini Manages to entertainingly encompass every surface-level tenet of an Indiana Jones movie without finding the soul.
Posted Jul 04, 2023  Edit critic review
B
The Flash (2023) Vincent Mancini We've already seen this premise four or five times, but this is oddly one of the better versions of it, thanks to action scenes that feel like more than placeholders.
Posted Jun 20, 2023  Edit critic review
C
Flamin' Hot (2023) Vincent Mancini Flamin Hot sells an Undercover Boss fairytale of capitalism. The actual, Catch Me If You Can-style story, about clever liars and willing cons, would've been much more interesting.
Posted Jun 09, 2023  Edit critic review
D
Fast X (2023) Vincent Mancini Discount action movie slurry.
Posted May 20, 2023  Edit critic review
B-
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) Vincent Mancini Marvel's best movie in at least five years -- and then it goes on for another 40 awful minutes.
Posted May 06, 2023  Edit critic review
C
Cocaine Bear (2023) Vincent Mancini 'Cocaine Bear' is like if you bought a funny t-shirt and then found out you had to wear it every day for an entire year. Or like the meme equivalent of your dad catching you smoking and making you finish the pack.
Posted Feb 27, 2023  Edit critic review
D
Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) Vincent Mancini The MCU has become an emotional Ponzi Scheme. You're expected to watch not because this will make you feel something today, but in the hopes that this continuity will matter somewhere down the line.
Posted Feb 17, 2023  Edit critic review
C+
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) Vincent Mancini 'Avatar' was about a clash of civilizations. 'The Way Of The Water' is a revenge story that wears thin after a while. The whales were cool though.
Posted Dec 19, 2022  Edit critic review
B-
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) Vincent Mancini Much better looking and more tasteful than most Marvel movies, but how many supposedly "anti-colonial" comic book movies are we going to make where the big baddy is another oppressed person?

C
Armageddon Time (2022) Vincent Mancini Paul learns from his wise old grandpa that you should always confront racism, but 'Armageddon Time' never explores what that might look like.
Posted Nov 14, 2022  Edit critic review
C-
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Vincent Mancini I was thrilled about the idea of a new Sam Raimi comic book movie, but Doctor Strange 2 suggests that these days, Marvel characters are the Apes and directors are just the Slurp Juice.
Posted May 05, 2022  Edit critic review
C-
The Batman (2022) Vincent Mancini Controversial opinion: a Batman movie should not be longer than 'The Godfather.'
Posted Mar 11, 2022  Edit critic review
C+
No Time to Die (2021) Vincent Mancini The once-insouciant spy hero became intense and obsessive when Daniel Craig started to play him, only to become mawkish and sentimental in his final chapter.
Posted Oct 08, 2021  Edit critic review
B
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) Vincent Mancini Just imagine Look Who's Talking starring Tom Hardy as the baby and Tom Hardy doing a Cookie Monster voice as Bruce Willis. Perfection.
Posted Oct 01, 2021  Edit critic review
B-
The Suicide Squad (2021) Vincent Mancini The first half is everything you could want from a superhero movie and the second half is everything we've sadly come to expect from them.
Posted Aug 06, 2021  Edit critic review
B-
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) Vincent Mancini An inspired vision of the same superhero team up plot we've seen 17 times now. Please let it be the last.
Posted Mar 18, 2021  Edit critic review
C
Pieces of a Woman (2020) Vincent Mancini Flattens its characters' grief into the usual collection of festival movie clichés.
Posted Jan 11, 2021  Edit critic review
C+
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020) Vincent Mancini Entertaining enough, and refreshingly light in many ways, but so vague in all its key points that it's hard to be especially invested.
Posted Dec 24, 2020  Edit critic review
C+
News of the World (2020) Vincent Mancini Tom Hanks educates the ignorant rabble in what feels like a lukewarm liberal take on The Searchers.
Posted Dec 22, 2020  Edit critic review
B+
The Midnight Sky (2020) Vincent Mancini Clooney's ambitious, dystopian space drama is slick but never falsely saccharine, a worthy addition to the "sad astronaut" canon.
Posted Dec 22, 2020  Edit critic review
C
Hillbilly Elegy (2020) Vincent Mancini Ron Howard turns a tale of entertaining hillbilly dysfunction into a repetitive after-school special.
