3.5/5
Hustle (2022) Sean Mulvihill Hustle can’t outrun the sports movie cliches that prevent it from being anything more than just a nice, competent sports movie.

4.5/5
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022) Sean Mulvihill Sam Raimi didnt make a Marvel movie. Marvel made a Sam Raimi movie.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2022) Sean Mulvihill This chainsaw is all out of gas.

2.5/5
Uncharted (2022) Sean Mulvihill Uncharted is an odd, disjointed film that features no shortage of big set pieces slathered in CGI, but what it really lacks is a personality.

5/5
Jackass Forever (2022) Sean Mulvihill If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough. These are some dumb, tough so-and-sos and we're all better off for it.

4/5
The Matrix Resurrections (2021) Sean Mulvihill This isn't a retcon. This isn't "for the fans." This is a bold, daring piece of blockbuster filmmaking.

4/5
The Tragedy of Macbeth (2021) Sean Mulvihill The Tragedy of Macbeth is a meticulously crafted, visually stunning, and well-acted Shakespeare adaptation.

3/5
The King's Man (2021) Sean Mulvihill The result is something of a mixed bag, delivering plenty of thrilling action but not the same raucous sensibility that made the first film so much fun. All in all, The King's Man is a decent entertainment.

4/5
The Card Counter (2020) Sean Mulvihill Schrader interrogates the difference between the nation's professed ideals and its actions, and does so in an engrossing drama that isn't about lecturing the audience or pandering to preexisting political beliefs.

4/5
Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) Sean Mulvihill With the burden of intense internet hype surrounding the film, Spider-Man: No Way Home delivers the goods with an entertaining journey that thoughtfully honors the past two decades of Spider-Man on the silver screen.

4.5/5
Nightmare Alley (2021) Sean Mulvihill This is a bleak, fatalistic work of cinema that is one of the most beautiful productions of the year.

3/5
Don't Look Up (2021) Sean Mulvihill The end of the world isn't hilarious. It merely elicits plenty of chuckles.
Posted Dec 08, 2021  Edit critic review
4/5
West Side Story (2021) Sean Mulvihill West Side Story is a winner, deftly balancing a vibrant homage to the 1961 musical while also updating elements of the story that it's a much more clear-eyed version of the story that truly grapples with inherent racial tensions at play.

5/5
Licorice Pizza (2021) Sean Mulvihill Leaving the theater after Licorice Pizza, I was riding the high of knowing that I had just seen one of my favorite films of all time.

3/5
Eternals (2021) Sean Mulvihill At times Zhao's superhero epic is able to breakaway from the Marvel mold, but in the end the movie is still beholden to the broader MCU.
Posted Oct 26, 2021  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Dune (2021) Sean Mulvihill Dune isn't a disaster, but it is a bloated, icy work that is nigh impossible to connect with on an emotional or intellectual level.
Posted Oct 18, 2021  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Halloween Kills (2021) Sean Mulvihill I was entertained throughout Halloween Kills with its ridiculously high body count, geysers of gore, and a vicious streak of misanthropy.

5/5
The Velvet Underground (2021) Sean Mulvihill There has rarely been such a perfect match of filmmaker and subject.
Posted Oct 13, 2021  Edit critic review
3/5
Venom: Let There Be Carnage (2021) Sean Mulvihill What a difference a bit of tonal consistency can make.

3.5/5
No Time to Die (2021) Sean Mulvihill Despites its ample flaws, I mostly had fun with No Time to Die and found it to be a fitting conclusion to Craig's memorable yet uneven tenure as Bond.
Posted Sep 29, 2021  Edit critic review
0.5/5
Dear Evan Hansen (2021) Sean Mulvihill Dear Evan Hansen is a completely irredeemable piece of work, a smug self-serious musical that somehow is able to trivialize mental illness and suicide.
Posted Sep 21, 2021  Edit critic review
4/5
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021) Sean Mulvihill For his first blockbuster, Destin Daniel Cretton has made a genuinely fun crowd-pleaser that expands the MCU both in its setting and in its representation.

5/5
Annette (2021) Sean Mulvihill There's truly never been anything like Annette.
Posted Aug 04, 2021  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Jungle Cruise (2021) Sean Mulvihill Jungle Cruise provides a pulpy adventure that delights and entertains throughout.

4/5
Old (2021) Sean Mulvihill Old is the best combination of script and direction that Shyamalan has delivered since Unbreakable.
Posted Jul 22, 2021  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Cruella (2021) Sean Mulvihill Cruella is glossy enough to catch your eye, but there's nothing under that sheen that sticks with you.
Posted May 26, 2021  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Army Of The Dead (2021) Sean Mulvihill If this film were tightened up, it would've been absolutely great. As it stands, Army of the Dead is merely good.
Posted May 12, 2021  Edit critic review
3/5
Wrath of Man (2021) Sean Mulvihill It's neither a triumph nor a disaster. In other words, Wrath of Man is a Guy Ritchie movie.
Posted May 06, 2021  Edit critic review
4.5/5
The Mitchells vs. the Machines (2021) Sean Mulvihill The Mitchells vs. the Machines doesn't just deliver eye-popping action and big laughs, it's also got a big heart.

3.5/5
Boys from County Hell (2020) Sean Mulvihill Boys From County Hell gave me everything I wanted from an Irish vampire movie - plenty of ghastly death scenes oozing with gore and plenty of profane laughs.

2.5/5
Mortal Kombat (2021) Sean Mulvihill In a lot of ways it feels like a long lost '90s movie with its wobbly plotting, underwhelming effects, and comically bad acting.
Posted Apr 22, 2021  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Tiny Tim: King for a Day (2020) Sean Mulvihill It's a fascinating biography that takes the viewer beyond Tiny Tim's unique aesthetics and into the heart and soul of the man.

2/5
Thunder Force (2021) Sean Mulvihill It's modestly amusing at times but it goes through you like junk food.
Posted Apr 09, 2021  Edit critic review
5/5
Bad Trip (2021) Sean Mulvihill The genius of Bad Trip isn't that it completely rewrites the rules of the prank movie, but that it takes the established form and pushes it new limits.

4.5/5
Nobody (2021) Sean Mulvihill When the smoke has cleared and the broken bones are set, Nobody will stick with you as the kind of thrill ride a good action flick should be.

4/5
Slaxx (2020) Sean Mulvihill This is a collision of art and trash, of smart and stupid. It's a perfect fit.
Posted Mar 19, 2021  Edit critic review
4/5
Happily (2021) Sean Mulvihill Happily is the kind of movie that is just daring you to guess where everything is going - only you will never ever get it right.

2/5
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) Sean Mulvihill Years of tweets have brought us a superhero movie that is kinda different than before but mostly similar and very long so it turns out hashtag ReleaseTheSnyderCut worked and PLEASE DON'T KILL BECAUSE I DIDN'T LIKE YOUR MOVIE.

3.5/5
Coming 2 America (2021) Sean Mulvihill It took more than 30 years but Coming 2 America takes us back to Zamunda and it's an absolutely delightful return.

2/5
Cherry (2021) Sean Mulvihill With Cherry, the Russo Brothers fail to rein in the overstuffed narrative nor do they deliver any impactful moments of action or character.
Posted Mar 03, 2021  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Fatale (2020) Sean Mulvihill Fatale just isn't sexy or sleazy enough to be truly captivating. Instead, Fatale basically lives down to its premise as nothing more than a Fatal Attraction knockoff.
Posted Mar 02, 2021  Edit critic review
4/5
Raya and the Last Dragon (2021) Sean Mulvihill Raya and the Last Dragon is an absolutely dazzling visual feast of animated brilliance.
Posted Mar 01, 2021  Edit critic review
2/5
Tom & Jerry (2021) Sean Mulvihill There's actually a good Tom and Jerry movie buried in here, but the flat, indifferent filmmaking on display eventually buries all of the film's potential.

4.5/5
Nomadland (2020) Sean Mulvihill Hit the road with Nomadland. It's a journey you won't forget any time soon.
Posted Feb 19, 2021  Edit critic review
4.5/5
Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) Sean Mulvihill We need films like Judas and the Black Messiah to remind us where our country has fallen tragically short so we don't idealize a fictitious past.

5/5
The Sparks Brothers (2021) Sean Mulvihill As someone wiser than myself once said, talent is an asset and The Sparks Brothers certainly have it.
Posted Jan 31, 2021  Edit critic review
The Blues Brothers (1980) Sean Mulvihill Not only is it the first SNL movie, The Blues Brothers is the best (the only other ones of discernable quality are Wayne's World and MacGruber) of the SNL crop.
Posted Dec 19, 2020  Edit critic review
2.5/5
Mank (2020) Sean Mulvihill In the end, Mank, like the writer it's about, merely stands in the large, looming shadow of Citizen Kane.
Posted Dec 02, 2020  Edit critic review
4/5
Crock of Gold: A Few Rounds With Shane MacGowan (2020) Sean Mulvihill Crock of Gold is a marvelously crafted work non-fiction storytelling, a moving portrait of a self-destructive poet.
Posted Dec 01, 2020  Edit critic review
3.5/5
Belushi (2020) Sean Mulvihill It's a crisp, well-presented biography that goes deeper than just the surface, but not deep enough to leave the viewer fully sated.
