Strays
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
It’s a movie that’s like playing fetch with an eager little pup for a little bit. You’ll get a few chuckles and just move on with your life.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
The Last Voyage of the Demeter has plenty of atmospheric dread yet isn’t scary nor fun enough to really captivate the audience.

Gran Turismo: Based on a True Story
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
Ultimately, Gran Turismo is a movie about benevolent corporations making dreams come true. How inspirational.

Meg 2: The Trench
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
The final third of The Meg 2 delivers and it delivers big, sadly just not enough to overcome the dire 80 minutes that preceded it.

Asteroid City
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
Asteroid City will come to be known as Anderson most divisive and challenging film to date, a big artistic swing that is difficult to fully pin down after a single viewing.

The Flash
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
It’s not quite the disaster that some of the previous DC films have been yet it never fully finds its own identity.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
For a film that’s so busy on so many levels, Across the Spider-Verse never gets bogged down in its own mythology nor overly reliant on references and easter eggs.

Evil Dead Rise
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
You’ll squirm. You’ll laugh. You’ll be creeped out. There’s one word for that – groovy.

Renfield
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
Whatever movie Nicolas Cage thought he was making is the movie that I would like to see. Too bad it’s not whatever Renfield is.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
There’s no avoiding the fact that The Super Mario Bros. Movie is an astoundingly poor effort, lacking a compelling story and effective jokes.

Air
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
Air may be a movie about the creation of a shoe, but it’s presented with such a breezy charm that the minutes fly by like the most majestic of Michael Jordan dunks.

John Wick: Chapter 4
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill

It’s a wild orgy of violence.

Creed III
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
While Creed III is no match for the initial film that started it all, it’s still a smart, competent sequel that once again sees Adonis Creed forging his own legacy outside the shadow of his father and Rocky Balboa.

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
Quantumania works best when it’s focused on being a silly self-contained sci-fi movie and not the laying the foundation for the next couple of years of movies and Disney+ shows.

Magic Mike's Last Dance
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
Magic Mike’s Last Dance may be the weakest of the trilogy, but it is still a fantastic piece of entertainment, and that says more about just how good this series has been than it is a knock on this latest sequel.

Knock at the Cabin
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
For an M. Night Shyamalan film, this is all killer and no filler.

80 for Brady
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill

80 for Brady is neither bad enough to fully hate nor good enough to fully love.

Plane
(2023)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
Even entering Plane with modest expectations, director Jean-François Richet’s film fails to connect and winds up being as much fun as going through a TSA checkpoint.

M3GAN
(2022)

It’s a spectacle of silliness that more often than not delivers brazen macabre madness.

Violent Night
(2022)
|

Violent Night is a bloody and ridiculous Die Hard knockoff that works because it knows it’s a bloody and ridiculous Die Hard knockoff.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
(2022)
|
Sean Mulvihill
|
The simple fact is that Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio is too adult for children and too childish for adults.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Marvel’s Phase Four hasn’t been exactly the best era for the studio – Love & Thunder, am I right? – but with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, they saved the best for last.

The Banshees of Inisherin

It’s another masterstroke from Ireland’s premiere filmmaker as it deftly balances on the razor’s edge between hilarity and heartbreak.
