"Road to Perdition" by Sam Mendes (2002)

For the first time in ages, I revisited this film, and it was like experiencing it anew. What an absolute masterpiece – possibly Sam Mendes' finest work. It's a knockout from both a narrative and technical perspective. Mendes showcases his directorial prowess, playing with focus, orchestrating the rain-soaked shootout scene, and employing reflections in the final shot with finesse. Collaborating with Conrad L. Hall, who won an Oscar for his cinematography, and Thomas Newman, whose score is phenomenal, Mendes brings this story to life beautifully.

Script-wise, it's as compelling as they come. While it's a mobster movie, it unfolds with a unique calmness, smoothly unveiling its underlying brutality. Violence, shootouts, and assassinations are often implied rather than explicitly shown. Unlike Goodfellas or The Godfather, the focus here shifts to revenge and the bond between a father and son. The pacing and structure are spot-on, with a shocking moment kicking off the second act and keeping you on edge until the credits roll.

The ending is as disheartening as it is shocking, delivering a powerful gut punch. Tom Hanks, stepping out of his comfort zone, delivers a stellar performance. Supporting actors Jude Law, Stanley Tucci, Tyler Hoechlin, and a young Daniel Craig all shine. But it’s the legendary Paul Newman, in his final live-action role, who steals the show. What a way to bow out; he would've been my pick for Best Supporting Actor that year.

This film deserves more recognition and remains a perennial recommendation—especially fitting for Father’s Day.

That’s right everyone I am back! And today I’m introducing a new thing where I get to show my appreciation for some of my favorite filmmakers. For today’s inaugural “Director Spotlight”, I chose one of my favorite directors ever. One of the directors that has influenced my writing, my thinking; my whole life. Our first director, ladies and gentlemen, is Richard Linklater.

I love the authenticity Richard Linklater strives for in his films. Sure, there are outliers like A Scanner Darkly or Hit Man—both phenomenal in their own right—but no one captures real life on screen quite like him. He has that Robert Altman quality in his dialogue, where conversations feel casual and lived-in instead of overly scripted, but he marries it with an optimism and joy that elevates everyday experiences.

His movies are about falling in love, graduating high school, going to college, or simply showing us what an ordinary life looks like from ages 6 to 18. The Before trilogy is literally just two people walking and talking across three films, yet to me, it’s the greatest trilogy in cinema history. Because what they say—and how they say it—feels so true, so universal. Dazed and Confused has the same effect; it could almost pass for a documentary about teenagers on their last day of senior year.

They’re slices of life, presented with such honesty that they resonate worldwide. For me, no other director makes these everyday moments feel more authentic and relatable than Linklater. His work continues to inspire my own screenwriting, and I couldn’t love him more for it.

Richard Linklater’s “Nouvelle Vague” releases on October 8th, 2025. And his other new film, “Blue Moon”, goes wide on October 24th, 2025.

Personal favorite: “Dazed and Confused” (1993)
Highest rated: Tie between “Before Sunrise” (1995) and “Before Sunset” (2004)
Underrated: “A Scanner Darkly” (2006)

"Weapons" by Zach Cregger (2025)

Gosh, I love this film. I said Eddington was my #2 of the year, but Weapons has already overtaken that spot. I can’t shake it. I’ve seen it twice and I’m dying to see it again. It’s one of the most unique, inventive, and thrilling horror movies I’ve seen in years.

The script is my favorite of 2025 so far. The chapter structure is brilliant: each character’s perspective reveals more of the big picture, and the arcs you assume will be minor — Marcus, James — end up carrying the film’s most important twists. It’s loaded with red herrings and misdirection, but it never loses coherence. Justine’s first chapter alone walks such a razor’s edge, painting her as both persecuted victim and possible culprit. By the time Marcus, James, and Alex’s chapters roll out, the scope of what’s happening hits like a hammer.

The film is full of unforgettable moments: the Marcus house sequence with Amy Madigan’s Gladys (an instant classic), the violent chaos unfolding offscreen while she calmly washes her hands, the eerie dinner scene with Alex’s parents, Marcus and Justine’s convenience store standoff, James’ chaotic robbery (“Oh s**t, Willow!” had me laughing for several minutes).

Performances are damn near perfect. Julia Garner, Josh Brolin, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams (MVP), Benedict Wong, Cary Christopher — all outstanding. But Amy Madigan steals the film. Gladys is one of the best horror villains of the last 10–15 years. Every glance, every line, terrifying.

Aside from a few nitpicks, this is a 9.5/10. Zach Cregger is two-for-two, and he deserves a blank check for whatever’s next. Weapons is an absolute tour de force, and my second favorite movie of the year.
