[Barry Poppins]

Weapons (2025) - This Zach Cregger film was an extremely enjoyable mystery horror affair, with Josh Brolin as an incredibly sympathetic and irrational father searching for his lost son. Other notable roles were Julia Garner as a suspect schoolteacher, Austin Abrams as a homeless drug addict, and Cary Christopher as the lone child in Garner's class to not disappear. Weapons plays on expectations, refuses to fully explain the details of why things are the way they are, and additionally utilizes techniques borrowed from Citizen Kane, Rashomon, and Pulp Fiction to tell a story of differing perspectives. 8.5/10
