Writer/director David Mamet gave us Glengarry Glen Ross, Spartan, and The Spanish Prisoner — all personal favorites. His gruff, brutal, cynical, stilted-though-perfectly-crafted-and-intentional dialogue is incredibly unique writing. Quote, “In [the Mamet family], in the days prior to television, we liked to while away the evenings by making ourselves miserable, based solely on our ability to speak the language viciously. That’s probably where my ability was honed.”

Mamet’s latest film, the upcoming Red Belt, is on my radar in a big way. Watch the trailer here (I can’t seem to get the embed to work.) Limited release on April 28th.
