A Tale of Two Guns (2022) ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
What better way to kick off the week than with a new Guillermo Del Toro film! Nightmare Alley is the story of Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper), a mysterious wanderer who joins a travelling carnival in the 1930’s. As he joins Madame Zeena’s (Toni Collette) mind-reading act, he learns the skills to eventually take himself away from the carnival with his new love Molly (Rooney Mara) to become a spiritualist to the rich and famous. But as Stanton gets mixed up with enigmatic psychoanalyst Lilith Ritter (Cate Blanchett), he may have finally found his match as the stakes get higher and higher in his ongoing con game.Guillermo Del Toro is a director of great style and substance and with Nightmare Alley he has created a modern film noir with such authenticity it is quite a sight to behold.
Hopefully we will continue to see the weather warming up as well as the new release shelves! We kick off the week with a pretty big one, Steven Spielberg’s new adaptation of the classic West Side Story. Set on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in 1957, West Side Story tells the story of two gangs, the Jets and the Sharks. But when former Jet brawler Tony (Ansel Elgort) falls for Maria (Rachel Zegler) the little sister of a Shark, the neighbourhood erupts in an all-out war for turf supremacy. But with all their futures uncertain, can love be the thing that brings them together?
