Overbearing foodie Tyler (Nicholas Hoult) whisked unimpressed last-minute date Margot (Anya Taylor-Joy) to an exclusive, $1250-a-head seating at the island bistro of imperious celebrity chef Julian Slowik (Ralph Fiennes). As the evening progresses, though, it becomes apparent that the cunning culinarian will be serving his one-percenter patrons courses of mental and physical cruelty-culminating with just desserts. Savory satirical suspenser also stars Hong Chau, John Leguizamo, Janet McTeer, Judith Light. 107 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

If not broken, do not remake

There was nothing wrong with the original. Why remake with no discernible changes?

Kya Clark was forced to fend for herself after her family abandoned her in a North Carolina swamp as a child in the early 1950s. Now an adult, Kya (Daisy Edgar-Jones) will need every bit of the tenacity and self-reliance she's acquired when she becomes the chief suspect in the murder of an ex-lover who tried to rape her when she broke it off with him. Gripping adaptation of the bestseller by Delia Owens also stars Taylor John Smith, Harris Dickinson, and David Strathairn. 125 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English. Two-disc set.

![Nightmare Alley - BLU-RAY [Standard]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/prescaled/500/500/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/4494a78e-0318-4a35-9ccf-c27af867c0dd.jpg)
Having learned the nuances of a mentalist act during his stint as a carny, calculating drifter Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) headed for New York to establish himself as a society psychic. However, his overreach in partnering with corrupt psychologist Lilith Ritter (Cate Blanchett) in order to better fleece the big town's elite will come with a shattering price. Guillermo del Toro's stylishly foreboding redo of the 1947 noir staple also stars Rooney Mara, Toni Collette, Willem Dafoe, Richard Jenkins. 150 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Great remake
on August 22, 2022
Posted by: Penguin
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great remake, but the problem with remaking a story with a “twist” ending is that the viewer is aware.

In 2016, with his salad days as an adult film star in L.A. behind him, Mike InchMikey SaberInch Davies (Simon Rex) slunk back to his modest Texas hometown and begged his estranged wife Lexi (Bree Elrod) to take him in. Turning to dope dealing after legitimate employers turn him away, the inveterate hustler might soon have cause to regret pulling a teenage donut shop counter girl (Suzanna Son) into his toils. Sean Baker's trenchant dramedy also stars Ethan Darbone, Judy Hill. 130 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.

Scummy characters

As the viewer I could not relate to any of the grifting, scummy characters and did not care what happened to any of them.
