West Side Story [Played April 22 as part of AARP's Movies for Grownups and available on various VOD platforms.] Memorable song and dance numbers dominate Steven Spielberg's Oscar-nominated, entertaining, well-acted, enjoyable, violent, star-studded (Rita Moreno, Jamie Harris, Harvey Evans, Sean Harrison Jones, and Mike Iveson), 156-minute musical remake of the 1961 classic highlighted by awesome choreography, musical score, cinematography, and costumes in which sparks fly between an Angelo ex-con (Ansel Elgort) and a beautiful Latina (Rachel Zegler) in a Romeo and Juliet romance amidst rival white Jet gang members (Mike Faist, Patrick Higgins, Iris Menas, Paloma Garcia-Lee, Julian Elia, et al.) and Puerto Rican Shark gang members (David Alvarez, Ariana DeBose, Josh Andrés Rivera, Ana Isabelle, et al.) trying to stay one step ahead of the cops (Corey Stoll, Brian d'Arcy, and Ryan Woodle) as they attempt to leave their guns and knives at home and use their feet rather than fists in rumbles as they dance and break into song to gain control of their impoverished neighborhood in 1957 in Manhattan, which is undergoing demolition to build ritzy apartments, but when a fight ensues and deaths occur, the weapons come out.
