New York Knicks shooting guard Josh Hart is still adjusting to life as a NBA champ. Thankfully, some things — like his home life with his wife, Shannon Hart (née Phillips), and their 3-year-old twins — stay the same, no matter what.

“You’re getting pulled in so many different directions, it’s always good to have a good foundation — a sounding board to kind of always come back to,” Hart, 31, exclusively told Us on Thursday, August 20, while discussing his new role as Scouting America ambassador.

“And obviously, you know, they’re there to support you through all those moments and coach those, you know, appearances with you or work out with you, you know — those kind of things,” he continued of how vital his wife’s support has been since he made his NBA debut with the Los Angeles Lakers on October 20, 2017. “So for me, it’s been a great time because obviously we travel so much during the year and, you know, game days are basically, ‘Walk through, take a nap and then get in the car and go.’”

He added, “So it’s been great to kind of, obviously, have that sounding board and support system — like I said — to always kind of ball back on and, you know, comfort [you].”

Hart and his wife have been together since August 2021 and share 3-year-old twin boys Hendrix and Haze. After joining the Knicks in 2023 after the franchise acquired the guard via a trade from the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for three players — Cam Reddish, Ryan Arcidiacono and Svi Mykhailiuk — and a future draft pick, Hart helped the Knicks win their first NBA Finals Championship over 50 years.

Now that he has a NBA ring to go with his NCAA championship hardware (Hart was a member of the 2016 Villanova Wildcats championship team), the athlete is looking to the future while navigating superstardom and keeping one foot firmly planted on the ground thanks to his family.

“August has been the most chill time that I’ve kind of had, and I still have stuff that I’m doing,” he said of his post-championship summer. “I’m out east and now I’m able to kind of separate myself from it and appreciate it. But initially, it was just a whirlwind. You’re doing so many different things — you’re doing interviews here, you’re doing brand appearances where. You’re doing — I didn’t go to the ESPYs, thankfully — but you have award shows.”

Jessie James Decker is opening up about her decision to remove her breast implants.

“I’ve officially locked in the date and made the decision to take out my VERY large breast implants,” Decker, 38, wrote via Instagram on Friday, August 21. “I know I’ve been talking about this for probably six months, but I’m finally setting things into motion!”

The country singer underwent a breast augmentation in 2021 before ultimately deciding to get the implants taken out.

“Ultimately, I would love to explant altogether, but I know myself, and realistically I’m not sure I’m totally ready for that yet,” Decker said, referring to the surgery to remove implants. “I’ve had such large ones for so long I don’t know what I have underneath it all.  What I think I’m ready for is what they’re calling juicy ballerina boobies!?”

Decker credited her recent and ongoing “fitness journey” with inspiring her decision.

“I’ve been on such a fitness journey with y’all and my @jjdfitclub getting stronger and more confident than ever,” she wrote of her eponymous training program. “I’m not stopping and I don’t want anything holding me back. This strong girl era has really helped me feel more connected to my body and what feels right for me. I just don’t feel like these big implants fit who I am anymore.”

Decker, a mom of four, explained how welcoming son Denver in 2024 “really kickstarted” her “less is more chapter.” (In addition to Denver, Jessie and husband Eric Decker share daughter Vivianne, 12, and sons Eric Jr., 10, and Forrest, 8.)

“I want less maintenance in my life and I’m embracing my natural girl era,” she continued. “Maybe it’s getting closer to 40, but I’ve reached this place where I want to feel the most like myself. Having a daughter has made me think about it even more. I never want her to feel like she has to do all this upkeep to feel beautiful.”

Jessie further noted via her Instagram Stories on Friday that she was “undecided” about whether to have explant surgery or instead “downsize” her implants.

Jessie James Decker has been known to confront body-shamers over the years, but her confidence didn’t come easily.

“What has been decided is that I don’t want them in my way anymore,” she stated.

Jessie launched her JJD Fit Club app in June.

“I know how easy it is to keep putting yourself on the back burner. To say ‘I’ll start when things calm down’ or ‘I’ll start when I have more time,’” Jessie wrote via Instagram earlier this month, promoting her fitness program. “I didn’t wake up one day and magically become the strongest version of myself. This has been YEARS of showing up, starting again, pushing through different seasons of life, having babies, having hard days, having moments I didn’t feel like doing it … and STILL choosing to keep going!!!!”

Jamie Foxx is expecting a child with his girlfriend, Alyce Huckstepp, but the thought of becoming a father again initially left the actor with some serious doubts.

The “Ray” actor and Huckstepp were first linked in August 2022 when they attended the premiere of “Day Shift” together. Their romance became more serious in 2023, and the pair were later seen vacationing at the Nobu Hotel in Los Cabos, Mexico.

After going through a breakup and eventually finding their way back to each other, Foxx and Huckstepp are now preparing to embrace a new chapter. 

5

During a recent conversation with his eldest daughter, Corinne Foxx, the actor admitted he questioned whether he was ready to take on fatherhood once more, after 15 years.

“Being my age, I was a little on the fence,” Foxx told E! News. “But then I ran into Al Pacino a few months ago.” 

The encounter gave the Oscar winner the reassurance he needed to embrace the idea. “I said, ‘Al, you gonna be back in the drop-off line?’” Foxx recalled asking the octogenarian who welcomed a son two years ago. “I said, ‘Aw man, shoot, I’m good!’”

Foxx is already a father to Corinne, whom he shares with Connie Klein, and Anelise Bishop, whose mother is Kristin Grannis. The forthcoming baby with Huckstepp would be his third child and the couple’s first together.

Fans Celebrated Foxx’s Baby News

Before Foxx publicly confirmed the pregnancy, rumors first surfaced in May that he and Huckstepp were expecting a child.

The news quickly sparked excitement among fans, with one X user celebrating the development and sending their best wishes to the couple as they prepare for parenthood.

Another user described the announcement as a major personal milestone, adding that “Foxx has had quite a journey,” per The Blast.

Jamie Foxx And Huckstepp Reunited Last Year After Their Split

While Foxx and the fitness model are now preparing to welcome their baby, their relationship has not been without its ups and downs.

The couple reportedly broke up in January 2025, and before then, the actor admitted to changing his dating preferences.  He performed a song in his Netflix special, “Jamie Foxx What Had Happened Was…” declaring, “I’ve been cured. I’ve been cured of everything, no more white girls.”

However, by August, The Blast reported that Foxx and the Australian model were seen together on a date, appearing to have rekindled their romance.

 For the outing, the “Strays” actor wore a patterned shirt with ripped jeans, sneakers, a wide-brimmed hat, silver chains, and shades. Huckstepp paired a sparkling silver bralette under mesh with black pants, heels, a chain purse, and a sleek ponytail.

The ‘Django Unchained’ Star Strongly Reacted To The BAFTA Scandal

Aside from Foxx’s personal life, he has remained outspoken about events in the entertainment industry.

In February, the actor criticized the BAFTA Awards after Tourette’s activist John Davidson was heard using a racial slur during the ceremony.

The incident occurred as actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo took the stage to present the evening’s first award, when the offensive word was heard from the audience.

According to The Blast, Foxx did not hold back in expressing his opinion and suggested that Davidson’s use of the word was intentional. “Out of all the words you could’ve said, Tourette’s makes you say that. Nah he meant that sh-t. Unacceptable,” Foxx lamented. 

As Foxx’s comments drew reactions, Tourette’s Action, a UK charity, explained that involuntary vocal tics associated with Tourette syndrome are not intentional and do not reflect a person’s beliefs or character. 

Foxx Praised Michael B. Jordan After Oscar Win

While speaking out about the incident, Foxx has also celebrated his fellow actor’s wins. Jordan claimed the Best Actor award for his performance as twin brothers in Ryan Coogler’s period vampire film “Sinners.”

During his acceptance speech, Jordan paid tribute to the Black actors who paved the way for his success, including Foxx, Denzel Washington, and Halle Berry. 

Per The Blast, Foxx was excited to see the “Creed” star mention him in the ranks of Black performers who have earned recognition. 

He reposted a video of Jordan’s speech and wrote, “Words can’t express how proud I am of you. You deserve this and so much more. Congratulations, my brother.”

A trilogy is a much harder thing to pull off than a single great movie, since you need three separate stories that each work on their own and still add up to something bigger by the time the credits roll on the last one. A lot of trilogies coast on the first film’s goodwill and just get worse from there.

These six didn’t do that. Every one of them either stayed level across all three entries or actually improved as it went, which is rarer than it sounds. Some of these films are the greatest movies ever produced in Hollywood. Good to best, have a look at them below.

6

‘Captain America Trilogy’ (2011–2016)

Image via Marvel Studios

Each movie in this trilogy is basically a different genre with the same lead actor. The First Avenger is a pulpy World War II adventure, Winter Soldier is the second one which turns into a 70s political paranoia thriller openly inspired by Three Days of the Condor, and Civil War, the last one becomes a full ensemble political drama that barely has room for its own title character.

Anthony and Joe Russo came from sitcom backgrounds, Arrested Development and Community, before taking over the back two entries, and the elevator fight in Winter Soldier alone is still held up as one of the best pieces of action choreography the entire Marvel universe has produced. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) anchors all three films despite the genre whiplash and he is still easily one of the most favorite Avengers of teenagers and adults.

5

‘How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy’ (2010–2019)

Image via Universal Pictures

Dean DeBlois directed all three of these movies, which is rarer than it sounds for an animated franchise, and it shows in how consistent the emotional throughline stays across almost a decade of real time. Hiccup (Jay Baruchel) loses his father partway through the second film, and by the third, he has to let Toothless go be with his own kind instead of keeping him forever, which is a genuinely mature thing to ask a kids’ franchise to sit with.

You can actually watch the animation technology improve across the three movies, fur, water, and fire all get noticeably more detailed by the third installment. Not many franchises built for children trust their audience with actual grief and actual goodbyes the way this one does.

4

‘Planet of the Apes Reboot Trilogy’ (2011–2017)

Image via 20th Century Studios

Caesar (Andy Serkis) is one of the best performances of the last two decades built entirely through motion capture, and he never once feels like a special effect, but only a tragic figure slowly losing the fight to keep his own ideals intact. Matt Reeves took over directing for the last two entries and leaned hard into genuine moral weight instead of just monkeys-with-guns show.

War for the Planet of the Apes borrows heavily from prison camp movies and Apocalypse Now, which is an unusual place for a summer blockbuster about talking apes to end up. Serkis never got an Oscar nomination for any of this, despite basically every critic agreeing he deserved one, and that omission still gets brought up as one of the Academy’s bigger blind spots.

3

‘The Dark Knight Trilogy’ (2005–2012)

Christopher Nolan built each entry in this trilogy as a completely different genre stitched onto the same character. Batman Begins is a training film, The Dark Knight is a crime thriller, and The Dark Knight Rises is closer to a war epic about revolution. None of these films looks like it belongs to a superhero movie in the way that word usually gets used.

Heath Ledger’s posthumous Oscar for playing the Joker is the moment most people remember, but the bigger legacy is what this trilogy did for the genre as a whole. It proved that a movie about a guy in a bat costume could get taken seriously by people who’d normally skip anything with a cape in it. IMAX became a real blockbuster format partly because Nolan kept insisting on using it here first.

2

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy’ (2014–2023)

James Gunn directed all three of these and built the whole thing around a soundtrack gimmick that turned into two genuinely bestselling real albums, Awesome Mix Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) leads a team of misfits that starts out as comic relief and slowly turns into one of the more emotionally devastating found-family stories in any recent blockbuster franchise.

Gunn actually got fired from the franchise briefly over old resurfaced tweets before the third movie, then got rehired once Disney reversed course, and Vol. 3 ended up dealing with a genuinely dark, upsetting backstory for Rocket involving real animal cruelty. It’s a rare trilogy that gets more emotionally serious with each entry without ever losing its sense of humor.

No studio had ever greenlit three blockbuster films shot back to back before knowing whether the first one would even work, and Peter Jackson filmed all three of these together in New Zealand over about eighteen months anyway, an enormous gamble that could have bankrupted everyone involved if audiences hadn’t shown up.

They did, obviously, and The Return of the King went on to win all eleven Oscars it was nominated for, a sweep that basically never happens. This trilogy also built WETA Workshop into a global force in visual effects and turned New Zealand into one of the biggest film production hubs in the world. Fantasy movies got taken seriously by the Academy because of what these three proved was possible.

Dwayne Johnson is excited to be named a Disney Legend, but his children might feel more strongly about the occasion than he does. In a new interview, the “Game Plan” actor reflected on receiving the honorary title from the famed network and movie studio and said his children loved that he now gets a special perk. The rare moment comes just weeks after Disney announced “Moana 3” had begun production.

Johnson received the honor on August 16 at the Disney Legends Awards ceremony. Among the inductees were Anne Hathaway, who has earned her fair share of Disney roles, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and the Jonas Brothers. At the ceremony, Disney said that the recipients are those who “for generations have defined Disney across entertainment, storytelling, and experiences.”

Johnson spoke with PEOPLE at the ceremony and said that his children were probably more excited about him being named a Disney Legend than he was. “They said, ‘Congratulations, Daddy, you’re a Disney legend. What does it mean?’” Johnson said. “And I sent them back a video, and I was like, ‘It means we get free tickets to Disney for life.’”

Dwayne Johnson Says Being A Disney Legend Is About Something ‘Bigger’

Being named a Disney Legend is no easy task, and Johnson said he’s spent the last few weeks taking in the “special” honor.

“I think Disney Legends is something much bigger … and I believe it’s powerful what Disney does. And what it means, in my opinion, to be a Disney legend is to treat people good and treat them with kindness and try your best to create experiences for them that are,” he said.

Dwayne Johnson Reflects On Taking His Daughter To See A Disney Movie Years Ago

Johnson’s acceptance speech went viral, and during the moving moment, the actor reflected on a special moment he had with his daughter at Disneyland when she was just five years old.

“I was in my 20s. I was trying to figure that stuff out at that time … how I was going to be a father, how I was going to be a husband, man, etc,” he said. “But I remember one of the princesses said, ‘Close your eyes and make a wish.’ And I’ll never forget, [Simone] closed her eyes and she made a wish.”

According to Johnson, he would never forget the special moment, calling it an “experience” that he believes his daughter holds near to her heart as well. “That’s the beauty of Disney. That’s the beauty also of being a Disney Legend,” he said.

Miley Cyrus Was Named A Disney Legend In 2024

In 2024, “Hannah Montana” star Miley Cyrus was also named a Disney Legend. At the D23 event, the singer reflected on the life-changing opportunity to portray Miley Stewart in the early-2000s sitcom.

“A little bit of everything has changed, but at the same time, nothing has changed at all,” she said. “I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana.”

As she continued, Cyrus said she was dedicating the award to the fictional pop star and to her fans for how they have both impacted her life.

“In so many ways, this award is dedicated to Hannah and all of her amazing loyal fans, and to everyone who has made my dream a reality. To quote the legend herself, ‘This is the life,’” she said.

Cyrus Will Always Love ‘Hannah Montana’

Happy 16th Hannah-versary! 16 years ago my life changed forever when HM premiered. Because of your loyalty and support I’ve had the honor to travel the world for over a decade and perform for fans that bring so much greatness into my life. pic.twitter.com/94yK3yopfr

— Miley Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) March 24, 2022

Cyrus has always shown her appreciation for “Hannah Montana.” According to The Blast, the singer appeared in the show’s 20th anniversary special earlier this year, singing new renditions of “This Is The Life,” “The Best of Both Worlds,” and “The Climb.”

In 2022, Cyrus celebrated the show’s 16th anniversary by posting a clip of her singing the “Hoedown Throwdown” on her X account. In the caption, she praised those who helped her get to where she is today. “Because of your loyalty and support, I’ve had the honor to travel the world for over a decade and perform for fans that bring so much greatness into my life,” she wrote.

Alaia Baldwin Aronow will not serve time behind bars after throwing a tampon at a bartender in 2024. The older sister of Hailey Bieber was accused of assaulting three staff members during a night out in Savannah, Georgia. The incident, which took place at Club Elan, and allegedly involved hair-pulling, a kick to the groin and a used tampon making contact with a bartender’s face happened in February of that year.

4

Aronow was charged with four misdemeanors nearly two years later, including simple battery, simple assault, battery and criminal trespass. However, the 33-year-old has now accepted an offer to enter a pre-trial diversion program instead of serving jail time, according to documents obtained by TMZ.

As per the report, Aronow will have to complete a series of classes, fines, and other requirements, in exchange for not having to spend time behind bars. The model’s lawyers, Drew Findling and Cris Schneider, had previously expressed confidence about the outcome of her case.

“We remain absolutely confident, there will be a positive resolution,” they told the DailyMail in January.

What Really Happened In February 2024?

4

The owner of Club Elan called 911 when chaos erupted, claiming Aronow had gotten into a physical altercation with staff members and refused to leave, as TMZ reported at the time. According to Employees, Aronow wandered into the staff-only restroom despite being told she was not allowed to use it. Instead, she was redirected to the public bathroom. One security guard claimed Aronow yanked hair out of his head when he attempted to wrangle her, and another guard alleged she kicked him in the groin when he tried doing the same.

Aronow allegedly went into the employee bathroom herself at one point, as per a bartender, who was trying to show discretion for her apparently. Aronow said she needed a minute to throw up and change her tampon. The staff recalled waiting for a while, but when she reentered to check on Aronow, the bartender claimed the model threw a tampon at her.

Alaia Baldwin Aronow Claimed She Was Defending Herself

4

The bartender, Haleigh Cauley, reportedly said that the “used” tampon made contact with her face. Then clarified that the tampon never left Aronow’s grip, but rather swung up and touched her face.

“I said, ‘Listen, you guys have got to go,’” Cauley recalled, and also noted that Aronow had a “scary” look in her eyes.

Security eventually stepped in as Aronow reportedly began “swinging” at the guards. The daughter of Stephen Baldwin told officers she was acting in self-defense and insisted the incident was being overblown.

Did Alaia Baldwin Aronow Deny Throwing The Tampon?

4

A police report obtained by E! revealed that Aronow initially denied throwing the tampon but later admitted she did throw it.

The model’s attorney told TMZ at the time: “On February 24, 2024, Ms. Aronow traveled to Savannah, GA to celebrate the upcoming marriage of a close friend. Sadly, what should have been a celebratory girls night out, unfortunately took an unexpected turn,” adding, “Ms. Aronow is embarrassed and saddened by the events of that night and is proactively taking the necessary steps to ensure that it never happens again.”

Dancing With the Stars alums Peta Murgatroyd and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are loving their new lives in the Sunshine State.

“We’ve always loved Florida [and] we’ve always loved the lifestyle here. We fell in love with Boca because it, kind of, has everything [and] the best of everything,” Murgatroyd, 40, said in a Friday, August 21, Instagram Story video, detailing her family’s decision to move out of Los Angeles. “[We’re] really close to Miami, we have the beach, like. 11 minutes from my house, really top-rated schools, amazing sports for the boys [and a] great lifestyle.”

Murgatroyd and Chmerkovskiy, 46, announced in June that they recently relocated to Florida with their three sons: Shai, 9, Rio, 3, and Milan, 2.

“I know it gets hot but we’re, kind of, in it right now. I thought I would have a bigger problem with it, everyone’s like, ‘You’re gonna come back to Cali,’” Murgatroyd quipped on Friday about the move. “Cali will always be a home of ours because we lived there for 20 years but, right now, I think this is what our fam needs and we are loving every second. It’s the best.”

Murgatroyd also praised the “really nice” community of welcoming neighbors.

Among their community, Murgatroyd’s in-laws also made the move to Florida.

“They did, which is amazing and awesome,” she gushed of Chmerkovskiy’s parents on Friday. “They just really love Boca too, we didn’t even realize they were going to do that. They have a really cute place, and they’re very happy by the beach.”

Jessie James Decker is on a mission to get out with the old and bring it in with the new!

The reality star shared a big decision she just made regarding her health and well-being with her Instagram family, noting that the epiphany came with the birth of her youngest.

Jessie James Decker has been candid about her struggle with her breast implants and how they become big and uncomfortable during her pregnancies for years now, hence the certainty in tone behind this latest decision.

4

The mother-of-four switched the tempo in her Instagram clip with a clip of her performing some acrobatics on a fitness ball. Decker looked every inch a pro as she flaunted her toned muscles in a two-piece gym outfit.

Explaining where she is currently at mentally in the caption, Decker revealed that she is excited and nervous to finally “take out my VERY large breast implants” after months of deliberation and second-guessing.

While she would have loved to take everything out altogether, Decker confessed that she is not completely ready for that, and she is not sure about what would be underneath the large implants she has had for so long. 

“I’ve been on such a fitness journey with y’all and my @jjdfitclub getting stronger and more confident than ever. I’m not stopping, and I don’t want anything holding me back,” Decker stated.

She added that her “strong girl Era” has really helped her feel more connected to her body and find out what works well for her, and for now, big implants are not that.

The Former E! Star Wants To Leave An Important Lesson For Her Daughter About Beauty Standards

Decker went deeper into another reason why she had taken the bull by the horns, and it was no other than the birth of her daughter, Denver, who really taught her a vital lesson. She explained:

“Having Denver really kick-started this whole ‘less is more’ chapter for me. I want less maintenance in my life, and I’m embracing my natural girl era!”

Decker added that she wanted less maintenance in her life, as she is embracing her natural girl era, and that could be because she is getting closer to 40. The singer emphasized that she has reached a point in her life where she feels the most like herself. 

She confessed that having a daughter also shifted some things into perspective for her about cosmetic procedures and beauty standards. Ultimately, Decker confessed that she would never want her daughter to think she has to go through beauty surgeries and upkeep to look beautiful.

Decker added that she would be glad to share her journey with the world as she knows many people are in the same position as her, looking for the right sign to take that big step finally.

The media personality’s latest decision comes over five years after she informed her social media fans that she had bigger implants in her bosoms. Flaunting her curves and new pair in a mint green two-piece, Decker explained on Instagram that she decided to gift herself a larger size of boobs following the birth of their last child.

She revealed that she went in for a breast reduction and a lift a couple of years back because she did not like her size and the effect of the elastic skin, which made them hang down to her belly button. Decker noted that her bo*bs were so big and perky before she had kids, and she would love to have them back plus some more.

Following the successful surgery, Decker affirmed that she feels satisfied with the new pair and like a brand new woman, especially after seeing how well her new breasts finally filled out the tops of her new swimsuit in the picture.

In 2023, Decker opened up about some of her struggles with her breast implants on a Q&A session on her Instagram, revealing that she carried some concerns about breastfeeding for the fourth time with implants in.

While she has successfully nursed her other babies even with the implants in, Decker noted that if she knew she would become pregnant again after baby number 3, she would have opted for smaller implants.

As noted by PEOPLE, Decker explained that pregnancy causes her breasts to grow larger and at that point, she would gladly jump at an offer to downsize.

Decker shared her intention to consider a reduction someday in the future during the session, which came a week after she announced that she was expecting her fourth child with beau Eric Decker.

The reality star and her former NFL player husband tied the knot in 2013 and welcomed three children in 2014, 2015, and 2018, respectively, expanding their family with a fourth in 2024.

After welcoming Denver, The Blast shared in June that Decker opened up about her fitness journey, documenting each step in an Instagram video.

The compilation featured Jessie exercising both during and after pregnancy, including difficult moments when she appeared exhausted but continued pushing through her workouts.

In the caption, Jessie admitted she was initially nervous about sharing such a personal glimpse into her experience. She explained that staying fit once came naturally to her without restrictive dieting, but pregnancy significantly changed her body and approach to fitness.

The mother of four had come to realize that she had added over 50 pounds in almost every pregnancy and that the weight did not just go away after birth. Instead, she realized she had to work consistently to reach her fitness goals again. 

Jessie also remembered the difficulty she had with her changing body, such as seeing herself in the mirror sometimes and not feeling comfortable in her clothes.  At times she felt demoralized and defeated when things did not move quickly enough, but she remained dedicated to the progression. 

Wishing Jessie James Decker a smooth journey as she finds her happy place!

Aside from Apple TV’s The Lost Bus, which earned a nomination at the 98th Academy Awards for Best Visual Effects, it feels like it’s been a while since we’ve seen a headline performance from Matthew McConaughey, with the Academy Award winner taking a break from the acting spotlight following 2019’s The Gentlemen, directed by Guy Ritchie. Now, we have not one but two McConaughey performances to look forward to in the coming weeks, starting this weekend with the long-awaited arrival of neo-Western The Rivals of Amziah King.

Incredibly, it has been 17 months since The Rivals of Amziah King first debuted to an expectant audience at SXSW, with critics offering unanimous praise and the film winning an 89% rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, at the time of writing. Also starring the likes of Kurt Russell, Tony Revolori, Owen Teague, Rob Morgan, Cole Sprouse, Catherine Dyer, and more, The Rivals of Amziah King is likely to prove a hidden gem in theaters this weekend, with McConaughey fans seemingly getting in the mood by catching one of his career-defining roles from 2014.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, the sweeping, emotionally poignant sci-fi epic Interstellar is currently one of the most-watched movies on HBO Max in the likes of Switzerland and Germany, as well as ranking among the most-watched movies on Amazon in the UK. McConaughey stars in the film opposite Anne Hathaway, who recently debuted her newest creature feature, The End of Oak Street, in theaters. Interstellar is widely regarded as one of the sci-fi genre’s defining titles of the past 25 years, and it earned almost $650 million in an impressive global box office run.

Christopher Nolan and Anne Hathaway Teamed Up for One of the Best Movies of the Year

12 years after producing sci-fi magic with McConaughey, Nolan and Hathaway took a trip back in time to the 12th century BCE to deliver the latest adaptation of Homer‘s ancient Greek epic poem, The Odyssey. Having already become Nolan’s highest-grossing movie ever, almost doubling the global haul of Interstellar, The Odyssey has also earned huge acclaim from critics, being called an “unrivaled cinematic spectacle” in Joe Schmidt‘s official review for Collider. Matt Damon, who leads The Odyssey, also appeared in Interstellar as NASA astronaut Dr. Mann.
