Justin Kemp (Nicholas Hoult) has been named to a jury that will decide whether James Michael Sythe (Gabriel Basso) murdered his girlfriend, Kendall Carter (Francesca Eastwood). The problem is that Kemp was there the night of the incident, and he may have been the one who accidentally killed Carter.Kemp cant let an innocent man go to prison, but he also doesnt want to be imprisoned himself. That gives him the incentive to try to convince the rest of the jury to vote not guilty, even though theres pushback and at least one member of the panel who is willing to perform his own investigation. Kemps future is relying on his ability to get his desired outcome, but it may not be possible to save both Sythe and himself.Watch Juror #2 on Max.Parisa Taghizadeh / Warner Bros.

Joseph Coop Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) is tasked with the most important mission of his life: venturing out into space to find a new home for Earths survivors.If you want an example of Nolans eye for talent, Mackenzie Foy and Timothe Chalamet were cast as Coops children, Murph and Tom, before he has to leave them behind. As relative time bends for Coop and Amelia Brand (Anne Hathaway) in space, an older Murph (Jessica Chastain) has to come up with a way to get all of humanity off of their dying world or else the mission will have been for nothing.Watch Interstellar on Paramount+.Summit EntertainmentIf were watching one Christopher Nolan movie on New Years Eve, then why not watch two? Memento is the film that put Nolan on the map with its twisty narrative and nonlinear storytelling. The Brutalists Guy Pearce stars as Leonard Shelby, a man who is stuck in his own personal tale of revenge. Leonard has anterograde amnesia, which essentially resets his short-term memory every few minutes. All Leonard knows is that hes looking for the man who murdered his wife and gave him the wound that led to his memory loss.Once people learn about Leonards condition, theyre all too willing to mock him or use him for their own ends. Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Teddy Gammell (Joe Pantoliano) are both guilty of those crimes. But just because Leonards mind is fractured doesnt mean he cant get payback.Watch Memento on Prime Video.Warner Bros.Last year at this time, Wonka was the musical that cleaned up at the box office, much like Wicked is doing now.

Rather than miss the opportunity of a lifetime, William takes his late mentors armor and wins a tournament in his name.Chaucer (Paul Bettany) becomes Williams hype man and helps him enter tournaments restricted to those of noble birth. William quickly proves that he belongs, and he even woos Lady Jocelyn (Shannyn Sossamon). He also makes an an enemy out of Count Adhemar of Anjou (Rufus Sewell), who wants Jocelyn for himself.Watch A Knights Tale on YouTube.Sony Pictures ClassicsMidnight in Paris is leaving Prime Video when 2025 begins, but its another good choice for New Years Eve because it brings together nostalgia for the past with hope for the future. Owen Wilson plays Gil Pender, a struggling writer on vacation in Paris with his fiance, Inez (Rachel McAdams), although their relationship is increasingly strained.Inexplicably, Gil finds a way to travel back and forth from the present to 1920, where he gets to hang around with literary heavyweights like F. Scott Fitzgerald (Tom Hiddleston) and Ernest Hemingway (Corey Stoll). Gil is also quite taken with Adriana (Marion Cotillard), Picassos mistress.

On New Years Eve at a high-end hotel, Ted is called upon for some unusual requests. The best of the four segments is directed by Quentin Tarantino, who co-stars as Chester Rush, a man who entices Ted to take part in a very violent bet with his friend, Norman (Paul Caldern).Robert Rodriguezs segment finds Ted roped into taking care of the unruly children of a husband (Antonio Banderas) and wife (Tamlyn Tomita), while Alexandre Rockwells story puts him in the middle of a strange fantasy situation between Siegfried (David Proval) and his wife, Angela (Jennifer Beals). The first segment with the witches was helmed by Allison Anders, and its probably best just to skip past that one.Watch Four Rooms on Hoopla.Editors Recommendations
