Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and there’s a ton of films available on streaming to get you in a romantic mood. Whether it’s a comedy, a blood-soaked horror slasher, or an emotional drama, there’s something for every kind of person to enjoy leading into this heart-filled holiday. However, if you like your love stories a bit more on the tragic side, Max has you covered in its upcoming February lineup. Their diverse catalog of films will include the 2018 version of A Star is Born.
Bradley Cooper‘s directorial debut will be singing its way to Max in February and take part in the streamer’s curated list of films simply titled “Valentine’s Day”. A Star is Born will be alongside other modern classics like Mama Mia, The Notebook and Crazy Rich Asians. Despite being the third remake of the 1937 film, when it was released in 2018, A Star is Born was a massive box office and critical hit. It made over $436 million worldwide on a $36 million budget, while it has a certified-fresh rating of 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. Its audience score is also glowing at 80%. This led A Star is Born to be nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture. It only won one Oscar for Best Original Song, but “Shallows” is one of the best pieces of music to come along in that category in a very long time.
What’s ‘A Star is Born’ About?
This reimagining of A Star is Born follows mega superstar singer Jackson Maine (Cooper) after he crosses paths with a struggling artist named Ally (Lady Gaga). Quickly falling in love with her, Jackson gives her the opportunity of a lifetime, letting Ally pursue her dreams as a singer and being a star of her own. However, as Ally’s career skyrockets, Jackson takes a nosedive due to some unresolved personal demons. Their relationship has reached an impasse that they may never recover from.
There was a lot stacked against this film. It was the fourth time this story was told in the last century. This was all the while Cooper was an unproven director and Gaga’s acting credits were mainly smaller roles on television up to that point. However, in every phase, A Star is Born proved all those doubts wrong. This is a visually raw and emotional remake that puts Cooper and Gaga’s masterful chemistry on full display. From their irresistible voices to the amazing music to the dark undertones of the story, this remains a relevant romantic tragedy almost a decade later.
The film also joins Gaga’s other hard-R musical blockbuster, Joker: Folie á Deux, on Max. The latter of which she plays the villainous Harley Quinn. Tune in to watch A Star is Born when it debuts on Max.
The 2018 romantic drama “A Star is Born,” starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, has been making waves on streaming platforms with its powerful performances and emotional storyline. The film, which won an Oscar for Best Original Song for “Shallow,” has captured the hearts of audiences around the world with its raw portrayal of love, addiction, and the price of fame.
Gaga’s stunning vocals and Cooper’s impressive directorial debut have been praised by critics and fans alike, solidifying their status as two of Hollywood’s most talented performers. The chemistry between the two leads is palpable, drawing viewers in and keeping them on the edge of their seats until the very end.
With a 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and countless awards and nominations under its belt, “A Star is Born” is a must-watch for anyone looking for a captivating and emotional film experience. Whether you’re a fan of Gaga, Cooper, or just great storytelling, this film is sure to strike a chord and leave a lasting impression.

Alexander Zverev was left in a spot of bother when he realised the racquets he’d sent to be re-strung were not with him on court.
During the first set of his Australian Open final against world No.1 Jannik Sinner, Zverev, who was trailing 4-3, was preparing to serve when he became frustrated.
He exchanged some words with his father and coaching box, asking where exactly those newly strung racquets were.
“Zverev spent the changeover wondering where the racquets he’d given to the stringer an hour ago were,” Jim Courier said on Nine.

“They should’ve been on court.
“Now, there’s a little bit of confusion with him and his dad as to where those racquets are.”
Courier explained why Zverev would have been feeling so thrown off by the ordinary service.
“He’s just sent some racquets away to be re-strung. Remember, these players typically change racquets when the new balls are brought in, so the strings are fresh.

“The strings do lose a little tension through the course of playing, so they’re trying to get control of some balls that are quite lively here when they’re brand new.”
Zverev did not win another game in the first set after the racquet confusion, going down 6-3 to the defending Australian Open champion.
Alexander Zverev left angry over racquet drama in Jannik Sinner clash
In a fiery showdown between two of the top tennis players, Alexander Zverev and Jannik Sinner, tensions reached a boiling point over a racquet drama that left Zverev fuming.
During a crucial point in the match, Sinner accidentally hit Zverev’s racquet with his own, causing it to break. Zverev immediately protested, claiming that Sinner had intentionally damaged his racquet in order to gain an advantage.
Despite the umpire’s attempts to diffuse the situation, Zverev was visibly angry and could be heard shouting at Sinner. The German player ultimately lost the match, but it was clear that the racquet incident had left a bitter taste in his mouth.
Zverev’s frustration over the racquet drama highlights the intense rivalry between these two players and sets the stage for future clashes on the court. Fans can only speculate on what will happen next in this heated rivalry.

British film star Ralph Fiennes has said he is “thrilled” to receive a best actor Oscar nomination for his role in pope drama Conclave.
This year’s announcement saw Spanish-language musical Emilia Perez lead the way with 13 nominations while director Edward Berger’s film, about cardinals voting to elect the next pope, secured eight nods.
“I’m thrilled to be nominated and to be celebrating the other nominations for Conclave,” Fiennes said.
“Edward Berger brought an extraordinary cast and crew together – he is an inspirational director with rare insight and a unique vision which lies at the heart of this film.”
Also nominated is his co-star, Italian actress Isabella Rossellini, who reflected on how filmmaker David Lynch, who died earlier in the month, made an impact on her understanding of acting.
“When I was young, I was always identified as the daughter of Ingrid Bergman and Roberto Rossellini.
“As I’ve gotten older, this doesn’t happen as frequently; and, I miss it especially today.
“I wish my parents were alive to celebrate with me this great honour.
“And, also, today, with this joy, my mind can’t help lingering in the beyond to David Lynch.
“Our collaboration was key to my understanding of the art of acting. It is my past, all that I have in me, that I brought to my interpretation of Sister Agnes in the film Conclave, working under the clear, sharp direction of Edward Berger his incredible cast and crew, especially the incomparable Ralph Fiennes.
“Thank you to the Academy. I am very honoured.”
Screenwriter Peter Straughan added that it was an “enormous honour” and said his thoughts were “with the people of LA at this terrible time”, amid the wildfires.
Fiennes, known for playing Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter film series, will face off against Adrien Brody for immigrant tale The Brutalist, Timothee Chalamet for Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown and Colman Domingo for Sing Sing, about prisoners becoming part of a theatre group, at the Oscars ceremony in March.
Sebastian Stan is also up for the category for playing Donald Trump before he became the US president in The Apprentice.
Also leading the nominations are Wicked, based on the West End and Broadway musical of the same name, and The Brutalist on 10 nods, while A Complete Unknown is named in eight award categories.
They have all been nominated for the best picture, and acting categories, while The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown and Emilia Perez secured directing nods.
The nominations for the 97th Oscars were announced on Thursday at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Los Angeles, after being postponed twice amid the wildfires in the region.
Fiennes was last nominated in 1997 for his leading role as a Hungarian pilot and desert explorer in The English Patient, which came after his first nod in 1994 for war drama Schindler’s List, in which he played an Austrian Nazi official.
Up for a best actress Oscar is Erivo, who secured her second acting Oscar nod for musical The Wizard Of Oz prequel Wicked, along with new nominations for Mikey Madison for playing a stripper who falls for a Russian oligarch’s son in Anora, and Hollywood actress Demi Moore for body horror The Substance.
Spanish star Karla Sofia Gascon, who became the first transgender actress to be nominated, is also in the category for Emilia Perez alongside Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres for Portuguese-language film I’m Still Here, about a mother coping with the disappearance of her husband in 1970s authoritarian Brazil.
Torres, whose mother Fernanda Montenegro was nominated more than two decades ago for best actress for road trip movie Central Station, said: “To stand here today, representing Brazil in a lineage that began with my mother’s trailblazing journey, is both surreal and deeply moving.”
She also said portraying Brazilian lawyer Eunice Paiva “was an immense privilege, as it allowed me to embody a woman whose life was defined by extraordinary resilience and a quiet, unwavering strength”.
In the supporting actor categories, The Brutalist’s Felicity Jones has landed her second Oscar nomination as former Succession stars Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin secured their first Academy Awards nods.
Jones will compete against Emilia Perez star Zoe Saldana, for her role in the Netflix thriller about a Mexican drug lord who changes gender, and Italian-born US star Isabella Rossellini for playing a nun in papal election drama Conclave.
Also nominated in the category is US pop singer Ariana Grande for playing Glinda the good witch, an early friend to Erivo’s green-skinned character in Wicked, and Monica Barbaro for A Complete Unknown.
Grande wrote on Instagram that she “cannot stop crying” after the “unfathomable recognition”.
In the supporting actor category, Culkin, for playing a cousin to Jesse Eisenberg’s character who goes on a trip to retrace his Jewish grandmother’s past escaping the Holocaust in Poland in A Real Pain, and Strong, who portrayed former Trump mentor Roy Cohn in The Apprentice, are going head-to-head.
They were nominated alongside Russian actor Yura Borisov for Anora, and Edward Norton for A Complete Unknown and Australian star Guy Pearce for The Brutalist.
Meanwhile, Sir Elton John has secured his fifth original song nod after the release of his music documentary song Never Too Late for the Disney+ film Elton John: Never Too Late, about his Farewell Yellow Brick Road concert tour.
The British singer-songwriter was nominated for The Lion King, winning for Can You Feel The Love Tonight, and also snapping up the gong for a second time with Sir Elton biopic Rocketman’s (I’m Gonna) Love Me Again.
He will face competition from Emilia Perez, who has two songs El Mal, and Mi Camino up for original song, along with Sing Sing’s Like A Bird, and The Six Triple Eight’s The Journey.
Sir Elton hailed his latest Oscar nod as an “incredible honour” on Instagram, along with paying tribute to his collaborators Brandi Carlile, Bernie Taupin and Andrew Watt, and “to everyone who helped bring this beautiful song to the world”.
The best picture category is a crowded field with Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Emilia Perez, I’m Still Here, The Substance, and Wicked all nominated.
Also up for the prize is Chalamet-starring science fiction blockbuster Dune: Part Two, and Nickel Boys, based on the Colson Whitehead book of the same name about children sent to an abusive reform school in the 1960s.
James Mangold, who previously secured an adapted screenplay nod for co-writing Logan and a best picture nomination for producing Ford V Ferrari, has earned his first directing nod for A Complete Unknown.
The category also includes first time nominees Sean Baker for Anora, Brady Corbet for The Brutalist, Jacques Audiard for Emilia Perez and Coralie Fargeat for The Substance.
Eric Fellner, co-chairman of Working Title films and co-producer on Fargeat’s film, said: “We were blessed with two amazing actresses who gave their all, Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley, and an incredibly talented French crew that made it all happen.
“We are all so grateful to the academy for these nominations”, he added.
For animated feature film, Wallace And Gromit are once again nominated for an Oscar gong after the release of the BBC Christmas hit Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl – which sees the return of evil penguin Feathers McGraw from Academy Award-winning short The Wrong Trousers.
They will compete against Latvian cat film Flow, Inside Out 2, the second film from Disney that dramatises emotions in the brain, Memoir Of A Snail, starring Succession star Sarah Snook, and The Wild Robot.
Those who had been in the running for awards, but missed out on nominations include Oscar winner Nicole Kidman for erotic thriller Babygirl, and James Bond star Daniel Craig for Mexico-set Queer, about an older man pursuing the love of a young man.
The Academy Awards ceremony will take place on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with first-time host Conan O’Brien taking the helm this year.
British TV presenter Jonathan Ross will return as host of ITV’s Oscars companion show this March for the second year running, accompanied by celebrity guests and film experts to discuss nominated films on the night.
Ralph Fiennes has once again proven his acting prowess with his latest film, Conclave, as he has been nominated for an Oscar for his outstanding performance. The talented actor expressed his excitement and gratitude for the nomination, stating that he is “thrilled” to be recognized for his work in the pope drama.
Fiennes plays the role of a cardinal in the film, which follows the intense and secretive process of electing a new pope in the Vatican. His portrayal of the character has been hailed as powerful and gripping, showcasing his ability to immerse himself in complex and challenging roles.
Having already received critical acclaim for his work in films such as Schindler’s List and The English Patient, Fiennes’ Oscars nomination for Conclave further solidifies his status as one of the most talented actors in the industry.
Fans and critics alike are eagerly anticipating the Oscars ceremony to see if Fiennes will take home the prestigious award. In the meantime, the actor is basking in the joy of being recognized for his exceptional performance in Conclave.
Balancing the NBA and a massive family is no easy feat, but it’s nothing new for Stephen Curry. The NBA community has witnessed him manage both sides with ease. However, a shocking development has emerged, as there seems to be friction with a relative—something that will require him to leave his $62 million contract with the Warriors to fix.
Isn’t it hard to believe? Well, it came from former player Austin Rivers who revealed about a vacation during an interview with Overtime. “We had a huge family trip in Fiji. It was all the Currys and all the Rivers. I didn’t go,” Rivers said. Wondering why? “We had just lost to the Warriors,” he disclosed.
It was only natural for Rivers to react that way as Curry had just defeated him on the hardwood. Moreover, he believes Steph would have done the same. “If the roles were reversed, it would have been the same thing. I promise you, if we would have beat them and I was playing the way he was playing, and I did a family trip for all of us, Steph would be like, I got some business things. You know, no way it would have came.” The video reached Curry, who in return jokingly commented on Overtime’s Instagram post, “Guess we gotta wait till I hang the jersey up for the real Sibs & Sigs trip.”

Rivers was in his first season with the Nuggets. They had worked their way up to the 2022 Playoffs, only to realize that the Warriors were too formidable a team to overcome. The Dubs hammered the Denver side with a 4-1 series defeat. And Curry? He was averaging 28 points in that series. Ultimately, the team lifted the championship trophy too.
While Rivers’ side of the family wondered why he wasn’t going when everyone else was, only he could feel the rage inside him back then. “Trust me, my family, my cousins are like, ‘Why don’t you just all go? The whole family’s going.’ I was like, ‘I can’t as a man. Had this man, he paid for the whole thing,’” Rivers explained. Since Curry took care of everything- the flights, the island and more, he preferred not to go. “This dude just had like 40 on my head top. There’s no way I was getting on a flight,” the former added.
So, the 4-time champion feels that the only way he and Rivers could go on a trip together is if he leaves the Warriors, which is a clear pun. Curry and Rivers are incredibly passionate about their professions. Even when it comes to family, don’t hold back. That’s why Rivers’ reaction was so intense. In case you’re wondering how Rivers and Curry are connected, here’s a quick peek for you.

A glimpse into Stephen Curry and Austin Rivers’ relationship
Stephen Curry and Austin Rivers might not be blood relatives, but their connection runs deep. Steph’s younger brother, Seth Curry is married to the former NBA star’s sister and Doc Rivers’ daughter, Callie. And their shared profession strengthens their bond further, even though they’ve never played on the same team.
Despite the times when Curry handed Rivers tough defeats on the court, there’s no bad blood between them. Curry’s string of laughing emojis on the post and Rivers’ numerous praises of the 3-point shooter on his Off Guard podcast, are proof of their strong relationship. It’s these bittersweet moments that make their bond so dynamic.

In a shocking turn of events, it has been revealed that NBA superstar Stephen Curry made a $62 million sacrifice in order to mend his relationship with a close relative. As details on the family drama continue to emerge, fans are left wondering what could have led to such a drastic decision.
Curry, known for his incredible skills on the basketball court, has always been a family man at heart. However, it seems that there was a rift between him and a relative that needed to be addressed. Reports indicate that Curry offered to give up a significant amount of money in order to reconcile with this family member, showing just how important their relationship is to him.
While the specific details of the family drama have not been fully disclosed, it is clear that Curry was willing to make a significant sacrifice in order to mend things. This move has garnered praise from fans and supporters, who admire Curry for his commitment to his family and his willingness to do whatever it takes to make things right.
As more information comes to light, it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds and how it will impact Curry’s personal life and career. One thing is for certain – Curry’s $62 million sacrifice has shown that family comes first, no matter the cost.
The Minnesota Twins‘ catching situation for 2025 is largely shaped by the combination of Ryan Jeffers and Christian Vázquez, who nearly split innings equally in the 2024 season. Jeffers excelled offensively while Vázquez showcased stronger defensive skills. The Twins’ catchers ranked eighth in the American League with a combined 2.3 WAR, producing a solid, if unremarkable, year together. While the duo appears set to return in 2025, trade rumors and the potential for injury could lead to changes. The status of minor leaguers like Diego Cartaya and Jair Camargo adds further complexity to the outlook.
By the Numbers
Ryan Jeffers and Christian Vázquez each made 81 starts in 2024.
Twin catchers ranked 8th out of 15 in the AL with a combined 2.3 WAR.
State of Play
Jeffers and Vázquez are expected to return for 2025, with Camargo as an option.
Trade rumors swirl around Vázquez, who will earn $10 million next year.
Cartaya, a former top prospect, could impact the catching landscape if his performance improves.
What’s Next
The Twins may consider trading Vázquez to manage payroll and address other needs, such as first base. Observing Cartaya’s development will be pivotal, as a resurgence in his play could alter the team’s approach. Preseason discussions will likely revolve around strategy and potential shifts in the catching roster.
Bottom Line
While the Twins’ catching duo seems secure, roster fluidity, potential trade considerations, and player development may lead to significant changes. Staying vigilant about upcoming evaluations will be key in determining the future of the catching position.
The Minnesota Twins have a bright future at the catching position, but will they keep their talented duo together or opt for a blockbuster trade in 2025?
Currently, the Twins boast a dynamic catching duo in Mitch Garver and Ryan Jeffers. Garver, a former All-Star, provides power and on-base skills, while Jeffers has shown promise as a young, defensive-minded backstop with a potent bat.
With both players under team control for the foreseeable future, the Twins have a stable foundation at catcher. However, with the team’s window of contention potentially closing in the coming years, some believe that the Twins could explore trading one of their catchers for a big return.
Should the Twins decide to go this route, it could lead to a dramatic shakeup in their roster. While a blockbuster trade could bring in much-needed talent to bolster the team’s chances of winning a championship, it could also leave a void behind the plate that would be difficult to fill.
Ultimately, the Twins will need to weigh the potential benefits of trading one of their catchers against the stability and production that Garver and Jeffers provide. Whatever decision they make, it’s clear that the Twins’ catching future is one to watch in the coming years. Will they remain stable with stars, or will they opt for trade drama in 2025? Only time will tell.

It adds a whole new layer of excitement and intrigue to the show.”

Steve Kerr rarely still ponders the controversy that linked the Golden State Warriors head coach to Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum this past summer.
Kerr’s decision to bench Tatum twice amid USA Basketball’s six-game run to a gold medal finish in the 2024 Paris Olympics garnered global attention. Tatum was fresh off a championship in Boston, a record-large $315 million payday from the Celtics and a third straight All-NBA First Team selection. Still, that wasn’t enough.
When asked the day after Tatum led a 40-point demolition of Kerr’s Warriors on Martin Luther King Day, the 59-year-old shared a chit-chat between the two.
“We texted after the game in Boston a couple of months ago and we talked last night after the game,” Kerr told 95.7 The Game’s “Willard & Dibs” show. “I will tell you that Jayson was an absolute dream to coach. During all that stuff, that so-called controversy, you might notice there wasn’t a single quote from Jayson. It was everybody else talking about it. Jayson’s an amazing guy and an incredible player and he couldn’t have handled it any better when he was there. The reality is 2024 these guys are all in the spotlight. There’s so much pressure on them and that whole thing was overblown.”
USA Basketball underutilized Tatum, playing the five-time All-Star for 17.7 minutes across four appearances — less than Boston teammates Derrick White and Jrue Holiday, who both logged five appearances. Tatum averaged 5.3 points and 5.3 rebounds and even prompted an unscheduled check-up visit from Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla.

At the time, Kerr didn’t provide any elaborate explanation as to why Tatum was on such a short leash, especially when Team USA barely defeated opponents like South Sudan and Serbia.
Tatum, meanwhile, took the humbling experience on the chin and quickly redirected his focus on the Celtics and their first shot at a repeat in over a decade. The 26-year-old dropped a 37-point double-double on the New York Knicks during Boston’s Opening Night victory, moments after Tatum received his ring and Banner 18 was raised.
Although, beating the brakes off Golden State alongside co-star Jaylen Brown, who was denied an invite from Team USA entirely, was a great avenue for revenge too. The Tatum-Brown tandem clocked out at the end of the third quarter and let Boston’s bench finish the job as Kerr watched his team fall to 21-21 with the 125-85 defeat.
Tatum and Brown might’ve had Kerr’s face at the center of their dartboard, but Kerr has moved on from the storyline and is focused on the Warriors.

“I don’t even think about it more, to be honest with you,” Kerr added.
Feelings of resentment from Tatum and Brown toward Kerr were on display as soon as the final buzzer sounded and Boston became the third team in the NBA to eclipse 30 regular-season victories this season. While Tatum shared a postgame discussion with Warriors star Stephen Curry, as Brown stood nearby, Kerr approached the crew and received an awkward stare of rejection.
Boston and Golden State split the regular-season series, 1-1, however the C’s sit as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference while the Warriors dropped to 11th in the West, still in search of answers as the season progresses.
In a recent interview, Steve Kerr shared details about a conversation he had with Jayson Tatum regarding the drama surrounding the Tokyo Olympics. Kerr, who is an assistant coach for Team USA, revealed that he had a heart-to-heart discussion with Tatum about his decision to withdraw from the Olympic team due to health and safety concerns.
During the conversation, Kerr expressed his support for Tatum’s decision and emphasized the importance of prioritizing one’s well-being above all else. He also reassured Tatum that there would be no hard feelings or judgment from the team for his choice to opt out of the Olympics.
Kerr went on to explain that Tatum’s decision was understandable given the current circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges that athletes are facing in preparing for the Games. He commended Tatum for being thoughtful and responsible in his decision-making process and praised his maturity and professionalism throughout the situation.
Overall, Kerr’s conversation with Tatum highlighted the importance of open communication and understanding within the team, and served as a reminder of the human side of sports in the midst of a global crisis. The two men parted ways with a mutual respect and appreciation for each other, setting a positive example for how to handle difficult situations with grace and empathy.
