The Weight (2026) is a Great Depression-era drama that follows down-on-his-luck widower and World War I veteran Samuel Murphy (Ethan Hawke) as he tries to secure an early release from prison and reunite with his daughter, Penny (Avy Berry). After facing eviction while at church, Murphy checks out a listing for a new apartment only to face accusations of trespassing from three men, a situation that soon escalates into violence once Murphy throws punches at the men he believes are threatening his daughter. After revealing themselves as cops, the men send Murphy to a prison labor camp while his daughter is placed in a foster home, where she will be put up for adoption if he is not released in a month. Recognizing Murphy’s ingenuity after discovering his dilemma, Warden Clancy (Russel Crowe) offers him a chance at early release. To secure his freedom, Murphy must complete a dangerous mission to smuggle gold out of a mine before it can be seized by the federal government under President Roosevelt’s Executive Order 6102. Clancy lets Murphy choose three fellow convicts to join him, and together they embark on a harrowing journey. Along the way, they encounter betrayal and an unexpected ally in Anna (Julia Jones), a Native American woman who fled a federal boarding school that tried to forcibly assimilate her.

At the end of a concert, exhilarated and hoping for more, fans often shout out “Encore! Encore!” to draw the artist back to the stage for additional songs. The chant is a sign of approval, of the audience wanting more. On Sept. 25, Taylor Swift, under the impression that we needed more of her music, released The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore. Instead of the triumphant final performance to cap off a wonderful show, The Encore attempts to trap listeners in an exhausting repetition of bland lyrics and even blander melodies.

What do Las Vegas, Nevada and Memphis, Tennessee, have in common? Elvis impersonators! Lots of them. Grown men and women — donning rhinestone-studded polyester jumpsuits, jet-black wigs sculpted into pompadours and oversized gold-rimmed aviators that overwhelm their faces — fill the streets, casinos and, in the case of Memphis, barbeque joints.
