Movie Mix January 10: Screen Therapy at its Friendliest
The Bellas are back with Pitch Perfect 3! For the third and last time, the Pitches will leave everyone all so melodiously smiley with actors Anna Kendrick, Anna Camp, Rebel Wilson, Brittany Snow, Hailee Steinfeld, Hana Mae Lee, Ester Dean, Elizabeth Banks, and the rest of the famed posse. The plot revolves around the Pitches reuniting after their college graduation for one last curtain call at the overseas United Services Organization tour. It will surely be one grand finale.
Liam Neeson gets caught up in a mystery murder in “The Commuter.” When a woman suddenly approaches and talks to a man in his run-in-a-mill commute, the gray areas on murder and disappearances begin to happen. Aside from Neeson, the action thriller stars Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Jonathan Banks, Elizabeth McGovern, and Sam Neill.
Dwayne Johnson, Jack Black, Kevin Hart, Nick Jonas, Karen Gillan and Bobby Cannavale reprise the 1995 Jumanji franchise. The film, “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” based on the children’s book written by Chris Van Allsburg is actually a tribute to Robin Williams who is the original star of the film. This time around, the adventure begins when the Jumanji board game that was found by the beach surprisingly transforms into a video game cartridge.
John Cena and Kate McKinnon star in the 3-D animated comedy adventure film, “Ferdinand.” Ferdinand is a bull calf who is being trained for bullfighting in a farm called “Casa del Toro.” He loves smelling flowers and finds it important to protect them. Because of this, other bulls in the farm ridicule him. The movie is based on the children’s book, “The Story of Ferdinand,” written by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson.
Pinoy box office hits are still showing this week. With such wide reception from Pinoy movie lovers everywhere, the films “Ang Larawan,” “Siargao,” “All of You,” “Gandarrappido: The Revenger Squad” and “Meant to Beh” are still out this week. Knowing this would guarantee that you won’t miss a thing when it comes to Filipino talk-of-the-town films.
