Movie Mix January 31: Take a Break from the Work Routine

“Instant Family” is a comedy-drama about two parents who decided to foster three children. What began as an exciting adventure slowly turns into an in-over-your-head reality. The film stars Mark Wahlberg, Rose Byrne, Isabela Moner, Gustao Quiroz, Julianna Gamiz, Octavia Spencer and more.

Jennifer Lopez is Maya Vargas, a street smart 40-year-old store worker who pursues a corporate career and fulfill her ambitions in rom-com film “Second Act.” When her friend creates a resume with fake credentials, Maya is hired by a private firm and made to handle a big business deal. Vanessa Hudgens, Leah Remini, Treat Williams, Milo Ventimiglia, and Annaleigh Ashford also star alongside Lopez.

“Then Came You” is an honest tale about a hypochondriac who works in the airport as a baggage handler. When he encounters a British teenager with terminal illness, he is left with no choice but to face his fears, especially when this teenager asks him to tag along in her bizarre to-do list in life. The film stars Nina Dobrev, Asa Butterfield, and Maisie Williams.

“Solis” is a film that tells of one mission: surviving an escape vehicle inching closer and closer to the sun. When a mining operation went wrong in space, the life of a man named Troy Holloway (Steven Ogg) is in grave danger.

Pinoy comedy film “Tol” stars Jessy Mendiola, Arjo Atayde, Joross Gamboa, and Ketchup Eusebio. Its audiences will surely have a blast with the trio’s antics on winning the girl of their dreams. The only problem is, these three blokes have all fallen for the same girl. What becomes of their friendship now?

Although the film has been receiving various comments and criticism from netizens, “Bato,” the Gen. Ronald dela Rosa Story is out in theaters this week. Robin Padilla plays Gen. Bato in the biopic which is directed by Director Lore Reyes.
