New Movies This Week: Street Fighter, 2 Valid IDs, Pee Mak, Whalefall, and More!

Wednesday means new movies, and giving moviegoers plenty of reasons to head back to the cinema. Street Fighter steps into the ring with Ryu, Ken, and Chun-Li, while Always Lalisa puts BLACKPINK star LISA front and center. Closer to home, 2 Valid IDs turns an all-too-familiar frustration into compelling drama, while Pee Mak mixes scares, laughs, and romance. Rounding out this week’s seven releases are Amazon-set creature thriller Beware Boiuna, K comedy-drama The Intern, and the seriously claustrophobic Whalefall.

Action? K-pop? Horror? Something with a little more heart? Here’s what’s new in cinemas this week.

In 2 Valid IDs, a poor farmer attempts to claim a remittance only to be turned away because she cannot provide the required identification. Her struggle to overcome the obstacle eventually pushes her into circumstances that test her character, beliefs, and sense of right and wrong.

It is a distinctly Filipino premise built around something many viewers will immediately recognize. With Pokwang at the center of the story, joined by Joey Marquez and Zaijian Jaranilla, the film finds drama in the frustrating realities of everyday life.

Away from the familiar dynamic of the group that helped turn her into a global superstar, LISA gets the chance to define what comes next on her own terms.

That nightmare becomes reality for Jay Gardiner in Whalefall. After his father dies, Jay heads into the waters off California searching for his remains. Instead, he finds himself swallowed by a massive whale.

He has just one hour of oxygen. Trapped inside the animal with time running out, Jay must figure out an escape using whatever he has available. And in an unexpected turn, the lessons his father left behind may be the very things that keep him alive.

Part survival thriller and part father-son story, Whalefall has one of the week’s wildest premises and a ticking clock built to keep the tension high.

What’s On Your Movie List This Week?

There is no single mood defining this Wednesday’s releases. Street Fighter brings the punches, Always Lalisa gives K-pop fans a closer look at LISA’s next chapter, and 2 Valid IDs turns an everyday Filipino struggle into a dramatic story. Horror fans can choose between the monster-sized danger of Beware Boiuna and the lighter supernatural fun of Pee Mak, while The Intern and Whalefall offer two very different stories about lessons learned from experience.

Whatever you’re in the mood for, there’s a new movie ready for your next cinema run. Grab your favorite snacks, round up your barkadas, and secure your tickets for your next big-screen fix.

Movie Review: A Straightforward Horror Film, “Other Mommy” Shines Through the Performances of Jessica Chastain and Arabella Olivia Clark

From the very first ten minutes of Other Mommy, we are immediately thrust into the terror. It’s a straightforward horror film that spends no time establishing the first act. Right from the get-go, we meet the titular Other Mommy, and the thrills and frights begin. It’s a really novel way to start a scary movie, wasting no time and going straight into the action. Director Rob Savage and screenwriter Nathan Elston (adapting Josh Malerman’s novel Incidents Around the House) get everything moving right away and it’s a wildly entertaining ride.

The story centers on seven-year-old Bela (Arabella Olivia Clark), who can tell something is not right with her mom and dad, Ursula (Jessica Chastain) and Russell (Jay Duplass). Ursula seems to be the more career-oriented parent, while Russell is the carefree, fun-loving stay-at-home dad. Luckily, or perhaps unfortunately, for Bela, she has a friend: a supernatural entity she calls Other Mommy. Other Mommy wants something from Bela; she wants permission to “be in her heart.” Within the first ten minutes of the film, the entity commits her first violent act and from then on, forcing Ursula and Russell to do whatever it takes to protect their daughter while guarding a dark secret of their own.

This film cuts away from many traditional narrative beats seen in movies involving hauntings and children. Ursula and Russell immediately believe Bela. They never question what it is that they see, nor is there a plotline where the parents refuse to believe Bela or what they see. In fact, they remain quite level-headed about it considering they just experienced a paranormal event. It feels deeply refreshing to watch a horror film where the main characters make practical, sensible decisions.

But how do you stop an entity that can shape-shift and move matter at will?

Savage, alongside cinematographer Lowell A. Meyer and editor John Cutler, manipulates the mise-en-scene and mise-en-shot so that every camera movement and every jump cut becomes a potentially frightening moment. The film is not afraid to use jump scares, but they never feel cheap or unwarranted. Other Mommy is a playful demon. Surprise is part of its strategy. For the audience, though, it keeps you firmly on the edge of your seat.

While Chastain gets top billing – playing both Ursula and the primary form of Other Mommy – she earns every bit of it. She keeps the two characters distinctly separate, but when the music turns up and you realize you are looking at Other Mommy rather than Ursula, Chastain uses her entire physicality to embody the strain required for the entity to assume this human form. As Bela says early in the film, “she’s still new” at this. Chastain uses this raw physical tension to fully show this and it is remarkable to watch.

Arabella Olivia Clark (Bela) in ‘Other Mommy’. (Courtesy of Universal Pictures)

But this film ultimately belongs to Clark. The young actress carries the movie with her delicate portrayal of childhood innocence and being overwhelmed by all that is happening. When she observes her surroundings, she knows exactly the full context of what she is seeing. We understand the entire story through her eyes. It’s an incredible performance from such a young actor and it helps ground the film and gives the audience someone truly worth rooting for.

My only issue is the usual classic American approach to horror. The protagonists feel compelled to fight back, and American exceptionalism comes into play, and it undercuts the fear that is established. It is such an American response that if something is in your way, you have to get rid of it – kill it, even – regardless of what it is. Having watched plenty of Asian horror, where characters simply focus on surviving, Americans have to fight back, and it comes off as arrogant. At the same time, as good as the CGI can be, the overuse of it takes us away from the fear. Fortunately, Cutler is good at keeping the visuals very brief, cutting away quickly before the audience can linger on the CGI effects. Still, by the second half, some of the initial magic established at the beginning is gone.

There is a lot to enjoy in Other Mommy, and it will get the crowd screaming in fright. While it grows a little bit corny by the end, the film delivers enough suspense and thrills to make it well worth the price of the ticket.

My Rating: 4 Stars

Run for your life: Experience “The End of Oak Street” in 4DX and A-Giant at Ayala Malls Cinemas!

This blockbuster season, Ayala Malls Cinemas elevates the movie-watching experience with their specialty cinemas, such as 4DX and A-Giant, offering more fun ways to enjoy movies. After braving strong currents in “The Odyssey” and swinging from skyscrapers in “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” movie audiences can now flee from and chase dinosaurs in “The End of Oak Street,” a family action adventure film best enjoyed on a giant screen like A-Giant, or in a multi-sensory cinema like 4DX, where movie audiences get to be as close as they can get to all the roaring action.

In “The End of Oak Street,” starring Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella (“My Old Ass”) and Christian Convery (who won a Children’s and Family Emmy for his lead role in “Sweet Tooth”), the Platt family seems like a regular 1980s suburban family, playing potato sack races with the community, joking around the table while having dinner, even having disagreements with the neighbor – and with each other – every once in a while. But all that changes when one day, a mysterious cosmic event rips their neighborhood from suburbia and transports Oak Street to someplace unknown, a place where dinosaurs roam the streets.

Co-producer J.J. Abrams (Star Wars and Star Trek franchises) is excited for audiences to see “the movie on the big screen. “‘The End of Oak Street” is a total thrill ride,” he says. “I’ve seen it with audiences. They scream and laugh and cry and cheer. It’s the sort of film that reminds you why you go to the movies.”

In 4DX, the dinosaur chases are more exciting because every time someone starts to run, the seat will first thrust forward and then continue heaving, swaying or tilting, according to the action happening onscreen. When a character gets hit by one of the invading creatures, the audience will feel it too. When a dinosaur roars, there will be a rush of air. If anyone (dinosaur or human) sneezes or if water gets splashed, the audience will get a little wet too. And on A-Giant, featuring a screen that is four times bigger than the standard movie screen, the dinosaurs seem all the more larger than life.

Of course, what’s an Ayala Malls Cinemas experience without the premium features they’re known for, including top-notch Dolby Audio and Dolby Atmos technologies that produce rich, multi-dimensional sound, making every pounding footstep, creaking door, ear-splitting scream and deafening roar feel more vivid and immersive; cutting-edge laser projections that deliver sharper images; and plush seating with generous legroom that provide comfort amidst all the tension and heart-pounding action on the big screen.

For moviegoers who prefer the convenience of booking tickets online, Ayala Malls Cinemas has you covered with www.ayalaallaccess.com, where you can easily secure tickets, select preferred seats, and even pre-order your favorite snacks before your movie date. The Movie Snackbar offers refreshing drinks and delicious movie snacks, such as burgers, hotdog sandwiches, nachos, chips, fries and, of course, popcorn. Popcorn flavors include Blazing Cheddar, Texan BBQ, Sour Cream & Chives and Farmhouse Cheddar. Greenbelt 3 Cinemas also offers gourmet flavors, namely Truffle Parmesan, Smoked Gouda and Salted Caramel.

Watch the Platt family try to survive dinosaurs with your own family and friends. As a gift for those watching with a group, for every two (2) 4DX tickets presented at the 4DX/Cinema 5 door on the film’s opening day, August 12, patrons will get a limited-edition “The End of Oak Street” key chain.

Dinosaurs will move into Oak Street when “The End of Oak Street” opens only in cinemas August 12. Don’t miss out and watch all the action and adventure in Ayala Malls Cinemas, including on 4DX and A-Giant!
