Whooops. Looks like ‘Captain Marvel’ isn’t going to conquer the rest of the screens this March, as three Filipino films will (hopefully) be dominating Metro Manila cinemas today, March 13!
The same goes for ABS-CBN’s REELive the Classics as it opens with Dolphy’s Captain Barbel and Fox Searchlight/20th Century Fox’s The Aftermath starring Kiera Knightley, Jason Clarke, and Alexander Skarsgard.
Here’s something to look forward to this week for your weekly cinema viewing:
Kuya Wes
What to look out for: That ‘breaking the fourth wall scene’
James Mayo’s Cinemalaya hit braces the screen to commercial release. Starring Ogie Alcasid and Ina Raymundo, ‘Kuya Wes’ is a man working for a remittance office finds his “destiny” in one of his frequent customers. The film earned nominations here and abroad, including a Best Actress win for Ms. Raymundo at the recent Fantasporto International Film Festival. This goes without saying that this is by far one of Ogie Alcasid’s best performances.
Neomanila
“Biktima…
Suspek…
Pare-pareho…”
Mikhail Red’s Neomanila finally graces commercial release after nearly two years. Co-written with Rae Red and Zig Dulay, the film tackles war on drugs through an unlikely heroine played by Eula Valdez, who trains an orphan to become a professional assassin — much like herself. Prepare to be served with intense action and impeccable visuals in this neo-noir thriller. If you aren’t afraid of spoilers, read our review here.
Ulan
We’ll get back to you: On what those ‘Tikbalangs’ are for.
I know, I know, I’m not exactly sure how to position the synopsis of this film. From the looks of it’s trailer, and from Miss Nadine Lustre herself, Ulan is a film about a superstitious woman who’s life is affected by belief and — maybe — the belief that she can never find love… especially when it rains. 😛 Irene Villamor is becoming one of those exciting filmmaker-screenwriters to look out for each year so here’s hoping this one lives up to its hype.
