KUNG nasa mood kayong mag-movie marathon ngayong long weekend, narito ang ilang mga magagandang pelikula na ipinapalabas na sa mga sinehan.

Kabilang na riyan ang Hollywood debut ng aktres na si Liza Soberano na “Lisa Frankenstein.”

Ang istorya ng pelikula ay umiikot kay “Lisa Swallows” na ginagampanan ni Kathryn Newton na umibig sa isang gwapong bangkay na tinawag na “The Creature” at pinagbibidahan naman ni Cole Sprouse.

Ang role naman ni Liza ay bilang si “Taffy,” ang stepsister ni Kathryn.

Narito ang synopsis na inilabas ng Universal Pictures:

“In ‘Lisa Frankenstein,’ it’s 1989 and Lisa Swallows (Kathryn Newton), an awkward 17-year-old, is trying to adjust to a new school and a new life after her mother’s death and her father’s hasty remarriage. Despite the unwavering support offered by her plucky cheerleader step sister Taffy (Liza Soberano), Lisa only finds solace in the abandoned cemetery near her house, where she tends to the grave of a young man who died in 1837 – and whose corpse she unwittingly reanimates (Cole Sprouse). Feeling obligated to help the poor soul regain his humanity, Lisa embarks on a quest to breathe new life into her long-dead new companion. All she needs to succeed are some freshly harvested body parts and Taffy’s broken tanning bed.”

Baka Bet Mo: Liza Soberano nag-shine nang bonggang-bongga sa ‘Lisa Frankenstein’

Mapapanood na rin ang reboot at modern take ng 2004 hit movie na “Mean Girls.”

Ang American musical teen comedy film ay tungkol sa isang bagong estudyante na mainit na tinanggap ng sikat na grupo na “The Plastics,” pero ‘yan ay nagbago mula nang ma-inlove siya sa ex-dyowa ng lider ng nasabing elite group.

Halos same pa rin naman ang takbo ng kwento, pero ang kakaiba kasi ay pinagsama nila ang peg sa 2004 film at broadway musical noong 2018.

Bibida sa pelikula ang Australian actress na si Angourie Rice bilang si “Cady Heron” na dating ginampanan ni Lindsay Lohan.

Ang bagong kontrabida naman ay ang American actress na si Reneé Rapp bilang “Regina George” na dating si Rachel McAdams.

Habang ang kontrabidang minions na sina “Gretchen” at “Karen” ay napunta sa American actresses na sina Bebe Wood at Avantika, na dating role naman nina Amanda Seyfried at Lacey Chabert.

Magbabalik naman ang American actress-comedian na si Tina Fey to reprise her role bilang si “Ms. Norbury” at nagsisilbing writer ulit ng bagong musical movie.

Saksihan din sa mga sinehan ang follow-up ng best-selling manga na “Tokyo Revengers.”

Chowing na kasi ang ikalawang parte nito na pinamagatang “Tokyo Revengers 2: Bloody Halloween- Destiny.”

“This action-packed film takes us once again to a time traveling quest with Takemichi to prevent the current timeline as he failed to prevent Hinata being killed,” saad sa inilabas na synopsis ng Encore Film Philippines.

Patuloy pa, “The much awaited sequel sees the cast reprise their roles as the battle continues. Takumi Kitamura plays the protagonist Takemichi Hanagaki. Formerly adrift and purposeless, he travels to the past to what he claims is his peak era, to a violent event known as Bloody Halloween, to prevent the sequence of events that lead to the future murder of his beloved Hinata Tachibana, played by Imada Mio.”

Bukod kina Takumi at Imada, ilan pa sa mga tampok sa pelikula ay ang Japanese actors na sina Yoshizawa Ryo, Yamada Yuki, Maeda Gordon, Sugino Yosuke, at marami pang iba.
