The film is replete with themes of family and marriage, ultimately posing the question: What are you willing to sacrifice for a chance to turn back time and save the person you love?</p><div><strong>&quot;Becky and Badette&quot; (April 4, 2024)<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1711426524819Becky and Badette 4.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></strong></div><p>Anyone who has lived paycheck-to-paycheck will relate to the struggles of best friends Becky and Badette as they try to make ends meet, clocking day in and day out, and dreaming of stumbling upon that one glorious opportunity to finally make it big — except these two actually did. Pokwang and Eugene Domingo star in this comedy as best friends who, fed up with their lives, went viral after falsely coming out as a lesbian couple, with the bit eventually becoming grounds for years-long rivalry and bitterness to surface.</p><div><strong>&quot;Gomburza&quot; (April 9, 2024)<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1711426541539GomBurZa 2.PNG" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></strong></div><p>If you need to brush up on your knowledge on what transpired during the Spanish colonial rule in the Philippines, watching &quot;GomBurZa&quot; might be a good way to start. The movie tells the story of Fr. Mariano Gomez, Fr. Jose Burgos, and Fr. Jacinto Zamora, played by Dante Rivero, Cedrick Juan, and Enchong Dee respectively, three Catholic priests executed in 1872 for suspicions of sedition, offering a revolting insight into one of the most pivotal moments in Philippine history.</p><div><strong>&quot;(K)ampon&quot; (April 16, 2024)<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1711426559098EN-US_Kampon_9x16_RGB_PRE_op2.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></strong></div><p>Clark and Eileen have been married for eight years and have endured their friends’ and family’s goading at the fact that they’re childless — until a child turns up at their home claiming to be Clark’s daughter. But the question is... is she really? Derek Ramsey and Beauty Gonzales star in this horror film that puts “black arts” at the forefront of its story, unraveling a chilling tale of family secrets and the supernatural.</p><div><strong>&quot;Family of Two&quot; (June 1, 2024)<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1711426607872Family of Two 1.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></strong></div><p>Sharon Cuneta and Alden Richards star in &quot;Family of Two,&quot; a poignant and endearing film about a single mother and her son. Faced with the dilemma of wanting to uproot his life and move abroad with the love of his life, Matty (Richards) makes it his goal to find his mom a suitable partner to make his pending migration easy for her. This soon tested the bond between mother and son, eventually paving the way for unexpected challenges and heartwarming moments that we’re all too familiar with.</p><div><strong>&quot;Penduko&quot; (June 7, 2024)<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1711426625979EN-US_Penduko_9x16_RGB_PRE_OP2.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></strong></div><p>&quot;Penduko&quot; is a remake of the beloved franchise, with Matteo Guidicelli as the titular character. In this retelling, Pedro is a young man who journeys back to his province and ultimately embraces a group of unlikely heroes, along with the unexpected supernatural powers he inherited from his ancestors. Together, they fight to fend off the evil running amok in their town.</p><div><strong>&quot;Mallari&quot; (June 21, 2024)<img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1711426656261Mallari 3.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></strong></div><p>&quot;Mallari&quot; centers around the fictional descendant of Fr. Severino Mallari, infamously known as the first recorded serial killer in the Philippines’ Jonathan, portrayed by seasoned actor Piolo Pascual, driven by his own quest to find a cure for his dying girlfriend, Agnes (Janella Salvador), delves into the motivations behind his ancestor’s early 1800s murders. His search leads him to their ancestral home, where he eventually discovers not what he’s looking for, but generations’ worth of curse. &quot;Mallari&quot; has a non-linear narrative, with Pascual portraying three different roles across three generations, weaving a series of events into one cohesive storyline.</p>
