What’s in cinemas this November?
All eyes are on December’s cinematic double header “Avengers: Doomsday” and “Dune: Part 3.” But don’t sleep just yet on this month’s slate of films, which includes several must-see local dramas, as well as a highly anticipated prequel to a beloved book franchise.
“The Cat in the Hat” – Nov. 6
Dr. Seuss’ “The Cat in the Hat” comes to life in an epic adventure where the Cat, voiced by Bill Hader, embarks on an assignment for the I.I.I.I. (Institute for the Institution of Imagination and Inspiration, LLC) to bring cheer to a pair of siblings struggling with their move to a new town.
“The Cat in the Hat” is directed by Alessandro Carloni and Erica Rivinoja. Joining Hader in the cast are Xochitl Gomez, Matt Berry, Quinta Brunson, Paula Pell, and featuring Tiago Martinez, Giancarlo Esposito, America Ferrera, Bowen Yang, and Tituss Burgess.
“How to Rob a Bank” – Nov. 11
In this star-studded action flick, a group of content creators/bank robbers expose the corrupt banking system one heist at a time. However, with their growing fame, they soon fall under the crosshairs of the FBI—putting their grandiose performance at risk.
It’s a film about the little guy sticking it to the system—an age-old tale. Still, the ironic part is that it’s literally funded by Amazon.
“How to Rob a Bank” is directed by David Leitch and stars Nicholas Hoult, Zoë Kravitz, Anna Sawai, Rhenzy Feliz, Christian Slater as Walton, with Pete Davidson and John C. Reilly.
“Remember” – Nov. 11
Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera reunite to bring audiences to tears again. In “Remember,” an estranged couple must pretend to be a loving pair after their daughter risks losing her memory.
The two choose to put differences aside for the sake of their daughter, but soon find out that they too had forgotten something very important to them.
“You Can See Everything” – Nov. 18
Documentaries peer behind the curtain and offer new perspectives on events we thought we knew everything about—even the condemnation of a widely known fraud. In “You Can See Everything,” directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim follow notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison.
Holmes gained notoriety after she went public with health technology company Theranos, which claimed to have revolutionized blood testing. However, after the company was valued at billions, allegations of fraud later surfaced, leading Holmes to be sentenced to 11 years in prison.
“Status: Rejected” – Nov. 18
After premiering at Cinemalaya and the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia, “Status: Rejected” is finally screening at local cinemas. The film follows Virginia “Biring” Divinagracia, a 69-year-old widow who finds hope and purpose after living a life in service of others.
“Status: Rejected” is directed by Vahn Leinard C. Pascual, and stars Ruby Ruiz, Alessandra de Rossi, Beverly Salviejo, and Yani Villarosa.
“The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” – Nov. 18
While Katniss Everdeen will forever be known as the one who ended the Hunger Games and the Capitol’s iron-fisted rule, many unsung heroes behind the scenes set in motion the dominoes leading up to this rebellion.
“The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” follows sixteen-year-old Haymitch Abernathy as he takes part in the 50th Annual Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.
“The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping” stars Joseph Zada, Jesse Plemons, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Elle Fanning, Maya Hawke, Whitney Peak, and Kelvin Harrison Jr.
“Focker In-Law” – Nov. 25
Welcoming new in-laws isn’t always so easy, because it also entails somewhat letting go of your loved one. In “Focker In-Law,” Ben Stiller faces the music as his beloved son introduces his would-be fiancée.
And he’s quite the overbearing parent, because even Ariana Grande isn’t getting an easy pass into the family.
“Focker In-Law” is directed by John Hamburg. Joining Stiller and Grande in the cast are Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, Skyler Gisondo, Beanie Feldstein, and Eduardo Franco.
“Hexed” – Nov 25
Disney’s latest original film follows teenage girl Billie Doe as she is hurled into the unknown witch realm of Hexe—where she discovers untapped magical abilities that her mother, Alice, hid from her. When Alice follows her into Hexe, Billie finds out exactly why this secret was kept from her as they face a threat that could change the world of witches.
“Hexed” is directed by Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand, and stars Hailee Steinfeld, Rashida Jones, Walton Goggins, and Jodie Foster.
