The Matrix Resurrections, the long-awaited fourth chapter in the groundbreaking franchise, is finally hitting theaters in the Philippines this week. The new film reunites original stars Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss in the iconic roles they made famous.

On HBO GO, we have The Suicide Squad spin-off series Peacemaker starring John Cena and written by James Gunn, where fans can expect the same energy, style and irreverent sense of humor as the film.

For horror fans who missed the movie in cinemas late last year, James Wan’s Malignant is now streaming on HBO GO.

Over on Netflix, a new supernatural mystery series Archive 81 and the unsettling stop-motion anthology The House drops this week. 

Here are some of the latest movies and series streaming from Jan. 10 to 16, 2022.
