What’s new in theaters today
Three very different films land in Spanish cinemas on Friday, August 14 — a creepy family sci-fi, a tense London thriller, and a ridiculous family comedy. There’s something for every mood: introspective weirdness, high-stakes panic, or pure slapstick mayhem.
The End of Oak Street — suburban weirdness with big-name leads
David Robert Mitchell returns with a film that takes a perfectly normal cul-de-sac and shakes it loose from reality. When the Platt family’s street is mysteriously pulled away from its ordinary life, they’re dumped into an unfamiliar place where sticking together becomes a matter of survival.
Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor headline the cast, backed up by Maisy Stella and Christian Convery. Expect mood, atmosphere, and some tense family moments as the characters try to figure out where they are and whether cooperation will be enough to get them home.
Countdown — bomb scare turns into a brazen heist
This thriller starts with a grim discovery: construction workers unearth an unexploded World War II bomb in central London. The city scrambles, evacuations kick in, and panic spreads — the perfect cover for criminals with a plan.
It’s a race-against-time story that mixes evacuation chaos with crafty crooks taking advantage of the mess. If you like ticking-clock tension and clever nightmare logistics, this one could keep you gripping your popcorn.
Marsupilami — a zoo job gone gloriously sideways
Want something light? Marsupilami is the pick for families and anyone who enjoys controlled chaos. David, desperate to save his zoo gig, accepts a wild-sounding errand in South America. The trip becomes a cruise nightmare when he’s joined by his ex, their kid, and an awkward coworker named Stéphane.
One wrong move — Stéphane opens a mysterious package — and out pops a baby marsupilami. Cue adorable havoc, fish-out-of-water comedy, and a travelogue of snort-laugh moments. It’s silly, sweet, and designed to make kids (and grownups) grin.
So, which should you pick?
Want atmosphere and emotional bite? Head for The End of Oak Street. Need adrenaline and plot twists? Countdown will do the trick. Bringing the whole family? Marsupilami is the light, laugh-ready choice.
Whatever you choose, August 14 is a pleasantly chaotic day at the movies — pick your vibe and enjoy the ride.
