Predator: Badlands  

Release Date: 6 November 2025 

Starring: Elle Fanning, Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi

At the start of November, cinemagoers will be in for a wild ride with Predator: Badlands, a bold reinvention of the famed franchise that shifts the gaze from human prey to an alien hunter’s fight for survival and redemption. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (of Prey fame), the film relocates the story to a distant, unforgiving planet where a young outcast Yautja named Dek (Dimitrius Schuster‑Koloamatangi) teams up with an android ally, Thia (Elle Fanning), to confront not just his clan but the ultimate adversary. With this fresh perspective, making the predator the protagonist for once, the narrative invites viewers to explore themes of belonging, honour and survival in a hostile world where the hunter becomes the hunted. For sci-fi action fans hungry for action, spectacle and a clever twist on a familiar mythos, Predator: Badlands promises to be a standout outing not to be missed.

Screening at Shaw Theatres and movie theatres islandwide from 6 November 2025. Click here for more information and to book tickets.

Kiss Of The Spider Woman

Release Date: 6 November 2025 

Starring: Diego Luna, Tonatiuh, Jennifer Lopez

With luminous production and poignant emotional stakes, Kiss of the Spider Woman emerges as a daring re-imagination of a cult classic: the dated prison-cell drama is recast as a musical that dazzles and disrupts in equal measure. Set in the oppressive Buenos Aires of the early 1980s, where two men share confinement and, unexpectedly, intimacy, the narrative uses old-Hollywood-style escapism to shed light on the brutalities of authoritarian rule and the tender defiance of love. The triple role of the glamorous icon Ingrid Luna, embodied by Jennifer Lopez, becomes more than screen fantasy; it stands in for identity, desire and survival, and anchors the film’s striking visual duality between the cell’s stark reality and the silk-lined fantasy world. At its core, the story’s themes are unmistakably universal: representation matters, and so does the courage to love and be seen.

Screening at Shaw Theatres from 6 November 2025. Click here for more information and to book tickets.

Pets On A Train (Falcon Express)

Release Date: 13 November 2025 

Starring: Damien Ferrette, Hervé Jolly, Kaycie Chase, Frantz Confiac, Emmanuel Garijo

Pets on a Train (also known as Falcon Express) is a high-energy animated adventure that delivers a blend of humour, action and heart. Set against the backdrop of a runaway train during the Christmas season, the film follows Falcon, a raccoon with a penchant for mischief, and Rex, a no-nonsense police dog, as they team up to thwart the plans of Hans, a vengeful badger bent on chaos. The narrative unfolds with a dynamic ensemble of pets, including a cat, rabbit, snake, and even a social media-obsessed dog, each contributing to the drama. The film’s engaging action sequences and lighthearted humour makes this a perfect choice for a family movie outing — the kids will surely enjoy the vibrant energy of the animation and the entertaining premise of the story.

Sisu: Road To Revenge 

Release Date: 20 November 2025 

Starring: Jorma Tommila, Richard Brake, Stephen Lang 

Sisu: Road to Revenge roars back with even more grit, fury and over-the-top spectacle than its predecessor Sisu. Jorma Tommila returns as Aatami Korpi — the near-mythic survivor whose unyielding resolve turns vengeance into an art form. Set against a post-WWII wasteland, the film drives through relentless action, explosive set pieces and dark humour, all wrapped in director Jalmari Helander’s signature blend of brutality and style. It’s a fierce, fuel-charged sequel that proves sometimes silence and sheer willpower speak louder than bullets. A perfect watch for those who crave raw, unflinching cinematic adrenaline!

Screening at Shaw Theatres and movie theatres islandwide from 20 November 2025. Click here for more information and to book tickets.

Wicked: For Good  

Release Date: 20 November 2025 

Starring: Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jeff Goldblum

With the same bold vision that transformed the stage phenomenon into a global film sensation, Wicked: For Good delivers a richly layered finale to the witches’ saga, where estranged friends Elphaba Thropp (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda Upland (Ariana Grande) find themselves on opposing sides of Oz’s power structure and must confront the consequences of their choices before forging a new future “for good.” Director Jon M. Chu ups the emotional stakes as political uprising, personal betrayal and the weight of legend collide in sweeping musical moments and intimate character beats alike. The result is a dazzling, resonant spectacle that doesn’t just rewrite a well-worn fairy tale — it questions who gets to define what’s “good,” who is labeled “wicked,” and whether redemption is ever really off-limits. Fans of the 2024 Wicked film will no doubt be looking forward to this highly-anticipated sequel.

Disney’s Zootopia 2

Release Date: 27 November 2025 

Starring: Jason Bateman, Quinta Brunson, Fortune Feimster 

With the upcoming sequel, Disney returns to the bustling mammal metropolis of Zootopia and delivers Zootopia 2: a vibrant, witty detective caper that reunites bunny-cop Judy Hopps and sly fox partner Nick Wilde in an unexpected new mystery. The pair are drawn this time into uncharted corners of the city as they trail a mysterious reptilian character whose arrival threatens to upend the signed-and-sealed peace of this animated world. With returning humour, heartfelt teamwork and fresh layers of social commentary, this sequel aims to expand and deepen the original’s themes while keeping the charm and visual energy that made the first film a hit, promising a fun adventure which the whole family will certainly enjoy.

The post New On Screen: November 2025 appeared first on eNSMAN.

Whether you are a weekend warrior or a casual player who just wants to stop feeding your friends’ egos, bowling is the perfect mix of skill, strategy, and social fun. But if you’ve ever walked away from the lane muttering, “Next time, I’ll crush them,” that time is now.

Here’s how to up your game at bowling and make every strike count, all while enjoying epic SAFRA members’ discounts that give you more play for your buck.

Master the Basics (And Then Some)

You’d be surprised how many players grip the ball wrong or throw too hard. The trick? Keep your wrist firm, swing naturally, and let the ball’s weight do the work. Remember, bowling isn’t about brute force, it’s about control. Visualise your shot before you release, aim for the arrow markers (not the pins), and you’ll start seeing those satisfying strikes roll in.

Pro tip: Don’t rush your approach. Smooth steps and consistent timing can instantly elevate your accuracy.

Pick Your Perfect Ball

Forget the one-size-fits-all mindset. The ideal bowling ball is about 10% of your body weight (but no more than 7 kg), with finger holes that fit snugly – not too tight, not too loose. A properly fitted ball improves spin, accuracy, and confidence.

At SAFRA’s bowling alleys, you can find a range of house balls and even chat with staff for tips on finding your best fit. If you’re playing regularly, consider investing in your own custom ball – it’s a game-changer.

Turn Bowling Into A Fitness Routine

Believe it or not, bowling is a sneaky full-body workout. You’re engaging your legs, core, shoulders, and even improving your balance and coordination. So the next time someone says you’re “just hanging out at the alley,” tell them you’re working on your athletic form (and your strike rate). Try alternating hands during practice or doing some squats and stretches between frames as it helps with your stamina and consistency.

Make It Social, Make It Count

Bowling’s best when it’s shared, so bring your friends, family, or your SAFRA kakis. With comfy lanes, good vibes, and plenty of laughs, SAFRA’s bowling facilities make the perfect hangout spots after work or on weekends.

Practice Makes Perfect (And Now’s The Time To Go All In)

Here’s your chance to bowl like a pro without breaking the bank: SAFRA members can enjoy 3 hours of unlimited bowling for just $100 at Sonic Bowl, valid until end-November 2025 – and yes, you can use your LifeSG credits to redeem this!

It’s the perfect excuse to gather your kakis for a night of competitive fun. Warm up with a few frames, experiment with angles and release techniques, and turn your practice into a friendly showdown.

But hurry! This LifeSG credit offer ends soon, and once November’s over, so is your shot at this epic deal.

So What Are You Waiting For?

Roll into SuperBowl or Sonic Bowl before 30 November 2025, redeem your LifeSG credits, and lock in 3 hours of unlimited bowling for just $100. Whether you’re chasing strikes, spares, or pure bragging rights, this is your chance to up your game… and finally beat your bros!

SuperBowl is located at SAFRA Mount Faber, SAFRA Tampines and SAFRA Toa Payoh. SAFRA members can enjoy special rates of up to 20% discount at SuperBowl.
Click here for more information.

Sonic Bowl is located at SAFRA Punggol, SAFRA Yishun and SAFRA Choa Chu Kang. At Sonic Bowl, SAFRA members and affiliated members can get 15% discount for lane use and 20% discount for services and F&B.

Good Boy  

Release Date: 30 October 2025 

Starring: Indy, Shane Jensen, Arielle Friedman 

Good Boy turns the haunted-house genre upside down by telling its story through the eyes – and instincts – of a loyal dog named Indy, rather than the humans who inhabit the house. When Indy and his owner Todd move into a secluded country home, the pooch begins to sense something deeply wrong – dark forces unseen by the human eye but vivid in every rustle, shadow, and whispered creak. Director Ben Leonberg’s debut leans into this canine perspective to build not with cheap scares but with creeping dread, letting the audience feel the tension, confusion, and helplessness of a companion who can’t speak. For fans of atmospherics, empathetic creatures, and horror that creeps under your skin, Good Boy offers something fresh in a familiar genre, and will be the perfect film to watch this Halloween.

As the government grows increasingly concerned over the rise of this cult-like organisation, the film delves into questions of control, morality, and personal conviction, all set against a backdrop of expertly choreographed combat and suspense. With its mix of psychological intrigue and high-octane action, Tin Soldier will keep you on edge while examining what it truly means to serve a cause.

In what promises to be the franchise’s final, spine-chilling chapter, The Conjuring: Last Rites brings back Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren for one last paralysing case – this time rooted in the haunting true story of the Smurl family from 1986. Directed by Michael Chaves and capped with a surge of supernatural intensity, the new trailer teases bone-chilling visuals – exorcisms, blood, hair, and a surprise appearance from the iconic Annabelle doll.
