Eight ‘big ones’ for 2018

I currently have a soft spot for the smaller films and indies but you can’t ignore the big franchises, comic book heroes and juggernauts coming your way in 2018, including:

1. “Black Panter.” Estimated release: February 9. This is list in chronological order but when I saw the trailer drop—it looks like Marvel’s going to hit this out of the ballpark again. Great cast—including some serious female badasses like Danai Gurira (Michonne from “The Walking Dead”), Angela Basset and Lupita Nyong’o. Directed by Ryan Coogler of the award winning Fruitvale Station.
