Captain America Civil War. Going to see the King of Wakanda tomorrow.
 
The Machine (2013) Great low-budget A.I. sci-fi which I've watched several times now. What seems a pretty 2D performance by Caity Lotz in the first half becomes an awesome one in the second.

Early Man

While it's not as great as previous Aardman Animation films (like Shaun the Sheep), I thought it was enjoyable. It's got a simple plot and full of colorful characters. There's some decent comedy and what you'd expect for a movie about caveman vs civilization....playing futbol. The 2nd half of the movie is all about playing futbol and there's some funny gags along the way. However, the claymation is the real star of the movie. It's incredible to look at and they continue to prove with each film. Overall, it's a decent animated movie that is still more sophisticated than the majority of Hollywood animated movies.
8/10

I, Tonya. There's good performances by Robbie and Janney and the first hour is solid. After that I kind of lost interest in the story and it really dragged out the whole incident plot just a bit too much, as if they were struggling to fill in the last 30 minutes or so.
 
BLACK PANTHER

Taking place right after the events of Captain America: Civil War T'Challa / Black Panther
takes the throne as king of Wakanda,but being king comes with a set of challenges and unforseen circumstances.

Director/writer Ryan Coogler and writer Joe Robert Cole have crafted a compelling story coupled with a super hero movie.
A story that includes betrayal,loyalty,familial and tribal turmoil,and secrets that can alter a family and kingdom.
While not being preachy the film gets it's points across about racism,but it's also a celebration of black culture.
The cast : Chadwick Boseman,Michael B. Jordan,Lupita Nyong'O,Danai Gurira,Daniel Kaluuya,
Letitia Wright,Winston Duke,Angela Bassett,Andy Serkis, Forest Whitaker and Martin Freeman
all bring something to the table.There is a joy and intensity to their performances that drew me to each of them.It made me invest in them.
We are presented with a villain Michael B. Jordan as N'Jadaka / Erik "Killmonger" Stevens in which when you look at the foundation of the character you understand his motivations,but disagree with the path he takes.
I loved how the film displayed the strength of love for country and family.
The action sequences were stunning,the tribal challenges were intense and drove me to the edge of my seat.
There are great points about personal responsibility.How much can you give to the world and still be true to yourself and your countrymen? Should i remain isolated or help my fellow man?
The film is visually stunning great costume design from Ruth Carter.Along with good touches of humor and words and moments that definitely struck a few emotional chords.

My only problems with the film the CGI was off in a few sequences and there were a few predictable moments.

The film breezes by i definitely didnt feel the films 2 hour and 20 minute running time.

In the end i felt i got a sleek and involving super hero film,but also a message about sincerity and genuinely wanting to unite people.It's the kind of positivity we all desperately need right now.

So rejoice and enjoy Black Panther because this type of film making we dont see often.

Scale of 1-10 a 9
 
Black Panther
Then I began my road to Infinity War rewatch with Iron Man and the Incredible Hulk

Whisper of The Heart - One of my favorite Ghibli films. Love how down to earth the whole film feels. It's really a nice romance at its core. - 9.5 / 10
