Angela Bassett | The Movie My Life

Black Panther (2018), Lupita Nyong'o — Black Panther (2018), Lupita Nyong’o

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Black Panther (2018).

Directed by Ryan Coogler (Creed 2015) and starring Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o and Angela Bassett, Black Panther is Marvel’s latest comic book superhero movie. And as is the case with all superhero movies, Black Panther is about a hero rising to defend many from an outside enemy.

Boseman plays T’Challa, the new ruler of the advanced kingdom of Wakanda, and it’s up to him to prevent his land from being torn apart.

My general fatigue where superhero movies are concerned will need to simmer down a little, just so I can enjoy this film. I love how ‘queenly’ and in charge Lupita looks, especially at 1:11 in the trailer.

Boseman is an actor we can all rely on, along with the rest of the Black Panther cast. So, yes, I’m very excited indeed. And since February is my birthday month, I’ll consider this film as the personal gift to me that it clearly is.

How very far away February suddenly seems.

Danai Gurira, Martin Freeman, Forest Whitaker, Florence Kasumba and Andy Serkis also star.

Black Panther Release Dates: February 16th, 2018 (UK & US); February 15th, 2018 (GER)…

Happy Film Loving,

London Has Fallen (2016), Gerard Butler, Aaron Eckhart

As unsettling as the idea behind London Has Fallen (2016) may be, the new movie directed by Babak Najafi and starring Gerard Butler, Morgan Freeman, Aaron Eckhart and Charlotte Riley looks like it’s going to be quite the spectacle.

The imagery of London actually falling is certainly horrific, but I still couldn’t help yelping with joy at the excellent execution of this teaser trailer.
