With a new year, there are also new movies. A few selections have captured my interest because of either their plot or characters. Here are five of my most anticipated movie releases for 2018:
Proud Mary
Release date: January 2018
“Proud Mary” is about a hired hit woman to a Boston crime family whose life is turned around after an encounter with a young boy. Taraji P. Henson’s portrayal of the character is one to reckon with if the film’s trailer is anything to go by!
A Wrinkle in Time
Release date: March 2018
“A Wrinkle in Time” tells the story of Meg Murray, a young girl, journeying across a series of dimensions to save her father with the help of three guardians. With Storm Reid as Meg, and Mindy Kaling, Oprah Winfrey, and Reese Witherspoon as “the Mrs,” this looks to be one of the most eventful movies for the year!
Black Panther
Release date: February 2018
“Black Panther” shows the homecoming of T’Challa to a futuristic Africa in order to reclaim his late father’s throne. The buzz surrounding this movie has been tremendous, and since Chadwick Boseman plays the leading character, I have no doubt in my mind it will deliver!
Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2
Release date: November 2018
“Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2” continues after six years to place Ralph and Vanellope in a race against new technology to save their arcade. John C. Reilly and Sarah Silverman return to their roles respectively to give us another dose of animated chaos!
Ocean's 8
Release date: June 2018
“Ocean’s 8” takes a look into Debbie Ocean’s ultimate heist: stealing $150 million worth of jewelry at the Met Gala. Sandra Bullock leads this star-studded, all-female group of criminal masterminds in this anticipated spin off!
