January

One of the New Year’s celebrated resolutions, Vin Diesel returns to his iconic role starring as agent X after lying dormant for 15years since the 2002 exploits. This is the third sequel to the initial 2002 film after a 2005 retcon installment xXx: State Of The Union that featured Ice Cube. This franchise is a mega blockbuster as it is in the mold of other espionage films like Mission Impossible, James Bond and the likes. It excites with high octane adrenalin exhilaration like missions, stunts, gadgets and the ever green Marvel Agents handler Lieutenant Agent Gibbins who is often a good omen for successful films like The Avengers, Captain America and other action franchises.
 Contenders to the January box office tittle- Split (Action Thriller) starring James McAvoy from Wanted. Moana (Animation) starring the Dwayne Johnson.  Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (Horror Suspense) starring daredevil Milla Jovovich.

 

February

Blockbuster heavyweight – The Great Wall

February certainly looks smashing on the big screen scope as mouthwatering action is lined up to serenade cinema legion. One movie in particularly is Matt Damon’s The Great Wall epic. It is a great depiction of the ancient Chinese folklore taking movie enthusiasts through the experience of The Great Wall of China battles. What I like about the film is that it is one of a few that see western (America) and Eastern (Chinese) film industries coming together in a project. The film is reminiscent of Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai, and other sword battle driven and mystery creatures’ infested adventures like your trendy hit TV series Game of Thrones.

Contenders to the February box office tittle- John Wick: Chapter 2 (Thriller). Keanu Reeves will be back as a mercenary. Fifty Shades Darker (Romance). Dakota Johnson will be back to rekindle the lingerie action once again on Valentine’s Day. A United Kingdom (Biography) a docu-drama about Sir Seretse Khama’s (David Oyelo) affection to a white woman will be on international display.

 

March

Blockbuster heavyweight – Kong: Skull Island

This is the month that I will be officially relocating to the big screen with my blankets and snacks as this pre-winter season will be kicking in with a bang. If you love indulging yourself in CGI graphics oriented films then Kong is one for you. The big Gorilla resurrects from the King Kong adventures bringing intense violence, animal rage and action to theatre. It is reminiscent of 2015’s Jurrassic World that had enthusiasts taking cover from a vicious dinosaur. Well, this time it is an oversised mutant ape. Tom Hiddlestone from Thor (Loki) tries to tame the beast.

Contenders to the March box office tittle- Main contenders to box office dominance are Logan (Adventure). Hugh Jackman takes his last shot of the dice at Wolverine.
