Remember when I said that the movie releases in October would prepare us for November? Well, here we are, and this month is mostly made of feel-good movies and then the hammer is brought down in the form of a drama outlining the accusations against Hollywood giant, Harvey Weinstein. As far as what you should look forward to, Disney and Marvel kind of have a chokehold over this month, so this is a great time to either take kids to the movies, or just embrace your inner child a little bit.

 

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has to be on the top of the list this month (and I might boldly say this year) for the sheer fact that this is 1. a movie that MCU fans have waited to release for nearly 5 years, and 2. will be the first time that we see Wakanda without their King T’Challa. It’s bound to be an emotional ride, and I don’t think anyone is prepared for it. How can you?
