A Trifecta of What’s Best on the Box for Sunday 1 April 2018
Today’s Number One Film: 
Black Panther, various times, MovieTowne. Watch this if you liked Skyfall, Captain America: The Winter Soldier or Doctor Strange. Many
very intelligent people dismiss comic book and/or superhero movies out
of hand and it’s difficult to persuade them they’re wrong; Ryan
Coogler’s Black Panther may be the
strongest argument so far made to convince them. You would expect great
things of the young director whose first feature film was the
gut-wrenching realist Fruitvale Station, particularly when he followed it up by making the best – and only genuinely good – Rocky movie in Creed;
but, even with those first two geometrically progressing leaps, no one
could have predicted he would have sprang forward so far on the last leg
of his triple jump that he’d be out of the sandbox entirely when he
landed, on his feet, running.
