Black Panther joins Wonder Woman as the second cultural-phenomena superhero blockbuster in half a year, each a terrific specimen of the superhero genre, yet transcending it in social impact. Females saw themselves anew in Gal Gadot; The African diaspora gains a new and fantastic folklore in *…

Things get pretty tense when puny humans in underwater tin cans face the Megolodon (A Big Ass Shark). Non stop fishy action, but I’m still nostalgic for Jaws |
