It’s that time again folks….

It’s been a year to remember for filmgoers with the box-office producing record figures for various flicks including Black Panther, Crazy Rich Asians, Bohemian Rhapsody, Mary Poppins Returns and of course, Avengers: Infinity War.

With that in mind, I’m delighted to have put together two separate articles which focus on my highlights of Film 2018. Part 1 features a number of different categories with Part 2 focusing on my acting winners and Top 11 of the year.

Now, “Off We Go!”
