The weekend is here.
With the cold weather creeping in, there are some who would rather stay snug under a blanket at home and catch up on a series. But those willing to brave the cold and head out to the cinema will be well rewarded. Here are five blockbusters worth watching on the big screen:
1. Deadpool 2 (Action, Sci-Fi, Comedy)
Ryan Reynolds returns as Wade Wilson for the second instalment of "Deadpool". He's a superhero vigilante looking to stop new supervillain Cable, played by Josh Brolin, who also played Thanos in "Avengers: Infinity War".
"Deadpool 2", which is part of the X-Men and Marvel comics franchises, debuts in SA theatres on Friday and will be looking to go big at the box office, after the first film in 2016 grossed $783,1-million [about R10-billion] worldwide.
2. Life of the Party (Comedy)
Comedy actress Melissa McCarthy returns to the big screen in this hilarious movie about a newly divorced mother who returns to college to complete her degree and ends up bonding with her daughter's friends.
3. Acrimony (Drama, Thriller)
Taraji P Henson stars in this psychological thriller / drama as a woman tired of her devious husband's ways. Her feelings soon turn to rage, when she finds out her husband has indeed been betraying her.
