Towards the end of 2016, I got a WhatsApp broadcast message containing a list of movies to look out for in 2017. It was a very long list and I couldn't help but wonder how long it took the composer to compile it. Inspired by this, I decided to come up with my own list; not as long, just a few I believe techies would enjoy.

 Logan (March 3)

Hugh Jackman returns in his final role as Wolverine. His retirement plans are shattered when he has to protect the young clone of himself from forces haunting her.
