As this critic continues to look back at some of this Summer's films I have taken in, I would be remiss if I didn't mention one of the most overall unsettling trends in Hollywood over the last several years.....sequels, reboots, and remakes.

That is why it’s so crucial that we amplify their voices through any way we can, storytelling being a great medium to do so.
