Hello! I’m getting ready to begin my annual excursion to Atlanta’s Dragon*Con fantasy convention this weekend, but I wanted to do a brief wrap-up of some of the things that stood out this summer in theatres. The video embedded below touches a lot on the year more than just the summer, but a lot of wonderful films from this summer are mentioned, even if a couple of the most popular ones with film fans have gone unwatched thus far. I hope you enjoy, and here are some of the films and performances that stood out to me from the beginning of Hollywood’s summer to Labor Day.
