Six months in, the strikes areover.
Ten days out, the holidays begin.
As for the movies unfortunately, the most exciting part of the year isalready behind us.

Meanwhile, Amazon MGMsAmerican Fictionwill lure the I dont know whether to laugh or cry sophisticates.
Plus, of course, the popcorn movies:Trolls.
Not a bad mix.
But theres nothing explosive in it nothing to wake and shake the audience, as didBarbieandOppenheimerlast summer.
The originalAvatarwas one such.
It was silent (almost entirely).
It traipsed around the awards circuit with a dog named Uggie and ultimately was named Best Picture.
That was a film to wake up the season.
It made the holidays unpredictable.
And lot of fun.
And the very best part of the movie year.
