Enough, Hollywood! Your movies are the envy of the world, but all you seem to be able to offer this summer are either remakes or drawn-out franchises. Toy Story, Shrek, Sex and the City, Robin Hood (what was wrong with Kevin Costner's portrayal?) and The Karate Kid all ran their course, so let them rest peacefully, their legacy left untarnished. But amidst all these junky remakes and slipshod sequels, Hollywood still manages some promising successes this summer.
