June movies are all about legacies and tradition. This month’s new releases include a debut feature by the daughter of a famed filmmaker, a sequel to a beloved animation, a prequel to a popular monster flick, an addition to the canon of an auteur starring his usual cohort of actors and an epic in which Kevin Costner returns to the American West.
