I think it's a photo finish regarding whether II or IV is the best Trek movie, but the humor is what puts IV slightly ahead for me. As great as II is, it's so dark and depressing, and I like my Trek to be entertaining as well, and IV is a blast to watch.

But they're so close in quality that it doesn't really matter. If the prints of all the Trek movies were being destroyed and I had to choose which two were saved, it would be II and IV. The former is the best dark one and the latter is the best funny one.

I guess it comes down to whether you prefer the tension and excitement of ST2, or the fun and whimsy of ST4.
Personally, I think that ST2 was the better made film, on a technical level, but I'd rather watch ST4, simply because it's more enjoyable.

Perry Mason: The Case of the Fatal Fashion (1991)

It's so funny to hear the word "modem" used as a verb. "So anyone could have used this computer to modem a file to the office computer?"

The Uninvited.

Horror film about a troubled teen age girl, who has been institutionalized since her mother had died the year before, returns home to find that her father has taken up with his wife's former nurse. That is when the girl starts having horrifying visions of her mother calling the nurse a murderer. The girl and her sister are determined to discover the truth - but that truth threatens to reveal something terribly unexpected. Remake of a Japanese horror film.

The Counselor.

Michael Fassbender heads up an all star cast in this crime drama about a lawyer, trying to give the woman he's insanely in love with the very best in the world, gets involved with a one time drug deal involving eccentric characters who are in turn associated with the most terrible human beings. Everything the lawyer loves - including his fiancee - is threatened by his involvement when everything goes wrong. And the source of the betrayal that leads to everyone's downfall is from the most unexpected place. First rate thinking man's movie with plenty of action and intrigue.

I recently watched Amicus' "And Now the Screaming Starts" with Peter Cushing and Herbert Lom. I really liked the fact that you had to keep watching it until the very end in order to know why these strange events were happening and why the fearful characters would not divulge infomation. I am a big fan of Amicus and Hammer Horror films. :)

Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes

A well-directed, fast-paced, intense follow-up to 2011's Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Set ten years after the events of Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, the plot is centered around Malcolm, a leader of a human colony who wants to negotiate with the apes in order to bring power from a dam back to the human colony.

Overall, this was a brilliant sci-fi war movie with great performances, including, but not limited to,
Andy Serkis as Caesar, the leader of the apes, and Gary Oldman as another leader of the human colony who wants revenge on the apes.
