Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home 1986
It was a bold move to make a primarily comedic STAR TREK film, but the fourth big screen outing of the original Enterprise crew put aside the heavy drama of the previous three films and sent them on an adventure to 1986 San Francisco to bring back extinct whales to talk to a destructive alien probe that's attempting to contact them. No heavy, just pure entertainment (with a charmingly rendered social message to boot), STAR TREK IV is a bold entry into a venerable franchise, and one of its most delightful offerings.

Sightseers 2012
A British couple heads out on holiday only to discover that the people around them, whether they be rude tourists or pompous locals, are ruining all their fun, and what started as a nice romantic outing descends into violence and mayhem. A grim, pitch black comedy about two serial killers in love, and the strange glue that holds them together, SIGHTSEERS is equal turns horrifying and hilarious.

ParaNorman 2012
Absolutely fantastic animated film about a little boy who can talk to ghosts, yet finds himself the source of ridicule for everyone in town. But when an ancient curse is unleashed, he may be the only one who is able to stop it. Paying homage to classic horror, this gleefully macabre fable spins a surprisingly rich tale about warping history and the consequences of bullying. Beautifully animated & endlessly clever.

Star Trek Into Darkness 2013
I'm not sure if J.J. Abrams gets STAR TREK, or if he even cares. But this is just so, so wrong on so many levels. A tone deaf, awkwardly paced and structured film that rides the coattails of greater things that have come before. Gene Roddenberry is rolling over in his grave.
