Tonight's Films: • Planet Of The Apes (2001) - An insult to its namesake, and a wholly pointless remake, 3/10. • Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes (2011) - A fresh reboot with impressive effects, 8/10. • Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes (2014) - Excellent blockbuster, and the best "Apes", 10/10. • War For The Planet Of The Apes (2017) - Thrilling example of why this trilogy is 'together, strong', 9/10.

Episode #204: Lake Placid After an unplanned break, Jon is back to reviewing crappy monster films; specifically the "Lake Placid" series -- the 1999 original penned by Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley; the ill-advised sequel "Lake Placid 2"; the slightly redeemable "Lake Placid 3" that introduced regular Yancy Butler; the incorrectly titled "Lake Placid: The Final Chapter"; and the so-called crossover with another terrible series, "Lake Placid Vs. Anaconda".
Tonight's Films: • Lake Placid (1999) - Pittance of non-ironically enjoyable moments prevent disappointment, 4/10. • Lake Placid 2 (2007) - Dumb, derivative, and decidedly uninteresting, 2/10. • Lake Placid 3 (2010) - Embarrassingly formulaic guilty pleasure, 3/10. • Lake Placid: The Final Chapter (2012) - Inoffensive TV monster experience, 3/10. • Lake Placid Vs. Anaconda (2015) - Isn't satisfying as it ought to be - but it's still better than it needs to be, 3/10.

There were a few shot of Kirkman just outside the frame, or edited too short that I didn't include in this montage for artistic purposes - but with those 3 or 4 clips included, there are 76 on-screen instances of Kirkman taking off his glasses from season 1 of "Designated Survivor". And I had fun collecting them all for this video! Please share it around, thanks!

Episode #196: Horror IV: Dracula (Season 8 Premiere) To kick off the eighth season of Movie Night, Jon takes another look at horror films, specifically ones about Bram Stoker's famous blood-sucking vampire, Count Dracula; the earliest surviving film adaption of Stoker's original gothic novel, "Nosferatu" from 1922; Universal's iconic version starring Bela Lugosi titled "Dracula"; the Peter Cushing / Christopher Lee pairing in Hammer Film's "Horror Of Dracula"; Werner Herzog's avant-garde remake, "Nosferatu The Vampyre", and Francis Ford Coppola's showy and sexy update, "Bram Stoker's Dracula" - starring Gary Oldman and Keanu Reeves.
Tonight's Films: • Nosferatu (1922) - Superbly influential classic with memorable images, 7/10. • Dracula (1931) - Isn't as enjoyable as its lofty reputation would suggest, 5/10. • Horror Of Dracula (1958) - Serviceable and fascinating vampire procedural, 6/10. • Nosferatu The Vampyre (1979) - Overly indulgent and largely unnecessary, 3/10. • Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) - Provocative and inventive, but decidedly inconsistent, 7/10.
Review Next Episode's Films: • Interview Interview With The Vampire (1994) • From Dusk Till Dawn (1996) • Blade (1998) • Van Helsing (2004) • What We Do In The Shadows (2015)

Episode #195: Ouija Duology (Season 7 Finale) In the final episode of the sporadically scheduled seventh-season, Jon reviews the (first?) two films in the "Ouija" duology - a newer, low-budget supernatural horror franchise focused around the titular board game, and the evil spirits it conjurers. This includes a rare early-review for the upcoming "Ouija: Origin Of Evil".
Tonight's Films: • Ouija (2014) - Simple and familiar, but it occasionally spooks, 3/10. • Ouija: Origin Of Evil (2016) - Provides unsettling performances in a familiar package, 7/10.

Episode #193: Star Trek II - The Next Generation Admiral Movie Feuds has ordered Jon to review the "Next Generation" Star Trek films, so it part two of this series, we review 1994's baton-passing adventure, "Star Trek: Generations" co-starring William Shatner; the time-travel Borg-focused "Star Trek: First Contact", the slower and lighter "Star Trek: Insurrection", and lastly, the worst-performing film of the entire series, "Star Trek: Nemesis" with Tom Hardy as the evil clone. All four films feature Patrick Stewart, Jonathan Frakes, Brent Spiner, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Gates McFadden, and Marina Sirtis as the crew of the Starship Enterprise.
Tonight's Films: • Star Trek: Generations (1994) - Promising and exciting, but disappoints due to its many mistakes, 6/10. • Star Trek: First Contact (1996) - Smart and exciting action with authentic characters, 9/10. • Star Trek: Insurrection (1998) - An easy-going adventure without a compelling narrative, 5/10. • Star Trek: Nemesis (2002) - Excellent action, but remains decidedly unambitious, 6/10.

Tonight's Films: • Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979) - Over-stuffed bore, despite its wonderful imagery and music, 4/10. • Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) - Thrilling duel that single-handedly saved the franchise, 9/10. • Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) - Inconsistent blend of operatic moments and emotions, 6/10. • Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) - Admittedly silly experience for all audiences, 7/10. • Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989) - Scattershot and uneven experience without much action, 5/10. • Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991) - Fascinating allegories serve as a great farewell, 8/10.
