Review-Men in Black 3

Men in Black 3 is the latest installment of the movie franchise about aliens on Earth starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones.  Agent J(Smith) is still trying to get his partner, Agent K(Jones), to loosen up and share stuff with him. K has a secrets that he keeps lock up tight. When a mysterious alien from K's past named Boris the Animal(Jemaine Clement,looking like Randy "Macho Man" Savage) resurfaces, K goes missing. J has to jump back in time to save his partner and the world. The movie starts off a little slow but picks up after about ten minutes. Men in Black 3 is a very good film that delivers the action and laughs like the first movie had. All the pieces work in the film to make this something you could watch over and over again. Josh Brolin does a fantastic job as the young K, which is essential to make the film work. Michael Stuhlbarg gives a good performance as Griffin, an alien that can see multiple timelines in the future and is key to the plan to save the world. The movie also features Emma Thompson as Agent O, an agent with a past connection with K.

My grade: 8.5 out of ten.   

Review-The Avengers

Welcome to the summer movie season! Here to usher it in is The Avengers, a movie crossover of epic proportions. This is takes the characters of Marvel's most recently successful movies (Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow, Hawkeye) and put them together as a superhero team.  They have been assembled (showing my geek there) together to stop Loki (Tom Hiddleston) from taking over the Earth. He has stolen a very powerful weapon from the government agency called S.H.I.E.L.D and its director, Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson). Loki plans to have his kingdom down on Earth, no matter what it takes. Each superhero involved has their strengths and weaknesses to deal with along the way too. I would say that The Avengers is the best superhero team movie that I've seen throughout the years. It gives you laughter, excitement and everything that you want in an action film. It will leave on the edge of your seats and wanting more at the end. If you like comics, the movies and/or really good action films, you should definitely check this out. Just like the other films, you need to stay after the credits. These are two particular things this time that come up.
