Why 'Men In Black 3' Was Difficult For Rick Baker
22 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
I met Rick Baker -- winner of seven Academy Awards for Best Makeup -- at the Museum of Moving Image in Queens, New York. It was fitting location for the interview considering Baker's illustrious career: At the museum, Baker was roped off, with an empty stool next to him, like he was his own display. Actually, if Baker were up for it, perhaps he should be his own display -- a constant reminder of movie-making magic, before computer-generated effects made everything too easy. Or, as Baker calls it, too "sloppy." Thankfully for all of us, Baker is still too busy to be considered a museum piece.
Baker, whose latest work can be seen in "Men in Black 3," is a pretty candid guy. (And, yes, he's earned the right to be.) Here, we discuss the joys and tribulations working on "Men in Black 3" -- a film with a script »

Men in Black 3
29 May 2012 8:00 AM, PDT | newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news »
Men in Black III is remarkably better than it should be. It is a “threequel” in a sci-fi buddy cop franchise that includes a time travel conceit and a partner switch. It comes ten years after a panned sequel that involved amnesia. (Or maybe you forgot?) And, for what it’s worth, Miiib is also being hailed as Will Smith’s return to the prime summer season, four years after Hancock.
Enthusiastic headlines read “Will Smith is back in black!” after years of wondering if he still had “it.” As if, over the short hiatus, Smith could ever lose it; that inimitable set of qualities he possesses that drives his work and makes the world adore him (and Ukranian journalists want to kiss him). He is charismatic, talented enough to make it look effortless, and, most importantly, he is consistent, bringing the same success and animated energy (“Big Willie Style »

Review by LondonFilmFan
Stars: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Jemaine Clement, Emma Thompson | Written by Etan Cohen | Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld
Ten years on from the lacklustre sequel, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones return to the black suits and sunglasses for Men in Black 3. Regardless of the quality of the series’ follow-ups, at least fans have been spared ridiculous titles (2 Men 2 Black, M3n In 3lack?). Fortunately, this time around director Barry Sonnenfeld has put together a fun popcorn flick that contains some great sequences and laughs, even if it is entirely devoid of logic.
While the focus in MIB3 is still on fighting off rogue aliens, in this case the threat posed by Jemaine Clement’s Boris the Animal, an added element of time travel is clumsily introduced. The idea is that Agent J (Smith) must travel back in time to »

Will Smith/Men In Black 3 Box Office: Why So Disappointing?
28 May 2012 7:25 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
MIB3: Will Smith, Men in Black 3 Will Smith / Tommy Lee Jones’ Men In Black 3 Box Office: Badly Trails Men In Black, Men In Black II Why the underwhelming (estimated) Men in Black 3 opening-weekend performance at the domestic box-office? Barry Sonnenfeld’s film has an acceptable 73% approval rating among Rotten Tomatoes‘ top critics (with a so-so average rating of 6.3/10). In any case, movies such as Men in Black 3 are review-proof because people who go to big action / horror / trademarked movies / franchises on the first weekend usually don’t bother reading reviews. What then? Well, as mentioned in a previous article, one possibility is that Will Smith hasn’t made a movie in four years. And Smith’s pre-MIB3 release, the Gabriele Muccino-directed $55m-budgeted Seven Pounds, was a major box-office disappointment, grossing only $69.95m in North America. (Internationally, Seven Pounds performed better — though without reaching blockbuster status: $98.21m. »

Men in Black III – review
28 May 2012 5:26 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
One of the funniest movies of the 1990s, the first Men in Black was a frightening, intriguing variation on vampire-chasing, ghost-busting comedies, starring Tommy Lee Jones as Agent K, a senior operative of a top-secret government agency that monitors the activities of extraterrestrial aliens. "At any one time there are 1,500 aliens on Earth," he tells his new sidekick, Agent J (Will Smith), adding, "Most of them are here in Manhattan." Seeing it was about as refreshing and surprising as attending the opening of the first ever McDonald's. The disappointing 2002 sequel, Men in Black II, was a painful affair, about as much fun as eating your 500th Big Mac.
Now after a 10-year gap, Jones and Smith reprise their double act of taciturn, imperturbable K and fast-talking, streetwise J in the 3D Men in Black III. Etan Cohen (an Israeli-born screenwriter) has turned in a screenplay that takes the franchise in another direction, »

Movie Review - Men in Black III (2012)
28 May 2012 1:14 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Men in Black III, 2012.
Directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.
Starring Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Jemaine Clement, Emma Thompson, Alice Eve, Michael Stuhlbarg and Nicole Scherzinger.
Synopsis:
When Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) disappears, Agent J (Will Smith) has to travel back in time to the 1960s, where he teams up with a young K (Josh Brolin) in order to prevent history from being changed.
Sequels made years after the original can be hit and miss in terms of quality. For every The Color of Money, there is a Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, for every The Godfather: Part III there is a Basic Instinct 2. With a budget of $215m, an unfinished script when the film began production and some really terrible trailers and poster campaigns, Men in Black III looked like it was going to fail miserably as yet another needlessly belated sequel created just to fill »

Mark Julian Reviews Men In Black III
27 May 2012 12:32 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
Continuing the current Hollywood trend of “threequels” that no one asked for, comes the follow up to 2002’s Men In Black II. This is arguably, the first threat to dethrone Marvel’s The Avengers from the top of the box office and I can safely report that it’s deserving of the achievement. While The Avengers requires minor plot restitution, the plot of Mib III requires a modicum more of mental massaging. Still, that’s almost to be expected when you’re dealing with a film revolving around time travel. There are some paradoxes in this film that would simply make your mind melt if you thought about them too hard. But luckily for the movie audience, the film is asking you to do the exact opposite of that. The movie centers around the time-travel threat posed by badass alien Boris The Animal, portrayed by Jemaine Clement who »
New ‘Men In Black 3′ Movie Delivered Good Comedy,Action,Suspense & More

New 'Men In Black 3' movie delivered good comedy,action,suspense & more. Columbia Pictures (Sony) released their new action/sci-fi flick "Men In Black 3" into theaters this weekend. I just watched it,and thought it was pretty good as Agent J took a trip back in time to correct a Earth threatening event. The movie stars: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Jemaine Clement, Emma Thompson, Nicole Scherzinger, Alice Eve,and Michael Stuhlbarg. In the new flick, Agent J (Will Smith) and Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) are still fighting evil,alien, crime. Meanwhile,a very dangerous criminal named Boris the Animal escapes from a space prison with the help of his very hot girlfriend,played by Nicole Scherzinger. After that, he returns to Earth to give J and K a crapload of trouble before jumping back through time to kill Agent K during an event »

Box Office: Men In Black 3 Way Behind Men In Black, MIB2
26 May 2012 5:00 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Men in Black 3: Josh Brolin, Will Smith Starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, Men in Black III opened with solid though hardly outstanding figures at the North American box office on Friday. Directed by Men in Black / Men in Black II‘s Barry Sonnenfeld, the action / comedy / sci-fier will undoubtedly be this four-day weekend’s top-grossing movie — which means that after three weekends on top, The Avengers‘ reign at the domestic box office is over. But there’s no denying that MIB3‘s Friday performance fell below expectations, especially for a 3D movie budgeted at somewhere between $225m-$300m. Men in Black 3 collected $18m (including $1.55m from Thursday midnight screenings) at 4,248 theaters according to studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. Bom’s Ray Subers predicts that Men in Black 3 will gross at least $70m — perhaps even reaching $80m — over the four-day weekend. Box-office prognosticators »

Men in Black 3: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones The summer season at the North American box office isn’t exactly opening with a bang. Men in Black III debuted with hardly outstanding figures in the Us/Canada on Friday. Directed by Men in Black / Men in Black II‘s Barry Sonnenfeld, and starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, the action / comedy / sci-fier will undoubtedly be this weekend’s top-grossing movie — which means that after three weekends on top, The Avengers‘ reign at the domestic box office has ended. On the other hand, there’s no denying that MIB3‘s Friday performance fell below expectations, especially for a 3D movie budgeted at somewhere between $225m-$300m. Men in Black 3 collected $18m-$20m (including $1.55m from Thursday midnight screenings) at 4,248 theaters on Friday according to early, rough estimates found at Deadline.com.

Men in Black 3 Review: Surprisingly Solid Threequel
26 May 2012 12:11 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
(Our second review of Men in Black 3 after Adam Rayner’s earlier in the week)
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
How many good “threequels” in a film series can people name? How about when the second film was already a turkey? What about when production reports suggested that the third film was partly shot without a completed script? The deck seems stacked against the cast and crew of Men in Black 3, yet with plenty to prove, Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones and director Barry Sonnenfeld mostly deliver the goods in this undeniably sketchy yet enjoyable seat-of-your-pants follow-up.
Going the time travel route for part three, MIB3 begins as Agent J (Smith) wakes up one day to find that his long-time partner, K (Jones) has apparently been dead for the last forty years. With the help of Agent O (Emma Thompson) – who fills in as Chief for the now-departed Agent »

As a movie reviewer, you try to set aside any preconceived thoughts you might have when you sit down to watch a film — even when said film has had a tumultuous path to the multiplex and seems preordained to be terrible. But, hey, you're only human. Still, you do your best.
No recent movie has had as tumultuous a path to the multiplex as Men in Black 3. And I admit, I went in thinking it was going to suck hard. (Hey, I'm only human.) But I'm happy, and somewhat amazed, to report I was wrong. Men in Black 3 might not be perfect, but it's a whole lot better than it has any right to be. In fact, it's pretty good...and, believe it or not, »

Now that you've seen it, what did you think? They are back... in time. Its been a good 10 years since we last saw Agent J & K, but they're both back in another sci-fi adventure involving the secret organization that polices alien activity on Earth - the Men in Black. Sony Pictures is opening MIB3 in theaters today, with Will Smith back as Agent J, Tommy Lee Jones as K, and introducing Josh Brolin as a young K, plus Jemaine Clement as the villain Boris. So how is this one? Better than the first, the second, or worse overall? If you've seen it, leave a comment below with your thoughts on Barry Sonnenfeld's Men in Black 3.

Men in Black 3 Review

Men in Black 3 Directed by: Barry Sonnenfeld Written by: Etan Cohen, David Koepp, Jeff Nathanson, Michael Soccio (screenplay), Lowell Cunningham (comic) Starring: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, Jemaine Clement, Emma Thompson, Michael Stuhlbarg, Alice Eve, Bill Hader It's hard to believe that it's been a decade now since we last heard from Agents J and K. Although it's safe to assume that Earth still needs protecting from alien scum, after Men in Black 2 no one had been particularly eager to find out what else they had been up to. However, with Sony in desperate need of another summer blockbuster, we all knew it was only a matter of time before a third installment would be willed into existence. So now here it is: Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back, along with director Barry Sonnenfeld, but are they all merely going through the motions? With »

Today, the third Men in Black movie hits theaters. Barry Sonnenfeld returns as director, and the story finds Will Smith’s Agent J traveling back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones’ Agent K. Josh Brolin plays a younger version of Jones’ character, and does an incredible job; you’ll be totally convinced you’re watching a young Tommy Lee Jones. During my interview with Brolin, we talked about his awesome performance, his first day on set, favorite movies, Fahrenheit 451, and future projects like Ruben Fleischer's Gangster Squad, Jason Reitman's Labor Day, Spike Lee's Oldboy, and Hunchback of Notre Dame. Hit the jump to watch the interview. Men in Black 3 also stars Jemaine Clement, Alice Eve, and Emma Thompson.
