Men in Black 3…

… was a long time in coming, but worth the wait to learn what we learn about  J and K.  Somehow the  movie realizes we’ve aged with it,  and J and K  seem timeless though the time continuum  shifts while   the special effects – although some with dizzying heights, were spot on while combined with the authentic  60’s car scenes, attire,  and    retro parties from days gone by -  all combined  to   keep the large audience chuckling   through  many scenes.  I enjoyed this  addition to the series – it was fun and a  little heart warming.  OK for my kids when they 13 or older, and for Mom & Dad  too on family movie night if they are inclined to watched SciFi. Overall a  7 out of 10,  a good hot summer afternoon diversion.

Jackie Chan Retiring

Jackie Chan, legendary martial artist and action film star, is retiring. Chan is 58 and  says he’s too old to continue doing stunts and the world is “too violent”.

His  upcoming Chinese Zodiac, Chan’s 100th film, will be his last big action outing. He does hope to continue acting, however. He plans to take on more serious roles in future projects.

Avengers

The best movie made  from a Marvel comic book? Avengers! The Avengers kicks some serious  ass, no pun intended. This is a smashingly good movie. +10 out of 10 for  your entertainment   expense. No surprise - it killed box office records when it opened!  Good character development,  story, dialog, pace,  and enough special effects to   make you go  “Wow!”  Safe for my boys when they were 13 or older,   though Mom & Dad won’t  be as interested  if they don’t know comic books  nor like Sci Fi, but this is premiere  family entertainment you will enjoy too.
