'Men In Black 3' Two Jews On Film Agree It's The Best One Yet (Video)

Okay people...They are back...

Those alien fighting dudes, in their black sport jackets, white shirts, skinny ties, shooting gadgets that can wipe your memory clean, faster than you can say 'The Martians Are Coming'

Not only are they back, after a fifteen year absence, but...Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) and Agent J (Will Smith) are better than ever. And that's...

Thanks to director, Barry Sonnenfeld and the screenwriters, Etan Cohen, and David Koepp, based on the comic by Lowell Cunningham the third in the franchise 



The plot, without giving too much away, involves...time travel, a super grotesque alien known as Boris The Animal (Jermaine Clement) who can shoot ugly deadly spider like creatures from his various orifices...

A super adorable fifth dimension alien (aren't they all?) named Griffin (Michael Stulberg) who is able to see several different futures all at the same time...



Andy Warhol (Bill Hader) a younger Agent K (the wonderful Josh Brolin who does a killer imitation of Tommy Lee) Emma Thomas as the head of MIB, her younger self (Alice Eva) and all sorts of fun and at times...gross things.

On an aside...I don't think I'll eat Chinese food for a very long time.

Anyway, to summarize...Boris escapes from his maxim security prison on the moon and he's really, really pissed.  You can't blame him.  His race has been wiped out of existence, and thanks to Agent K, he's been locked up for over 40 years. Now, he wants one thing...Well maybe two or three...

Travel back in time to 1969, kill Agent K and with the help of hs peeps, invade earth.

Luckily for K, J will do anything and everything to stop this from happening.  What are partners for, right?
'Men In Black 3' shot in 3D, is exciting, super funny, and has exciting action and effects.  But what makes this film my favorite in the franchise is that the script focuses on the relationship between Agent K and Agent J and...there's a really nice reveal toward the end.

By the way' MIB3 like the first two, is filled with all kinds of important information including...All models are aliens and...Well, you just have to see this film, which opens in theatres May 25, 2012, to find out the rest.

I gave 'Men In Black 3' 4 bagels out of 5,  Check out our video to see John's bagel rating and to see him shoot a couple of aliens.

saw it....and I loved that Chinese restaurant scene. even John looks like he had a lot of fun. "Intergalactic call girl" sounds like something I would see... LOL!
