“Men in Black 3” Movie Review
– – There is one secret the universe does not know about. But to find out what that is, you have to ride a somewhat uneven MIB3 all the way to the end. At times MIB3 is funny and exciting, at times it is boring, and at times it is poignant. An escaped prisoner travels…

(Campy fun, vintage Tim Burton ending) – – Lori watched the original TV show religiously, I watched it occasionally. Going to the movies to see “Dark Shadows” was a no brainer for us.

“The Five-Year Engagement” Movie Review
(Funny, Quiet, True Life) – – Gotta say this movie was much better than I thought it was going to be.

“Journey 2 The Mysterious Island” Movie Review
(corny fun, terrific special effects) – – The special effects in this movie are awesome. I do not care for 3D in the movies (not as good as Disneyland, and too pricey), but, I am disappointed that I did not see “Journey 2 The Mysterious Island” in 3D. My guess is that it would be…

(Average “raunchy” comedy / drama) – – In high school, cool, physically gifted (but dumb), Jenko (Channing Tatum) harassed nerdly, physically weak, Schmidt (Jonah Hill).
