There’s an old saying that when you’re at rock bottom you can only go up. That certainly describes the MIB series after the hugely disappointing sequel from 2002. Even after a decade, that film still leaves a bitter taste. However, at G-S-T we always root for a redeeming sequel. Did we get one? Well almost, but again, anything would fare better than MIB 2. What’s most enjoyable is that this film, and series really, is so familiar that it’s almost like no time has passed since we saw Agents J and K save the Earth for the first time way back in 1997. Here come the Men In Black *clap clap* and Agents J and…

“The CineMagic 8-Ball” – In Theaters 5/25/12
When so many movies are released each weekend and trailers often seem better than the movie itself, what should one do? In this precarious situation, we consult the The CineMagic 8-Ball (TM) to help us see through the nebulous marketing haze. Doing so just might save us all a disheartening trip to the cinema and spare us unnecessarily springing for $7 popcorn.

Sweet Trailer…'Men In Black 3' – UPDATED
For those of you who weren’t digging the teaser or the posters for MIIIB feast your eyes on the official first trailer. It’s pretty retro and based mostly in the 60’s which means the Smith/Jones chemistry we were hoping for is going to be minimal. Still Brolin does a pretty good job at channeling Jones so I think we’re all in for a treat. Enjoy! Now I may be alone in thinking this but that was the most promising thing we’ve seen yet. The scale looks bigger and I hope they deliver us a villain that is a little more menacing and threatening than MIB 1 and 2. Plus we…

Ohhh, Look…New 'Men In Black 3' Poster
I’m not sure what to call the third Men In Black. Is it MIB3, MIIIB, Men In Black 3 (cubed)? Well whatever it’s called, the name is really inconsequential as it’s not what’s going to have to make up for the let down that was MIB2. Personally I’m still reeling from that and I bet I’m probably not the only one. One thing the world could have done without was seeing such popular characters phone in what was essentially a cash grab. So after a decade without the first last only line of defense against the worst scum of the universe, Agents J and K are back for a third outing. In December we…
