Men in Black 3 Movie Review

Rating: 4 Stars out of 5.

Did I just give Men in Black III the same rating I gave The Dark Knight Rises?  Yes, yes I did.  Why?  Because I had a rollicking good time.

The movie starts out with Boris the Animal, a big time galactic criminal who has been imprisoned on our Moon.  It's a good place to hold a bad dude who's obsessed with destroying our planet, right?  Impossible place to excape from . . . until now.  He escapes and is out for revenge (enter important plot point.)

Cut to established characters Agent J and Agent K (Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, respectfully.)  We learn that their communication skills have not improved whatsoever.  Agent K insist that he doesn't want to talk about his past, well, frankly, he doesn't want to talk at all.  Agent J is annoyed by this, and ties to get K to share the smallest information.

Soon it is discovered that Boris is on Earth, and the man he is out to destroy is Agent K, and to do so Boris must go back in time, with Agent J fallowing shortly behind to protect the world from alien invasion.

When in the past we meet a young Agent K (played brilliantly by Josh Brolin) and Agent J gets to see a whole new side of his long time partner. What made him change?  And why isn't he with that girl K keeps flirting with?  That's some of the questions the movie starts to uncover, along with many other details I wont mention.

Honesntly, I never saw the second movie.  My brothers came home from the film and told me not to waste my time, and I didn't.  Time and money are precious after all.  But I'm so glad I saw this movie.  I laughed a whole lot, the jokes were pretty good, and I couldn't help but keep smiling.

Some other notable favorites were the older and younger Agent O played by Emma Thompson and Alice Eve.  (I love Emma as an Actress.)  And I love the addition of the character Griffin, played by Michael Stuhlbarg.  He is an alien with the ability to see many plausibilities and realities at once.  Awesome.

Men in Black III hasn't performed as well domestically at home as the first Men in Black, but overall MIB III has grossed more then the first two installments in its Worldwide World gross, currently more then $620 Million.  Not shabby at all.        

Oh!  And below is a picture of what the screen looks like after the film brakes and burns up.  It's the first time I've ever experienced it!  Thankfully it happened during the previews and not during the movie.  That would have been sad.

Have a great day!

Pioneer Day/Spanish Fork Fiesta Day Parade

Last month my Dad told my brother Steven and I what he wanted for Father's Day, and that he didn't want anything else; He wanted us to get our Ham radio licenses.  (Of course I already bought his gift, which was a vintage looking Captain America comic themed lunch box.) When I was a kid I wanted a license, but back then you had to learn morse code; no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't learn it.  A few years ago this requirement changed.  My Dad wanted us to get the license so we can help at events.  The local ARES group works the parades, races, and events so everyone can practice communication, so that during an emergency our Ham radios can be used to help with communication.  The ARES and RACES groups proved that all this training they do isn't in vain when they volunteered their time during the fires this past Summer. I was given the opportunity to help with the Spanish Fork Parade and practice my ham radio skills.  Back to the parade!

The group below set the pace of the Spanish Fork Fiesta Parade.  They fired a loud cannon and then fired weapons, giving the kids next to me quite a shock.    

Proof we're in Spanish Fork!!

More fun Parade entries I enjoyed.

All the Utah County Queens showed up for the festivities.  Below, on my most favorite float in the parade, is Miss Pleasant Grove with her attendants.  Also shown below is Miss Payson, Miss Nephi, and Miss Provo. 

Below is Mater!!  Unfortunately he broke down and I had the opportunity to make sure the lawn mower got off the street, and then report to Net Central what had happened.  

Another huge task we had was keeping the kids safe.  A lot of the groups throw candy to the kids, but the candy doesn't always make it to them, so the kids run into the street, which is dangerous.  A year or two ago a boy ran to the middle of the road; thankfully the driver of the float noticed and stopped within 5 feet.

Me in my gear after the parade.  It was awesome!  Steven and my Dad helped find lost children in their sections.  Unfortunately after the parade I found out that my sound mike was too close to my mouth which caused my voice to be muffled.  I would have liked to know this sooner, but that's the point of these exercises.  It's better to learn these problems during an event instead of during an emergency when lives are in danger.

Have a great day!!
