7 Films in the Running For Best Make-Up Oscar: Who Got Snubbed?

Jacob Hall — Sun, 16 Dec 2012 18:28:45 +0000

Trying to keep up with whatever the heck the Oscars are doing every year is a full time job for many entertainment journalists, mainly because of the organization's labyrinthine rules and often bizarre nomination process. In the case of some categories, all of the potential nominees are whittled down to a shorter list of potential nominees and then, from that list, the final nominations are decided. This is the case with the Best Make-Up Academy Award and the list of seven finalists has been revealed.

New to DVD and Blu-ray: 'Men in Black 3,' Family Friendly Scares and 'Lawless'

James Rocchi — Tue, 27 Nov 2012 14:30:51 +0000

New on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming this week, summertime action, a horror-comedy for kids, some bootlegging with bruising action, and creepy scares. … 'Men in Black 3' Blu-ray/DVD With Tommy Lee Jones reportedly dragging his heels to even do the film and not much (if any) of the script done before filming, it's [...]

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Madagascar 3′ vs 'Prometheus'

Jacob Hall — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:44:08 +0000

It's difficult to imagine two more different films going head-to-head at the box office. However, by appealing to completely different audiences, 'Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted' and 'Prometheus' both managed to emerge from the weekend as big winners, making this the first weekend in months where two new major releases opened strong.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Snow White and the Huntsman' Conquers

Jacob Hall — Sun, 03 Jun 2012 19:22:13 +0000

The box office can be a funny thing. Last weekend, 'Men in Black 3' made $55 million and was considered a disappointment. This weekend, 'Snow White and the Huntsman' pulled in $56 million and it's considered a roaring success. As bizarre as that sounds, it all makes sense when you look at the details.

Box Office Update: 'Moonrise Kingdom' Breaks Records

Jacob Hall — Mon, 28 May 2012 19:20:04 +0000

In yesterday's Box Office Report, we brought you the news of 'Men in Black 3's disappointing weekend gross and wondered if a Memorial Day audience would rescue it. Well...no. It's looking like Will Smith's grand return has officially landed with a thud. Sure, $70 million across four days may sound like a lot, but it's not, especially for a film that cost $230 million before the advertising costs.

While 'Men in Black 3' underperformed, a small film from a critically adored filmmaker made a special kind of splash. In fact, Wes Anderson's 'Moonrise Kingdom' broke a box office record.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Men in Black 3′ Takes a Dive

Jacob Hall — Sun, 27 May 2012 18:26:07 +0000

It took four weeks for another film to dethrone 'The Avengers' from the top of the box office, but that dethroning occurred with a whimper, not a battle cry. 'Men in Black 3' arrived on the scene and proved that advance hype and high tracking are abstract concepts that don't always reflect reality. $55 million isn't an opening that'll have executives committing seppuku, but for a film that was expected to open to north of $80 million, it's a definitely a solid kick in the groin (metaphorically speaking, of course).

Three Cool Featurettes Explore the VFX of 'Men in Black 3′

Jacob Hall — Sat, 26 May 2012 14:36:12 +0000

One of the best things about the marketing for 'Men in Black 3' has been its emphasis on the actual craft that went into making the movie, not just a bunch of talking heads telling you to go see it. Last week, they released that terrific featurette highlighting the work of make-up guru Rick Baker. Now you can take a pretty deep look at the creation of the visual effects for several key sequences.

Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff Reunite to Perform Classics at 'Men in Black 3′ Premiere

Mike Sampson — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:43:32 +0000

With 'Men in Black 3' not exactly impressing critics, it seems like Will Smith's best days may be behind him. And judging by the reaction at the 'Men in Black 3' premiere after party, it could be way behind him.

The crowd at the party went nuts when Smith took the stage with his former partner DJ Jazzy Jeff for an impromptu concert that included some classic jams.

Finish These Trilogies: 10 Franchises Stuck at Part 2 That Deserve a Sequel

Sean O'Connell — Wed, 23 May 2012 11:42:34 +0000

Five years separated ‘Men In Black’ from its immediate sequel. A full 10 years separate ‘Men In Black 2’ from this weekend’s ‘Men In Black 3.’ Basically, if you’re a fan of a once-defunct sequel, there’s always hope for another sequel, no matter how much time has passed.

With that in mind, we collected the 10 film franch

'Men In Black' Director Barry Sonnenfeld In Talks For a Comic Book Film?

Sean O'Connell — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:36:38 +0000

The world needs more comic-book properties like it needs a hole in the head. But with ‘The Avengers’ setting box office records at a staggering pace, you know the industry’s going to crank out more and more, so it’s wise to tap filmmakers like ‘Men In Black’ helmer Barry Sonnenfeld to potentially guide a lucrative comic-book franchise.

'Men in Black 3′ Review

Matt Singer — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:35:43 +0000

Long before Will Smith uses a sci-fi doohickey to travel back to 1969, time already seems out of whack in 'Men in Black 3.' The film supposedly takes place in 2012, 14 years after Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) first recruited Agent J (Smith) into the secret order of the world's well-dressed space cops. But the film looks like it takes place in 1997, from the creature and set design, right down to the wildly dated 'Jerry Maguire' jokes. In other words, 'Men in Black 3' has been brewing for a long time -- but very little of it feels ready for public consumption, even after all those years of development.

Six Minutes of 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Are Going to be Attached to IMAX Screenings of 'Men in Black 3′

Damon Houx — Tue, 22 May 2012 02:54:19 +0000

It's surprising that it's taken this long for a studio to capitalize on the success 'The Dark Knight Rises' (and 'Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol') had with its opening sequence IMAX preview. But now 'Men in Black 3' will have six minutes of 'The Amazing Spider-Man' in front of its IMAX screenings. Win-win.

Will Smith Performs the 'Fresh Prince' Theme on BBC

Jacob Hall — Sun, 20 May 2012 01:13:12 +0000

Will Smith may be the biggest movie star in the world, but his millions of fans will never let him forget his humble beginnings as the star of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.' While in England to promote the release of 'Men in Black 3,' Smith was coerced into performing the show's iconic theme song on 'The Graham Norton Show.' And yeah, it's kind of awesome.

Watch: Rick Baker's 'Men in Black 3′ Aliens Look Amazing

'Men In Black 3′ Saves The Universe One Ice Cream Flavor At A Time

Jacob Hall — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 18:15:39 +0000

So much internet ink has been spilled over 'The Avengers' and 'The Dark Knight Rises' that it's easy to forget that there are plenty of other expensive blockbusters just around the corner. Consider these international posters for 'Men in Black 3' and 'Snow White and the Huntsman' a friendly nudge from your local movie studio, a reminder that yes, there are movies you should see this summer that don't star Iron Man or Batman.

Surprise! Tommy Lee Jones Doesn't Care For Josh Brolin's Impression

Sean O'Connell — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 15:39:46 +0000

We haven’t seen much of Josh Brolin’s Tommy Lee Jones impersonation for the upcoming ‘Men In Black 3,’ but the brief snippet at the end of the full trailer was spot on. He nails Jones’ laconic line delivery. And almost everyone who has commented on Brolin’s deadpan take said that they love it. I say “almost” everyone because Jones has weighed in. And he doesn’t seem to care for it.

Take a Good Look at the Aliens in 'Men in Black 3′

Britt Hayes — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 22:53:00 +0000

While Josh Brolin playing a younger version of Tommy Lee Jones is certainly a big draw for this summer’s ‘Men in Black 3,’ we’ve seen little proof of alien life in the teasers and photos… Until now. Entertainment Weekly heard your pleas, internet, and they’ve come to the rescue with several photos showing off the [...]

Sean O'Connell — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 17:56:23 +0000

Here’s something interesting. Behind-the-scenes images from this summer’s ‘Men In Black 3,’ teasing make-up legend Rick Baker and some of his extraterrestrial creations for the sequel, have just popped up online. It reminds us that while Will Smith is the celebrity machine that powers this 15-year-old franchise, many ticket buyers show up to see the bizarre alien monsters created by Baker, a “celebrity” in his own right.

Will Smith Steps Aside, Lets Pitbull Handle 'Men in Black 3′ Theme Song

Don Kaye — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 21:04:52 +0000

Will Smith has handled the theme songs for the past two ‘Men in Black’ movies, but that’s all changing on ‘Men in Black 3.’ Smith has passed the torch to Pitbull, who will release his slice of ‘MiB’ history far in advance of the new movie itself. According to Billboard, the rap superstar will issue [...]

The latest 'Men in Black 3' trailer has premiered and with it comes the assurance that we won't miss Tommy Lee Jones too much because Josh Brolin actually took a lot of notes in the two films they were in together, and he does one hell of a Jones impression.
