REEL TIME: The weekend's new movie reviews

A roundup of City Paper's new movie reviews, from least to highest graded.

MEN IN BLACK 3 [ C- ] It’s been ten years since the last Men in Black film hit screens, just about enough time in the summer popcorn environment (and in the absence of the alien hunters’ memory-erasing doohickey) for audiences to forget just how wretched the last sequel was. This second sequel feels like a regrouping on Will Smith’s part, a return to a popular role after a four-year absence following the audacious suicide-by-jellyfish misfire Seven Pounds. He apparently hasn’t shaken his loftier dramatic ambitions, however, as the series takes an unexpected and ill-advised turn towards pathos. Read the rest of Shaun Brady's review. (Pearl, Rave, UA Riverview, UA Grant)
