"Here come the Men in Black..."

again.

2012 threequel (after 2002's 'Men in Black II') which, here, sees Will Smith's Agent J time-travelling back to the late 1960s and teaming up with a younger version of Agent K (as portrayed, pretty much spot on, by Josh Brolin) after an alien assassin escaped from a max security prison on the moon and alters the past.

For some reason - perhaps because the 'older' Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) only has about 15, 20 or so minutes of screen time) this just doesn't hold the viewers (or, at least, mine!) attention as much as those 2 previous entries, with very little made of the fish-out-of-water aspect of having the 21st century coloured Agent J back in a time when his people were not treated very well at all (and I'm trying to be respectful here).

This was a pretty tense, heart in your mouth, read on The Pigeonhole.

Heather is released from prison after serving half of her sentence for murdering her MP husband. The thing is, she’s adamant she didn’t do it. She wants to find the real murderer, so that she can get her sons back and clear her name.

I had a lot of trust issues whilst reading this. Honestly, I didn’t trust a single person, whether they were being helpful or not. In fact, I was guessing who could really be responsible for Heather’s husband’s death right up to the end.

I loved Heather’s determination even (or especially) when she was in great danger - which was quite often.

I seem to be one of the last people to discover T.M. Logan, which is both ridiculous and fortunate. At least I have a decent back list to read!

An excellent, emotional ride lead by a terrific Teyana Taylor
Inez (Teyana Taylor), fresh out of prison, takes her son from the foster home. The film follows their lives for over a decade as they strive to live a happy family life in the Harlem neighborhood of New York.

The acting is what carries the film the most. Everyone is fantastic. Grade-A performances.

The simple sets are well designed, and watching as their home evolves provides a brilliant layer to this film.

The brief moments of background narration showcasing the changing city as we progress through time was brilliant.

I only minus one star because I felt that the ending wasn't very satisfying, like the Director couldn't decide on whether the finale should be optimistic or not, so they opted for an anti-ending.

But I definitely recommend everyone give A Thousand and One a watch.
