"The good guys dress in black, remember that..."
Yes, Will Smith, we remember that, but did you know that the bad guys dress in yellow and have claw-tipped tentacles bursting from their palms? Hmm? We do, thanks to the new still images from director Barry Sonnenfeld's Men in Black III (MIB3) that have been released online. While there's not a lot that seems designed to remind us of what we loved about the original Men in Black movies: the odd couple relationship between curmudgeonly old Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) and his jiggy partner, Agent J (Smith), and the crazy hardware they use when wrangling the latest wackadoo alien-gone-wild.
In MIB3, the offending alien (Jemaine Clement) has more than just a little mayhem on his mind, time-tripping back to the '60s to kill young K (Josh Brolin) in the hopes of preventing the secret alien watchdog group from stopping his plans in the present. We're not sure why the elder K doesn't accompany J back in time to help save his younger self, but there's probably some sort of good explanation (guess we better rewatch Back to the Future II to brush up on the downsides of meeting yourself in another time).

The last time Agent J (Will Smith) had to save his friend and mentor, Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones), it was merely from living a life of quiet obscurity as a neuralyzed civilian postmaster in a small town in Massuchesetts in Men in Black II. In the upcoming sequel, Men in Black III, the stakes are much higher, with both K's life and the very existence of the MIB organization on the line, requiring J to travel back in time to save the day.
We've already seen several images of what K looks like back in 1969 — he looks just like Josh Brolin! — and now, thanks to Russian entertainment site StarkIndustries.ru, we have a chance to see what the aliens looked like back then, as well (apparently, B movies of the '50s and '60s got it right). We also get to see a slightly more alien-looking Jemaine Clement as the villainous Yaz.

Considering how many "spy" photos leaked out from the sets of such "top secret" productions as The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and The Amazing Spider-Man last year, it's kind of surprising how few we've seen from director Barry Sonnenfeld's Men in Black III (MIB3). (Or, maybe it's not surprising, considering the movie centers around a secret organization that monitors and suppresses alien activity on Earth — perhaps we've all been "neuralyzed.") Josh Brolin was spotted decked out as young Agent K, the character Tommy Lee Jones plays in the present, and we've seen a handful of action shots of Will Smith doing his thing as Agent J, but that was about it until the NZHerald published online a new set photo showing Kiwi actor Jemaine Clement dressed up as a "creepy but charming" biker, a disguise his character wears to hide his true alien form.

Two hilarious new clips are out for director Jay Roach's (Meet the Fockers) latest comedy, Dinner for Schmucks. A remake of the French movie The Dinner Game, Schmucks follows Tim Wagner (Paul Rudd), a young executive who hopes to rise in the ranks by winning his boss' monthly dinner party contest, where the winner is the executive who brings the biggest loser with him as his dinner guest. Tim thinks he has found the perfect "schmuck" in sad-sack IRS agent Barry (Steve Carell) and attempts to earn his friendship so that Barry will accompany him to the party.

Sony has officially announced that Jemaine Clement will be joining Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones for the third installment of Men in Black. He will be playing the alien antagonist Yaz. There is no word yet as to his villainous intent, except that he'll be placing the planet in peril once again. This announcement wraps up the main cast nicely and is great news for the franchise, which is in dire need of a resurrection after a less than stellar MIB 2.

The Hesses have spent their short career making eccentric comedies like Napolean Dynamite, Nacho Libre, and the upcoming Gentlemen Broncos, which opens in limited release today. The movie follows a teenager (Michael Angarano) who finds that his novel has been plagiarized by a legendary novelist (Jemaine Clement). While Jared usually directs, the married duo typically co-write the movies, bringing elements of their family and home life into the scripts. Jared told Collider that Gentlemen Broncos is so personal, even the title is taken from his childhood.
The title of the film comes from my mom, who had this really weird parenting book when I was growing up. I have five younger brothers, and it was this book, called So You Want to Raise a Boy?, written in the 1950s. There's a chapter in there where it talks about the age from 16 to 17 and the author referred to it as the gentlemen bronco phase of life, where teenage boys like to take their shirts off and mow the lawn.
Jennifer Coolidge plays Angarano's mother, who makes nightgowns and popcorn balls. Jared told Movieline that, as outrageous as it sounds, the character is based on his own mother.
The mother character in the film is based on my mother and parts of [Jerusha's] mom. My mom worked for a modest nightgown company growing up, and she also had a really great popcorn ball recipe. Her company was called Christmas's Country Corn. My mom's name is Christmas. So my brothers and I would often go with her to boutiques to sell her popcorn balls. So that's something very real.
Not that popcorn balls are the weirdest thing in Gentlemen Broncos — the movie has Sam Rockwell playing an interstellar cowboy who rides battle stags, which are deer armed with missiles. Still, that may not hold off the raised eyebrows from their family. "When our mom saw Napoleon for the first time," said Jared, "she was like, 'Well, that was a lot of embarrassing family material.'" However, both Hesses agree that their movie isn't about the quirky characters but about "underdogs" in general and "the idea of an outsider with big dreams trying to achieve what he wants to do in life, with limited social skills or means."
Sounds like something Napoleon fans can get behind.
