Men In Black International - Movie Review

Where is J?

Emma Thompson is the only character from the previous Men In Black movies that make an appearance. I have to admit I was not thrilled seeing Men In Black without Smith and Jones. I wasn't sure how the movie would be with a new cast and location. Don't get me wrong, it is a great cast and was one of the only reasons I was planning to watch this movie. 

Men In Black International introduces new characters and new places but don't expect to see Agent J or Agent K. One has to wonder if they are planning to make more MIB International movies and how long will they try to milk the series by changing the cast. The movie does provide some interesting cast including Liam Neeson, Emma Thompson, Chris Hemsworth, and Tessa Thompson. Chris and Tessa have worked together on Thor Ragnarok which I believe was the best of the Thor movies.

Review

I had waited a while to watch this movie as my expectations were low. I was pleasantly surprised this movie was much better than I expected. The comic chemistry Chris and Tessa had on Thor Ragnarok comes back in this movie. The mystery in the movie is almost predictable but still enjoyable. The story is fresh and not a recycled story from the previous MIB movies which is one of the things I enjoyed about the franchise. Whether or not their is another MIB movie is still up in the air. I would not be opposed to it provided they continue to keep fresh stories.

Rating

I would rate this at least an HD movie. It is worth pickup up for less than $10. I was able to pick up my UHD copy for $10 on sale at Vudu.

Protecting Your Online Collection

 Protecting Your Collection In this time of cyber crime, you want to protect your investment of digital movies. I will be focusing this page on the primary retailers that connect with Movies Anywhere. At the time of this post, I am only aware of Google and iTunes are the only two retailers that offer secondary authentication. Technically, Amazon offers a secondary authentication with the use of a pin for digital purchases. I highly recommend you use these security feature provided by Amazon, Google, and iTunes. This provides great protection for your collection and any saved credit card information that you have with the retailer. I would not advise keeping your credit card information with a online retailer but I understand it's convenience. With that said, I will point out that users have the ability to removed their credit card information from Amazon, FandangoNow, Google, iTunes (provided you are not using Family Sharing), and Microsoft. This is convenient when one of the retai...

Avengers: Endgame - Review

Movie Review - Spoiler Free I will try to keep this a spoiler free review. First, I would like to applaud Disney/Marvel for making a movie over the 2 hour limit that most movies have kept themselves to lately. The movie would have felt rushed if it was only 2 hours. The movie starts out appropriately timed to the events of Avengers: Infinity War. The movie kept you emotional invested throughout the entire movie. There was some predictability with the story but for the most part, I was able to enjoy the ride without knowing what would happen next. This to me made the movie extremely enjoyable. We get see how the characters deal with the aftermath of the Infinity War and what their options are moving forward. Each character was given their opportunity on screen during the movie. This is obviously easier to do since there are fewer characters after the events of Infinity War. I felt that many characters had an appropriate conclusion to their stories. The movie did leave me with a couple ...

Digital Ownership

 What Is? With the digital revolution, digital media has been sweeping the world. My memory of digital media was back with iTunes in 2001. There you could download music with a touch of a button from an actual retailer vs illegally with the bonus of malware to your computer. I actually had digital music from iTunes before I had a iPod or iPhone to play it on. In 2005, Apple released their video iPod and started to "sell" digital TV and movies. I am not saying Apple was the foundation for the digital revolution but it was my first positive experience with digital media. My first digital video purchase was the unaired Aquaman TV pilot as it was the only place to get it. What does purchasing something digitally really mean though? Apple and Amazon are coming under class-action lawsuits for their digital ownership definition of "buy" an item. The lawsuit stems from the fine print where retailers cannot guarantee you own the product but merely have unlimited streaming. T...
