Tommy Lee Jones Reviews, Interviews & More
With Thanksgiving weekend just passed, it seems that the studio is slow on their roll with this weeks releases. To wit, there are no big classic titles hitting streets today, but there are a number of recent movies, including the latest Step Up film, Men in Black III, and some of the late summer films. Check it out.
When focusing on the nation's greatest president during its darkest time, a filmmaker has to tread carefully. Their work can either blow you away or turn into a dull history lesson. Luckily, Lincoln is the former. Steven Spielberg delivers what's easily one of the best movies of the year.
Based on a public radio show of the same name, A Prairie Home Companion focuses on the last night of a show that ran for 30 years in Minnesota. The characters aren't fully developed, but that their backgrounds are not fully revealed is quite fitting. As is often is the case, what people say or do doesn't matter as much as how they make you feel. A...
Though we’ve seen a few leaked and unofficial photos of Daniel Day Lewis as our 16th president in Steven Spielberg’s upcoming biopic, Lincoln, today brings us the first official release of an image of Lewis as Abraham Lincoln. And, well, it’s uncanny.
Though we've only seen spy photographs, it looks like Steven Spielberg's Lincoln is about to heat up. We knew it was probably coming out this year, but it was unknown when. Now we know. November 9 is when the film will hit limited engagements (read: New York and Los Angeles), and then November 16 it goes wide.
Men In Black 3 has become a blockbuster underdog, mainly because it's the movie no one was asking for, and has to overcome a lot of bad buzz about re-shoots. It's been 10 years since we last saw Will Smith's Agent J and Tommy Lee Jones' Agent K monitor alien activity on Earth, and the new film offers a time travel twist which introduces Josh Brolin as the new K,...
We're heading toward the Memorial Day weekend, and though The Avengers is still setting records (and may continue to), Men in Black III is the big picture of that holiday weekend, which sells Will Smith's agent J losing his partner K (Tommy Lee Jones) and traveling back in time to work with a younger version of his partner (Josh Brolin)....
While we saw a trailer for the upcoming Men in Black III last December, it felt more like a teaser, seeing as how it was a quickie trailer for an incomplete film with a troubled production and, at the time, apparently no written ending. Now, we get a more polished trailer for the entirely unnecessary sequel, which finds Will Smith traveling back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones,...
Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and Josh Brolin...as Tommy Lee Jones? That's the set up from the Men in Black 3 teaser trailer, one that seems to be there to refresh viewers on the world of the Men in Black. Though the rough outline of the plot has been known for a while, this gives a sense of what the film is about, with newcomer Emma Thompson telling the viewers that...
Despite the cavalcade of production snafus that have befallen the wildly unnecessary Men In Black III—really, do we need another one?—from Alec Baldwin bailing on the production to massive filming delays to the growing sense that the entire production is simply an outgrowth of Will Smith’s increasingly egomaniacal self love, it looks like Men in Black III is still...
This summer has brought an onslaught of comic-book movies, but the tide has turned against them. From Thor to X-Men: First Class to The Green Lantern, none of these super-expensive movies have managed to crack $200 Million at the box office, the number Superman Returns made (and that was...
Can Captain America save the summer for superheroes? That's the question now that we're three comic-book movies in this summer. And for all the hype, none have performed to expectations. Thor started the summer and is doing Wolverine numbers, while X-Men: First Class and The...
And it's good! Paramount and Marvel studio's Captain America: The First Avenger is one the big titles of the summer, and the Joe Johnston-directed, Chris Evans-starring film opens July 22, will be the last of summer's four big superhero films. The trailer is mostly the set-up: Skinny Steve Rogers becomes a superhero through the tutelage of Tommy Lee Jones's Col. Chester Phillips, and the...
Just yesterday we got our first look at Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes in Captain America: The First Avenger. He's the loyal sidekick of the Marvel hero, so think of him as the Robin to Cap's Batman. Today, we've got even more photos from the film that include Captain America, Peggy Carter, and even Tommy Lee Jones as Col. Chester Phillips. Check out the photos......
Aside from Jason Reitman's Up In The Air, Oliver Stone's Wallstreet: Money Never Sleeps and a couple of snooze-worthy doc's, few filmmakers have utilized our current economic climate on the project-front. First feature-length writer/director John Wells takes a stab at a little social/economic commentary in his film The Company Men, starring Ben Affleck (watch...
Earlier this year we learned that Sony would be producing another sequel in their popular Men in Black series. It was revealed that the original cast and crew would return including Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, and director Barry Sonnenfeld but in most sequels they always have to infuse new blood. In this case that would be Josh Brolin, an actor who many fans worried...
At some point in Marvel's Captain America: The First Avenger, Steve Rogers might be running for his life in a water tunnel and have to shout to the top of his lungs, "I didn't kill my wife," and at that point Tommy Lee Jones will shake his head and say, "I don't care." OK, maybe that's not exactly how it will play out but it has been confirmed by Captain...
Over the past few days Hollywood execs have been really trigger happy with their 2011-2012 summer schedules. Release dates are being announced every hour on the hour with the latest coming from Columbia Pictures. A date has finally been set for Men in Black 3 (in 3D) so expect to see Will Smith. Tommy Lee Jones, and Josh Brolin in May 2012.
Last year at the ShoWest Film Festival Sony announced they had plans to produce another sequel in their lucrative Men in Black series entitled, Men in Black 3D. At the time there was no definite word on if star Will Smith would return as Agent Jay or Tommy Lee Jones as his older, wiser partner Agent Kay but according to a recent report from...
Oscar winner Tommy Lee Jones has jumped ship from his latest project entitled, The Lincoln Lawyer. According to Variety, the actor was set to direct the film and co-star alongside Matthew McConaughey, but there's been a change of plans. This leaves The Lincoln Lawyer with no director and less talent, what will the studio do?
