Madagascar 3:Europe's Most Wanted

Yesterday I witnessed Madagascar 3. Alex the Lion (Ben Stiller) Marty the Zebra (Chris Rock) Melman the Giraffe (David Schwimmer) and Gloria the Hippo (Jada Pinkett Smith) continue their quest to get home. They are being hunted by a European animal control officer. Their mission to return to Central Park Zoo now involves joining a circus. They are admitted by Gia the Jaguar (Jessica Chastain). They perform in hopes of doing the circus in NYC. I personally found King Julien the Lemur's (Sacha Baron Cohen)subplot irrelevant to the story, but he becomes pivotal in the end. Marty the Zebra and the penguins provided comedy. I give the film an A- and it is a good family film.

MIB3

The Men in Black are back, and this time Agent J (Will Smith) must take a trip into the past in order to save both the future and his partner Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) in the third installment of the hit sci-fi comedy series. After 15 years of working with aliens from all across the universe, Agent J is sure he's seen it all. But just when he's getting the hang of the game, he learns that history has inexplicably been rewritten. In this new timeline of events, Agent K has been dead for 40 years, and Earth will soon come under attack from an extraterrestrial force with the power to claim the entire planet. Now, in order to set the past straight and head off an invasion of epic proportions, Agent J must travel back to the year 1969, when Young Agent K (Josh Brolin) was just a fresh new face on the force. But Agent J only has 24 hours to find the source of the coming catastrophe and find out how his longtime partner ties into the situation -- should he fail he'll be stuck in the past forever. Jemaine Clement, Alice Eve, and Emma Thompson co-star.
