Like Being A Little Kid...AGAIN

Rating: 9/10 (3 September 2007)

Just revisited Barry Sonnenfelds great movie Men In Black. This movie has been a favourite since i was 6 or 7 years old when first viewing at my local cinema. When it was my first ever PG movie, i was enthralled by the 'baddies', the heroes, the comic book violence and the toned down language. When i watched it today, it still captured me. Remaining every bit as promising as I had remembered, and still it seemed that i should be watching something more for my age. Yet, i couldn't care less. This film is exactly why i want to make films, because its fun and if your end piece is 'enjoyable crap' rather than 'boring brilliance'; who gives a monkeys chuff anyway. The end result of this film may not be a top rated success with the critics, but it's enjoyable, fun and a roller-coaster ride of a film. I've always thought that its more important to be happy and enjoy your end piece of work than be given an award or a 100% rating success. The film itself doesn't go on any longer than it should, and doesn't remain to short to disappear from memory.
Classy popcorn cinema that will always hold a place in my DVD collection.
Plus....the box set was going for £3 in HMV a couple of weeks ago. Can't complain.
