FILMCLUB Film of The Week:
Men in Black III (2012, PG)
Director: Barry Sonnenfeld
Cast: Will Smith, Tommy Lee Jones, Alice Eve, Josh Brolin, Emma Thompson, Jemaine Clement, Nicole Scherzinger
Extra-terrestrial secret agents J and K return for the third installment of the Men In Black series.
Some kind of cosmic shenanigans have been occurring and Agent K is missing, so Agent J (played by Will Smith), must time travel to the 1960s and meet with the young K to get to the bottom of things. Could it have something to do with the artist Andy Warhol?
As always, there is no shortage of creepy, gooey aliens for him to zap, and cool gadgets aplenty in this action-filled sci-fi comedy. Look out for cameo appearances from Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga.
The first Men In Black film was in part responsible for making Will Smith the huge movie star he is now and whilst this movie doesn’t quite live up to the first in the series there is still plenty to see for fans who enjoy frantic battles to save earth with a time travelling twist!
A great family movie, well worth a watch (especially if you have a chance to catch up with the other two in the series before you go to watch this).

Personal Best (2012, 12A)
Director: Sam Blair
Cast: James Ellington; Jeanette Kwakye; Richard Alleyne; Omardo Anson; Michael Afilaka; John Powell
With the 2012 Olympics just around the corner, this amazing documentary throws a spotlight on some of the young British sporting heroes hoping to compete there. Looking at the intense sport of sprinting, the film follows a number of the UK’s up-and-coming athletes as they train and race, as well as share their experiences of an activity that pushes them beyond their physical and mental limits.
The sprinters’ stories are fascinating and inspirational, detailing the agony and ecstasy of their sport, along with other stories about their lives.
From Richard Alleyne, who recently fought injury, to James Ellington, who even put himself on eBay to raise sponsorship, these are athletes determined to give everything to achieve their dreams.
A fantastic documentary that shows all the hard work that goes into the ten or twenty seconds of running you will eventually enjoy watching during the Olympic Games – a must watch for any sports fan and a brilliant way to start getting excited for London 2012.
