Men In Black & Men In Black II

Men In Black and Men In Black II
"Men in Black follows the exploits of agents Kay and Jay, members of a top-secret organization established to monitor and police alien activity on Earth. The two Men in Black find themselves in the middle of the deadly plot by an intergalactic terrorist who has arrived on Earth to assassinate two ambassadors from opposing galaxies. In order to prevent worlds from colliding, the MiB must track down the terrorist and prevent the destruction of Earth. It's just another typical day for the Men in Black."
"
Kay and Jay reunite to provide our best, last and only line of defense against a sinister seductress who levels the toughest challenge yet to the MIBs untarnished mission statement: protecting the earth from the scum of the universe."

While I was writing up my review of Wolverine, I had TBS on in the background. And TBS plays MIB and MIB2 all the time, and I watch it all the time, and tonight is no exception. These movies are pure entertainment, and they are funny. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones have perfect chemistry and play off of each other beautifully. Smith (Jay) might get the funny lines, be Jones (Kay)s' reactions are just as great. Plus there's a ton of cameos (Biz Markie as the beatboxing alien!), and I love a good cameo.
Kay: All right, Beatrice, there was no alien. The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.
Jay
: Wait a minute. You just flash that thing, it erases her memory, and you just make up a new one?

Kay
: A standard issue neuralyzer.

Jay
: And that weak-ass story's the best you can come up with?

Kay
: On a more personal note Beatrice, Edgar ran off with an old girlfriend. You're gonna go stay with your mom a couple nights. You're gonna get over it and decide you're better off.

Jay
: Well, yeah, you know, 'cause 'cause he never appreciated you anyway. In fact, you know what - you kicked him out. And now that he's gone you're gonna go into town, you go to Bloomingdale's and find some nice dresses, get yourself some shoes, you know, find somewhere, maybe you can get a facial. And, uh, oh - hire a decorator to come in here quick, 'cause... damn.
(No one says 'Damn!' like Will Smith)

Jay: K! He's a Ballchinian!
Kay: [Explaining how most of the aliens are in Manhattan] You remember "Casablanca", right?
Jay: Yeah.
Kay: Same thing, just no Nazis.
(that one's for Todd)
