MEN IN BLACK 3 (PG-13): In his first film since 2008’s “Seven Pounds,” Will Smith opts for familiar turf with another installment in the adventures of the UFO-fighting secret agents. After his partner (Tommy Lee Jones) is assassinated by a mean alien, Smith travels back in time to attempt to prevent the murder. Josh Brolin co-stars as Jones’ younger self — and, by the looks of the trailer, steals the movie outright.

“DARK SHADOWS” (PG-13): Tim Burton brings his unique sensibilities to bear on this revival of the cult TV soap opera about a centuries-old vampire named Barnabas (Johnny Depp), who experiences culture clash when he awakes in 1970s America. Think “Beetlejuice” with fangs.
Recliner Reviews for May 24th, 2012
“The Grey”: Joe Carnahan is a writer/director who knows what he does well and sticks with it. His two previous films may have ranged in theme – “Smokin’ Aces” was a violent collage of over-the-top gangsters and “The A-Team” was a reimaging of the classic TV show. But both were fun to watch action flicks. In his latest, he reteams with Liam Neeson in a man against nature allegory.
