Don't Doubt Mr. Smith


Just when it appeared that Will Smith was about to fade to black with "Wild, Wild, West," Big Will stormed back with a memorable performance as the Greatest of All Time. Now, like clockwork, Smith and Jones have did it again with a knockout in "Men In Black II." Breaking box-office records with the sci-fi hit and bad-ass sunglasses, this franchise will be with us for a while -- Michael Myers is back so we know "MBII" will make another run sooner rather than later. Stay tuned to blackfilm.com, we will be back with much more for the last half of 2002. If you don't get the newsletter, you better sign up today.

Till next time,
the blackfilm.com crew
