Men in Black II (Dove Approved 12+)

This eagerly awaited sequel to the 1997 blockbuster takes up where the first film left off. It’s been five years since Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones) retired and had his memory erased by Agent Jay (Will Smith). But an old threat has returned to Earth in the form of the powerful Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle), an evil Kylothian looking for the Light of Zartha. Zed (Rip Torn), head of MIB operations, sends Jay to bring Kay back into service from his retirement as Postmaster in Truro, Massachusetts. Because only Kay knows where to find the clues that lead to the Light, if his memory can be restored. But Serleena takes over MIB headquarters and the countdown to Earth’s destruction can only be stopped by finding the Light, and keeping Serleena in the dark. Audiences will once again enjoy the humorous roller coaster of an adventure in alien encounters from, as one clue puts it, “the secret files of an agency that doesn’t exist.”

Toy Story 3 (Dove Approved All Ages)

Shifting from November release dates to summer ones, the creators of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 re-opened the toy box and brought moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favorite gang of toy characters. Woody and Buzz had accepted that their owner Andy would grow up someday, but what happens when that day arrives? In the third installment, Andy is preparing to depart for college, leaving his loyal toys troubled about their uncertain future. Lee Unkrich directed this highly anticipated film, and Michael Arndt, an Academy Award®-winning screenwriter, brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities to the proceedings.
