How useful can we PAMers be if we don’t give you any good movie recommendations? Starting today, each week we will give you a list of anywhere from one to several movie recommendations based on a current release. Sometimes it’s as simple as telling you

Saturday Night Live was such a tour-de-force for comedy that in the late 1970s, the sketch comedy show took its exploits to the silver screen. In the 30 years since Blues Brothers became the first great comedy of the ’80s, SNL has tried again and again to turn a profit on some relatively low-budget films.
With the ability to see which sketches work on their late-night show as a trial-run, it’s interesting to note that they’ve had a good degree of failure, especially in the ’90s, which presumably is what prompted them to call it quits in 2000.
On Friday, SNL — now with a completely new cast since its last effort The Ladies Man — makes a big-screen comeback with MacGruber. Spoofing TV’s MacGyver, MacGruber’s an oddball action hero who refuses to use traditional weaponry. Film festival debuts have given somewhat positive feedback, but time will tell if this is the beginning of another era for SNL at the movies.
The year is 1994. Movie mogul Steven Spielberg, music executive David Geffen and former Disney executive Jeffrey Katzenberg undertake an endeavour to form an animation production
Both Men in Black 3 and The Three Musketeers have had significant cast updates within the past twenty-four hours. Let’s check them out.
Men in Black 3: Jemaine Clement, the Emmy Award nominated star of Flight of the Conchords, is set to portray a villain in Men in Black 3.
Will Smith and director Barry Sonnenfeld have agreed to return to work with this sequel. However, Academy Award nominee Josh Brolin will be playing the character once portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones since much of the film takes place in 1969.
Clement will portray Boris, a villain who is both creepy and charming. He can be seen in this year’s Dinner for Schmucks and received an Independent Spirit Award nomination for his work in last year’s Gentlemen Broncos.
Deadline Hollywood is reporting that Transformers co-star Megan Fox will not be appearing in the third installment of the mega-hit franchise. The news comes several months after Fox loosely compared director Michael Bay to Hitler in an interview with Wonderland magazine. After trading jabs back and forth, it appears Bay will get the last laugh as he and co-writer Ehren Kruger are writing in a new love interest, a decision that ultimately rested with Bay. All this is according to a Paramount insider.
Mark Hamill is best known for portraying Luke Skywalker in the first three Star Wars films, but he’s also widely known as an avid comic book fan. He will combine those two loves and direct a film based on his very own comic The Black Pearl, according to Variety. The Black Pearl tells the story of a man named Luther Drake, who becomes a masked vigilante upon preventing a woman’s abduction.
The 1996 comic, in Hamill’s own words, tells a tale of madness that focuses on many societal issues, such as instant celebrity and “tabloidization.” He also described the project as “offbeat, unpredictable, and wickedly funny.”
