Details: Product Description Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith are back in black as the scum-fighting super-agents Kay and Jay – regulators of all things alien on planet Earth. Their latest mission: to save the world from a total intergalactic disaster! When a renegade Kylothian monster disguised as a lingerie model threatens the survival of the human race, the boys of the MIB get the call to step up and get busy. With their headquarters under siege and time running out, Agents Kay and Jay enlist the help of Frank the Pug and a posse of hard-living worms to help them kick some seriously sexy alien butt! Amazon.ca Ils sont enfin de retour. Les agents très spéciaux J et K, duo de choc des Men in Black, organisation ultra-secrète chargée de réguler l’activité extraterrestre sur Terre, sont à nouveau réunis pour un deuxième volet des aventures des hommes en noir, sous la férule du réalisateur Barry Sonnenfeld. Quelques années ont passé depuis la mise à la retraite par “flashouillage” de K (Tommy Lee Jones), à la fin du premier épisode. Lorsqu’un vil ennemi, sous les traits d’un mannequin pour une marque de lingerie, met la Terre à feu et à sang pour récupérer une source de puissance infinie, la Lumière, J devra appeler son ancien partenaire à la rescousse. Peuplé d’attachantes bestioles extraterrestres et fidèle à l’esprit qui a fait le succès du premier épisode, Men in Black II continue à faire jaillir l’humour et le dynamisme de l’association de ses deux héros : Tommy Lee Jones en sage impassible et Will Smith en jeune chien fou. Malgré quelques éléments prévisibles et un personnage féminin plutôt léger (qui fait regretter celui qu’incarnait Linda Fiorentino dans le premier), le tandem s’avère toujours une véritable force dans ce film, pimenté, en outre, d’apparitions savoureuses de têtes d’affiche comme Michael Jackson et Martha Stewart. --Helen Faradji Special Features The hands-down highlight of MIIB's bonus features is "The Chubb Chubbs," a delightful computer-animated cartoon (briefly shown in theaters with MIIB) that has the awkward distinction of being funnier and more inventive than MIIB. The other features offer an extensive dossier of production details, paying worthy tribute to the ingenuity of MIIB's creative team. Fifteen featurettes cover virtually every stage of production, from conceptual designs (in the DVD-ROM section, along with the complete screenplay) to Danny Elfman's dynamic score. Director Barry Sonnenfeld's "how we did it" commentary is as lazily redundant as his film, and his onscreen scribblings (or "Telestrator Diagrams," like those used during televised football games) serve no valuable purpose. In contrast, multiangle scene deconstructions fascinatingly demonstrate the many elements that make up a completed special-effects sequence. The blooper reel is what you'd expect (one viewing is enough), and additional behind-the-scenes material can be accessed through the "Alien Broadcast" feature, a film-in-progress variation of New Line's Infinifilm DVD format. The alternate ending is arguably better than the one actually used, and Will Smith's ultra-lavish music video "Black Suits Comin' (Nod Ya Head)" is just like the movie: big, loud, and pure Hollywood. Is that a good thing? You decide. -Jeff Shannon
