A combination of Ghost Busters and The SWAT Squad, this is the kind of entertainment only 1990s special effects could provide. Regulators of all things alien on Earth, the Men in Black are secret US government operatives armed with torches that obliterate witnesses' memories of alien activity. Seconded to membership, New York cop J (Will Smith) joins veteran operative K (Tommy Lee Jones). He's just in time to pursue a humanoid giant bug (Vincent D'Onofrio) who is out to steal a galaxy. Meanwhile, out in space, an alien force threatens to terminate Earth if it isn't rescued. Try if possible to avoid the trailer to this: all the best bits and most amazing effects are in it, with the exception of the head-on sight of the alien cockroach at the end. Good fun, though, especially the alien worms addicted to earthly nicotine, and a can of insect spray labelled 'Bug Off'.
