starring Will Smith.HANCOCK ? Peter Berg (THE KINGDOM, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS) directs this story of a reluctant superhero, John Hancock (Will Smith). Like the best superheroes, Hancock can fly, is bulletproof, and has insurmountable strength. He uses these gifts to fight crime in Los Angeles and save people in distress. Unfortunately, he is also a drunk who leaves a trail of costly destruction behind during his lifesaving pursuits, and his constant sarcasm fails to win him friends. But after Hancock randomly saves his life, public relations executive Ray Embrey (Jason Bateman) decides to give him a makeover and help the superhero change his image so that the police and citizens of Los Angeles will realize how much they need their seemingly inappropriate hero.MEN IN BLACK ? In the 1950s a super-secret government agency was formed to monitor and police the activities of extraterrestrial aliens on the planet Earth. Some 40 years later a founding father of the agency, Agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), finds himself with a new smart-mouthed partner fresh from the NYPD who is soon dubbed Agent Jay (Will Smith). Their first mission is to save the Earth from destruction by a giant insect-like alien (Vincent D'Onfrio) that, incidentally, drives an exterminator's truck. Armed with their matching Ray-Bans, skinny ties, and space-age weapons that Jay barely understands he calls the Neuralyzer the 'flashy thing' the new duo begin another average day of fighting intergalactic terrorists. An amazingly hip and terribly clever movie that riffs on everything from E.T. THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL to CASABLANCA, this Barry Sonnenfeld film is based on the equally savvy comic book by Lowell Cunningham.MEN IN BLACK 2 ? Reuniting director Barry Sonnenfeld with most of the original film's cast, MEN IN BLACK II picks up with alien-monitoring secret agent Jay (Will Smith) in a rut. Weary of the isolated life of an MIB operative, Jay continually fires new partners until MIB director Zed (Rip Torn) teams him up with the talkative pug Frank (voiced by Tim Blaney). Together they investigate an 'alien-on-alien' murder witnessed by the lovely Rita (Rosario Dawson), who Jay immediately falls for. The case eventually leads Jay and Frank to track down agent Kay (Tommy Lee Jones), who now works at a rural post office, completely unaware of his former life. Unfortunately, it's what Kay can't remember that may save the world from destruction at the hands of the shape-shifting alien Serleena (Lara Flynn Boyle). As Jay attempts to jog the memory of the reluctant Kay, Serleena takes over MIB headquarters, building up to a big New York City showdown.

I bought this box set for £9.99 in W H Smith at the end of June 2006 (their online store lists it at £34.99) as a gift for my 'better half'. We often like to sit down at the end of the day & have a giggle over a silly film - and they don't come much sillier than this!
For those of you who haven't seen the films yet (which planet were you on?), the plot goes something like this ...
Men in Black 1: Streetwise, know-it-all (or so he thinks!) New York cop James Edwards (Will Smith) chases down a criminal, only to see him behave in a very peculiar way: turns out he's an alien!. Later, Edwards is contacted by the mysterious Agent K (Tommy Lee Jones) who introduces him to the Men in Black: the secret government organistaion responsible for monitoring (and hiding) alien activity on earth. K invites Edwards to join, and, turning his back on everything he has ever thought 'normal', becomes Agent J. The two pair up, and together they go in search of an alien which is out to cause as much death & destruction as possible. I hope it won't give away too much to say that the Men in Black beat the alien and restore safety to the earth - you'll have to watch the film to find out how! Finally, Agent Kay decides he has had enough of aliens, and decides to return to 'normal' life, leaving Agent J with a new partner.
Men in Black 2: 5 years later, & Agent J is having trouble keeping a new partner - then a new alien threat rears its ugly head & K is brought back out of 'retirement'. Once again, they make an unbeatable team - the plot is largely the same as MiB1, but there are some new aliens & some sharp wisecracks to keep it moving along.
MiB1 runs at 98 minutes, 2 at 88 mins.
I enjoyed both films as they are very funny but there are some rather violent & gruesome scenes, especially in MiB1 - the 'alien' in this film is particularly creepy (Vincent D'Onofrio on top form). MiB2 has a few really tasteless moments. Personally I would rate them as at least 12 rather than PG, so definitely not for the tinies. (Ratings in other countries range from U (France) - to 13 (Argentina) but average out at about a 12.)
For me the violence takes the edge off the enjoyment, but I know a lot of people aren't bothered by it.
The extra features include commentaries, animation studies, scene 'deconstructions', extended & alternate scenes, music videos, trailers, mini documentaries, production notes, artwork, background information on both cast and characters, bloopers, and web links.
So, 2 good films & loads of extras - pretty good value at list price, excellent if you can get it for a tenner!!
