| Description: | Two men who keep an eye on aliens in New York City must try to save the world after the aliens threaten to blow it up. | Comments: | Following on the success of 'Independence Day', Will Smith went on to make a series of summer blockbuster films. The following year, he did 'Men in Black' with Tommy Lee Jones (who appeared in serious films with Wesley Snipes and Samuel L. Jackson) which both increased his marketing and commercial value, as well as giving credibility to the urban home boy image. It was cool to wear booggers and baggy trousers on the streets after 'Men in Black', and even more so if it was worn by men who were black. The urban black man across the globe was now a credible commodity to be seen with, and it wouldn't surprise me if there was a new phase of middle class white women forming alliances with urban black men beyond the success of this film. Apart from Smith, Tommy Lee Jones did bring some character and an added dimension to the film which was much needed in 'Independence Day'. His approach to his character portrayals made both 'US Marshalls' and 'Rules of Engagement' highly entertaining projects. | Languages: | English | Subtitles: | Length: | 98 | Video format: | DivX 3.11 Low Motion | Audio format: | MPEG Layer 3 (MP3) | Resolution: | 512x288 | Files sizes: | 715 |
