Men in Black

"Men in Black" is wildly amusing in its first half, but loses some energy towards the end. Nevertheless, it fills the bill for when you're in the mood for fun and thrilling popcorn entertainment. The film follows a New York City police officer who joins a top-secret organization that deals with extraterrestrial interactions on Earth, and he teams up with his grizzled mentor to investigate a series of seemingly unrelated criminal incidents related to alien activity.
