    VidTrac VidTips -- July 4, 2002

    NEW IN THEATERS
    The super secret agents in black are back to fight new alien scum
on the same old planet in MEN IN BLACK II. WILL SMITH and TOMMY LEE
JONES reprise their roles as Agent J (Jay) and Agent K (Kay),
respectively. When a man-eating alien clad in the form of a Victoria's
Secret model (Lara Flynn Boyle) arrives on Earth, hell-bent on
destruction, Agent J and the MiB are desperately in need of Agent K.
One small problem: at the end of the first film, Agent K had his
memory vaporized and he embraced ordinary life by becoming a postal
worker. Now, Agent J must convince Kay to join MiB once more and
together they must save the planet from a big, ugly alien - again.

    NEW ON VIDEO
    Arriving in video stores on July 9 is THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS
starring GENE HACKMAN, ANGELICA HUSTON, BEN STILLER, and GWYNETH

an estranged family of former child prodigies. Seventeen years after
separating from his family, Royal decides to make amends and bring his
children and wife together under one roof. He realizes the only way
such a momentous event can be staged is by faking a terminal illness.
Hilarity ensues when the audience becomes acquainted with the kooky
