Name: Rick Baker: Alien Maker
Genre: Documentary, Sci-Fi, Short
Duration: 11 min
Rating: 5.4
Cast: Rick Baker

This 9 minute 49 second featurette on the visual and special effects that Rick Baker contributed to "Men in Black 2" can be found on the second disc of the 2-DVD special edition of the aforementioned movie. It was interesting to me only because I enjoy Rick's work. I didn't go into it thinking that it would be a comprehensive look at Rick Baker's career. I knew it was gonna be pretty much a fluff piece for the movie at hand. So your enjoyment of this extra is going to be dependent on you appreciation of the work that Baker does or you love of the move itself. I'm of the former, NOT the latter by the way.
