Monsters vs Aliens – A Movie Review

November 2, 2009November 1, 2009 John Action, Adventure, Animation, Comedy, Conrad Vernon, Keifer Sutherland, Reese Witherspoon, Rob Letterman, Seth Rogen

When California girl Susan Murphy is unwittingly clobbered by a meteor full of outer space gunk on her wedding day, she mysteriously grows to 49-feet-11-inches tall. Alerted to the threat of this new monster, the military jumps into action and Susan is captured and secreted away to a covert government compound. There, she is renamed Ginormica and placed in confinement with a ragtag group of other monsters. I would give the movie 7/10. It is an animated movie that you can actually volunteer to take your kids to and enjoy it just as much as they can.

9 – A Movie Review

September 20, 2009 John 9, Action, Adventure, Alan Oppenheimer, Animation, Shane Acker, SiFi, Tom Kane

The time is the too-near future. Powered and enabled by the invention known as the Great Machine, the world’s machines have turned on mankind and sparked social unrest, decimating the human population before being largely shut down. But as our world fell to pieces, a mission began to salvage the legacy of civilization; a group of small creations was given the spark of life by a scientist in the final days of humanity, and they continue to exist post-apocalypse. We were both impressed.
