Monsters vs Aliens
Monsters vs Aliens is another creation from Dreamworks after some good animation films like Shrek and Madagascar. Well, Monsters vs Aliens is no Shrek, but it's sure a fun movie after all.
The characters are Susan Murphy, the giant sized lady, B.O.B, a brainless mass of blob created from an experiment who gone wrong, The Missing Link, a sort of lizard like creature, Dr. Cockroach, a scientist accidentally transformed into a roach-human hybrid and the 400 ft. Instectosaurus. They are then later on ordered to stop the alien overlord Gallaxhar, who wants to take the Quantanium and conquer the universe (ala… jalan cerita biasa ajer kan?).
BOB is unique and funny, who cracked me up the most in the film. The animation is solid and colorful, like most of the recent Dreamworks film (Bee Movie and Madagascar for example). The casts were very good and their voices fitted the characters perfectly. Hugh Laurie does a fantastic job as the voice of the sophisticated (though mildly insane) Dr. Cockroach and most of the laughs are generated by Seth Rogen's performance as BOB. Reese Witherspoon helps you feel some sympathy for her character near the beginning of the film and Stephen Colbert does a surprisingly solid job as President Hathaway.
I was smiling through virtually the entire film and had about 5 or 6 hard laugh-out-loud moments throughout. As expected, I was also very impressed by the voice cast in this movie. So overall, Monster vs Aliens is a good movie. So don't expect something like the best animated film of the year, enjoy the film and have fun.

Underworld : Rise of the Lycans
The action in Underworld, though obviously restrained by a lower budget, is good and acceptable to me. There's some nice dueling, the obvious gore and blood galore and a nice Lord of the Rings style battle at the end.
It's a worthy prequel in the series and certainly not a disappointment to me. It has good action, a wonderful lead performance from Michael Sheen and should satisfy fans mythological stories.
I'm so very glad the story was more focused on Lucian as it's a nice change from Selene and Michael being in the spotlight. As for Rhona Mitra, I won't say she was better than Kate Beckinsale but I can't say she was any less of an asset. Not only did she look great but she executed her lines superbly. I will however say that I find Sonja's character much more interesting than Selene's. The chemistry between Lucian and Sonja was much better than that of the chemistry between Michael and Selene.
But why Sonja’s fate has to end that way???? Alahai…
