My friend Leslie and I went and saw Monsters v. Aliens this weekend in 3D. It was hilarious. It was a wonderful homage to the lovely sci-fi B flicks from the 50's. It brought back great memories of those scary sci-fi flicks my dad and brother and I would watch together on Saturday or Sunday afternoons. We loved Godzilla, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Teenagers from Outer Space, and my personal favorites:
The Blob
and The Crawling Eye.
Those two movies, in particular, terrified me. The titles were scary enough. My little (now 6'2") brother loved to see me jump out of my skin at those many breathless moments--like when the little girl dropped her ball and it slowly bounced, bounced, bounced, down the stairs...didn't she KNOW the BLOB was down there????
Monsters v. Aliens, however, had the cool elements of those funny old sci-fi flicks (don't worry, no spoiler here), but it didn't have any horrible scary awful parts. So we laughed...and I remembered...and I still jumped out of my seat even if it was just from wearing those psycho 3D glasses.
