Monsters vs Igor
I watched both movies in one night. What an accomplishment for someone who can’t keep their attention to the TV for more than 45 minutes (that’s how long House’s per episode is). IMO, Igor is way, way funnier than Monsters vs Aliens. I dunno why there’s no big hoo-haa about Igor but it’s good. Maybe because the jokes are more towards sarcasm than funny.
Eva, Igor, Scamper and Brain
Igor is a story about the Evil Scientists’ assistant who wants to be an evil scientist. It’s about an ‘Igor’ who wants to create instead of just pulling the switch. Apart from the usual rising-to-the-occasion theme, I am infatuated with Igor’s sidekicks; a suicidal immortal cat and a brain in a jar. Some funny quotes from the movie:
Dr Glickenstein: I will kill you and use your hunch as a road bump!
————————–
Igor: As somebody I loved once said: It’s better to be a good nobody, than an evil somebody.
————————
Brain: Is french fries an idea?
————————
Igor: PULL THE SWITCH!
Scamper: Do NOT yell at me…

B.O.B, Ginormica, Dr Cockroach & The Missing Link
The only character I like in the movie is B.O.B. He’s funny and jiggly… A few scenes in the movie is funny (like Derek’s mother whose thumb was too short to reach the door knob… harharhar!). I thot the storyline was to flat and the movie was too short. Maybe because it’s a kid’s movie and kids don’t usually pay attention for more than 45 minutes (or watever duration is suitable for 3+). Some quites that I like:
Dr Cockroach: Might we ask for your name Madam?
Susan: Susan
B.O.B: No… We mean like your monster name. You kno, what do people scream when they see you coming? Like “Look out! Here comes…”
Susan: Susan
Dr Cockroach: Really?
B.O.B: Suuuusaaaan (spookily)! Ooh! I just scared myself. That is scary!
—————————–
The Missing Link: She’s speechless.
B.O.B: She?
Dr Cockroach: Yes. We are in the presence of the rare female monster.
B.O.B: No way! It’s a boy! Look at his boobies!
The Missing Link: We need to have a talk…

My ratings for Igor is a B- and Monsters vs Aliens is a C.

i think monsters vs aliens’ script is cute – imtiyaz pun suka BOB!
and igor, the kids found it a bit boring especially in the beginning.
transformers pulak, definitely not for the under 5 year olds. 3 hours is just too long for them… both imtiyaz and his cousin decided to have their own fun in the cinema before half the movie is done! hehe. inilah akibatnya parents bawak anak2 tgk movie rated PG13.
btw, i think i have shorter attention span to the tv than you kot! hehehe…
