At the Movies: 'Monsters vs. Aliens' has high-energy humor
By CHRISTY LEMIRE

Classic creatures from the 1950s get a high-tech makeover, with a healthy amount of attitude, in the 3-D animated “Monsters vs. Aliens.”
| MONSTERS VS. ALIENS |
 DirectorS: Rob Letterman, Conrad Vernon Voice cast: Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Will Arnett, Kiefer Sutherland, Rainn Wilson, Stephen Colbert, Paul Rudd Rating: PG for sci-fi action, some crude humor and mild language Running time: 94 minutes |
The Blob, The Creature from the Black Lagoon, The Fly — they're are all here, led by The 50-Foot Woman, who's now 49 feet, 11 inches as voiced by the diminutive Reese Witherspoon. (Animation, by the way, is a great fit for her, and for both the crispness and sweetness in her voice.)
