...Like some supersequel - Freddy vs Jason or Alien vs Predator - that never bothered with any setup episodes, Monsters vs Aliens bursts onto the screen this weekend. Onto it and out of it, for this latest concoction from the tummlers at Jeffrey Katzenberg's DreamWorks shop is being tub-thumped as the first feature-length animated movie to be conceived as a 3-D spectacle (not just converted to the format).

...this dream doesn’t materialize immediately, he decides to accept the first job he can find and ends up becoming the road manager for Buck Howard, a self-important, washed-up mentalist hoping to relive his former fame. Troy’s father (Tom Hanks, both on screen and in reality) cannot understand his decision—and neither can the audience. Buck Howard (John Malkovich) is nasty in person and not very talented on stage. His signature fist pump of a handshake and the catchphrases that turn up in every performance quickly become tiresome. Buck?...
