Monsters vs. AliensDreamworksThis comedic cartoon depicts five monsters who are released from government captivity to save the world from an alien with an army of clones who want to destroy the planet. While “Monsters vs. Aliens” offers no new ideas when it comes to story line, the audience will find the personalities of each of the monsters endearing. Even though it is meant for kids, the movie, featuring a host of stars such as Reese Witherspoon, Seth Rogan and Rainn Wilson, can still be humorous for college students.[B-]C. Vogels—Bow WowNew Jack City IISony MusicWith only three of the album’s 11 songs featuring rhymes solely by Bow Wow, he is overshadowed by the many guest rappers and producers. The record features cuts from Ron Brownz, Nelly, T-Pain and T.I. and production from Jermaine Dupri. The guest artists and heavy production cause the album to lose consistency, giving it the feel of a mixtape rather than a solid solo release. He may have dropped the ‘Lil’ from his name a few years ago, but Bow Wow is still having trouble achieving his sound on his own.[D]B. Bourgeois—Peter, Bjorn and JohnLiving ThingAlmost Golden RecordsSwedish Indie rock trio Peter, Bjorn and John made a stir in the music scene with their 2006 release “Writer’s Block” but the warmth and eclectic style that made that album and the band so appealing seems to have faded in the past three years. While 2009’s “Living Thing” is a great example of the band’s minimalistic style and singer Peter Morén’s lyrical writing ability, the overly used synths and electronic beats push the album back to an oddly cold 1984. [C+]J. Clapp—Editor’s PickFlo RidaR.O.O.T.S.Atlantic RecordsFor fans of: T-Pain, Three 6 Mafia, Rick RossNo one is arguing that Flo Rida is groundbreaking. There isn’t much talk of his creativity. Hell, the man got his moniker by putting a space in the middle of the name of his home state. But what Flo Rida excels at is making catchy songs with pop-friendly beats that get major radio play. While one might get flak for liking an artist with little talent, there’s no shame in listing Flo Rida as a guilty pleasure. So turn it up  — just make sure no one else is listening.S.
