A Movie for the Whole Family

Sep 30, 2009 Author: admin | Filed under: Movies & Television

The wait is over; the funniest movie of the summer is now on DVD and Blu-ray. Monsters vs. Aliens is the movie version of the popular comic book of the same name. It is a DreamWorks picture, the same people who made the hugely successful Shrek movies and is actually directed by the director of Shrek 2, Jason Buchanan.

This movie starts off with an invasion of Earth by some very unfriendly aliens that do not like humans at all. They are here to take over the planet and nothing will stand in their way, including the world’s military. It is up to a rag-tag group of monsters to stop the ruthless alien invasion. The world is now in the hands of a few, not so ordinary heroes including a gelatinous blue blob named Bob, voiced by Seth Rogen, a giant 50 ft tall girl, voiced by Reese Witherspoon and Dr. Cockroach who is voiced by the multitalented Hugh Laurie and Will Arnett as the Missing Link. Each character is special in its own way, and they are all funny in this animated movie.

This is a movie that you can take the whole family to and everyone will love it. The directors did such a great job making sure that it was something that both parents and their kids can see together and enjoy. The DVD and blu-ray are coming out very soon and there is also an extra disc on there that has an adventure with Bob and the gang to enjoy.

The Art of Creative Writing

There are two really common reasons why authors get writer’s block. The first is a lack of inner confidence about their writing ability. The second is a belief that they simply don’t have the time to write.

The blocks caused by lack of confidence can be caused by an innocent criticism of something written earlier – like an essay that got a black mark at school perhaps and has created a deep and lasting belief in their ability to write well.

Aside from making people feel good, funny tees have also become a fashion phenomenon. Even celebrities have been spotted off cam wearing funny tees which surely helps in making them more popular. Besides, someone who wears a witty thought across his chest is generally viewed as cool. But beyond this physical appeal, we know there’s always something more to the humor that is more mysterious and interesting. For example, did you know that laughter, genuine or not, sets off the same physiological reactions that produce the same healing effects in your body? This actually makes it healthy to laugh simply for health reasons which means a person who breaks into laughter without any apparent reason may not necessarily be a looney.

Here are some basic tips to help you streamline your movie collection before things get out of control.

Put Everything in One Place

You can only begin to streamline your movie collection if you know where all of your films are. To make sure you know what you own, you need to begin assembling your movies in one location. Take a day to put all of your DVDs into one room of your home, helping to centralize the inventory you will need to do. Then you will want to take all of your movie files on your computer and move them to the desktop or to another folder which will allow you to see what you own. Of course, if you have let friends and family members borrow the movies you own, this step might be a little more difficult. To help yourself out, a week before you are ready to assemble your movie collection, email or call people who might have your movies so that you can have them all on hand for your organizational efforts.
