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.

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.
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.
In the same manner George Lucas and his team changed the history of film with technology that made the world of Luke Skywalker come to life, magic movies have brought the worlds imagination to life. By the time he finished his sixth movie in the Star Wars trilogy he had developed technology even further to go back and add to his first three movies to create scenes that we wanted to first create but were not possible at the time.
If you doubt how far magic in movies has come, you need to look no further than the serials that used to play before a feature in the golden years. There you can see the attempts of surreal imagery that we laugh at today. But in it’s hey day it wowed audiences and much as the watching a starship go into light speed today.
