Hoot (2006)
Starring: Logan Lerman and Brie Larson
Characters: Roy Eberhardt and Beatrice the Bear
Directed by: Wil Shriner
Tagline: It's time to stand up for the little guys.
Grade: A+
I LOVE this movie. It was one of my very, very favorite books. And it has Logan Lerman in it which is an epic win. (This was his pre-Percy Jackson days...AKA pre-cool days.) Roy has just moved to a new town (in Florida). While there, he meets new friends, Beatrice and her step-brother, Mullet Fingers and also, the bully. Mullet Fingers tells Roy about this pancake house that was going to build their building on top of owl's nests. And they decide to fight against it. Add in music from Jimmy Buffet (who plays a teacher, too) and...Logan Lerman, this movie is awesome. Watch it...now.

Movie Review: Man of the House
Man of the House (2005)
Starring: Tommy Lee Jones and Cedric the Entertainer
Characters: Ranger Roland Sharp and Percy Stevens
Directed by: Stephen Herek
Tagline: Protecting witnesses is a challenge. Living with them is impossible.
Grade: A
I like Tommy Lee Jones. He's a really cool actor (U.S. Marshalls, anyone?). This is one of my favorite of his movies. It's really funny and the entire cast is awesome, especially the cheerleaders (Christina Milian as Anne, Paula Garces as Teresa, Monica Keena as Evie [my favorite], Vanessa Ferlito as Heather, and Kelli Garner as Barb). This movie is about Roland Sharp, who's partner is shot at the beginning of the movie. The man that shot her also shoots a key witness in a crime. But this crime has witnesses, too. And they just happen to be Texas Longhorn cheerleaders. So, Roland has to live in a house with all of the girls to protect them until they can testify in court. The dialouge between the cheerleaders (especially Barb) and Sharp is pretty funny and the end is really cool (the cheerleaders end up putting their skills to a good use). I would reccomend this movie to anyone looking for a funny movie, one where you don't have to think about a lot. Those kind of movies are awesome. :)
