Movie Review: Hoot

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: Casino Royale

Casino Royale (2006)
Starring: Daniel Craig and Eva Green
Characters: James Bond and Vesper Lynd
Directed by: Martin Campbell
Tagline: Everyone has a past. Every legend has a beginning. Discover how James...became Bond.
Grade: A+

Most James Bond movies are pretty cool...I mean, he's James Bond. But this one surpasses them all by so much, it's not even funny. And Daniel Craig is the best Bond by a long, long shot. You only have to watch a couple of minutes to see that. Basically...Bond kicks butt...and girls fall in love with him. The end. :D

Movie Review: Unaccompanied Minors

Unaccompanied Minors (2006)
Starring: Dyllan Christopher and Gia Mantegna
Characters: Spencer Davenport and Grace Conrad
Directed by: Paul Feig
Tagline: Silent night...yeah, right.
Grade: A-

I like family movies...that should be fairly obvious by now. And this one is no different. While some of the lines are a little bad and some of the acting is sorry, it's overall a pretty good movie. It's about a group of kids traveling on planes without their parents (or unaccompanied minors) that get stuck at Hoover International Airport. The group, which consists of Spencer, Grace, Charlie Goldfinch, Beef Wellington, and Donna Malone, is chased by the airport's passenger relations officer, Oliver Porter. After they escape from the UM room, they are caught by Zach Van Bourke, Porter, and the guards. While the rest of the kids get to spend a relaxing night in the lodge, they have to stay in the abandoned room. They escape from the room, and continue to elude Porter...having a chase through the luggage sorting room is one of my favorite scenes. So, overall a good, heartwarming family movie. I would probably reccomend it to other people, esp as a family Christmas movie.
