Hoot
How far would you go to save hundreds of endangered burrowing owls? The movie Hoot is about three kids, Roy (Logan Lerman), Mullet Fingers (Cody Linley), and Bea Leep (Brie Larson). The three are trying to stop work on a Mother Paula's Pancake House construction site to save the endangered owls that live there. While trying to save the owls they get into a lot of trouble. They get chased by the cops, lie to a doctor about who they are, and one even sneaks home from school and hides from his parents! Though it was a decent film, there was a few flaws. I thought the movie was a little too predictable. There wasn't much to it, and I knew exactly what was going to happen before it did; like when Dana (Eric Phillips) grabbed Roy and tried to

    Oliver Sacks 'Roles In The Movie Awakenings'

    The movie was great because how they acted their roles were exceptional. Honestly, the roles given to them are really hard because they will handle all the emotional and physical challenges of their roles. You really need a good actors to be able to act it out, and so they did. It was so moving, since you are able to see hopeless people who as much as possible keep their selves positive and enthusiastic in life. It is directed by Penny Marshall, the film was produced by…

    Terminator: Genisys: Film Analysis

    I have an odd relationship with this film, it entertained me from start to finish, and at no point did it drag or feel grueling. Some might chock that up to good pacing, but I’d chock it up to lots and lots of brainless and inconsequential explosions. Let me be honest with you for a second, I secretly enjoy a lot of films because I know they’re bad, but that doesn’t make them any less enjoyable. This film is going to fit nicely into that collection of films I liked more than my brain tells me I should have. A lot of people are going to…

    Shaun Of The Dead Satire

    The soundtrack was impressive and gave suspense and drama as where needed. The special FX was up to date and gave a realistic feel to the movie. The cinematography is what brought this film's ratings up in my opinion. I really like the irony in the lightning, Especially Pegg's use of zoom-ins and quick cuts… hilarious. Also, the camera angles of when Ed drives himself and Shaun to his parent's house dodging zombies left and right was also very entertaining. I believe I almost jumped out of my seat in fright when Ed hit the lurking zombie speeding down the…

    Smoke Signals Movie Analysis

    The producers couldn’t have hired better actors for the roles of Thomas and Victor and the script was as if it wasn’t even a script. It seemed like it just came so naturally to the characters. If someone came to me asking for examples of a movie with really good acting, I would probably recommend this movie, but otherwise. I would say not to waste your time and watch something more enjoyable, like the romantic comedy “The Wedding…

    Comparing Hoot Film and Novel

    Among many books that were written and later made into films, the relation between the two can be vastly different, or practically identical. Though there are many similarities between the novel Hoot written by Carl Hiaasen, and the film directed by Wil Shriner, there are some differences as well. As a young man, Roy Eberhardt was a strange individual. Hoot, both the film and the novel, are based on a boy’s new life in Coconut Cove, Florida. As most would expect, starting a new life in a place that you’ve never been before, isn’t exactly a cup of tea. Roy grew up being the nerdy, low self-esteemed loser of all groups. But after being successful in making a few friends here and there, they come together to rise against an upcoming development site, where many of the indigenous “burrowing owls” would be forced to leave their nests. Though this is a very broad overview of the story line, there are underlining details within the novel and film that differ from each other. Hoot, the novel, was viewed as one of the best novels of the year in 2002 and was awarded a Newbery Honor award in 2003. Hoot, the film, was released on May 5, 2006. The film was generally regarded as unsuccessful in its initial theatrical run, and received largely negative to middle-rated reviews from notable film critics and film-review websites.…

    Even though the characters were exciting with their conflicts, I disliked how the story ended. I of course don’t want to give it away, but it ended very soon.
