Who wrote, directed and starred in both Madea Boo! movies?
Boo! A Madea Halloween Boo! A Madea Halloween is a 2016 American comedy horror film directed, written, starring and co-produced by Tyler Perry. The idea for the film originated from a fictitious Madea Halloween movie that was mentioned in Chris Rock's 2014 film "Top Five". It is the ninth in the "Madea" series, and it is the second "Madea" film (the first being "Madea's Witness Protection") to not be adapted from a stage play. The film was released on October 21, 2016 by Lionsgate, received generally negative reviews and grossed $74 million, making it the second-highest film of the "Madea" series. A sequel, titled "Boo 2! A Madea Halloween", is set to be released October 20, 2017.
Ramona and Beezus Ramona and Beezus is a 2010 American family adventure comedy film adaptation based on the Ramona series of novels written by Beverly Cleary.

The film stars Joey King, Selena Gomez, Hutch Dano, Ginnifer Goodwin, John Corbett, Bridget Moynahan, Josh Duhamel, Jason Spevack, Sandra Oh, Sierra McCormick, Patti Allan, Lynda Boyd, and Aila and Zanti McCubbing. Though the film's title is derived from "Beezus and Ramona", the first of Cleary's Ramona books, the plot is mostly based on the sequels "Ramona Forever" and "Ramona's World". Fox 2000 Pictures released the film on July 23, 2010. "Ramona and Beezus" earned generally positive reviews from critics and grossed $27,293,743.
