General Movie Thread

I give "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" an "A."

I haven't seen it, but you have got to be fucking kidding me. Don't make me see this movie!

According to Rotten Tomatoes, I am very much in the minority on this one.  Keep that in mind.

Ebert seems to like it a lot

Paul Blart emerges as a hero, and something else: Kevin James illustrates how lighting and camera angles can affect our perception of an actor. In the early scenes, he's a fat schlub, but after he goes into action, the camera lowers subtly, the lighting changes, and suddenly he's a good-looking action hero, ready for business. He demonstrates what fat men have been secretly believed for a long time. Should Daniel Craig someday retire, I am supporting Kevin James for the next James Bond.

Yet one more endorsement from someone who has made me laugh in the past. God help me.

PS: If this movie was just called Mall Cop I wouldn't feel quite the same horror, I think.

It reminds me of Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector.  Doesn't the health inspecting get in the way of his job at the cable company?  He didn't seem to show up for the cable job at all in that movie.

hardly any movie that follows that formula of [name] : [title] is worth any time.  in fact, i cant even think of one.

I think it was actually Judah Rosenthal: Crimes and Misdemeanors.  Good example, though!
