Jan 19 2009Paul Blart: Best Movie
Our best movies this previous weekend were:
1. Paul Blart: Mall Cop - $31.8 million. So that's why everyone was giving me friendly waves at my night job...
2. Gran Torino - $22 million, still astounding for a movie marketed entirely on scowling, finger guns, and a few actual guns.
3. My Bloody Valentine 3-D - $21.3 million. Expect commercials proclaiming it "the number 3-D movie in the country!"
4. Notorious - $20.5 million, 20.5 million problems! (Like that one song of the three Notorious B.I.G. hits I know.)
5. Hotel for Dogs - $17 million. What's this one about again? I forget exactly what the premise is.

The song about the correlation between having more money and, thus, having more problems.

Jay-Z. Notorious BIG. Vanilla Ice. Let's just all agree that no matter the rapper, monetary gain equates external conflict.

I made the mistake and watched this so called movie. A few chuckle moments and the rest was so predictable it was boring. My 7 year old neice said she was bored and wanted to go. Thats how bad this piece of shit is.
Avoid it. Save your money. Go rent one.

I'm completely stunned by Paul Blart's ascension. I figured it might do something along the lines of $7 mill. This is thoroughly disgusting and i can't believe the movie-going public elected it this weekend's king. If i was forced to see a new movie this weekend, I would have gladly chosen My Bloody Valentine over this. At least it has the magic combination of nudity and 3-D behind it.
