Paul Blart, Mall Cop

Kevin James is the main character and has the same quirky and slightly awkward characteristics as his Albert Brennaman character from Hitch. If you loved him in Hitch, you will love him in this movie! Single father trying to become a New Jersey Police Officer but fails due to his hypoglycemic condition. He continues to put his effort into his job being a security officer, not to be confused with a security guard, at a mall. Black Friday is given a whole new meaning when the mall is taken over. Because of his oath to "protect the mall and all inside," Paul Blart uses his police academy training to save the hostages which include his intended sweetheart and his daughter.

Definitely a fun movie, nothing too serious taking place on screen, but certainly entertaining. Plus it is a good PG movie... so we have to support the wholesome!

Fun fact for you (just as Paul Blart would interject)... the film began shooting in late February 2008 in Boston. The main shooting took place at Burlington Mall in Burlington after being denied a permit from Willowbrook Mall.

Born Yesterday, 1950

Don't let the black and white/old movies scare you they are full of charm, whit and humor. Born Yesterday was such a film. It is the story of a corrupt villain, Harry Brock (at least that is what I thought of him) who is trying to work a congressman to get more money for his business. He is embarrassed by his fiancee of seven years, Billie, by her coarse and slightly ignorant and uneducated nature. He hires a journalist, Paul Verrall, to help her unsightly ways. He gives her books and newspapers to read and takes her to the various monuments in Washington, DC. She highlights those words/ideas which she does not understand and he helps her understand. She finds a desire for learning and realizes there is something more than her beautiful looks, clothing and other fine things.

Judy Holliday plays Billie and is fantastic in this movie: she's sassy and spunky.
