Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (2015), PG, 0 stars

Paul Blart and his army of mall cops and security guards.
I'm going to save some energy and time to comment what I think about this deplorable piece of junk because it is like the worst Adam Sandler comedy disguised as the worst Kevin James comedy ever made. But, which would you rather go see, right?

Here's the plot: Paul Blart (Kevin James) moves to Las Vegas for a convention after six years of protecting the mall in Orange County. He has had a string of bad luck for which his love interest abandons him after six days of marriage, his mother is dead after a milk truck runs her over comically, but it's not funny. So, who's left? His overprotective daughter is who is the clichéd tourist who meets a whole bunch of characters and spends most of her time with one of the hotel's valet parking attendants.

I forgot about the central premise: Paul sneaks around this art heist masterminded by Vincent (Neal McDonough), who infiltrates the hotel's security staff to get involved in the heist. Ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom: the daughter falls into the villain's hands and uses her as leverage and Blart has to save her. But, first, he has to go through being rude, comical with pratfalls, slapstick humor and sight gags. It gets tiring and it gave me a headache because I wanted to punch a hole through the screen.

It plays a D-version of Ocean's Eleven with more of the Happy Madison features of advertising Las Vegas and the Wynn Hotel like it is Just Go with It with Hawaii being advertised or Blended with Africa being advertised and also with a little Die Hard again. But, it's more like Die Hard: with A Vengeance since he has people to back Blart up.

This is a movie that has no punchline for any of the jokes that are supplied in front of us and the characters are not of any rooted interest. And, the ending becomes so manipulative that I wanted to puke and bowl my eyes out. Whoever likes the movie, stay away from that person who thinks it is funny because its reprehensible jokes and one-dimensional stereotypical characters do not make a movie. The art heist is basically a bonus to the movie but it's more like a free membership to the  "Jelly of the Month" club. (Christmas Vacation reference)

It is undoubtedly one of the worst movies of the decade. Yeah, I'll stand by it. Now, I cannot wait to see what Adam Sandler is going to be in and top this piece of trash.

2015 Documentaries

I have only seen 6 documentaries this year which also includes Amy and I Am Chris Farley . But, I have to be honest, this has not been a particularly strong year for documentaries except for onethat got me emotionally and mentally as what I examine for when they uncover the truth or some facts from the people involved in these documentaries. But, here are the four I have seen this year: Listen To Me Marlon, Unrated, 4 stars This is the most insightful documentary of the year as we only hear Marlon Brando narrating his life and experiences what he has gone through regarding his family, his private life and his film experiences regarding The Godfather , Apocalypse Now , Last Tango in Paris , etc. It is like Marlon Brando came out of his grave to give us another profoundly moving movie only we hear his voice and scenery and nothing else. The Look of Silence, R, 3.5 stars Joshua Oppenheimer's follow-up documentary is a light-hearted but still-disturbing film regarding a ...

Daddy's Home 2 (2017), PG-13, ★1/2

The first Daddy's Home was surprisingly a financial success as I thought it was not as bad as many people thought. I thought it was a solid cable watch because it had enough laughs for that sort of mixed recommendation. I was not craving for a sequel for this movie because again, comedy sequels have a very bad record, however, the only difference is that it is not too late since the first movie came out a few years ago. But, this sequel is a reminder as to why we do not need a sequel to a hit comedy because this is a pretty much forgettable comedy, especially a holiday comedy...which I hade a guilty pleasure for. This did not work for me. Brad and Dusty (Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg) have become friends after the events of the first film and they set up a co-dad system where their two children, Megan and Dylan, spending time at each father's home. Dusty has re-married to writer Karen (Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio) and he is step-dad to Adrianna, Karen...

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013), R, 4 stars

The stockbrokers worshipping Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) like a god. Wall Street. The clients, the adrenaline, the stocks, the money, the power, and the decadence. The former three pertains to the man's job, but the latter three pertains what any stockbroker wants in order to have the freedom to do whatever they want with the client's money. As Mark Hanna (Matthew McConaughey) would say, "The name of the game is: move the money from your client's pocket into your pocket." We basically spend three hours seeing all of these Wall-Street scumbags steal the clients' money into their own pockets and spend it on booze, drugs, women, and other insane things in more insane activities. I have witnessed here is a great movie that I would not watch repetitively. The movie starts with Jordan Belfort (Leonardo DiCaprio) blowing cocaine onto a hooker's butt and he and his brokers throwing a little person onto a board with a dollar sign in the center. It'...
