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.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007), PG-13, ★★1/2

We're about halfway through the Harry Potter franchise and this is the turning point in which I found the material to be darker and more mature when the storyline surrounding Lord Voldemort grows. And, also we see another new and fresh direction as David Yates comes into the spotlight to finish off the franchise with the last four movies. I remember watching the trailer in the theaters and I was excited for this movie as it was mostly action-packed. The bottom line is despite the camaraderie between the young Hogwarts characters and a real-good action sequence in the climax, it is a choppily edited and more grounded movie that does not provoke much magic or memorable scenery. Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is enduring a hot summer and Dudley (Harry Melling) provokes him by making fun of the fact that Harry is haunted by Cedric's death from The Goblet of Fire and also his mom's death. As a storm approaches, demeanors come into the tunnel sucking Dudley's so...

Non-Stop (2014), PG-13, 3 stars

The passengers think Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) is a terrorist. Airports and airplanes. The lines. The crowds. The delays. Everything that Bill Marks (Liam Neeson) hates about flying. When it comes to airports, I have to go through the procedure with taking your carry-on baggage and luggage on the flight. Then, I go through security which I have to admit is not as bad, just follow the rules and guidelines. After security, what do you do? If you are two or three hours early, you have time to kill: Have something to eat, watch something on your IPad, shop, etc. As you board and get on the plane, anything can happen from turbulence to maybe something unexpected like this movie's situation. This movie is silly and preposterous, but it is a fun movie to watch. The movie opens with Bill Marks tired drinking alcohol and arguing with a supervisor on his cellphone glancing at a photo of his daughter. But, he is trying to get his act together by lighting a cigarette while he is being pus...
