Hey everyone!

So first things first, it's important to note that my gf really likes movies and pretty much likes to see all of them, good or bad. So today, we were out driving and we decided to see a movie. She picked Paul Blart: Mall Cop. I assumed it was going to be terrible but, since some of the other choices were Bride Wars or Hotel for Dogs, I accepted the choice happily. Well, with my low expectations, I was happily surprised when it actually turned out to be decent.

The first thing to note about this movie is that it says it's a comedy but in reality, this is only one, relatively small part of the movie. Think Hot Fuzz with about a fourth of the comedy. It would have been as bad as I expected except that the action scenes were actually quite good and while the comedy tended to be hit and miss, the hits were REALLY funny. Also, despite the sometimes subpar acting and writing, the characters were usually pretty likable. Blart ends up being smacked down enough in the beginning to get you to really root for him by the end and boy does he follow through. Some of the scenes, I'm not afraid to say, were actually really awesome (if you've seen it, the hockey stick KO was my favorite!). All in all, as long as you don't expect anything oscar-worthy from Mall Cop, you might find that it was worth your 8-9 bucks. If you tend to be very critical of movies, however, Mall Cop probably won't satisfy you.

Overall Rating: 7/10

Also, something new I'm gonna do in my blogs: An 'I'm Currently Listening To' section to end it. Over the year, I've finally developed a decent music taste lol. I used to pick up Linkin Park and that was about it. Now I'm listening to an extremely wide variety of stuff all the way 1969 - 2008, all forms of rock ranging from metal to soft rock. I'm also wading into some rap and country. Not much yet but some. So yeah, chances are, If you're not liking one song, keep checking back and you'll find something you like in here. And just so you all know, I do pay for all my music. After not being able to go to a Disturbed concert because tickets were too expensive, I decided I would try and help the music industry as much as I could. As a last note, please give me suggestions too! I love finding new bands and music. I'm trying everything so don't be afraid to share your stuff with me. All music has it's merits and I'd like to find the good artists from every genre. So thanks for readin everyone! See ya tomorrow friends!
