Paul Blart: Mall Cop has always been some kind of meme on the Internet. I never really understood it because I had never seen the movies, so I decided to change that today.

I often saw references to Paul Blart in the comments of reddit posts, where it would be set up as if some­body was telling an anecdote. Then, the story would take an unexpected turn, something unrealistic would happen, then a reference to Paul Blart: Mall Cop would be made.

After watching the movies today, I sort of understand why Paul Blart is used as a meme.

To put it simply, the Paul Blart: Mall Cop movies are so stupid, unrealistic, and facepalm-inducing that they’re somewhat funny.

The main idea of the storyline is that there is an overweight man named Paul Blart who is a mall cop. He rides around on a Segway making sure that everyone in the mall is safe.

Paul is very dedicated to his job, and tries his best. Unfortunately for him, mall cops don’t really get the credit they deserve, and the mall’s security department is short of both status/reputation and resources. When he tries to make something right, he is often met with laughs.

In the first movie, Paul is on duty on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) when a hostage situation erupts, putting the lives of his crush and his daughter at risk. In the second movie, Paul is at a security convention where he discovers that a bunch of criminals are trying to steal art from a hotel.

The way the story unfolds is very silly, and anything remotely close to it would never actually happen. The movie sort of gives Paul the “invincible” persona, where he can do anything, and the bad guys are unable to just shoot him and move on with their plans.

There were some pretty decently funny parts, though, and if you accept it as a movie intended to be dumb and cheesy and watch it in that context, then I’m sure at least some people will enjoy it.

Last week, I watched the 2013 comedy film We’re the Millers, starring Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, and Emma Roberts. My decision to watch this movie came from its relatively high rating on IMDb, as well as its inclusion in IMDb’s most popular comedies.

The main plot features David, a drug dealer who, due to unfortunate circumstances, is ordered by his boss to travel to Mexico to pick up some marijuana and transport it across the border into the United States. David is sure that if he does this by himself, he will get caught by border patrol.

David realizes that happy families are never questioned. Although he’s single and doesn’t have a family of his own, he decides to create a fake family with others in his everyday life to portray himself as a father, rather than a drug dealer.

Upon arriving at Mexico, David has something unexpected waiting for him. However, due to improbable and humorous luck, he manages to successfully complete the job – or so he thought. David and his “family” begin running into problems that delay their trip.

One particular thing I liked about this movie is how it brings together two seemingly contradictory themes – drugs and family – into a humorous plot. Although a lot of the events are unbelievable, the movie does a great job taking some particular conflicts and somehow making them seem realistic. Overall, the comedy is witty and relateable, and it makes you realize how much of a great time you can have with your family.

Today’s movie review is about Now You See Me, a crime mystery movie featuring Jesse Eisenberg (the same actor who played Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network), Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco, among others.

Now You See Me is about a group of four magicians with the stage name The Four Horsemen. Starting as four individual performers, they were brought together by The Eye, a legendary icon in magic history.

After coming together, the Four Horsemen successfully demonstrate never-before seen magic tricks, live in front of an audience. the finales of these performances end in robberies – once robbing a bank in another continent, and another robbing a wealthy man, then distributing all the money to the studio audience.

On the case to stop these magicians-turned-criminals are two law enforcement officials, a man from the FBi and a woman from Interpol. Although the man seems frustrated at those who get captivated with magic, the woman elects to take the smarter route and does research in an attempt to fight magic with magic.

Eventually, the crime is solved and the person believed to be behind everything is imprisoned. However, is the suspect really responsible for everything? Or was the real answer right in front of us the whole time?

This movie does a great job integrating magic into a very realistic story and plot. It also emphasizes that magic is deception, more than anything else, and it’s not the magician tricking us, but us tricking ourselves. The ultimate reveal of deception comes at the end of the movie when the answer to the movie’s mystery was right in front of us the whole time, but we just tricked ourselves into not seeing it.

I enjoyed watching this movie, and thought it had a great, well-connected plot with good event progression. This movie did a great job at wasting little time, and making every minute count towards developing the story and culminating to the final reveal. I definitely recommend Now You See Me to people who enjoy thrillers, as the story will keep you attached and constantly thinking.

Following up watching The Hangover, Part II, I decided to finish off the series by watching The Hangover, Part III.

Fortunately, the premise of the story is different from the first and second parts, and the movie does not begin with a wedding gone wrong. Instead, the plot involves Alan’s friends proposing an intervention into his life due to his unacceptable behavior. Alan agrees, and the Wolf Pack drive to drop him off at a rehabilitation facility.

However, their trip doesn’t go as planned when they are attacked due to their connection with international criminal Chow. A member of the Wolf Pack gets kidnapped, and the rest go out to hunt for Chow, who is needed for the safe return of their friend.

According to how this movie ends, it seems like this will be the last installment in the Hangover series. I think it was a good idea to end the series here, as, although I enjoyed the entire Hangover series, the quality of the story of the movies seemed to gradually decrease. Instead of coming up with genuinely attention-grabbing and compelling plot progression, the final movie felt as if it relied more on absurd and extreme moments to keep the viewers watching.

On top of that, the humor in the movie seems to have slightly degraded as well. Instead of using the clever wit found in the previous movies, it seems like now they resort more to crude humor. Of course, this is expected because the main characters are now Alan and Chow, both of whom generally don’t demonstrate brilliant wit. However, I still think that the movie could have integrated the humor in a smarter manner.

I think that this movie is somewhat undeserving of the Hangover name. Of course, because the second part of the movie was called The Hangover, Part II, it’s only logical that the sequel is Part III. However, I think the name The Hangover was a little bit too specific to be a broad movie series, and almost feel as if this movie is as successful as it was because of its ties with the original The Hangover. Regardless, the basis of the criticism is primarily because of how amazing the first movie was, and from a more neutral standpoint, The Hangover, Part III is, in my opinion, still a great movie.

A lot of the themes and the main storyline of this movie relies heavily on the fact that you have already watched the previous Hangover movies, so if you plan on watching The Hangover, Part III, I encourage you to watch the previous two movies first. Circularly, if you watched the first two movies, I recommend watching the third part, as I feel like it brings the whole story full circle.

If you’ve at all kept up with popular movies, you know that The Hangover was one of the top hits back in 2009. Two years later, the sequel to the movie, The Hangover, Part II, was released with the same cast, starring Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifinakis, and Justin Bartha as the “Wolf Pack.”

When I asked my buddies about The Hangover, Part II, although none of them explicitly stated that it was a bad movie, most of them mentioned that it was basically the whole story of The Hangover all over again, and that it wasn’t worth seeing. However, when I went on IMDb, the ratings weren’t terribly low, so I decided that it was still probably worth seeing, especially because of how much I enjoyed The Hangover.

After watching it today, I’m glad I chose to do so. This was the first movie I watched in a very long time (I just checked my website for other movie reviews and it seems to have been over two years), so I didn’t have much of a basis upon which to rate this movie. As a result, my perception of the movie might have been slightly more positive than if I had seen other great movies; regardless, I still liked the movie.

Overall, I thought it had a pretty good story progression and pace. It was able to maintain my attention and curiosity by not going too slow, but also not going too fast such that I had no time to think about what was going on. It had some good amounts of scattered humor throughout the movie, in a similar style as the first The Hangover. I also felt like this second part attempted to add more craziness to the movie, but it still doesn’t take it over the top where it becomes unbelievable or unrealistic.

My friends were right when they told me that the premise of the story is the same, and it’s The Hangover all over again. However, it doesn’t really feel like watching the same movie over again. The only time you have the thought of the story repeating itself is at the beginning where they undergo a “not again” moment, but throughout the movie, you get captivated by the storyline enough that there are no additional moments where the thought of “I remember this from last movie” comes up in your mind.
