Seth Rogan VS Kevin James

In an almost mind blowing act of coincidence there is another movie about a mall cop scheduled to be released. I am speaking of the Seth Rogan vehicle "Observe and Protect" (it appears that the title has been changed from "Observe and Report) So perhaps we are witness to a new genre being born. The genre of the mall cop, perhaps I was to quick to dismiss the power of Paul Blart (The Original Mall Cop) because after seeing the trailer that I am posting below. (Redband may be NSFW) you will be enlightened.



I actually enjoyed this preview but I will confess to being a Rogan fan from back when he was on the truly inspired "Freaks and Geeks" see it if you get a chance. So I am a little biased to begin with but I felt that I watched the trailer with an open mind and I was pleasantly surprised. So let me know what you think. Though I wonder does Ray Liotta consider this a step down from "Good Fellas" or a step up from "Wild Hogs".

Have you ever truly asked yourself during times of trouble "What would so and so do in this situation"? Well I think the time has come for a new person to ask this question about and that person is Thomas Magnum.

You have to ask yourself what the hell is going in in the world when the number 1 movie in the country is Kevin James as Paul Blart : Mall Cop. It's not that I dislike Kevin James I found him actually pretty funny in "King of Queens" but my tastes run more toward Patton Oswalt and his style of humor. I might also add that this is the second week in a row at number 1. Now what does this mean is it a sign that movies and the movie making industry are just putting out big steaming piles and the average American movie goer has no taste? I think it is. Are things really that bad that we need this kind of entertainment? Come on people there has to be something else to do. When you spend money on movies like this it only encourages them and now I would be willing to bet that a sequal is in the works. In fact, I bet we are witnessing the birth of a new "Hey Vern" franchise and it is all your fault. If anyone has a reasonable response to my accusation please feel free to step up to the plate.
