Paul Blart (Kevin James) is a security guard at a mall and is incredibly dedicated to his job. When the mall gets held up by criminals, taking hostages in the bank, Paul is justice's only hope. He becomes the police's inside man and attempts to single-handedly take down the crooks and save the hostages which includes his daughter.
I've seen this movie already and I must say it was pretty funny. Having said that, I felt that it wasn't up to Kevin James' regular standards if you know what I mean. But, regardless, it is a fun movie to watch with family and friends.

Genre: Horror
Runtime: 84 mins
Rated in Msia: 18PL
Shane and Yod attempt to illegally record a horror movie in the theater. Soon after, they find themselves living out the horror movie in the real world.
Until this day, I regard Shutter as one of the most frightening horror films I have ever seen. Had me terrified for days. Especially because of the scene where the ghost is climbing up the ladder. And the last scene where the ghost is on the dude's shoulders. Freaky! Well, Coming Soon should scare all our socks off, even more so if you watch it in the cinemas. So make sure you do.
