TV Guide
Kevin James is not just the King of Queens, but the king of the box office as well.
For the second weekend in a row, James' Paul Blart: Mall Cop topped the list, this time earning $21.5 million to bring its cumulative gross to $64.8 million.
The comedy edged Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, which debuted to $20.7 million, a slightly lower opening than that of its predecessors, Underworld ($21.7 million) and Underworld: Evolution ($26.8 million). The weekend's other new release, Inkheart, failed to intrigue moviegoers, bowing in seventh with $7.7 million.
Dropping one place to third but still riding strong was Clint Eastwood's Gran Torino ($16 million), which now sits $3 million shy of the $100 million mark. Boosted by their Oscar nominations, Slumdog Millionaire, which earned 10 nods, and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which received 13, moved into fifth and ninth, respectively. Slumdog's $10.6 million haul brings its total to $56 million, while Button's $6 million take enabled the film to re-enter the top 10. Button's total is now $111 million.
Rounding out the top 10 were Hotel for Dogs (No. 4, $12.4 million), My Bloody Valentine 3-D (No. 6, $10.1 million), Bride Wars (No. 8, $7 million) and Notorious (No. 10, $5.7 million).

Synapsis : Kevin James, of King of Queens and Hitch fame, plays your typical "every man" character in this movie. Paul Blart is a guy whose dream job (New Jersey state trooper) is just out of his grasp, but who's making the best he can out of the job he has - security guard at the local mall. He lives with his mother and daughter and dreams of finding that one person who can love and appreciate him for himself. The fateful time arrives for Paul to prove just what he's made of when a group of really bad folks, disguised as Santa's Helpers, take control of the mall just before closing time on Black Friday, the biggest shopping day of the year. They chase all the customers out at gunpoint, lock the doors, and take hostages in the bank branch located in the mall, including the object of Paul's affection - Amy - a kiosk worker in the mall. Their plan - steal the approximately $3 million in sales receipts on the credit card machines in the mall's stores. They've got just one problem - Paul Blart. What follows is a hilarious game of cat and mouse between these gun-toting, skateboard and trick bike riding thugs and Paul, an overweight security guard on a Segway scooter. There are quite a few unexpected plot twists and just when you think Paul's had it, he surprises you and the bad guys yet again with his quick wittedness and courage.

Building blocks of a new vow
A million stops and a new route
The acting out of the possible feels
Better than the few doubts
Political change

All in attempts to embellish the reign
Of power to the people – so that we may develop
The sequel of living
In love for the peaceful
Pushing the envelope honoring all
Of the work
Paying attention to reason
Dipping our feet in deeper than
Moderate worth
Teaching minds of a new height
Seeking finds of a new light
This is the meaning of outreach
When it’s outta reach we still fight

Flightless Bird
I was a quick wet boyDiving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes
Wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair
I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map
And called for you everywhere
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill looming
Now I’m a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats
Curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean
Blood of Christ mountain stream
Have I found you?
Flightless bird, grounded bleeding
Or lost you?
American mouth
Big pill, stuck going down
Uhmmm, Uhmmmm, Uhmmm
Uhmmm, Uhmmmm, Uhmmm…
