He’s kind of like Paul Blart, only a sociopath

The imaginatively titled "Hannah Montana: The Movie" was the
most popular movie last weekend, but since I'm not eight years old,
and since I'd die a terrible death rather than willfully watch
Miley Cyrus do or say anything for more than four seconds at a
time, "Observe and Report" it is. Then we've got "State of Play"
and "The Soloist" in the coming weeks before "X-Men: Wolverine" and
"Star Trek" arrive to mark the start of what may be an uneven
summer season. Here's hoping for the best.
