Kevin James returns to work as everyone's favourite mall cop in the sequel to the 2009 comedy. When clumsy, overweight security guard Paul Blart (James) travels to Las Vegas with his daughter Maya (Raini Rodriguez) to attend the annual Security Guard Conference, he inadvertently discovers that a heist is being planned by master criminal Vincent (Neal McDonough). As the security team of the Las Vegas hotels refuse to take the threat seriously, Blart takes it upon himself to find the crooks and catch them in the act, proving to himself and everyone around him that he's still got what it takes to be a good security guard.
The cast also includes Eduardo Verastegui, Daniella Alonso and David Henrie.
In his short life (1865-1921), Micha Josef Berdichevsky was a
versatile and influential man of letters: an innovative Hebrew
prose stylist; a collector of Jewish folklore; a scholar of ancient
Jewish and Christian history. He was at once a peer of the Brothers
Grimm, Sholem Aleichem, Friedrich Nietzsche, and a diverse circle
of Jewish writers in the Russian Empire and German-speaking
countries. As a Yiddish writer, however, he remains largely unknown
to gen eral readers. Originally published in the 1920s, his stories
were dismissed by prominent critics and viewed as out of step with
the literary taste of his own time. Yet these vivid portraits of a
small Jewish town (shtetl) in the southern Russian Empire can speak
powerfully to audiences today. With enchanting humor, social
satire, and verbal dexterity, From a Distant Relation captures the
world of the shtetl in a sharp realist prose style. Themes of
repressed desire, poverty, relations with non-Jews, and historic
upheavals echo in a cast of memorable characters. Many of the
stories and monologues feature strong female protagonists, while
others shed light on the misogynistic culture of the shtetl. At the
border between fiction and reportage, with a gritty underbelly and
a deceptive naivete, Berdichevsky's stories explore dynamics of
wealth, power, and gender in an intimate setting that resonates
profoundly with contemporary Jewish life.
Why would a normal teenager throw his heart and soul into an
average Third Division football club for almost a decade, only to
walk away from them at the height of their success? After
abandoning that club for 20 years, what would cause him to rekindle
his passion in a conversion-like experience, and then stick with
the club for the rest of his life? The answers lie in the
psychology of attachment. This is the story of James Adams and his
support of Coventry City, from the days of Billy Frith to Mark
Robins. It's an account that delves into the crucial yet poorly
understood psychological aspects of football fandom to uncover
truths that every football fan can relate to. Join James on a
rollercoaster ride as he asks important questions of himself and
his life alongside a backdrop of footballing highs and lows,
including three Wembley victories and four promotions, as well as
FA Cup debacles for the Sky Blues. Attached to Coventry City is a
highly personal, honest and reflective account of the unusual story
of a lifelong football fan.
