'Jesus Christ Superstar' is one of my all-time favorite musicals. And this stage adaption I like very much. I think it's better than the '70s movie version.
This version together with the original 1970 recording are my favorite versions of the musical.
I especially like the way Jerome Pradon plays Judas. He is not the perfect singer (even his own admission), but I like how he conveys the feelings of someone having to betray one of his dearest friends and his regret doing so.

Plot:
With a heart that won't quit, a stomach that won't stop gurgling, and a self-sworn oath to protect his turf, he's Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Mild-mannered Paul Blart (Kevin James, "The King of Queens") has always had huge dreams of becoming a State Trooper. Until then, he patrols the local mall as a security guard. With his closely cropped mustache, personal transporter and gung-ho attitude, only Blart seems to take his job seriously. All that changes when a team of thugs raids the mall and takes hostages. Untrained, unarmed and a super-size target, Blart has to become a real cop to save the day.

This is the second time I watched this movie, I find it to be a fun... silly type of film that uses a lot of slapstick comedy. On the down side it is pretty darn predictable. But on the up side I did find it entertaining... it easily kept my interest throughout. Definitely worth the watch if you like silly slapstick humor.
