Yikes: Newsday reports that after a Sunday night showing of the new horror film "My Bloody Valentine 3D," a security guard stabbed a 16-year-old moviegoer after an argument. Apparently the teen wanted to wait inside the Sunrise Multiplex in Valley Stream for his ride (it's unclear if it's the actual room where the movie was shown or the theater's lobby), but the guard Ricardo Singh wanted moviegoers out. "They pushed and shoved each other, then Singh 'removed a folding knife from his jacket pocket and stabbed the victim in the upper stomach area.'" The teen's wound took six stitches to close and Singh was charged with second-degree assault. Newsday adds that the movie includes "images of body parts, blood and sharp objects appear to hurtle toward the audience" and has the tagline "Nothing says 'date movie' like a 3D ride to hell!" In spite those tempting elements, "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" was number one at the box office.
