Jumper

The lady and I went to see Jumper last night which leads to me blogging about it this morning.

It was enjoyable. It was a campy (I don't really know what that means but it seems appropriate) sci-fi film. I'm just going to make a list of points about the film, since lists seem to be my thing lately.

1) Randy said it best, it's the Nightcrawler movie, except there are a lot of nightcrawlers, and they're not blue.
2) Hayden Christensen cannot act. He just can't do it.
3) The movie teases you with a lot of information that makes you think that this movie was just a small chunk of a larger idea. Sequel? God, I sure hope so.
4) The love story was alright. The love interest girl, lady, whose name I can not remember and am too lazy to IMDB was presented with two shocking revelations in the movie. One was handled quite weirdly, but that could be cause by the script, and the second was handled quite well I think. She was good.
5) Sam Jackson only actually kills one person in this movie and that kind of makes me sad.
6) The weapons and battles in this movie are pretty cool, wish there had been more of that.

Overall it was kind of awesome. Go see it at the dollar theater or at a matinée and don't go in expecting to be blown away.
