Jumper

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Don’t you wish you could teleport?  Well, that’s just what Jumper is about.

I actually liked this movie a little more than I thought I would.  See… I’ve always thought teleportation was the lamest of all Super Powers (give me strength, speed, and flight any day), so I wasn’t expecting to find this to be all that much.

But, it was pretty cool.

The acting was good for the most part… the lead female wasn’t that great, but the men in this movie are all really good and (for the most part) believable.

The special effects are cool… at first.  As I expected, they got really old really fast, and after a while you just get tired of seeing the air ripple and the low pitched WHOOP sound that accompanies a jump.

If you read my blog about watch-movies.net, you know I saw Jumper on my computer.  I wish I would have seen it on the big screen.  Some of the effects (like the bus teleporting scene you probably saw in the trailer) would look much better on a huge theater screen than on my 12 inch monitor.  In other words, I suggest you hurry up and see this one before you have to rent it.  Jump to the theater now!  Or… if you can’t teleport, drive.  Drive really fast.

Semi-Pro

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Will Farrel’s new movie Semi-Pro is all about the basketball team the Flint Michigan Tropics.

This movie is supposed to be a comedy.  Key word?  SUPPOSED!  It fails.

Well, don’t get me wrong, it’s an ok movie.  It’s got a simple story, but it’s entertaining at least with the costumed dancing, the bad playing of the team, and of course Will Farrel getting beat up by a bear!

But… is it funny?  I wouldn’t say so.  Most of the film is kind of bland at best.  Granted, I laughed at a few scenes… but it wasn’t enough for me to call this movie “funny”.

If you’re a Will Farrell fan, you might really enjoy this.  If you’re not… you’ll only be mildly amused.

Watch movies online!!!!!

This is a link my sister gave me.  CLICK HERE to watch movies online!  You can watch just about any movie, including stuff that’s still in movie theaters.  Yes, the ones still in theaters are bootlegged, but some have very good quality.  And there’s nothing to download- it’s all streaming!

Why, last night I watched Semi-Pro, and earlier today I watched Jumper!  I’m going to do reviews of each in a moment.

New on DVD March 5
