Jumper

This movie was exactly what Polly promised it would be... 80 minutes long. The easy to manage length was all it really had going for it. Here is the re-cap, originally sent to Polly in an e-mail and inspiring this whole adventure in blogging:

The main problem was the speed at which everything progressed. I think they spent too much time on back story in proportion to the action. All of a sudden he was fucking that slut Bilson in Rome, then he was fighting Sammy j in Tokyo, then he and Billy were on the same side then on different sides then the same then different, and then Sammy j is in the grand canyon and Anikin and slutty Bilson are off to live a carefree existence.

After further discussion with Polly, it was brought to my attention that I missed one key element of this movie. Billy's hair was actually quite fantastic and turned in an amazing performance. It wasn't as good as when he danced, but still, adorable. In Polly's words, "The hair was Mosbyesque."
