I have two each of the 1/4-cup, 1-cup and 2-cup Oxo measuring cups, and one of the 4-cup ones. I actually have a ton of measuring cups, but these are the ones I grab first. It is beyond convenient to just be able to look down at the cup instead of holding it up or squatting down to see if the liquid

I have been looking forward to the "S6 IS" coming out this year (after skipping out on the S3 and S5), and now it's out, with the name "SX10 IS". I think Canon wanted to show that this camera is a huge leap forward from the S5 IS, and it certainly is given the new specs.

As preposterous action movies go, Jumper is pleasantly unpretentious and breezily entertaining. A young man named David (Hayden Christensen) discovers he has the power to teleport (or "jump") anywhere he can visualize. After using this power to steal and make a comfortable life for himself, he pursues the girl he longed for in school (Rachel Bilson, The O. C.). But as he does so, another jumper (Jamie Bell, Billy Elliot) and a pack of fanatical jumper-hunters called paladins (led by a white-haired Samuel L. Jackson) crashes into David's freewheeling life. Jumper wastes no time trying to explain how jumping works or delving into the hows and whys of the paladins; this is an alluring fantasy of power directed at a pell-mell pace by Doug Liman (The Bourne Identity, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Go). There's a brief moment when it feels like the movie will bog down in romance and vague gestures towards character development--happily, that's the moment when Bell appears and the whole movie shifts into overdrive. You might wish that Bell and Christensen had swapped roles; Bell has a far more engaging personality, and Christensen's bland good looks might better suit a more aggressive character. Nonetheless, Jumper has oodles of dynamism and nifty visual effects to propel its comic-book storyline forward. A variety of recognizable actors in bit parts (such as Diane Lane and Kristen Stewart, Panic Room) suggest that the filmmakers are laying the groundwork for sequels. Based on a critically-acclaimed science-fiction novel by Steven Gould. --Bret Fetzer

Bad movie
10/8/2008
This movie is terrible!! I give this a one star because of the special effects but otherwise this movie sucks. I am more confused than ever after I watched this movie. As with other movies I had hoped they would give histories of the jumpers like how they came about and so forth and the people who kill jumpers and how they came about and so forth. This movie is a tag your it and catch me if you can.

Might have made a good TV show
10/8/2008
...wait, wasn't that Sliders? Okay, not exactly the same, but comparing those two is a good way to show everything that was wrong with Jumper.

The concept is fine, but the execution was sorely lacking. There's no character development because so much time is covered over the course of the movie. We get no insight into the main character's thoughts, motivations, or personality. He comes off as shallow and two-dimensional. He goes from scared kid to conscienceless, arrogant jerk in ten minutes. There's never any question or delving into whether what he's doing is right or wrong (he's a thief, plain and simple) or how he could use his power for good instead of just wasting it. Granted, who wouldn't want to gallivant about the world, carefree, I suppose, but the moral struggle would be very much a part of the character.

Unlike in Sliders, the Jumpers have full control over where they go and when. Still, the TV show format of one or two jumps and an adventure per show would be far more entertaining than this jumbled, boring, barely explained plotline. Then again, this would require character development and plot.

Even the pivotal plot point about the secret organization is boring, focusing on a religious inquisition instead of, oh, upholding the law. Of all the trite and cheesy story lines (scientific experiments, military uses, etc) this is not only the tritest and cheesiest, but also the most yawn-inducing.

Even as a mindless action movie this one fails, unless your aim is to become a brain-dead zombie. The greatest part of this movie was the end, simply because it meant it was over. A huge disappointment, because there were so many elements (his mother, for one) which could have been interesting if they'd done more than scratch the surface.

Heartthrob
10/7/2008
"Jumper" was a film that I enjoyed so much that I went back to see it in the theatre a second time. I'm so glad that I have the great DVD. Doug Liman had directed another favorite of mine, Mr. & Mrs. Smith (Widescreen Edition). In adapting Steven Gould's novel, the current executive producer of TV's new "Knight Rider" series planned for a three-part picture franchise. Hayden Christensen who came to prominence as Anakin Skywalker in Episodes II & III of "Star Wars" and earned a Golden Globe Best Supporting Actor nomination for 2001's "Life as a House" plays David Rice, a young man who can teleport instantly. We learn a back history of war between the jumpers and those out to destroy them, the Paladins. Samuel L. Jackson who was great in S.W.A.T. (Widescreen Special Edition) and got a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nomination for "Pulp Fiction" plays the white-haired Roland who hunts David. David's high school heartthrob is Millie played by TV's "O.C." Rachel Bilson who was also excellent in The Last Kiss (Widescreen Edition). David runs into another jumper played by Jamie Bell who won the British Best Actor Academy Award for "Billy Elliott" and also appeared in Clint Eastwood's "Flags of Our Fathers." Diane Lane has what is essentially a cameo that would be sure to grow if there is a second film. She plays David's mother Mary who is a Paladin. She loves her son, but also has vowed to kill him. Michael Rooker has a great cameo as the alcoholic father William Rice. Oscar nominee Tom Hulce from 1984's "Amadeus" plays Mr. Bowlker. I really enjoyed this non-stop action flick and loved the great effects from the British double-decker bus that suddenly bursts into the desert to the great fight scene that lands Griffin & David in Iraq. This is an excellent film that promises to become a great film series. Enjoy!

Full of possibilities, but misses all of them!
10/2/2008
Time-traveling, teleporting. I've been always kind of a sucker for these sci-fi premises. What would you do if you could teleport yourself to basically any place on the face of the earth? Steven Gould, in his novel Jumper, uses this premise and gives his characters the innate ability to instantly teleport themselves. It is definitely an interesting foundation, however, Director Doug Liman and screenwriters David S. Goyer, Jim Uhls and Simon Kinberg do little to exploit this promising idea, and come up with a movie that takes us through NYC, Rome, Egypt, Tokyo, but ends up going absolutely nowhere.

Hayden Christensen is David Rice, a normal teenager until he finds he's got the ability to teleport himself from place to place when he first "jumps" spontaneously in order to escape his abusive father (Michael Rooker). Having run away, he learns to control his ability and then does, I guess, what every one of us, being a teleporting teenager, would do: go into a bank's vault and get away with several thousands in cash. The good thing is that Jumpers do not have to worry about mingling their own molecules with a fly's, as they can actually hold onto anything: other people, cars, even parts of a building, and teleport to another place arriving safe and sound on the other side with whoever or whatever they were carrying.

David grows up and, by that time, he's already got a penthouse at a luxurious NY building and he's been all over the world. The usual day for him involves having breakfast on top of the Giza's Sphinx in Egypt, spending the afternoon surfing the best waves of the season in Hawaii or Fiji, and having a drink at a popular pub in London while checking out and hitting on the hot babes at night.

Yes, life is good for David, that is, until the bad guys appear. He learns that he is not the only one with that unusual gift and also learns that there is actually a group of people that hunt Jumpers for a living. Roland, played by Samuel L. Jackson, has been following David since he first broke in at his first bank. He is the leader of the Paladins, that particular group of individuals whose only goal in life seems to be killing all the Jumpers and, apparently, this war between Jumpers and Paladins has been going on for hundreds if not thousands of years.

But David doesn't look like he is the type of guy that'd enjoy messing up with other people's lives. Granted, he steals money, but then he is basically a good guy that likes to pamper himself and enjoy a low-profile, big-shot-like life and spend big amounts of money. I'd bet the IRS would nail him before The Paladins would. Ok yes, I guess with time David could get bored of all the indulgences and turn to the bad side; maybe teleport himself right into the Pentagon secret archives and steal some sensitive material and then try to sell it or just give it away to a terrorist organization. I haven't read the book, but I understand that, in the original Gould's novel, there is no Paladin organization and the villains (or at least the guys chasing David), are actually NSA agents who are trying to understand these powers and get them to "good" use. I think Roland says that he works for the NSA, which initially made sense to me, but then, this character turns out to be just an obsessed, fanatical hunter. This is where the movie starts going nowhere. We spend the rest of the time watching Roland following and fighting David, while he drags with him his love interest, Millie (Rachel Blison), around the world. Throw in the appearance of Griffin (Jamie Bell), another paranoid Jumper, and the brief and inexplicable appearance of David's mother (Diane Lane), who's a Paladin herself (!?), and we end up with this 88 minute mess.

There are so many inconsistencies in this movie that it is hard to follow. For instance, I really never bought or understood Roland. What's his motivation? Nobody knows. The movie doesn't stop to elaborate on this issue. Maybe he's jealous because he can't teleport himself, but, in any case, he seems to be pretty much settled as he can travel all over the world and it is obvious that he doesn't depend on commercial airlines schedules.

Roland utters at some point something like: "God is the only one that should have those powers!", and if you consider that the name Paladins has been associated with the highest officials of the Catholic Church, the religious connotation is inevitable. I assume that most religious people don't question what their religion says, they just comply. Liman and company are like that, they don't care. They don't give the Paladins a cause, they just let them hate the Jumpers so much, and then they give us Roland, an overzealous, inquisitorial-like priest whose religion states that its worst deadly sin is teleporting.

Roland is blind for mysterious reasons, but I'm not. If David's mother is a Paladin and she won't kill her own son, why not convince her to enlist David as a Paladin? Paladins can not "jump", so it might be helpful for them to have an actual jumper in the ranks. Why not convince David to partner with him and do something good for the entire human race, or just themselves? Can you imagine the possibilities? This is what saves this movie from the worst rating. I've spent myself quite some time thinking about these, and when movies make me think, I like them. Forget about having David teleporting medical supplies to a disaster stricken, inaccessible region, or having David rescue a bunch of people from the top of a burning building. How about being the world's most feared paparazzo? Jump into a celebrity's home, catch him or her off guard, and get away with some photos that could be sold to the tabloids for millions, or how about just establishing the world's fastest and most effective courier service? Anyway, if I ever come across a Jumper, watch out FedEx!

What a great idea for a film but the story did not just fall through it fell all the way to China. Watching this movie made you want to go see the dentist as that would be a better story with a good ending.

If you have two hours to kill watch the Muppets in Space, it was better Sci-fi then this.
