Random Movie Reviews by a Random Blogger Number Two

Last night I saw Jumper. I probably actually wouldn't want to see it, if not for the fact that the Ann Arbor News had a bunch of articles on it earlier, because part of it was filmed in my favorite town.

So, for those of you unfamiliar with the plot, there's this guy who can teleport. He can like look at a picture and be there in seconds. Turns out there are more of those people, and they are all being hunted by these other "normal" people called Paladins. So the main character, David, who I realized half-way through the movie was Anakin from Episode 3 (Hayden Christensen- ugh), has to avoid them and save his girlfriend Milly or whatever. Everyone thought he was dead from falling into the frozen Huron River, but nah he teleports to the library.

"One second I was a goner, the other I found myself in the Ann Arbor Library"- David (not exact quote, but deal with it)

I have a few rants about the movie. Because it is not logical. For one, the Paladins hunt them for the sole purpose that "the Jumpers can do anything they want", even though technically they hadn't done anything actually bad. Andddd the Paladins kill the innocent relatives, so they should be arrested.

Sorry if these are spoilers, but I don't think you'll see this movie, because, well, I don't really recommend it. Which is sort of saying you'll actually listen to what I'm saying, but whatever.

So anyway. Went skiing today with my dad. It was actually quite awesome. I went down a red trail or two (green is easiest, then blue, red, black) and one of them was so steep you couldn't see the bottom at one point. I fell down, half on purpose, and then just dug sideways with my skis in the snow down. It was worthy of a few swearwords.

Things are good I guess... people thinking about high school a lot lately.

I almost feel like the only person I can relate to right now is the person who's in the similar position as me. And the others are just.. I do not even know.

Not good.

But then again, it's all an over-reaction. In fact, it's all real! All fake! I know!
