#163 - Jumper

Directed by Doug Liman
2008 Action/Adventure
Rated PG-13

**

A movie that could've been just so much better if handled correctly. Among it's problems are that it tries to squeeze two (maybe three) movies worth of material into one, resulting in a whole mess of information and action coming way to fast in it's brief 88 minutes. Also attempts to setup a completely unnecessary sequel at the end (that, if I understood it correctly, would also make ZERO sense; those who've seen the flick will understand what I mean). Oh yeah, and "Wooden" Christensen didn't help either.

#162 - Salò o le 120 giornate di Sodoma

Directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini
1975 Drama
Not Rated

** 1/2

If you want to be able to say you have seen (arguably) the most demented film ever made, I recommend you check this out. Otherwise, STAY THE HELL AWAY.
