lumineauxAlthough not the sort of one-sentence poetry as the NY Times ratings explanations, the Slate review of "Jumper" has some gems:
At moments, the movie seems to be aspiring to camp, as when Samuel L. Jackson's character, preparing for an extraserious jump, spritzes a room with some mysterious substance in an aerosol can (E-Z Jump? Rules-of-Time-and-Space-B-Gone?). Only Sam Jackson could spray in a way that makes you think, man, that's some badassed spraying.

Not that the Times is falling down on the job, mind you:
"The Eye” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It has bleeding eyeballs, burning corpses and screaming violins.
